ter WINS that which appeared i'll the

employed six editorial writers who
furnished six columns OF matter daily
on current events. The editorial in
question was the only N which ap-
peared on that particular day and it
read: @Yesterda. was the Fourth OF

evening OF that memorable Fourth,
the editorial writer's repaired to u sal

as they were lined up for business
Mr.. Mclean unexpectedly entered.
They all expected dismissal on the
spot, but much to their surprise their
employer invited them to drink with
him and kept them ut it, threatening
to discharge the first man who re.
fused The result was that Ave OF

to the Office and the one who escaped
was only able, before succumbing like
his fellows, to write the single sem

alone i'll the editorial columns next
morning. That evening Mr.. Mclean
is said to have received n host OF let.

Gen. Nswton Learned . Lesson In A In.
diana Stone Quarry.
Apropos OF the late Gen. Newton,a
death is a little story he told twenty
years ago, when his work at He'll Gate
made him a much-talked-of man.
II Wa In the quarry country OF In
diana he said, where they take great
blocks of oolytic limestone without the
use Of a pound of powder. Ihnd heard
of the process, and I took n team Mt
EGreensburg and drove down to the
qunrries to see. Tho superintendent
was a Welshmnn Of unpromising ap-
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 dynn.
mite Or any other explosive, He simply
used unslaked lime. It astonished me,
but before he took me to the quarry he
set up a piece of pine board an inch
thick against q wall Of rock, brought
out q revolver and fred at 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 fattened bullet,
threw 1t 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.
"'1 didn't use as much force when /
threw as when ! shot, did 1 p he said.
Bat the board would lever split along
the grain by shooting ut It. 1 .ould
tear that board into pieces shooting.
but If 1 want it to break In long Sec
tions on the grain I don't want TO use
such a sudden force, :.
""That's how / blast with lime
"And then he took me to the quarry.
They had drilled o series of holes ia
the place he had marked, his Judgment
and trained intelligence telling lain
where the dividing line should run,
Then they tamped these holes full oil
unslaked lime, poured water on it
keyed them shut and waited. In
twelve hours the mass of rock hi
wanted would begin with groans and
cracklings to separate. In sixteeI
hours it would be free, and the force o.
the lime would be spent
"'If 1 used powder or dynamite sait
he, i would rip out such n mass MS tina
in fifteen minutes; but it would b,
Clipped and cracked into n hundred
pieces. Or, more likely, in n larg,
blast the powder would simply tear on
a way along the least resistance, shell
ing out a lot of spawls and leaving m,
big rock as solid as ever
81 thanked my welshmau," said Gen
Newton, "and told him he was much O
philosopher"
