The Men and Women Most Needed.

To live and be supplied with motiv pow

some kind of visible, tangible success,

MODERN MARBLE ouARRYINc.
The Great Waste Accompanying italian
Methods Avoided by Those In Vogue In
Narnoont

Italy, which has been producing ma.
| terial for statuary and other sculptureC
| forms in marble for centuries, contains
| over 500 quarries, but to this day the
masses of white are secured almost en-.
| tirely by the use Of explosives. For this
reason much of the marble is wasted and
many of the most valuable deposits are
50 covered with debris from blasting that
the cost of removing the waste material
is greater than the value of the marble
Itself. a better way has been found in
this country
From little stream which flows
through southwestern Vermont comes
most of the power which is utilized in
this industry. Fortunately, it passes
through the locality which contains some
of the principal beds. This water power
is employed to saw the marble as it comes
from the quarries into suitable blocks,
while an electric current. generated from
it, furnishes power to transport the mar
bic from place to place and to drive the
mechanism which removes 1t from the
beds. From some of these pits blocks
have been taken for over twenty-five
years, and the bottom layer is nearly 300
feet from the surface. Some of the I'M
derground chambers have their ceilings,
sides and floors of marble.
In modern marble quarrying, as per-
formed i'm Vermont, what is known as a
channellng machine is used, which is OPP
Grated by electric or steam power 1t is
placed upon the top of the marble bed and
punches a hole, from four to twelve feet
i'm depth. by means of a series of chisels
which are clamped together so as to form
one cutting tool When the chisels have
reached the depth required, the machine
is moved forward on it's temporary track.
In this way the bed is blocked out" as
1t might be said, in parallel cuts extend
ing from side to side. These are divided
into the length required by steam and
pneumatic drills. which bore a series of
holes. after which the block can easily be
detached by n kind of wedge which is
driven into the bottom. In this manner
the marble may be removed from a de-
posit hundred feet square and a hun
dred feet In depth with practically no
waste, leaving such n formation that
the sides Of the quarry appear as II built
of blocks of marble regularly laid. The
channellng machines require about twelve
horse power, and cut from fifty to one
hundred square feet of marble every ten
hours It is due to their use that one
company alone quarries enough material
every month to erect a large Office build
ing as its output is no less than 5000 tons.
Some of the largest electric cranes in
tho world are used in handling the blocks
of marble. owing to their great weight
for they range as high as twenty-five and
thirty tons. At West Rutland. Vt. where
the largest quarres are located. is a crane
which has total lifting capacity of fifty
tons. 1t is provided with two trolies of
twenty-five horsepower each. and each
trolley is equipped with a twenty horse
power hosting machine.-[The World
