Splitting Rock With Air

From The Youths Com pdnion.
The expansive force of compressed air is
employed in a very interesting way by a
North Carolina granite company. On a
sloping hillside, composed Of granite which
shows no bed planes. but splits readily In any
direction when started. a three-inch bore is
sunk about eight feet deep, and the bottom is
enlarged by exploding half a stick Of dyna-
mite.
A small charge Of powder Is fred 10 this
hole, which starts a horizontal crack Of cleav-
age. Charges increasing in size are exploded
until the cleavage has extended over a radius
OF seventy-fve or n hundred fest. Then a
pipe Is cemented into the bore. and cir is
forced in. under n pressure of from eighty
to a hundred pounds.
The expansion Of the air extends the cleav-
age until It comes out at the surface on the
acres In extent may thus be separated.

Candle Power.

" wv ''''' tt'N's
In the German cities candle power is no longer
a measure. They laugh eat It, and In Berlin the
ordinary hshtail burners with which candle power
Is measured are as ~scarct::as hens teeth. For use
with the mantle, for the stove and the gas engine,
heating power is what is needed rather than candle
power. In London two Of the companies are now
supplying gas of less than fifteen candle power,
while here In Boston one OF the tests made last year
showed as high as twenty four candle power, and
on the sixty six tests made the average fgure was
IN. 20. High candle power gas is not only wasteful
TO bum under modern methods, but II Is actually
not 80 good for fuel and power purposes as that
with less carbon. for the carbon oloscs holes and
vents and makes more frequent cleaning necessary.
The only plants In the United Kingdom still sticking
TO high candle power are those located near the
camel coal nelds-the city OF Edinburgh being an
example. Many OF the English gas engineers told
our correspondent last summer that they hoped
and believed Parliament would adopt a twelve
candle power STANDARD In the near future. Such
a move would permit OF a reduction in the price
charged for gas and an Increased consumption
for all PURPOSES, particularly heat and power.
