A Chicago sculptor has installed in
his studio a pneumatic chisel by means
of which the work of outlining marble
statues is greatly simplified The old
method of carving with mallet and
chisel is not only laborious. but rather
awkward for the sculptor, since only
one hand is left free to guide the
chisel. In the case Of the pneumatic
chisel, both hands may be used for this
purpose. The pneumatic chisel is driven
by compressed air at a pressure of sew
enty-seven pounds per square inch OPP
Grating through a flexible tube. the air
being compressed in a large tank by
means of an electric motor. The air
passing through the tube has the effect
of driving the chisel back and forth
against the stone af IL it were hit by
mallet. The chisel, of course, is used
only to outline the statue roughly, the
finishing work all being done by hand
The pneumatic chisel can do the
=cugher work, but when Ii comes to
carving the features so they will speak
and putting the breath of immortality
into the stone. the artist must take the
mallet in his own hand. that his souI
may get closer to his work

BY the Ex-CommitteemAn

Montgomery county commissioners
have put 1t up to the State Depart
ment to decide whether Judge John
Faber Miller alone shall have his name
printed on the ballot for the general
election in November or shall be op-
posed by William F. Dannehower, who
ran second to him in the judicial pri-
maries last week. AS the commission
ers view it, Judge Miller has won a
sole nomination. Their certificate to
the State Department shows a total
vote on the judgeship of 19,157, of
which Judge Miller received 9,906, or
more than ope-half. But the return
of the commissioners will be protested
az the State Department. Dannehower
and his counsel. Charles D. McAvoy,
contend that a candidate on a non-
partisan ballot, to be entitled to run
without opposition at the general cleo
ton, must have more than one-half
of not only the votes counted by the
election officers. but more than one
half of the total number of voters
who received ballots at the primaries.

The Chamber of Commerce cannot
be expected to carry on the work of

do not fall properly within the scope
of that organization. Rather, as the

formed especially for those purposes.

that it is we'll able to carry out such a
New Years program as Mr.. Gilbert
outlines and no doubt with the en-
dorsement of the Chamber will be able
to give Harrisburg an annual event in
this line that will not only afford en-

will be for Central PENNSYLVANIA what
