NEW TOOL BORES
 SQUARE HOLES IN WO0D,STONE:,IRON
Cheaply Made Is Adapted to Make Many Shaped
 Holes.

New York. August 9. (Specinl Cor respondenco.) )-AIa4ster mechanics are said to be enth usiastic fin praise of a new tool. an auEer to bore square holes, recently perfected by Carl H. Schmidssn, q tool manufacturer of Peoria, Illinois. According to James Anderson. who writes an account of this revolutionary invention for the August St. Nicholas, 1t will so through wood. iron or stone. with equal ease and swiftnoss. and can be manufac- turcd very chcaply. consisting as 1t docs of only q dozen parts. Also. the idea is adaptable to varia tons which will make 1t possible to bore holes of any desired shape, regular or ir- regular.
 That metaphor for foo1ishness in tho college classroom. jest of the ma chine shop. and hay dream of the serious. experienced engineers" says Mir. Anderson. "an auger to bore square holes, has been perfected by Carl H. SchmidEall. q young inven- tor of Peoria, Illinois
 Not only has he completed the construction of a working model of his machine, which works it's way by rotary motion through wood, iron or stone. and obtained letters patent from the United States patent office. but engineers in one of the loading universities of the country have ap- proved it as practicable. cheaply man. ufacured. simple tool. and he has been offered a considerable sum for his patent rights.
 The tool is really five auEers in one. four little conica1 rotary cut ters milling out tho corners of the square as the main shaft sinks a hole through the lumber. In boring through iron or stone two operations take place: first a round hole is drilled through. and then the four rotary cutters mill out the corners at a sin gle operation. Drilling a square hole through a one-inch piece of marble by the usual methods takes four hours or moro of careful work by skilled man. By the new invention it can be, and has been done. in five min utes.
 And yet the square auger is sim pie machine with only a dozen parts. carefully adjusted and accord ing Go experts who have examined and tested 1t, can be manufactured at a comparatively low price.
 By making simple variations in the shape of cutters, 1t is possible on the same principal to make the auger bore holes of almost any imaginable shape key holes for doors, ovals, fnany-sided and irregular holes.
 ''The inventor has been working on his idea since he was twelve years old, while learning at the same time. his trade of maohinist in his fathers blacksmith shop. He is now twenty nina and operates the biggest hand made tool shop in Illinois outside of Chicago. Master mechanics from all parts of the world have been to visit him and see his square auger at work"

 The contest over the fundamental questions of national representation and democratic control of future in- ternational trades union congresses resulted in a compromise, adopted by a vote of Is to 5, with six dele bates not voting. The compromise provided that each country should have one vote for 25o,00o members. two votes for a half million mem bers, three votes for a million mem bers and an additional vote for each half million members above the first million. Countries having less than a quarter million members would be entitled to one vote.
