CEMETERY ART. REQUIREMENTS OF “FASHION” IN TOMBSTONES AND MONUMENTS. The Low, Broad, Flat Stone lar Than the Tall and More Popu- Pillar-—Granite Marble—~Figures and Quaint Devices. [New York Sun.) “There is very rarely any material change in what may be called the ‘fashion’ of tombstones and movumen's, "a monu ment cutter said. “The work becomes more artistic, but does not materially alter in design. We have still the low, broad, flat stone, lendivg wn ideas of strength and solidity rather than beauty, although many of the stones are very bandsome. They are, perbaps, even more popular than the tall pillars, but that may be due to the fact that they are less expensive. Still, some of the richest men in the country have placed them over their family grave plots . ay Could among others, although his is unusually graceful for a heavy stone. Some are simply large blocks of granite, or, it may be, marble, without anything in the shape of carving to relieve their somber appear ance except the smooth place where the name is cut, or, more ordinarily, placed in raised letters That is the old style, and it still holds its own. “But another kivd of flat stone is be. coming popular. The ponderous appear- ance is lessened by having the upper pert supported by granite pillars instead of the customary blocks of stone, and various devices in carving tend to lend grace and beauty to the monument, The (at stone is not usually of polished granite In the very nature of the monument something rugged is supposed, and if the stone were highly polished (and granite takes a far higher polish than marble, the effect would be Marred and the design incon. sistent. Figure®of life are very seldom carved on the flat stones, as they would hive to be either very short or placed in a horizontal position. The {at stones are generally over vaults, but not uncom monly we are ordered to place one of them over a single grave “The pillar or obelisk style of monu ment ranges usually from fifteen to twenty feet in height. They are generally of cut, but not polished, granite, the only part polished being the space where the name or inscription is carved The old style of a heavy, broad pillar with an obelisk top still prevails, but taller, more slender and more artistic eclumns are finding favor. They are cmbelished with all sorts of designs, and the art of the sculp tor, as well as his atience, is often taxed to the utmost to produce a statue that has no meaning, and exist ence, exc epl in wees thy owner of the gure on the top, so high up th its res can hardly be d are supposed those of the entombed below, is comme “A figure of life however, is often mit of the pillar cuted, and in harm it stands upon, has | it gives the colum the appearance of But fine to the ground find expression Wood swan f y stould have no iin of ihe monunient he bir small! fea'u hstingu which to bear some person wihoss of } statuary is usually and very in nt (rr cemeteries IF. are rich in cu for we an do is to full w and if we are piiiar a lamb lady iN voluminous skirt is to do it in the be beautiful des gus All wee given Upon tix de Sign wi hgh and roun d to give greater « rugged, irregular top, wher: posed to have Leen Lr en ofl most part pillars of all kinds stand a 8 i are Ie I siraizt fr the usint and rather stones are often Mi vauit long before the death ny mem ber of a family Pillars a:e¢ rer rarely ted until somebody's remaing y ) d JA wited below.

One of the many odd eallings which the production and pipe line transportation of setrolcum have made necessary, is one nown as “chasing the s raper. "Crude petroleum is run from the oil regions to the refineries at the seaboard, a distance of “00 miles, in iron pipes. It is forced the high hills that intervene by powerful pumps. Much of the way ib runs by its own gravity, These pies are constantly becoming clogged by scaunant and paratfine The clean them out an iron stem. two feet and a half long, to which are at tached circular steel scrapers fitting loosely in the pipes, is placed in the pipe at regular periods. This is forced along the line by the pressure of the oil behind it it is necessary to keep track of this scraper, in order that {ts exact location may be constantly known, so thut if it is stopped by any obstacle it may be readily discovered and the obstacle removed. The noise made by the scraper against the iron pipes as it moves along their interior would not be heard by sn untrained ear, but certain employes of the Pipe Line company are able te follow it on its Journey by the noise and never lose its sit uation. These men are the scraper chasers. They are stationed in relays three or four miles apart along the line. One chaser will follow up and down mountains, across ravines and through streams and swamps until he reaches the end of his section, when another man takes up the chase aud follows it until his relief is reached, and so on until the course of the | seraper is run The work is owl £ one the of hardship and to character of the ine is laid.
