The Qaarrin of Carrara.
The marble used by most of the
sculptors in Italy, and preferred to any
other by artists thrt world over, comes
from the famous quarries of Carrara,
Italy. A correspondent of the Balti
more Sun gives the following interest
ing account of his visit to the quarriei
He spent several days at Carrara, and,
according to his statement, there are
some 6,000 men at work in the quar
rier, and there are 100 studios of
sculpture at Carrara, 63 sawmills, and
25 polishing wheels, which brighten
dull marble and smooth tho slight
fortunes of some 400 plodding workers.
The hewing of rough rocks, huge in
their proportions, is something ap.
preaching the marvelous here. The
men are hoisted to the hoight of some
700 feet a'tove the level of the quarry,
and up aloft excavate colossal lumps of
marble. Each gang, or the foreman
of the gang, goes down with and on
the lump as it is swung by derrick
ropes out into the air and swiftly
brought to mother earth.
One of thtse Italians will sing in
lusty tones, "Viva, viva Garibaldi,"
from his dizzy eminence, and suddenly
appear below where you are standing,
his bright, big black eyes full of un
equaled expressiveness and his white
tenth glittering lietween unapproach
able smiles-the imlienable gifts of
these people-and sav, "Ah, signore,
will you go up with me again!" just as
if it were a perfectly ordinary feat.
The free, easy, and primative style of
this Carrara flying-trapeze work makes
it appear doubly dangerous. Hun-
diedsof accidents occur every year,
Children scarcely out r-t their swad
dling clothes work amid the glare and
dust of this lovely white marble, and
die with sore- ryes and stilled lungs.
The food is dry bread, a raw onion, and
dirty water.,1,. It U the only place in
Italy where wine is not drunk. Worn
out by ihsessant, severe toil, these
oeoDle. insuflicienllv f 'd, fall into
it'
dissipation, violence and crime, dying
like dogs, and leaving on the white
marble the sweat of their . wrotched
lives. We see none of this under the
hand of art. - ' .
Fully $800,000 worth of marble goes
out annually from these quarries, the
bulk of it to France. The price of it
varies according to its beauty, The
first quality is priced at 00 to 80 per
square meter at the seaport. This is
what we term statuary marble. The
socond quality is priced at $45 to 862,
and the spotted at $.30 to $59. Then
comes pure white, but not statuary
marble. The price is $50 per square
meter. The second quality is $35, and
the third ib $30. Th? veined marble
brings on the first quality $50, and on
second quality $35. Violet-huud mar
ble brings $70 to $100 per square
meter. These are the ordinary tariffs,
and on them the profits are absurdly
high before

inquest, and the lody was burwd in

1 Lively Corpie.
The colored people of Valdosta, Oa.,
are somewhat mystified over the irreg'
ular proceedings of a corpse, which
rvfused the decent burial with which
they were complimenting it. Craw
Duncan had been for years a leader la
colored politics, hut he never took to
religion. A few days ago ho became
violently ill, and going to bed, he was
duly beset by weeping sisters and
zealous preachers, but all to no purpose.
When the time canio he died and a
large number of friends gathered to
pay the latt tribute to his memory. As
is the custo n among colored people,
they sang over his body all night, The
weird music that floated over the
adjacent forest that night struck
responsivo chord in the liosoms of the
owls of the hasser note and they joined
in the refrain. About midnight a littlo
bird flitted in one door and out of the
other. This caused the assemblage to
go on its knees, when the leader
declared that "aperita could not harm
'ligious folks," and the singing was
resumed.
When daylight came the .weary
watchers detailed ono squad to' build
cntlin and another to dig the grave. The
rude casket was first completed and .
conducted to the proper place. It was) .
put nn two chairs, facing each other,
besido the corpse. Friends drew around
to take a last look; pall-bearers pat .
themselves in position to bear ths
burden to the grave; the .coffin was
held over the open grave and at a
word it was let drop to the bottom. In
an instant the lid went flying off ths
coffin and the dead man arose and
cursed with all the exuberance of a
man who had worked on a canal. Tho
mourners scattered in every direction,
Dut the funny part of it is that they
insist that he is really dead and will
havo nothing to do with him.
Safety is henceforth to be insured on
railroads. According to the Pari
Gaulois, an apparatus has just been
invented which is simply astounding,
for with it the traveler need no longer
fear any accident. .This apparatus1
permits the employe charged with the
duty to see in a mirror the entirs
section of the road he is to control,
with all the trains in motion, and he
knows at every instant just exactly
where each train ia When one of
them approaches another at a distance
which is dangerous, he can immediately
signal the menaced train. The appara
tus consists of a sheet of opaque glass,
on which the rails are indicated by
horizontal lines and the stations by
vertical ones, numbered. Little ar
rows, representing the trains, move
along the horizontal lines. These are
put in motion by electricity, developed
by the contact of metalio brushes
attach sd to the locomotives with sino
bands placed alung the rails. The
train thus continually traces its trajec
tory on the ((lass indicator. The ap
paratus was exhibited a few weeks ago
in Germany to a commission of ,Berhr
scientists.

instruments. All of his operations in

skill necessary to do this is only ac

it is obtained the operator is able to
extract a half dozen teeth in about
thirty seconds without once removing
his fingers from the patient's mouth.
