Bystanders find a fascination in
watching the adept manner in which
the experienced stone cutters halve
and trim the paving blocks which are
being taken up on Main street, says the
Rockland Courier G azet,e. A straight
line, midway of the block, is made with
a tracer. The stone is then turned over
and struck sharply in the center with
a mapping hammer. Sometimes the
brittle stone snaps 10 two with the first
stroke, but if IL does not the paving
cutter links 1t near the end and the block
suddenly falls into two pieces, each
having as clean an edge ss carving
knife would ipflict. The two pieces
of stone are then trimmed with reels
and side.hammers. The whole process
only lasts few seconds, and the cutter
proceeds jauntily with another stone,
having earned one cent ON each half Of
the finished product. A smart cutter
earns from So to So a day. A novice
would probably make IA cents, with
good luck,
