Gen Nowton Learned q Lesson In an In
a- diana Stone Quarry.
Apropos of the late Gen. Newton's
death is little story he told twenty
years ago, when his work at He'll Cato
made him a much-talked-of man.
II was in the quarry country Of In
diana" he said, where they take great
blocks of oolytic limestone without the
use of pound of powder. Ind heard
of the process, and took team ut
Greensburg and drove down to the
quarries to see. The superintendent
was q Welshman of unpromising up
pearance. He was certainly an unedu-
Gated man, SO far as colleges went, but
he knew his business.
II asked him how he managed to
blast such huge blocks of the rock, and
how much dynamite was required to
the ton. He said he did not use dyna-
mite or any other explosive. He simply
used unslaked lime. 1t astonished me,
but before he took me to the quarry he
set up piece of pine board IN inch
thick against wall of rock, brought
out n revolver and fired Mt the board.
"The bullet passed through, fat
tened against the stone and fell to the
ground. Then he set up the board
again, and, taking the flattened bullet,
threw it against the board with aston
ishing skill, striking 1t each time in the
same place, and after the fifth cast the
board was split from top to bottom.
~ didn't use us much force when I
threw as when shot, did p he said.
But the board would never split along
the grain by shooting at 1t. l could
tear that board into pieces shooting.
but If 1 want it to break in long sec
tions on the grain don't want to use
such n sudden force.
"'That's how blast with lime
"And then he took me to the quarry.
They had drilled series of holes in
the place he Ind marked, his Judgment
and trained intelligence telling him
where the dividing line should run.
Then they tampcd these holes full of
unslaked lime, poured water on it,
keyed them shut and waited. In
twelve hours the mass of rock he
wanted would begin with groans and
cracklings to separate. In sixteen
hours 1t would be free, and the force Of
the lime would be spent.
"'If used powder or dynamite said
he, Il would rip out such mass as that
in fifteen minutes; but It would be
chipped and cracked into hundred
pieces. Or, more likely, In large
blast the powder would simply tear out
way along the least resistance. she'll

big rock rs solid as ever
II thanked my Wclshmau," said Gen.
Newton. "and told him he was much OF

the following editorial from yesterday

Thursdays action Of tie directors OF

poses to AFFORD opportunity for syS-

Judgment Of the ability of Congress. OF
the Administration and of the banks TO

far from being warranted by the present

proposes 20 afford to timid and imperfect

Who told German that "this Senate was

he not know that in the opinion OF the

taking copious lbations Of holy water.
We are 10th TO conclude that German
has turned fool. We are much more dls-
posed to hold on to the common opinion
that another word better describes him.
and when we hear him talking foolishness
we are prone TO look out for "Aigger IN

well that there is no such thing as return
ing confidence in the credit OF the Gov

There is no name more familiar to the
