Splitting Granite with Air

Tho expansive force of compressed
air is employed in a very interesting
way by the North Carolina Granite
company On a sloping hillside. com
posed Of granite which shows no bed
planes. but splits readily in any di.
reciion when started. a threeinch
bore is sunk about eight feet deep.
and the bottom is enlarged by ex-
pIoding a halfstick of dynamite A
small charge Of powder is fired in
this hole, which starts a horizontal
crack or cleavage. says the Youths
Companion. Charges increasing in
size are exploded until the cleavage
has extended over a radius of IS or
100 feet. Then a pipe is ccmented
into the bore. and the air is forced
in. under pressure of from 50 to
100 pounds The expansion of the
air extends the cleavage until il
comes out on the surface on the slope
of the hill A horizontal sheet of
granite several acres In extent may
thus be separated.

FOOT-POWER HAMMER.
Blow of the Hammer Is Accomplished
by the Presence of a Lever.

Two Kansas inventors arriving at
the conclusion that there is more pow
er in the leg than in the arm, have
applied the principle to the hammer.
Instead Of swinging the hammer over
the head, the blow is accomplished
by the pressure of a foot lever Per.
haps the most significant part Of the
invention is the fact that only or
binary pressure is required to re-
lease the hammer, strong springs reg
ulating the force of the blow An ad-
ditional advantage is that the ham
mer can be swung literally to strike
upon different portions OF the face
Of the anvil BY referring to the il
lustration the operation will be OBJ
vous The hammer is attached to a
specially formed handle, the latter
being piyotally mounted upon the
base. which stands directly in back
of the anvil. At the right side of
the anvil is the treadle, which ex-
tends backward to the base, to which
it Is pivoted. An iron chain connects
with the shaft at the top of the base
and the treadle, and when pressure
is applied to the treadle it is trans
mitted to the shaft, and by a reverse
action Of the mechanism the ham
mer descends. When the treade is

A LOCOMOTIVE TIRE.
Use Which Some Towns Make OF
Them When Worn Out.

In many of the smaller cities where
an electric fire alarm has not yet been
installed, vermont or cracked tires
from the driving wheels of locomotives
are used in place of fire bells. The
cost is less, the sound is very pGne-
trating and is unlike bell. For many
years Marengo H., used one of these
tires before alarm boxes were put in.

sketch which will indicate the manner

of erecting the tower, which in this
case was on top the fire-engine house.
The tire was hung by an iron ring
from a cross piece, but some towns
erect a 20 or 30-foot tower on the
ground. The striker has an iron ball
at each end with two wires passing
down to the ground floor, one of which
Is grasped by each hand. by this
means more rapid strokes can be

London is the battle-ground of these two factions. The Americans. how
 ever, are steadily gaining and invading
 the enemys camp. American GUS toms in entertaining get firmer footing every season. Ten years ago the American fashion of smart dinners, especially on Sunday nights. at splen-
 did cafes. with music and flowers. was
 unknown in London. Today it is ram
 pant and there are not less than dozen superb London hotels where
 these dinners are the great feature, | Another evolution is the dance for | young girls alone. It was inaugurated 1 over a decade ago by the young un-
 married daughter of Lord Rosebery,
 and was a screaming success. Of | course there was an outcry from the | reactionaries, but the girls and men | found it q charming change from the l dullness of the typical English ball
 and the custom has come to stay.
 | Another American innovation In | English society is a boon both 10 | health and comfort. This is the rash- | ion Of wearing gay little bodices, made

A Killing at
 Dragoon Last Night

Tie sheritf's office today received the neHs of killing that occurred at Dragoon Summit last night. A Mexican whose name was not learned was killed by Freight Conductor Yancy. An inquest was held this morning and the conductor exhonor- ated, the jury returning a verdict of justitiable homicide The particulars as learned are to the effect that the
 ex:can was drunk and abusive. He attacked several of the train crew and without any cause attempted to as- sault the conductor with an ugly looking Bowie knife. The conductor in self defense pulled his six shooter and firing one shot killed hIs assail- ant in his tracks. The bullet enter ed the heart causing instant death.
