How Stone is Sliced.

The manner in which thin slices Of
jasper, trap, granite, gneiss, basalt,
diorite, syenfte, marble limestone.
onyx, jade, and hornstone are obtained
is very curious. First of all, the opera
tor cuts a thin slice from the side of
piece of granite, or other hard stone,
about the twentieth part of an inch
in thickness, by means of a steel wire
covered with emery-dust This, how
ever, is not thin enough for study and
investigation purposes, and so it pass
es to another operator who grinds it
down to about the SEVENTEEN part of
an inch in thickness upon a revolving
metal disc covered with emery powder
and corundum. From mis- hands it
passes to a third who grinds it down
to the requisite thinness and transpar-
ency upon a series of revolving metal
and leather discs. these again being
sprinkled with emery-powder, corun-
dun, and preparation of tin.
It is a very delicate operation, AMI
enc must know just the instant to
cease grinding in order to avoid de-
stroying the thin sheet, which is as
fragile and delicate as a piece Of gold
leaf. From the grinding disc the leaf
is lifted and imposed upon a small
pane of glass over which some gum.
balsam has been rubbed, and which
serves to hold the sheet in place. In
this state it is ready for the geologist.

New York Evening Post.
The work undertaken six months ago by
the Denver Young Mems Christian Assoc
citation In establishing health farm of
ninety-fOur acres, where young men may
earn, or partly earn, their living expenses
while strengthening weak lungs, appears
to promise well. In a review OF the ex-
pertinent, the Colorado State Journal points
to some excellent results accomplished since
the farm was acquired in April, and gives
space to an appeal for additional endow-
Tnent from General Secretary Danner of
Denver. Young men who, in the opinion Of
physicians, can be benefited are taken at
the farm, housed in tents, and encouraged
of doors as possible. The cost of provid-
ing for a resident is s25 month, and the
opportunity is offered to pay this in labor
on the farm. But at first, in the case of
the average young man from the East, the
work must be very light. 1t is for help in
making UP the difference between the earn
ing power OF the residents and the cost
of giving them wholesome food and clean
lodgings that the association appeals. The
managers of the farm believe that in no
place in the world are conditions more IA
vorable for the successful application of
the open-air treatment than in Colorado.

Ex-QUEEN ISABELLA.
She Lives Near Paris and Still Takes
an Interest In life.

Emily CraW1OruS Letter.
Isabella used to be of elephantine stout
ness, but she shrunk into a withered old
woman, not half the size of her former self.
She used to go in summer to Schlangenbad
or Brides-les- Bains in Savoy, or to stay
with her daughter, Princess Louise Ferdi-
mand of Bavaria. In the Bavarlan high
lands, or near Munich. But railway trav-
cling now fatigues her, and she has also
taken to her motor car, which brings her
chateau within three-quarters of an hour
of the PalaiS de Castillo, where she resides
when in Paris. Isabellas dream used to
be to enjoy perpetual freshness of senti-
ment. and she had her wish up to the time
the United States and Spain went to war.
The loss of Cuba and the Philippines broke
her down. She blames Chritina. who. to
save money, quartered lot of people who
had claims her for pensions on Cuba,
which they bled. The ex-regent in other
ways mismanaged things there, and finally
in her ignorance of the resources of the
United States allowed herself to be hurried
into a declaration of war with IL. Isabella
had shrewdness and rare mother wit. She
understood the queenlinesS Of friendly man
ners. If she visited Spanish factory she
asked the owner to present all the opera
tives to her, and held kind of levee at
which she had an agreeable word for each.
l remember hearing from Spanish naval
officer that when he stayed at some Basque
bathing place in 1868, she went on board
"a Spanish man-of-war out I'm the bay. The
navy at the time had entered into the con-
spiracy which broke out shortly after at
Cadz at the bidding of the Duke de Mont
pensier, Jsabella's rival, as husband of her
sister. The captain of the vessel happened
to be in the plot He thought that If he
took the queen into custody and brought
her a prisoner to Cadiz he might dserve

how penetrated his design and engaged
with him in lively conversation. He said to
her as they chatted: What would your
majesty say were L to arrest your?
Nothing. The horror at Spanish naval
officer doing anything so ungentlemanly
would strike me dumb. Your countenance
is too open for tratorous thought TO Turk
