GRANITE INDUSTRY.

Although the city proper has no developed
granite quarry within its bounds still this in
dustry, like nearly all others. Is making New
York its headquarters. The product OF the gran
tie quarry can be roughly divided into three
classes-monuments. building and road making
The finest grade OF natural stone Is necessary
for monument purposes and. while the quar-
res from which this material is obtained are
located elsewhere they are represented in head
quarters in this city. and conduct both selling
and finishing operations from this point
The total product of finished granite for monu-
ment purposes last year is estimated at
81 600 0OO and the amount used for road and
building purposes will exceed that sum many
times New-York is the largest user OF building
granite In the country. and all the large pro-
duccrs have Offices here, sending their sales
men to all parts OF the country. Maine. Con-
necticut and other States supply NewYork with

product used here Is mostly quarried and

SAND AND GRAVEL.

The introduction of the underground tro'ey
has added materially to the volume or business
done recently by the firms in this city VINO co"-
tract to supply sand and gravel, but apart iro"
the orders incidental TO these improvements
the condition Of the trade is such as to warrant
the statement that il was never more houriEhing
There are six large firms engaged In the ousi-
ness in this city. and a mum OF smaller ones.
who add to the general volume OF trade. The
large firms control their own sandbanks' many OF
which are situated at Hampstead Harbor ana
Cow BAY and a large quantity OF the materat
Is shipped by local firms to various points
throughout the Eastern and Northern states.
A now method Of screening for the removal OF
gravel by water was introduced by New YORK
firm about three years ago, and had us erect III

In addition to providing a sand when Is reauy
for use when dumped. it furnishes severai ui1-
ferent grades of gravel. which are used Tor con-
crete and paving purposes The sand and gravet
are shipped in scows and sold in cargo lots the
price OF screened sand averages about OU cents
a cubic yard and the gravel brings as much as
ST a cubic yard. The firms engaged III the IN
dustry operate and own their own barses, ana

A large amount Of capital is invested In the
sandbanks and in the machinery used for
screening The industry is an important one
and is in prosperous and paying condition.

METROPOLITAN HOLIDAY SUPPLEMENT.
WOOD-FfLLfNG PAINT.

The preservative qualities Of good paints are
too well known to require more than mere
mention here. A fact that Is frequently over
looked, however, is the III effects of bad paint
which are quite as far-reaching. and are conse-
quently to be avoided
In the particular line OF goods made by the
Bridgeport Wood Finishing Company are found
many qualities which commend themselves 10
the purchaser In It's special line the policy has
not been to produce articles as good as those
made by some other manufacturer, but goods
which were better.
The products of the Bridgeport Wood Finish
ing Company are made Of strictly pure silica, ,Ns
which Is found in the form or crystaliizeo
quartz In hardness 1t Is but Few removes
from that Of the diamond
Nothing will clean and polish glass, marble,
metal and paint like slick. Thousands OF TONS
Of the slick ground by this company are used
by soapmakers for manufacturing securing
soaps, and also by manufacturers or POLISHING
powders and compounds.
WheeIer's Patent Wood Filler. another spe-
cialty of this firm, was first introduced 10 ,he
public in 1876. and its reputation mas become
worldwide. The finish OF the interior ~ooo-
work lin a train of Pullman cars, like that coIn-
posing the Chicago Limited on the pennsylvania
railroad, illustrates the value Of this article.
1t may also be seen in many of the fine pubic
buildings throughout this country, as wen as
many palaces abroad. It's Dement'S can also DE
seen In the cottage Of the laboring man. where
the pine has been finished In its natural beauty.
One of the largest and most prominent rail-
road corporations in the country, whose practice
1t Is to test all pure and compound leads each
year. has invariably found that Breinig's Lith-
ogan Lead, which is made by this company
stands better than any other composition which
ii has ever tested.
Breinig's Lithogen Scate Paints have earned
for themselves an enviable reputation. They
have been tested in the most severe climates,
and have been found to stand everything.
Owing to their covering properties they are
economical to use, and will last, when properly
applied from five to eleven years
The continued demand for hard wood has
been the means of the use of many softer woods,
and where q natural finish is not desired vari-
Gus stains have been resorted to- In the case of
hard woods. Also il is often desirable to change
the natural colors. These demands have
necesstated the use of various oil and water
stains, which the Bridgeport Wood Finishing
Company has made a speciality of manufactur
ing.
Among the other products manufactured arc
such well-known articles as Breinigs black
board paint, white Japans and dryers. white

less, telescope affajr-mere bunch Of ce-
iestial thistle-down, with star-lilSe spot
in the center-but occasionally it throws
out a short tail and becomes visible 10 the
naked eye.
But more perplexing to astronomers
than Its Protean shape is the fact that
its period is shortening. 1t seems to set
a defiance the usual rules of motion that
hold among the celestial bodies. and with
Out any assguable cause 1t has a habit of
arriving at perihelion a couple of hours
before the time set for its arrival there
by the mathematical astronomers. Its
orbit is slowly but surely growing smaller:
in fact. 1t IS falling into the sun, and
none of the astronomers can say why.
II has been suggested, however. as q
possible explanation of this behavior Of
the comet that il Is retarded in It's move
ment by some resting medium too
subtle to affect appeciably the move
ments of the massive planets, yet SUI
hcienuy dense TO produce the effect OBJ
served in the case of a body so ethereal
az comet. In default of any other
known medium the mysterious ether"
which physicians now hold to pervade all
space-the medium whose vibration gives
rise to the phenomena of light and elec-
trieity. and possibly, of gravltation-
has been charged with this interference
with the comets movement. Another
theory which of late has met with more
favor is that the retarding medium con-
sists of the countless millions of minute
meteors which are known to lie within
the limits Of the solar system and are
thought 10 be especially numerous in
the neighborhood of the sun. But a
serious obstacle in the way of both OF
these theories is that none of the other
short-period comets Is affected in the
same way This exceptional conduct OF
Encke's comet is puzzle which astron-
omers have yet to solve.

CoNvICTs or THE STATE.
Court sustains w. b. Low in His
Fight with the Mining Company.

Atlanta, Ca, May 21.-Judge J. H. Lump
kin, in Fulton Superior Court to-day. re-
fused to grant the petition of the Southern
Mining Company to compel w D. Lowe
TO turn over to that corporation certain of
the convicts leased to him by the state
prison commission.
The mining company claimed that MI
Lowe represented a syndicate in his bid
for the conVicts, but that after securing
the men he refused to deliver all of them
to the parties IN the pool tt' "fti
Mr.. Lowe took the position that he de-
hvered all the convicts he secured at the
price authorized by the syndicate, but
that others which were awarded to him
on higher individual bid We're no part
of the syndicate's claim. He, therefore,
refused to turn over these, whereupon
the mining company, which is the reor-
