Nova Scotia anp Ouro GRrinDsToNES.—
Tho ‘‘Acadians ” take advantage of the extraordinary high tides of the Bay of Fnndy,
to work its quarries. At low water a huge
mass of stone is loosened from its bed anc
a heavy chain is passed un-lerit and over n
large boat, which is placed alongside. As
the tide rises, the stone, attached to the
bottom of the bont, is floated into a sand
cove at high water, and made into grindstones after the tide recedes. This is doue
with mallet and chisel, the rongh parts being first chopped off with a henvy ax.
Machinery has been recently introduced,
and the small griudstones are now torncd
in a lathe by steam power. Nearly all the
Ohio grindstones are made by machinery
driven by steam power. The blocks of
stoncs heing loosened from the quarry bed
are roughly hewn out, with a square holo
in the center. This is placed on a heavy
square iron shaft frnished with a 9-inch
collar, against which tho stone is securely
fastened by means of another collar keyed
agninst the side of the stone. Tho shaft
end stono being driven by stenm power,
two men on opposite sides of the stone turn
it off perfectly true, by means of soft
iron bars abont G feet loug, and 2 by 14inch thick, drawn ont to a thin point,
which is cnrved upwards.—Cor. Scientific

The Ramic Plant.
Thisvaluable fibre plant, peculiarly favorable for cultlyation on the Pacific Coast, ie not a new discovery, hut
the recently-invented methods of mauufacturing its
fibres {nto a large varicty of beautiful and durable
goods CHRAPLY, is what has recently given it great popularity and significanea. [Illustrated in the Scientific
Press, Juunary 1, 1870.)
Advantages 0! Cultivating Ramic.
The plant has no encmies; mildew is said not to
affect it. The crop pays manifold better than eotton or
any other farming production now cultivated. It is a
superior ibra in every respect. 1t works equally well
with silk and with worsted chain. It takes fast colors,
and it always has a silky lustre; it surpasses all other
fihres iu wear.
Whoever goes into the cultivation of Ramie now, will
find great extra profit in tha sale of roots and cuttings
in the next rain season. There is an assured market for
Ramie, Weara suthorized by wealthy English dealers
In fibres to by all the Ramie fibre that can he procured
in California for years to come.
