WINDOWS OF SLICED STONE.
PROF. DWIGHT KNOWS HOW TO CUT
1T THY ENOUGH FOR TAPESTRY.
A Piece of Tin Does the Trick, but the
Edges of the Curious Contrivance
Charged With Diamond Dust
Value If This Machinery.

Professor William B. Dwight. of Vas
sar college, has invented a machine that
will slice rock so thin that II can be used
for 4 window tapestry. This feat is accom-
plisEed by means of a series of tin disks
with edges charged with diamond dust.
The machine will cut fossils or rock Of
any description 30 thin that one may see
through it as easily as through the glass in
a window. To such a degree of nicely Is
the machine regulated that 1t will cut
the most brittle rock to the thickness Of
one-flftieth of an inch.
trive a machine which should be of as
sistance to the paleontologist In enabling
him to distinguish the minor points of
his objects Of investigation. which under
former conditions was impossible. Never
theless. while the machine, as stated. was
intended for the most delicate and ac-
curate work. 1t embodies Improvements
that are applicable generally to stone saw
ing or cutting machines as well as to ma
chimes for cutting other substances in
which what are known as discoidal cut
tiers are employed. either single or in a
gang.
One of the chief difficulties of the miner
thoroughly the grain of rock. It Is often
the case that the points of greatest value
are shown upon the rocks surface. and
the investigator breaks it with his hammer.
This. however. he does at the risk OF de-
stroying a choice specimen. A machine
therefore. that permits him to remove its

of a hair triples his opportunities of dis
covery. and makes possible an exami-
nation OF a rock specimen closer than has
hitherto been possible.
1t has long been known, also. that var
ious varieties of stone develop unexpected
beauty as their thickness is lessened-
been made which revealed new and
somewhat startling facts. The structure
of various rocks has been displayed with
a nicely of details never before dreamed
of. Rock formation shows periods of the
history of the world.
Coming to the more practical and every
day side of the question, the value of tho
machine to the worker in stone is ines
timable. One great advantage of Professor
Dwight's invention is that there is not the
slightest anger Of his machine causing
a stone or other substance to crack
which cannot be said of other inventions
for the purpose of cutting stone into Sec
TONS Not only does 1t remedy this fault,
but it enables one almost to carve out
a stone in any desired form, provided the
carver be an expert. 1t guarantees a
smGothness of work and a correctness
of line that have heretofore been Utmost
impossible to secure.
In appearance. the instrument looks like
a combination of sewing machine and
lathe, 1t Is a quite complex. and looks
effective even to the eye of a layman. The
machine also bears a distinction which
very few inventions can boast Oft IN
no way interferes with labor nor does it
even in the slightest degree lessen the OPP
%portunity for willing hands to toll.

SHE SMOKED CIGARETTES.



MIDVALE, Neb., October AT the al
tar Harry keldar refused 10 marry Miss
Genevieve Ransom because he smelled
cigarette smoke on her breath. Like
many another society girl Miss Ransom
used to indulge in the practice of smok-
ing occasionally with her girl friends.
Keldar discovered the fact some time be-
fore the date set for the wedding, and
said he couldn't stand it. SO Miss Ran
som promised to smoke no more.
But shortly before the hour set for the
marriage ceremony one of the brides
maids offered her cigarette. The young
lady couldn't resist, so she smoked just
once more. A few minutes later she
stood beside the bridegroom in her par
ents' drawing room. The house was filed
with guests. AS the clergyman COM
menced the ceremony, Ke!dar shifted sus-
piciously. Then he leaned forward with
his face close to the brides. You've
been smoking again!" he exclaimed
Miss Ransom vouchsafed no reply. With
out another word Keldar turned and
walked out of the house. The bride
tainted. The bridegroom's friends hur-
rled out TO bring him back. But Keldar
wouldn't go Nor would Miss Ransom
have accepted him had he changed his
mind The match has been declared off
and Keldar is preparing to leave town.

He said the party that got out its vote

no other way with better results.

SOMETHING ABOUT THE AUTHOR.

Alice Williamson has made a great
reputation among the younger genera
ton OF novelists. Born in 1869 at one
Of the Livingstone Manor Houses on
the Hudson River, for she was Miss
Livingstone, she commenced to weave
romances before she could hardly
write OF her very youthful efforts
mono has ever seen the light in print
but when she was only fifteen her first
short story was published. Even then
she did not embark upon the profess
sion of literature seriously. Going
over to England for stay of six or, at
the longest, twelve months, She be-
came engaged to Mr.. Williamson a
well-knowa personality in the Journal
istic word, and was shortly after
wards married Almost directly after
her marriage about four years ago,
she recommended her literary labors.
Her first efforts were in the direction
of character sketches which were done
with the vigor and the power of
graphic narration which have so
charmed the readers Of her later stor-
les Then Mrs. Williamson embarked
upon a more arduous undertaking OF
a serial story for Messrs. Harms
worth. The story was a complete
success, and having found her particu-
lar bent" Mrs. Williamson has pro-
gressed, adding many other successful
stories to her initial venture as a
novelist.
