"A Stupendous Exhibit of Vermont /
Granite" is the caption employed by the
editor in describing a colored |
picture of one of Barre's largest granite |
The picture, full-page illus
tration, forms part of the pictorial
section in the current issue of The Out |
look, and the following description &C
it: "The huge mass of gran
tie in the center of the picture, which |
contains one-half million cubic feet, or
5 600 carloads, at present lies in the town
of Barre, Vt. 1t will soon be scattered
all over the world in the form of monu
ments, memorials, and public and private
buildings, through the work of 800 men,
who are for the moment resting on its
surface, and countless local workers.
That this gigantic rock, one of the hard
est of substances, can be divided ac-
curately into sections and transported
great distances by the pygmies perched
upon it, presents striking evidence of
mans control over nature"
