A DELICATE ROCK SLICER.
PROFESSOR DwIGHT's MACHINE FOR CUTTING
STONE WATERS.

PROFESSOR DwIGHr's MACHINE FOR CUTTING
STONE WATERS.
There are two ways in which fossil bearing
rock is prepared for examination by the scieh-
fist. He may either polish a smooth surface OF
a specimen or else cut off very thin SLICES VI
ten in pursuing the latter course. it Is essen
tial that the bit Of rock be held in certain
position, so that the slicing shall be done IN 4
particular plane There is a machine, known as
the 'Iapidarys lathe" which has been employed
for such work. But it is not susceptible or nice
Adjustment and cuts off waters scarcely more
than an inch across.

vice, already in existence for cutting of thin
slices of soft substances for microscopic eX-
animation is known as the "mcrOtome." Pro-
fessOr Dwights invention works on different
class Of materials and he therefore dubs II
the "pe. rotome" or rock cutter. 1t enables him
to get slices not more than 1-10Oth Of an inch

enough for practical purposes. Another Use
to which he puts the machine is to trim off the
corners Of cabinet specimens. which il would be
unsafe to dress with hammer.
1t Is only within a few months that scientists
have learned much about the pctrotome, al
though It is about twelve years old. The fact
that it is still in excellent condition testifes to
the workmanship Of its author Many fair
Vassar students have used it, as well as the
professor. 1t Is the only machine Of it's kind in
existence. IT, however. some professional in
strument maker would interest himself In the
matter others could be placed on the market,
after the privilege Of manufacturing under
Professor Dwights patent had been obtained.
OF course. the field Of usefulness open to such
apparatus is limited. Still, man who is likely
to want it at all will probably want it very
much.

at greater things than were his to do. We have
mentioned some: there are others that will
occur to every musician. But there is still
more serious charge TO be brought against Grieg
than the limitations seen in his attempts to
write works of the higher and more developed
forms. His warmest admirers have been dis
heartencd to see of late years a steady deteriora-
ton in the quality Of his writings in all forms.
1t must be said. though with regret, that the
sources of his inspiration have for a consider
able time been showing signs Of exhaustion.

For this reason The Tribune's reviewer at the
time thought that it failed to fulfil one Of the
requirements Of the symphonic form, for it's
finale told OF neither triumph nor defeat. but
only Of melancholy retrospecton. It's best move
ment the andante-a lovely and affecting
lament over past glOrics. But 1t was most in

Home Last November.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. July S.-Dr. A l..
Berger one of the city's foremost physi-
clans was assassinated on the street this
afternoon by John Schlegel, grocer DR..
Berger was standing at Twelfth and Wal
nut streets, a busy section of the city, while
reading a newspaper. Schlegel approached
from behind and fired two bullets into the
doctors back DR.. Berger was hurredly
taken to All Saints Hospital where he
died a few minutes after the shooting.
Schlegel made no effort to escape. He
was disarmed by men in the crowd which
quickly gathered around him and his vic
tim. The assassin asked of one of these
men whether Berger was dead, and was
told that the doctor appeared to be alive.
I'm sorry 1 did not kill him." Schlegel re-
piled, for he has ruined my home"
Witnesses who were within a few feet
of the two men when the tragedy occurred
state that as Schlegel began firing at the
doctor he exclaimed wildly: You raped
my wife. I tried to get you before, but, -
you, I'll kill you now!'
When taken to police headquarters Schle-
gel stated again that he hoped he had
killed his man. and reiterated the charge
that the doctor had ruined his wife and
home, making the charge that his wife had
Deen assaulted III the uoCtol OlHOc III W.
vember last.
Mrs Schlegel, when seen after the muir
der made the same charges against the
physician, and inquiry in the vicinity OF
the Schlegels' home developed the fact
that the story was general among their
neighbors, and that several men had ad-

Friends of DR.. Berger, however, vigorous
