implements of French excavating ma
chinery, which often stand little way
from the line Of work. though Of ex-

compared with the long trains Of huge

are now in use. This represents the1
enormous advance that has been madeI
In machinery during the past quarter

shovel shown in the picture may be
obtained by comparing it with the
