'''Machinery Supplanting Art.'''

[[Sir Arthur Conan Doyle]] is a man of many parts. Not content with the art of medicine he launched out into fiction. He then went to the war, and now his name is appearing in connection with a very remarkable machine which carries out the art of sculpture mechanically. The machine has been invented by Signor Auguste Bontempi of Naples, and [[Sir Arthur Conan Doyle]], together with Mr. W. G. Jones, have acquired all the British rights of the invention. The machine, which has been temporarily set up at Battersea, consists essentially of a needle, or a revolving steel drill, which is worked hydraulically. The machine is only for the purely mechanical processes of the sculptor's art. One machine can in twelve hours turn out as much work as now takes by hand two months to complete.
