STONE AGE IDEA
 STILL BEING USED
Principle Of 0lden Days Sur
 wives in New Saw

Washington, Dec. I. LP-A mod ern refinement Of Stone Age method of fashioning rock has come into use in the United States this year as the result of an experiment conducted under the supervision of the Bureau of Mines.
 The device, known as a wire saw, proved it's utility in Pennsylvania slate quarries by cutting large masses of the rock without the ne cessity of drilling. blasting and cut ting, which by old methods have resulted in considerable waste.
 Dr. Oliver Bowles. one of the Bureaus experts, arranged for the experiments in cooperation with quarrymen after Government engl- neers had studied operation of the wire saw in Belgium. The saw is merely a long steel cable, drawn at high speed across a rock surface and fed continuously with wet sand. The sand acts as an abra- sive and enables the cable 10 sink into the rock at rate of about two inches an hour. Operation cost, the bureau asserts. is half that Of methods now generally in use, the speed of cutting is much greater, and the waste of material is much less.
 Notwithstanding the thoroughly modern aspects of the machine, the bureau engineers find it's efficiency depending upon the same phenom- enon which prehistoric man utilized to make his arrow heads and tools of stonc-the effect of abrasion or grinding.
