WITH AIR TOOLS.
Up-tO-Dats Machines Used to Carve
Blocks Of Granite.

BLOCKS OF
An industry in which pneumatic
tools bid fair to effect a revolution is
the working of granite. Up till a
few years ago, says the Sphere, the
granite tombstones which II to be
seen in every cemetery and the elab-
orately carved granite blocks which
are now so popular for the fronts Of
banks and public houses, were
dressed by hand with a hammer and
chisel in much the same way as we
may suppose the Egyptians carved
the Sphinx. Now a Jet Of air is dOing
the mason's work, and, instead of
expanding much time and muscle on
his task, the workman has simply to
guide the pneumatic chisel over the
surface Of the stone.
The saving in manual labor is very
great. The work is done more rap
idly and more cheaply by these tools
han by hand, and, it might also be
said, more efficiently, for a pneumat-
ic chisel can be operated in recesses
and out-Of-the-way places in which
there would not be room to strike a
blow with an ordinary hammer. Alb
erdeen is the center of the granite in
dustry in this country, and there is
no granite working establishment
there of any consequence which has
not an equipment of pneumatic
tools. The heart of a pneumatic
plant is the compressor, or pump,
which forces the air into a large tank
or reservoir. From this central
point the air is conveyed in pipes to
all parts of the works, and the con-
nection with the actual tool is made
with a length of india-rubber hose,
so that the workman can move the
apparatus from place to place.
Where a workman would have had
a hammer and a chisel in his hands,
now he has a pneumatic chisel, and
he has simply to direct it in the re-
quired position. The number of
blows that a tool like this strikes is
marvellous. The jet of compressed
air operates a piston, to which either
a hammer or a chisel can be at
tached, and the admission Of the air
can be so regulated by valves as to
give anything from 1900 to $4,000
strokes a minute.
As might be supposed, the vibra-
ton caused by such rapid movement
as this is very great. A visitor to a
granite yard is generally given one
Of these pneumatic tools to hold and
unless he grips it tight it is apt to
Jump out of his hand. One would
think that the constant use of such
tools would iniure the workman's
arms and lad to cramps. So far.
however, there have been no instan-
ces Of this.

ENGLISH TOWNS ARE GROWING
Marvellous Expansion of Certain Mu-
inequalities in Last Half Century.

A government blue-book, just is
sued in England, publishes summary
tables of the census of 1901, which
furnish striking evidence of the
manner in which even the smaller
towns have been developed during
the last half-century at the expense
of the rural districts. Thus, says the
New York Post, Barrow-in-Furness,
which numbered only 1000 inhabit-
ants in 1851, has now more than 81
600; Bradford has risen from 1000
to more than $4,000; West Hartle-
pood from 1000 to $4,000; and
Rhondda from 1000 to 113, 900. But
the growth Of new towns in the
neighborhood of London, practically
extensions of the metropolis, is still
more striking. East Ham has grown
from a village of 2 1000 inhabitants to
a community OF 10000, the greatest
part of this increase having taken
place in the last ten years; West Ham
has been swollen from 10000 inhab-
itants to $4,000; Walthamstow has
increased from 4,7O0 to 5000; Tot
tenham, from 1000 to 1O2, 900; Ley
ton from 1000 to $4,000. The steady
outward pressure Of London is
shown, too, at Croydon and Willes-
den, where in each added case more
than 100 $1,000 persons have been
added to the population since 1851.
The population of London proper
(the administrative county, has al
most doubled in the same period. On
the other hand, the population of the
rural districts continues to decline or
remain almost stationary. Here
fcrsdshire and Shropshire have lost
10000 each in the last quarter Of a
century. In many counties the excess
Of births over deaths is almost exact
ly neutralized by migration.

A Steamers Mail Matter.

1t was a colossal amount Of mail
matter that the Teutonic took into
port at New York on a recentvoyage.
There we're 527,27O letters alone.
Allowing five inches as the average
length of each envelope, this collec-
tion would make a single string end
to end of S19,695 feet, or more than
40 miles. The $40 bags Of second
class mail matter would make a col
umn exactly $40 feet high, allowing
one foot as the thickness Of each bag.
This enormous mass was transferred
from the steamer to the mail-bOat BIZ
20 men in just 80 minutes.

HOt Baths.

To many it will cause surprise to
learn that hot baths are prescribed as
more inyigorating han the cold
plunge. A German physician who
advocates the system explains that
the water should be at a temperature
in the beginning of 1OS degrees
Fahrenheit, this to be increased un-
til the water is as hot as can be borne.
The duration of the first bath should
not be more than five minutes, and at
no time should it be longer than is
agreeable with no sense Of discom-
fort apparent. He defends his theory
BY citing the practice common
among Japanese fighters.

Pictures Which Were Taken on Wsxed
Paper Fifty Years AGO.

ape AA~y ANGe hbNt
A collection Of early New York
photographs shown in lantern slides
at the New York Historical society
was of peculiar interest, not alone
from the nature of the subjects, but
because the pictures were taken
upon waxed paper negatives so years
ago, says the New York Times. The
slides were made from the original
negatives taken by Victor Provost,
one Of the pioneersin photography,
who had a studio for many years on
Broadway. The majority Of the
views were taken from 1859 to 1854,
The negatives were but recently dis
covered, and are now owned by W. l.
Scandlin, of Brooklyn, who gave a
brief lecture upon the views.
This collection, which numbers in
all about 200 negatives Of various
sizes, some being over 10 inches
square, is the largest of its kind in ex-
istence. The Smithsonian institu-
ton in its Photographic collection
has but 20 waxed paper negatives,
and the Photographic department Of
Columbia university, which has one
of the best collections in the country,
has barely half a dozen of these
early examples of the days when pho
Biography was beginning to superSede
the more difficult process of daguer-
reotypes.
Among the New York views of 50
years ago which were shown upon
the screen were two of Columbia uni
versity when, as a college, it occu-
pied a large plot of ground at Park
place and Church street. One Of
these pictures showed the east wing
Of the old college hall, with vener-
able trees bordering the walk, while
the other was that of President
Kings house. Others showed the
old New York Society Library build.
