splendid proof Of his powers as ma

Mr.. Shaw was particularly happy in
his spiritualist tricks, when he with
his assistant successfully accomplish

to the Spirits" in spiritualist exhi-

place, thus releasing one end of the
blade. This free end is thrust through
hole, previously bored, in the part
of the wood to be sawed out. The pin
is replaced through the frame and the
end OF the blade, the cord is frightened,
and the saving proceeds the same as
on an outside curve. When the cut is
finished the saw is removed from the
opening in the same way.
This bow saw is indispensable in the
workroom, there being no other way
by which curves can be sawed by hand.
The blades are inexpensive, but those
which are very thin and having at
least IL points to the inch should be
selected
Foot Power Saw.
For all who can afford the cost we
would recommend foot power scroll
saw, like or similar to that shown in
Fig. 81. Such a saving machine can
be used not only for cutting curves,
but also for saving out stock of any
kind, straight or curved, up to three
inches in thickness.
Planes.
Among the different tools of the
woodworker none fills more impor-
tant place than the plane. The iron
planes. one of which is illustrated in
Fig. %, are greatly to be preferred to
the old-style wooden plane of former
days. These iron planes can be
bought in many sizes and at very mod
srate prices. They all work on the

Over two thousand dollars worth of
stock has been subscribed and
number of others are waiting until
the company has more definitely set
tied upon its policy and procedure,
when they intend to take stock.
Most of the stockholders have taken
but one share each, but as soon ~
the company gets down to business
they will doubtless increase their
holdings as one share of stock in an
enterprise of this sort will mean less
than two acres of land, and of course
a small amounh like that will not

much of business of arid farming.
