Getting Rid Of Marble Waste.

The waste of a Vermont marble
quarry is reduced by crushers and
rolls to fragments of one-half inch or
less, and is then burned into quicklime.
The rotary kiln for this purpose is 8
feet in diameter and 20 feet long, in
clined per cent from the horizontal.
It is driven by belt from S0-horse
newer motor, and has a speed of O.5 to
l.b revolutions per second. Producer
gas introduced at the lower end yields
a temperature Of 1920 degrees f.
This converts the rock fragments into
quicklime by driving off the carbonic
acid gas, and the hot material drops
from the lower end of the kiln into q

learning readly Aim,

The skill with which American gun:
aePs frustrated the attacks of U-boats
was due, In large measure, to the
use of an ingenious target for gun
practice during the voyages. The de-
vice consisted of framework. about
thirty feet long and five feet wide,
built to be drawn through the water,
with an imitation coming tower and
periscope mounted on the upper side,
1t was drawn behind the ship by
means of two cables ATTACHED one above
the other. BY pulling on the upper one,
the upper side of the frame was made
to project forward, causing the target
to rise to the surface, while by pull
ing on the lower cable the device
would quickly suhmerge. Officers out
ef sight of the gunners manipulated
the apparatus, frequently changing
the range by paying out or taking in
the cables.

NEW YORK'S NOTED HOUSES

United States.

New York city never preserves IFS
monuments, but, strange to say, there

roe doctrine, James Monroe, the fifth
president, who fought in the Revolu-
kiOn. The house where he lived and
died-on Prince, corner of Lafayette
street, is there. and it looks It's part.

Grant, originally Hiram Grant, who
dived on Sixty-sixth street. near Fifth
avenue, which was perhaps the most
handsome home OF any of the former
presidents. It is not merely a house,
but a residence. It looks like New
