So remarkable was the nihility of the tubular drills and tho skill of tho workmen, that the cutting marks In hard granite give uo Indication of wear of tho tool, while a cut of a tenth of an inch was made In the hardest rock at each revolution, and a hole through both tho hardest and softest material was bored perfectly smooth and uniform throughout.
