"Coring' Stone Columns

pillars were cautiously hoisted by
derricks, vertically, leaving the rag
ged cores standing in their places.
An immense amount of drilling was
required. Including all the drilling,
there were 300 lineal feet required to
each pillar, or 1900 lineal feet for the
four.
The placing of these great cored
columns over the steel I-beams proved
very critical piece Of engineering.
By rope swings the columns were
hoisted to a vertical position. Each
pillar was then very carefully raised
about SO feet and slowly lowered over
the beam. All this was done without
the slightest accident. The monoliths
were placed in position without being
cracked, Clipped or f1awed.
Both at the top and the bottom the
steel structural beams were bolted to
the ironwork of the building and all
the space about them within the core
was filled with cement.
Engineers, architects and contract
ors all claim that these are the larg-
est and longest monoliths in the
world to receive this treatment with
perfect success Many much smaller
and lighter monolithic columns of
granite, marble. sandstone and other
stone have been cored, but nothing to
compare with those mentioned.

MOST OF us have seen devices for
A'A "coring' apples. or. at least, have
seen the apples themselves after the
cores have been removed. 1t is oc-
casionally necessary to remove the
center in much the same way from
heavy stone column, and in some
cases the operation assumes the size
and difficulty of an engineering feat.
The object is to strengthen the col
umn by the insertion OF an iron or
steel beam. The Strengthening is
often a necessity in these days of
crushingly heavy superstructures. A
coring operation that is said to have
been the most difficult on record was
performed not so long ago in Cali
fornia.
-Four high monolithic granite col
umns, each Is feet long and 2 feet In
diameter, were successfully "cored"
through their entire length. These
handsome pillars are of uniform size
from top to bottom and now inclose a
powerful steel reinforcing 1-beam.
The pillars were quarried and shaped
at the contractors quarry, more than
a. hundred miles from San Francisco.
The difficult task Of coring these long
monoliths was also done at the
quarry, more than two months being
required to accomplish the work.
Before the coring each pillar weigh

parting with half its weight. The
drilling necessary to remove the cores
was marvel of accuracy and skill.
The drilling was done from each end
of the pillars, each hole penetrating
nine feet-half the length. All these
drill holes met exactly-no Jogging.
When all the holes were drilled
around the core a fate edged drill was
used to cut away the stone between
the holes. Aftsg all stone connec-
tons wsse saSoved tho huge Stone

not expect to pay with his life. &C

ney Edgar Rothe, as having been OBJ

lay on a sick bed in her home, which
she calls ARK of the Covenant
Rothe announced that he would ask

The branding, according to Rothe's
statement of Mrs. Rhodes confession,
occurred in the early hours of March

confession continues, according to
Rothe, the family staged Garden

was participated in, it is alleged, by
the two Rhodes couples and the two
children of Mrs. Anna Rhodes. It
was said by Mrs. Rhodes to have been
interrupted by Mrs. Olive Hum

gelist Of the Pentecostal Church, who
protested against such practices.
