MARINE REVIEW. REGARDING DULUTH GRAIN. One of the Duluth vessel agents says of the freight situation at the head of the lakes: “There appears to be no activity in the grain market and the general situation is unchanged since one week ago. There is still no inquiry for tonnage for opening shipment. The weather continues cold. The ice in the harbor is 20 in. thick, and a few packs are now and then visible in the lake. The movement of coal is brisk.” Following is a table showing the quantities of grain in store at Du- luth now, as compared with stocks a year ago: 1900. 1901.

The illustration presents a new machine for sawing to accurate dimen- sions the heaviest timbers required in ship and navy yards. The saw- arbor is of large diameter, lead-ground and runs in a heavy frame with connected self-oiling bearings gibbed to the face of a massive cored bracket, the inner end of which is planed and fitted to a heavy wall plate, secured to a post or side of the building. The bracket car- rying the saw-arbor has a vertical ad- justment to compensate for wear of the saw, as well as dimensions of timber, so constructed that it always. remains per- fectly true with table. The saw-arbor = ; — - frame is traversed over the table by 4 hand-wheel at the top, and will carry a saw 36 in. in diameter, and cut off material to 30 in. wide, and timbers 12 in. thick by 24 in. wide. The table is long and fitted with wrought iron rolls; is of convenient height, and has a fixed fence at the back to retain timbers at right angles to the saw. The countershaft is placed vertically above the center of the arbor, leaving the floor clear of all obstructions. The manufacturers of ‘this machine, J. A. Fay & Egan Co., West Front street, Cincinnati, will be pleased to furnish full particulars and prices to those interested, and will also send their new illustrated hanger free.

All gearing is below the main shaft, which insures smooth running, and is protected from injury by guards. Another valuable feature is that the strain of cutting angles is taken on the center line of each plunger and its bearing, no offsets being required in either slide. We build this shear in several sizes with capacities to cut from the smallest to the largest angles. Further particulars furnished upon application.
