LARGEST CIRCULAR SAW.
Ono in Pennsylvania Intended 10 Cut
Pine Stumps Into Shin0lo
Bolts.

The largest circular saw In the
world has Just been turned out of a
factory in Willinmsport, Pa. for use
in the lumber section of Elk county.
The saw is seven feet four inches in
diameter and wears teeth each one
of which is four inches long. The
saw weighs 305 pounds.
The purpose for which the man.
moth saw was made is of interest,
says the Philadelphia North Amer
lean. 1t will be used to cut pine
stumps into shingle bolts, thus open
ing to the market a vast quantity OF
material which until recently was
considered useless. In Elk county,
where 80 years ago the forests or
white pine were hewn down and turn
ed into lumber, there are thousands
of acres of great pine stumps as solld
as they were the day that the trees
were cut, any of these stumps stand
from five to eight feet above the
ground, so that in the swampy re-
yions of the Elk county plateaus
there are millions of feet of choice
;hingle wood. The big saw will be
installed in a mill near Straits, and
IS particular business will be to eat
nto blocks of the ponderous pine
,tumps that are TO be fed to 1t, and
It is expected to make one bite OF the
biggest morsel offered.

GLACIAL AGE NEARS END.
Force OF POnderOus Ice Fields seems
to BE DimtnishAnG Every
Year.

European engineers have been con-
graduating themselves that, although
the coal mines may fail, they have ID
the Alpine glaciers ineXhaustible
sources of energy. The melting of the
glacier ice gives rise to mountain tor
rents whose fall is being utilized more
and more, especially since the electric
transmission of power has more nearly
approached perfection. The glacier is
thus a mine of stored energy and its ice
has been somewhat pOetically termed
white COAL says Success.
But if the researches of some recent
French and German scientific men are
to be relied on the glaciers may fail us
some day, as we'll as he coal mines. 1t
appears that the glaciers, not on y of
the Alps, but also of other continental
mountain ranges, are shrinking, in
some cases imperceptibly, and in 9th
ers almost visibly. OF course this may
be only one swing of the pendulum and
continued observation may show that
it will be followed in future years by
proportionate increase, so it may be
well not to indulge in too dismal fore
bodings.

she received them all with equal gra-

especially favored one.
Finally, she heard that rich uncle
of one of her woOers had died leaving
many acres of very valuable land.
When next she met the young man she
showed quite plainly that her affec-

A SLIP OF THS TONGUE.
1t Sounded Strange, nut COnsd d erA e
the situation There Was Moth
ing Ii RemssE IL bic About It,

A matron of Mount Pleasant,
through the need of lead pencil,
furnished no end of emba rrassment
to herself and great amusement to
the pusseugers Of a Fourteen = street
car one morning lately, says the
Washington Post. She evidently had
come DOWN town, as her attire would
indicate, for the express purpose OF
shopping, and the conspicuous bag
which she carried was plainly in
tended to play an important part IN
the tour, expressing, as it were, the
matron's independence of the pleas
ure of the delivery wagons.
AS the car neared the business part
of town it became somewhat
crowded, and the conductors re-
quest to sit closer, please" had
rendered every ones discomfort
plainly apparent. Particularly true
was it to the tall, stately, we'll
groomed man who sat next to the
resident of Mount Pleasant, all of
which seemed to be her cue to begin
fumbling around in the deep bag, and
finally extracting the inevitable shop
ping list which was carefully exam
ined and again placed in the dark re-
cesses of the bag.
Then the matron suddenly thought
of something, SO again the list saw
the light of day. No, the article was
not there, and from her attitude it
must have been important and not
to be forgotten, SO the search for
the lead pencil began, during which
time the dignified gentleman had
very much more than hiS saare of
jolting, which oftener than once i'll
terrupted his review Of tie morning
paper. However he was very good
natured about it, and every time the
little woman said beg pardon his
hand endeavored to reach his hat and
his polite nod assured her that it was
granted. But the lead pencil could
not be found. Bag and pocketbook
had been turned inside out. still it
was nowhere to be seen. Wthal she
was modest little woman and
seemed to hesitate about asking the
conductor or some one near her for
a pencil. But with quick resolve
she gently touched her neighbours
arm BEG pardon" she said, may
I borrow your shoestrings? ?' OF
course there was general litter
throughout the car.
"My shoestrings, madam" said the
aristocratic looking man.
"Oh, did I say shoestrings!" ex-
claimed the little woman. ~ meant
your lead pencil; shoe strings is what
l want to add to my shopping list"
The little woman soon returned the
pencil amid bushes and thanks, and
settled back in her seat determined to
remain quiet until her destination
was reached. Then the Willard was
in sight and the stately gentleman
prepared to leave the car the con-
ductor in the meanwhile having en-
tered it.
"Good morning, senator" said the
conductor, as his passenger passed
out.
Everybody. Of course. looked at the
little woman from Mount Pleasant,
who had heard, too.
