To all who wish to acquire skill in

recommend the following exercise tor

from II to 16 inches long, about two
inches wide, and from one and one
half to one and three-fourths inches

and sharp-pointed pocketknife lay
out lines, as partially shown in Fig.

larged view of few teeth of a cross
cut saw, showing the form of the
teeth, not only on the handsaw, but
on all saws designed to cut across the
fibers of the wood.
AS on the ripsaw, the teeth should
be set on the extreme points only, and
when filing the file is held horizontal,
but at an angle Of about 60 degrees to
the side of saw blade.
1t is not our intention to suggest any
work for practice in the use of the
handsaw. as the correct use will be
acquired gradually while cutting out
stock for different articles as may be
required later.
In general, we would say to the oe-
ginner. do not press on or force the
saw to cut too rapidly. Hold the
saw firmly in the hand with the first
finger pressed against the side of the

RAPIDLY DWINDLINC AWAY.
The Ranks of the Grand Army of the
Republic Cannot Be
Reflled.

The recent disbanding of post of the
Grand Army of the Republic at Glouces-
ter. n. j., because of the dwindling away
of it's membership has served as vivid
reminder to many an old veteran of the
civil war that the time is not far dis
tant when the great order must pass
away.
Unlike most organizations of it's kind,
the Grand Army of the Republic cannot
be recruited from the descendants of
its original members or from any source
save one which is constantly shrinking.
None but soldiers, sailors and marines
who fought in the civil war are eligible,
and when all of this dwindling host,
survivors of conflict which ended 40
years ago. shall have answered the last
roll call no others can take their places.
The Grand Army of the Republic was
started in 1866, the first post being or
ganized at Decatur, ILL.,, in April of that
year by Maj. B. F. Stephenson and Capt.
John S. Philips. but it's growth was not
at first rapid. 1t was not until more
than ten years later that Gen. Grant be-
came member. being mustered into the
George G. Meade post, No. 1, of Phila-
delphia, by Post Commander George w
Devinny. The maximum membership
was reached in 1890, when it was 409, 4S9
For the last Is years it has been steadily
decreasing; not only this. but the rate
of decrease has steadily grown.

through the intervening years. it is 35:

of the national body had fallen to 369.

run the saw very lightly on the wood.
Should any trouble. be found in
starting the cut, first draw the saw
backward against the finger of the
left hand, which grips the block of
wood being sawed.
Much trouble is sometimes found by
beginning in starting the cut. the tend
ency being to cut too deeply into the
wood, especially if the saw is sharp.
making it hard TO begin the cut close
to the line, and often splitting off a
corner from the wood To avoid this
trouble, hold the handle of the saw
high, as shown in Fig. %, drawing the
saw backward with a pulling stroke
toward the operator, and steadying the
blade of the saw with the first finger
of the left hand This will made a
slight kerf, which can be increased by
very light pushing stroke. At each
succeeding stroke gradually lower the
handle end of the saw until a hori-

the wood, using long, steady strokes SC

but if the wood is soft, or if wet and

matters for mere conjecture. That
the mountain is burning every sense
of the visitor who gets within mile
of the place will testify.
On nearly every side of the great
hill are evidences of intense destruc-
ton. At one point tons upon tons Of
rock have tumbled into the yawning
throat of a huge crater some 800 feet
above the base of the mountain, to be
burned to finest powder in the intense
heat of an abyss of fire. A vast area
of the mountain side above the crater
is torn into flame tongued scars. The
fumes of sulphur are everywhere.
All vegetation is dead. Every few
weeks, as the combustible substances
beneath are consumed, the law Of
gravitation asserts itself and great
bodies of rock come crashing down
into the fiery furnace to be slaked and
crushed by the next succeeding con-
signment.
The cracks in the mountain side are
in some cases dozen feet across.
The heat from them is almost unbear-
able at distance of 100 feet, and it is
impossible to hold the hand in any of
| few seconds.
| At night, from below, the countless
| assures look like campfires dotting an
otherwise barren waste, but when a
view is obtained from the top of other
mountains they glow like angry in
famed wounds. Blue streaks of flame
shoot across them and vanish. Occa-
sionally there is an accumulation of
gas which ignites and fills the entire
assure with binding glare of un.
canny light, while a rumbling roar be
meath tells of another rock mass dis
lodged and tumbled into some raging
furnace still further below. A roar
ing, rushing sound not unlike the draft
of some huge house furnace is always
heard, and an everlasting mist of sui
phur smoke hangs over the whole OF
the great hill.
The Rio Grande, whose water:
flow by the mountain with quiet easy
motion, which is so seldom found in {
typical mountain stream, will eventual
" prove the end of this remarkable
phenomenon, at least this is the theor!
which is advanced by scientists wht
have made study of the strange case
When the gradual process of disin
tegration proceeds to such great length
that fire and water meet, scientists de
clare that the greatest phenomenon
even greater than the burning noun
tain itself, will take place. 1t is de
clared on authority that when the fate
full time arrives the site where tn
mountain stood will be turned into
great black hole and the terrible fore
generated by the meeting of fire an
water will cause a shower Of rocks
