TELLING TREES BY STEAM.
Tho Invention OF an Enslishman, Which
Is Finding Favor Abroad.


England comes to the front with a
new invention of value. A Chelsea
manufacturer has brought ont an inn
proved form of steam tree telling and
prosecuting machine. The Duluth
News says that since the original
patent was taken out for these ma
chimes number have been sent to all
parts of the world. They are mounted
upon a strong axle, supported on 4 pair
of wheels of such diameter as to en-
able the saw 10 cut through the tree at
a height of about three feet from the
ground. This skeleton carriage is fitted
with pair of shafts, which renders it
easily transporCable through the for
est. After the tree is felled the entire
machine can be partially rotated upon
its axis so that by simply turning a
hand wheel the saw can be set to cut in
a vertical direction, or at any angle be-
tween the horizontal and vertical pO-
sition. 1t generally happens, when a
large tree falls, that it does not lie fiat,
as its branches hold the upper part of
the trunk off the ground, and so, in
order TO cross-cut trees lying in such
positions, it is necessary to incline the
saw somewhat from a direct vertical
line, which is readily done by the ad-
justment. Again, in order to cross-,ut
through a high-lying trunk, it is neces-
sary to elevate the saw, or, on the other
hand, in the case of low-lying log, TO
depress it. To effect this slotted stays
are attached TO each shaft, being
pivoted to short stakes driven in the
ground. A strong bolt passing through
the shaft takes into the slot at each
stay, to which it can be instantly set
fast by means of a nut furnished with
handle, and thus, by raising or de-
pressing the shafts, the saw can be set
at the required elevation TO suit logs
lying in any position. The machine, as
originally constructed, would fell an
oak tree ten feet in girth in three or
four minutes and cross-cut it afterward
in about two minutes, but it is expected
that in its improved form even quicker
work is possible.
