LETTER TO CHARLES LANE,

Dear Sir: Most painters insist that lead
and oil Is good for three years; but they
also insist that 1t needs going oyer again
In three years. 1t is as much as to say
It's good job Of paint that lasts three
years.
Which is true; and better that lasts
six years. Lead and oil lasts three; De-
voc lead and zinc lasts six.
When paint begins to let in water,
then Is the time to repaint. 1t may be
one year; it may be ten. Lead and oil
lasts three, If well put on lead and zinc
lasts six If ground together and we'll put
on. But painters are better acquainted
with lead than with zinc. Zinc is newer. 1.
Devoe lead and zinc Is the proper mix
ture, ground in oil by machinery; same
proportions as used by the U. S. Govern
ment. Yours truly,
81 F. w. DEvOE & Co.
T. 5. A. Calhoun & Son sell our
paint in your section.

funeral of A. F. Ellsworth at Middlebury last
Saturday. The burial was at Cornwall beside
his wife, who died last September. Mr..
Ellsworth was native of this town, but most
of his married life was spent in Whiting
where he lived on nice farm and was for
many years successful breeder of Spanish
Merino sheep. He took large numbers of
sheep of his own raising to California and
made much money in those prosperous times,
but through the treachery and dishonesty of
men he supposed his friends he lost much of
what he had. He with his family moved from
Whiting in go to Cornwall, where they lived
for two years, renewing and Strengthening the
acquaintance and friendships he had already
formed with some of our people here. He

STONE WORKING METHODS.
The Use of Black Diamonds and Con-
densed Air Something New.

The Use of Black Diamonds and Con-
densed Air Something New.
Mr.. j. NJ. Stoddard, machinery expert
of Rutland, VT, who has recently become
an official of a Washington hydraulic
pump concern, isIat the Colonial, says the
Washington Post. 'Black diamonds
have come in use very largely in marble
cutting" he said last night, "and they
work with excellent effect. They are
fitted in the blades of a.rip saw and water
Is poured in the groove, the diamonds
working in the liquid. The results at
tanned are excellent, and the use of this
method is being widely adopted. The
black diamonds are expensive, though
worthless except for stone cutting and
mining. They look like small pieces of
charcoal, and have no value as ornaments.
They are very hard, but they wear down,
and men educated to handle such saws
must know how 10 turn them and also
how to set them strongly so that they
will fall out as little as possible during
the saving process. "ln working stone,
condensed air is rapidly being adapted to
many fields. The air is brought from a
NOHSSh0Si thiOuBh al OiuludTy uOsc WIFI
valve arrangement at the nozzle. This
Is fitted to the tool apparatus. The
workman holds the latter in one hand
and the valve arrangement in the other.
The tool is worked by a succession of
blows from the head of the valve. They
come like lightning and drive the tool
against the rock. The stonecutter, by
holding the valve nearer or farther from
the tool apparatus. can give the blows
greater or less force. An important use
of condensed air in this connection is in
the carving of ornamental stones for the
decoration of building fronts. 1t has
been the custom to carve these designs
before the stone was put in place. Often
in handling, the nose or ear or some
other projecting feature of the figure
was broke off, and this frequently meant
the loss of the whole stone. Now the
stone is set in the rough and carved with
condensed air tools afterward. The
workman not only gets a much more
effective tool, but by detaching the tube
from the tool apparatus can secure a cur
rent of air which blows the dust from his
work as often as he desires. Formerly the
men had to do this with their lungs, and
it gave many of them pulmonary and
throat Diseases
