EXPENSIVE SAWS
Have Diamond Pointed Teeth and Are
Used in Cutting Slabs
of Slate.

Probably the most expensive saws in
use anywhere in the world are those in
the factories of Pennsylvania, where
articles are manufactured of slate. In
one OF these factories there are 300 hori-
zontal saws, IL feet in length, each OF
which is furnished with rs cutting dia-
monds, each saw being worth $4,000.
The slate land which furnishes the ma
terlal Tor these costly saws to work
upon was once so little valued that the
tract upon which the famous Chapman
quarry in Pennsylvania is situated was
sold for pint of whisky. It's subsequent
owners have taken millions of dollars
from the land.
The most valuable slate deposits in
the world are found in the central part
of the state. In the neighborhood of
the Pennsylvania quarries there are
houses whose walls are entirely of slate.
The blocks of which they are made are
smoothly sawed, and are most substan.
tial
When slate is blasted in the quarries
the rough slabs are taken to the shanties
of the "splitters." The stone forms nat.
urally the layers. and the Splitter
following the grain, or ribbon" with
his large chisel, separates the blocks
into strips. Then these strips are
passed through trimming machine,
where. by blows of a heavy knife, they
are cut into rectangular Shingles
ready to be used for roofing purposes.
When slate is cut up for use in other
ways the procedure differs The huge
horizontal saw, with its scores of dia-
monds, is called into play; it is lowered
upon one of the blocks of slate by
ratchet. The workmen play a stream
Of water upon the slate to keep it cool,
and wash the dust from the cut. After
saving the block is planed by being
moved back and forth by machinery un-
der a f1rmly-iXed chisel. 1t is after
ward polished much as marble and gran
lite are. The value of the slate quar-.
ries run into the millions.

Jupiter's Atmosphere.

Owing to the high gravitation. the
atmosphere of such planets as Jupiter
and Saturn is very dense, and so loaded
with Opaque particles that we cannot
see through it to the body of the planet
within. But though the body is be-
yond our scrutiny we can infer that it
is very hot, even at the surface; for
If the solar system is formed las is as

heat of condensation must be proper

q large world than in a small one. Thus.
for the purpose of life on these great

CARS COOLED BY AIR.
Have Compressors That Are Driven
by the Motion af the Wheels
fn Transit.

In recent years there have been vast
Improvements In the methods OF reirIg-
Grazing railway cars for the transporta-
ton OF perishable goods, such as fruits,
vegetables, eggs and meats. The ire
quent icing OF retrigerating cars en-
route constitutes one of the largest items
OF expense in the handling OF perish
able freight. Whenever trans carrying
q refrigeraIing car arrive at certain
designated stations they are halted for
the reflliing of the ice chests of the cold
storage cars.
A Philadelphia inventor conceived the
idea Of applying mechanical refrigera-
ton to such railroad cars, depending
upon the car axles to furnish the neces-
sary power Tor compression purposes.
InasnIuch as Thanksgiving systems in
Vulnerable have been devised, and prac-
tically operated on this principle, it is
only a question of mechanical details
to similarly operate refrigerating sys-
tenn. The sides of the cars are lined
with refrigerating coils containing COM
pressed carbonic acid gas or carbonic
dioxide. A tank carried on the roof
of the car supplies water for the con-
dens1ng purposes, its effectiveness being
enhanced by the use of an absorbent
covering for the condensing pipes. The
problem of furnishing a reservoir of
cooled material to supply the necessary
cooling while the car is at a standstill
on side tracks or at terminals or wait
Ing on belt lines has been solved by the
use of brine-filIed tanks located at the
ends OF the cars.
The expansion coils are immersed in
these brine baths, reducing the tempera-
ture of the brine sufficiently so that the
radiation from the tank into the car
maintains the car at the temperature
desired. the capacity of the compress
or being sufficient to furnish a sur
plus of refrigeration beyond that neces-
sary for the maintenance of a proper
temperature while the car is in motion.
An automatically superintendent
ing door is also embraced in the inven-
ton. Its function is to prevent the car
from attaining too low a temperature,
which in the handling of some classes
OF goods, notably fruits, would be as
fatal as too high a temperature This
door opens into the atmosphere at
predetermined temperature, through
the medium of a thermostat, automat-
tcally closing again whenever the tenn
perature has risen to the proper point

A short time ago, by request, Uncle
Isaac came to Waco and sat for his pic
ture. In his hand he held a stick cut
from the grave of General Andrew Jack
son, which has been carried by him ever
since. Mr.. Brock is a dignified old gen.
tleman, showing few signs Of decrepi-
tude. His family Bible is still preserved.
and it shows that the date Of his birth
was written lis years ago.
Surely few words from this remarka-
bic old gentleman, who has had 115 years
of experience to draw from. would be
interesting as well as profitable. A
lengthy biographical sketch is given of
this remarkable old man in the Waco
Times-Herald, December +, 1898. A still
more pretentious biography of this, thu
oldest living man, illustrated with a
double column portrait, was given the
readers Of the Dallas Morning News,
dated December IL, 1898, and also the
Chicago Times-Herald of same date

Beat the Insurance Company.

Ten years ago Fitch Marquis left his
family in Kansas and had never been
heard Of until the other day, when he
turned up at LaCygne. He refused to
say where he had been. His wife
thought him dead and sued for ST.
900 life insurance policy he carried.
The court decided she should pay the
premiums for seven years and If he
did not show up that he would be
counted as dead in this world. The
widow paid the premiums and at the
end of seven years drew her money,
but Marquis is not dead.
