TAFT AND THE BOY SCOUTS.

The boy scouts of Mount Washing
ton are building the first scout arm
ory in America. 1t is to be a beauti-
ful camp deep in the primeval wild
eTness of our oldest suburb and pitch
ed by the side of the raging waters
of Western run, where, far from the
madding crowd, the little courriers
des bois will assemble their trophies
and gather round the fire to recount
their deeds of heroism and manly
gallantry. The fact that this camp
will have anything so modern as a
swimming pool, gymnasium and Ii
brary, not to mention a large play
ground for the little birls, only
shows that scout life has made some
progress since the days when the
aborigines of Mount Washington
carried tomahawks and eagle feath-
ers
Readers of the Sun will have noted
with interest the reports of the audi
ence which President Taft gave to a
delegation of the scouts who called
on him last week to invite him to be
present at the dedication of their
new home next month and to partake
on that occasion of the hardy camp
fare of scout life. The President,
who is head of the Boy Scouts of
America, gave his fellow-scouts of
Mount Washington a very cordial
reception, and there is every reason
to believe that he will on this aus
picious occasion honor Baltimore
with his presence, as may also Mr.
Roosevelt. Both of these men, like
all big men, still have much of the
small boy in them, and nothing could
appal to them more strongly than
such an opportunity to fraternize on
basis of scout equality with these
little men; and certainly nothing
could appeal more strongly to the
Imagination of the country than to
see its Chief Magistrate take off
few valuable hours to do honor to
the small boys of the nation. This
boy scout movement has literally
swept England and America, and
tens of thousands of lads are learning
the lessons of field and fellowship.
The whole movement for outdoor
life as expressed in the efforts for
better Fairgrounds for the little ones
in the cities, for better athletic ia
cilities everywhere, for trips afoot
and afield and for suburban and
country life generally, is worthy of
every encouragement, and we hope
the President Will take advantage of
the occasion at Mount Washington
to help along the cause. His pres
ence and the few words he might
there care to say, telegraphed over all
the world, are bound to win a re-
sponse and do lasting good wherever

An appeal to the pride
of the owner Of a home


Everyone who owns a home is
anxious that that home shall make
the beat appearance possible. Two
things ere necessary to produce salts
factory results in painting and var
nishing a home:
First-A satisfactory color scheme.
Second-Paipis, varnishes, stains
and enamels of such good quality that
they not only give the exact color
effect required, but are sufficiently
durable to keep up the attractive ap-
pearance of the house in spite of the
wear and tear of living in it.
These are offered by the Sherwin-
Williams Paints and YQrnishes. The
observation-disclosures Co. not only make
every kind of paint and varnish used
for a house and the best quality of
that kind, but they make suggestions

painting and vanishing you want
done, that observation-disclosures Paints

a hearty welcome awaiting them as

THE CORE DRILL.
Operation Of Machine at the Granite
Quarries in Quincy.

The working OF the core drill' in the
granite quarries at Quincy, Mass, is
told by The Ledger Of that city as fol
lows:
A machine that is attracting much at
tention is at work at what is known
as the Berry quarry, owned by j. S.
Swingle, known far and wide TO the
trade as the extra dark man" The
machine in question is what is known
as core drill, and is being used at the
Berry quarry to ascertain what the
strata of the granite is below the sur
face.
The Berry quarry has always been
called medium colored stock, but Mr..
Swingle believes that way down below
the surface there is an extra dark gran
ite which is the kind that is now in
great demand.
The machine was brought over from
New York last week. and set up in
the quarry, and is working every day.
1t is the intention of Mr. Swiugle to
90 to q depth OF 200 feet if not deeper.

derful one, for it takes out core three
and a quarter inches in diameter, in
the shape OF column, Up to the pres.
ent time the machine has taken out a
core to the depth of over seventeen feet,
and as vet no seam has been encoun-
tered, and the granite is clear and en-
tirely free from knots, showing that
down deep there is an almost inexhaus.
tible supply of granite of superior
quality.
The method of drilling the core is
an interesting one. Many such ma
chimes are used in the mines in the West
to make boring, and there they are
called diamond drills. In this case small
steel shot. similar to that used on pol
ishing wheels, is used.
A steel tube three and one shalt inches
in diameter, resembling a water pipe,
is fastened to the end of shaft. and
made to revolve at a rapid rate. Into
this pipe the small steel shot is poured
and the rapid revolving of the shaft
causes the core to be cut which comes
mp through the pipe as it gradually goes
downward. The man in attendance at
the machine with a lever, forces the pipe
downward as the core is cut
AZ the present time. owing to the
smallness of the special horizontal boil
or, that has been set up to furnish
steam. being too small. il is not pos
sible to run the machine continuously.
occasional waits are necessary TO get
