very thin slices of soft organisms or
biological study, is call a 'microtome.'
AS this rock-cutter is fitted to cut hard
mineral substances with considerable
precision into thin slices, it has seemed
aDpropriate to call it a 'petrotome,
since the Greek word 'petros' means
niece of rock. The peculiar features to
which it owes it's efficiency are chiefly
as follows:
81. Affixed plane Of reference to which
all adjustments are referred.
$50. An object-holder capable Of grasp
ing firmly any hand-specimen OF any
irregular shape while permitting It's
adjustment in any possible position.
So An adjustable cutter-guide capable
of holding the thin cutting disk accur-
ately In the plane Of section, through
out the cutting, by means of adjust
able steel wheels. These features are
believed by the inventor to be posses
sed by no other machine for rock-cut-
ting, excepting that, with reference to
the third point above mentioned, guides
for the cutting disk, consisting of ac-
cessory inf1exible disks or plates i'm
perfectly adjustable, are used in some
machines.
''The plane of reference is an iron
table 24x2S inches square, whose upper
surface is planed to true level The
object-holder consists essentially Of a
powerful pair of steel jaws, worked
by two independent screws, so geared
to a combination of horizontal bar

DEATH IN MANY FORMS
Faced by a young Woman who
Walks in Her Sleep.


A pretty girl is now being treated at
the Arapahoe county hospital in Den
yer who has broken the record in SOM
nambulism, says the Denver Times.
Her name is Annie RoSSman, and dur
inc her excursions while asleep she
has been rescued from injury or death
by the police more imam l50 times.
Bolts and bars handcuffs and chains,
all failed to keep her within her room,
and, clad in a night robe, she has
roamed the streets of Denver night att
er night Everything possible was
done to cure the young woman Of her
strange mania, but to no purpose, un-
til she was placed in the hospital, where
she has been carefully watched by all
attendant, and cold water thrown in
her face every time she sought TO leave
her bed or escape. This plan seems to
be proving efficacious, and for the
present at least her sleep-walking
career has been brought to close.
The story of her experiences is marvel
Gus. and there is no record OF any man
or woman sonlnambul1St who has un-
dergone the perils that have fallen TO
her lot and escaped fatality. For
eight years Miss Rossman has been a
sleep-walker, ever since she was e1gh-
teen years old. She is a stenographer
at present, but her affliction has forced
N
work as a domestic. Under ordinary
circumstances she seems to be pos
sessed of unusual intelligence, and her
education is excellent. In appearance,
she is remarkably pretty, perfect
specimen of a blonde. She is both strik-
ing in physique and comely in features.
1t is almost marvellous to consider
the methods that have been unsuccess-
fully adopted to restrain her from her
nocturnal excursions. The windows of
her room have been locked, and the
key to the door hidden, but to no pur.
pose. So far as the hiding place OF
the KEY was concerned, she has always
seemed possessed of almost supernat-
ural powers, for if the Key was hid
den in her own room she has invaria-
bly found it, When the door was locked
from the outside she managed to cIeV-
erly pick the lock and make her way
to the street At other times she has
been tied in her bed7so securely that
it seemed as if no way would she be
able to release herself In this regard
she has exhibited the, skill OF the con
iurer, for no knot could, be tied that
She was unable to loosen, and no mat
ter how the ropes were arranged she
always found way to- release her

were transferred to this church
Finally" says Mr. Huntington, iii
1854, the people of Teruel,, realizing at
last the Importance of their mummified
lovers, had them placed upon walnut
stand, supported Mechanically in a
standing position and clothed in light
gauze skirts! 1t is impossible to con-
ceive of anything more Igrotesque or
more amusingly horrible.i The roman
tic and passionate story ends in show
case. The dusty, bohy. eorpses raised
to a horrible similitude of life, are even
so adjusted as to suggest an affection
ate gaze toward each other-a gaze
emanating from profound sockets above
which are two bald and CLASSY heads.
Marcilla is the best Preserved, the lady
having been injured and having lost
an eye in the exhumation in 1855"
The most valuable literary version Of
the story of the lovers of Teruel was
written by Don Juan Eugenio Hartzen-
bosch in 1887.
It should be explained that in the
Spanish story the young woman mar
ries in the absence of the lover. When
he returns they both die and her hus-
band decides that they shall be buried
together

addicted to long-distance riding, are
watching with a great deal of interest
the efforts to have the canal tOWpaths
in this state thrown open to Wheelmen,
says the New York Sun. Anybody who
has taken a two or three days trip
through this state or New Jersey and
has ventured on The towpaths in def
ance of law, knows somthing of the de-
light it would be to wheelmen to win
their fight against the canal boatmen.
The boatmen- are the most bitter and
Uncompromising set of bicycle haters in
the civilized world. They have abso-
lutely no liberation for the wheel or
the people who ride it and they threat
EN- to do awful things at the next cleo
ton if the powers that be legislate
against them and in favor Of the bicy-
cles.
In a measure this prejudice is justi-
fed. The mules and horses that drag
the canal boats are little more accus
toned to strange sights than the ami
mails that spend their lives in a mine.
Unless a constant watch is kept upon
them they will jump into the canal to
avoid q Wheelman. The canals are full
of curves and there is small chance Tor
a batman to save his animals if bicy-
Gle comes WhiZZing around one sudden
ly, full in their faces. The leader will
take a header into the canal without a
moments hesitation, and the second
horse is pretty sure to follow the leader
On the other hand, the friends of the
bicycle maintain that the time has
come when the canal boatmen should
be made to share the favor of the state
with them. They say that there is alb
sclutely no reason why they should be
obliged to pedal over miles of bad roads
and up hills, on many of which it is
impossible to do anything but trundle
along, for the sake of a few nervous
canal horses, when by taking the tow
paths they could cut off miles, and,
what is more important, have good and
level roads all the way The discussion
Of the matter is growing interesting in
this state because Superintendent of
Canals Aldridge has declared in favor
of letting bicycles on the towpaths. The
boatmen were staggered when they
heard Mr.. Aldridge's opinion, and have
raised such rumpus that the superin-
tendent has drawn in his horns, and
is not allowing himself to be quoted
either way nowadays. The outcome will
be watched with interest because, while
New York city people do not hear much
or know much about canals or canal
people, they are nevertheless a mighty
| power in the state, and few politicians
desire to offend them.

ROMEO AND JULIET.
Their Bodies Still Exhibited in
Spanish Chapel.

There is strong evidence to show that
the original Romeo and Juliet We're the
lovers of Teruel, an ancient city IN
Spain, says the New York Journal Inc
legend of the lovers Of Teruel has eX-
listed in Spain longer than that OF
Romeo and Juliet in Italy, and the Two
closely resemble one another. 1t IS
merely the story of two young lovers
who die rather than live without one
another.
Archer M. Huntington, student OF
Spanish literature, has visited Teruel
and there seen and photographed the
mortal remains of the two lovers.
They died early in the thirteenth cen
tury and were buried in a chapel OF
the Church of San Pedro, In 1859, dur
ing a. renovation of the55 chapel, their
tomb was discovered r From that time
it remained undisturbed, until 1919
when the repairs on the chapel We're
terminated Again the lovers rested
in peace until 1908, when they were re-
moved to the cloister and set up IN a
cupboard with a marble inscription
above them:
'Here repose the celebrated Lovers
of Teruel, Don Juan Diego Martinez de
Marcilla and Dona Ysabel de Segufa,

rarily cemented together, by simple
arrangement, could be quickly ana ac-
curately cut up with few adjustments
into angular FORMS squares, tr1angles,
heXagons, ETC., for inlaid work, sleeve
studs, etc. 1t is believed that by using
this apparatus, inlaid work could be
done economically and successfully in
this country, as it is not at present.
''This apparatus has also proved itself
of great usefulness in trimming off re-
dundant material from cabinet speci-
mems or separating without injury, as
it often cannot be safely done with the
hammer, different kinds Of specimens
on the same block of stone.
''The original machine used in the
geological laboratory Of Vassar college
is the only one yet made; it has proved
its durability by the fact that, while
it has been nearly twelve years in use,
it is in as perfect order today as when
first made; it has proved it's practic-
ability by the fact that the young lady
students cut sections by it constantly
with great success (some Of this work
having been exhibited at the Chicago
Columbian eXposition), and that, on
several occasions, work has been done
with it for prominent scientists and
jewelers. which they had not found il
practicable to get done elsewhere.

The Lone woman Traveller.

A recent issue of Fashions" an il
lustrated monthly journal for women,
has an interesting article on women
travelling alone, in which, after refer
ring to the block signal system, and
other safety devices for which the
New York Central is celebrated, this
statement is made: ##tH
IF the lone woman happens to be
going to New York City, she need have
no dread Of landing alone in the con-
fusion of big, strange place, if she
travels by the New York Central. All
she has to do is to speak to one Of
the red-capped attendants-free, serv-
ice-who will carry her bag, answer
her questions and show her to cab,
car, or elevated train.
another thing, she lands right in
the heart of the city, within a step
of a dozen or more of it's leading ho-
tels-and she should bear in mind that
this is the only railroad depot in all
New York City.
"The New York Central might aptly
be called the lone woman's route.

Rock-CuttiDg MQchiDe.
Prof William B. Dwight, of Vassar College, Its
Inventor, Describes It's Wonders in Detail

Special Correspondence of the Globe
POUGHK N. Y, July 90
For some time past rumors have found
their way into print of the invention
of machine that would slice rock.
While these have been practically true,
here for the first time is given the au-
thentic and detailed story of what is
certainly one Of the most remarkable
inventions of the century.
The inventor Is Prof. William B.
Dwight, of the department Of natural
history of Vassar college. His machine
will slice rock sixty inches square to
thinness of 1-1OO of an inch, and the
cutting will be as perfect as if the OBJ
ject were butter and the rock cutter
keen-edged knife. The following is

1t is generally necessary to cut such

planes.
at was because Of the so-calIed lapi-
dairy lathes. generally used to accom-
plish these results, were of too crude
a character, lacking any devices either
for any accurate adjustment of the
specimen, or for any adequate con-

any specimens whose section would be

it solely for personal use in his own
laboratory, in making many difficult

1ected in his field explorations After
considering carefully many possible
plans, it seemed to take as the basis
of such a machine the plan Of one pre-
viously devised by the eminent state
geologist of New York state, Prof.
James Hall, in collaboration with: his
son. This machine was in use at the
state museum at Albany, and was ca
pable of cutting readily very large sec
tions, but it's movements were very
limited and there were no arrange
ments for exact adjustment.
'As the machine here described is q
very different affair from the lapidary's
lathe in having adjustments enabling
it. to aim at precision, it seemed to de-
serve a distinctive name. An instru-
ment, which can cut with precision

Coy. WOlCOtt Elected in Mass
aChuSettS by a Handsome
Plurality.

Election returns came in slowly last night
and up to one o'clock this morning the re-
ports were very much mixed and incom-
plete. Heavy rain fell throughout New
England and New York state, and cloudy
or rainy weather prevailed throughout the
West and South.
Dispatches received at half-past one this
morning show that Governor Wolcott
polled 168, 1916 votes in Massachusetts, to 81
295 cast for Williams. The net Republican
gain in 270 towns in Massachusetts was
49,64S.
Van Wyck was elected mayor Of Greater
New York by $4,000 plurality. In Manhstt-
an and Brooklyn 760 districts gave Tracy
7,9O1, Van wyok 122,412, Low 65.277,
George 10,S52, and Gleason 213.
Returns from Richmond, Va, do not in
dictate the return of single Republican or
Populist to the legislature. The Democratic
state ticket is elected by more than $4,000
majority.
In Nebraska the Fusion state ticket is
elected by $4,000 majority. Bushnell is
probably elected governor OF Ohio by 10000
plurality.
