SAVING GRANITE ROCKS.
Steel Wires and Sand and Mater Are
the Apparatus Used.

Steel Wires and Sand and Mater Are
the Apparatus Used.
Stone is still sawed by hand, even in
great cities, where the latest appliances
of the mechanical art are to be found.
Yet the mechanical saving Of rock is
at least sixteen centuries old and in
recent years has reached a stage of
perfection.
The idea of using a metal cord and
mixture of sand and water for saw
ing stone was patented by Eugene
Chevallier in France in 1854. His APP
paratus, with scarcely any change. was
used not long ago in cutting trench
through the Point Neuf, in Paris.
The principle upon which the me-
.chanical stone saw works is described
biz Victor Raynouard in La Science ct
la Vie as follows:
An endless rope composed Of three
steel wires twisted together is set In
movement and draws with it grind
ing granular substance. pressing this
hard upon the stone that is to be
sawed. The mordant substance is grit
mixed with water. The stream or wa
ter renders the movement easy and
prevents the heating Of the cable. The
ends Of the cable are Joined by splic-
ing.
The hardest rocks, such as porphyry,
are now sawed more easily than the
softer, such as marble, but not SO rap
idly. Marble is sawed at the rate sc1
nearly nine inches an hour, granite al
from six 10 seven inches an hour.

A PLOW THAT RANG TRUE.

II Likewise Proved Its Quality to tire
Ruenos Aires Buyers.
In Bnenos Aires few years ago an
American salesman of plows wished
to demonstrate to a local customer the
superiority of his goods over that OF
German competitor, The American
consul arranged for the test.
The German plows proved to be al
most exact duplicates OF the An "rtcan
implement In design and rather cter
in finish. Wasting no time In explana-
ton. the American salesman called
over a powerful peon and ordered him
to swing with all his strength with a
ten pound sledge upon the share of
one of the American plows.
The husky Basque spat upon his
hands. hunched his muscular shout
ders. swung the heavy hammer in a
wide circle and brought 1t down on
the spot indicated. A note as clear
as that of a bell rang out and the
plow went bounding across the floor.

hammer head the share was unmark-
ed. When the operation was repeat
ed upon one Of the German imple-
ments the first share was completely
shattered. the pieces being scattered
about the floor like so much broken
crockery. Thinking that possibly the
faultiness of this share had been an
accident of construction. perhaps of
overtempering. the dealer requested
the peon to swing upon the second
sample. This blow demonstrated that
the German implements were not even
consistent in their effectiveness. for
this share doubled up under the blow
and folded lovingly In around the
hammer like a flower going to sleep
at night.
There were tears In the consuPs
eyes as he wrung the salesman's hand
in congratulation. but all he said was.

SHOCKED THE JUSTICE.

And Was Taught a Lesson by Men,
Der of the Supreme Court.
How the Justices OF the United
States supreme court deal with any
attempt at an assault upon the conf
dences Of the court was disclosed to
an indiscreet young woman who was
visiting at the house of an associate
justice Of the court who had known
her since she was child. She was
sitting at the tea table one afternoon
with the justice and his wife and. all
unconscious of any wrongdoing. began
to talk about a case that was awaiting
the decision of the court
The wife of the justice exhibited as
much alarm and distress as though a
live dynamite bomb had been intro
duced into the company, but she could.
not catch her visitors eye and stop
her.
81 hope" said the prattling visitor.
that you will decide 1t In favor Of the
- company. because If you don't the

60 down"
The justice froze stiff. He assumed
what his wife calls his prisoner at
the bar manner as he stood up. He
was as grave and as stern as could be.
and he nearly scared the young wom-
an to death as he said:
my dear child. you must never speak
on such a subject to me again. am
going to leave the room now as a mark
Of my displeasure at the disrespect you
have shown me and my position, and If
you are ever so thoughtless again as to
refer to the business Of the court In my
presence shall see that you are never
admitted to the house afterward."-

SLANG is HARDY.
Some Supposedly Modern Phrases Are
Really Centuries Old.

Really Centuries Old.
Much of the current slang supposed
to be modern is not new. For in
stance, "kid'' (child) goes back as far
at least as Massinger's "Old Law"
$500.
81 am old, you say. Yes; parlous
cid, kids, and you mark me WELL"
Kidnap Ito nab kid was certainly
not a new word to De Foe or Bunyan
ITO skip OUT is accounted slang, but
in Wycliff's translation Of the Bible
we read, "Whanne barnabas and poul
herden this, thei skipten out"
In "Ralph Roster Doister," the first
English comedy, about the middle OF
the sixteenth century, an actor says,
NAY dame, 1 will fire thee out of my
house." which certainly has modern
ring.
Goldsmith in "The Good Natured
Man. Q760 says. "If the man comes
from the Cornish borough you must
do him." and this will require no gloss
for the modern reader.
"Not in it" is found in Shakespeare
Winters Tale" They have a dance
which the wenches say is gallimau-
fry of gambols because they are not
in it,
"Cut it OUT goes back as far at least
as Sheridan's "Critic" Q779), "The per-
formers have cut it out"
The optimistic brakeman who had
both legs cut off by train and who.
when a bystander tried to console him
by saying he ought to be thankful he

died, leaving the vast fortune (for Nj
geria) OF 2O,001 cowries. 1t fell to the
lot Of the king to divide them among
three sons, and he was at his wits
end to know what t. do with the one
cowrie. A wizard was called In, who
gained boundless credit by doing out
the cowries one by one until only six
remained. These he divided into three
lots OF two each and gave lot to each
son. The king to this day attributes
this very satisfactory outcome to con-

London, July s.-Strong Russian
reinforcements between the Vistula
and Bug rivers compelled the Aus
trians driving toward Warsaw to
assume the defensive. According to
official reports the Austrians are in
difficulty.
SThe expected German offensive in
the west has not developed. There
are persistent reports of big German
troop movements to the western
front. British and French reports
fail to confirm the Germans claim
of taken trenches near Ypres. At
several points the Germans are at
tacking violently, capturing trench
es in the St. Mihiel district.
