WONDERS OF ELECTRICITY.
Cutting and Carving Marble and
Granite by Its Use.

1t seems the wonders of electricity will
never cease. This ia indeed the electrical
age. And the marvels connected with it
are still in their infancy. Scarcely day
passes but what we hear of some new
purpose to which it is being put. The
latest is the Ajax electric machine for
cutting and carving marble and granite,
the first one to arrive in the state Of
Washington having been installed last
Monday by the d. Millgard & Co. marble
works Of Colfax. 1t is truly a wonder.
A representative OF The Gazette could
not Withstand the temptation Of asking
to see the machine work, and was kindly
permitted by Mr.. Millgard to examine it
critically and watch all the movements
in cutting marble and granite. A 60
cycle motor mas been installed. A little
driving rod in the tool strikes the ham
mer, and revOlves it at the rate of 36OG
blows per minute. 1t easily does the
work of three men. With it marble and
granite can be hewn into any shape.
The rapidity with which lettering is cut
is something to contemplate. Tue man
with mallet and chisel in hand, pound
ing all day and wearing his strength
away, will soon be thing of the past.
The Ajax does the work much better.
With it the most delicate tracery is
made; flowers and figures appear on
stone as if by magic. and all the work Of
the sculptor is done by the machine,
guided by the intelligent hand of the
operator. Pbdias, the great Grecian
sculptor, should have lived in this age.
His work, great as it was, would have
been greater. Messrs. Millgard & Co
are to be congratulated on this latest
addition to their works, one which is a
mile stone in the history OF Colfax.

remainder of the season. Shortly be-
fore their departure Professor Land
field had returned from trip to Mex
leo and had become interested in that
picturesque country, but Mrs. Land
field was unable to accompany him on
the trip, since she was convalescent
during that time from the illness which
kept her confined to her room during
the latter part of the winter. She has
fully recovered, however. and the cou-
pie have had a pleasant sojourn in the
east. They will pass most OF the time

they have many friends.

given by her friends in the German
city and expects to remain for several
delightful months before going to
Paris. and will not visit London until
the late season.
The trip abroad which the c. O. G.
Millers have postponed once or twice
has been definitely settled for this
summer, and the family will leave
early next month for the east and
Europe. Miss Marian Miller has been
visiting at Ross as the guest of Miss
Laura Baldwin, but will be home with
in few days to make her final prepa :
rauons for the delightful journey,
which will be extended through the
summer months, and will only inter-
vene between seasons, since Mrs Miller
and her attractive daughter expect to
be home for the sayeties next winter.
