Gutta Peroha Covered Cables. .-Gutta
percha covered cable wires are not, ac-
cOrding to Mr.. Preece, the English
electrician, without their SCI ious dlsad-
Vantages- that Is, gum only appears to
last when In water. q blcs that were
laid In 1861 and have been brought up
within recent date. are now, ne says,
as good as the day when first put down
"heh, however, gutta percha becomes
exposed to the air, TO the alterations
OF climate, especially when exposed to
the action OF the sun, 1t decays rapidly
1t becomes, by oxidizetng, kind Of
resin that can easily be crumbled into
snuff like substance. Many attempts
nave been made to protect it, and to
arrest It's rapid decay. 1t has been sur
rounded with tape soaked with tar,
but the latter itself has been found in
furious, and has been supplanted by
other materials, though nothing has
yet been found that renders gutta
percha indestrucCible. In fact, when
exposed 70 air, as when exposed In tun-
nels, 1t seems TO have life Of about ten
years; When laid down in iron pipes,
uuder the influence of the variations
OF temperature that exist there, 1t
seems to last about twenty years; but
In the sea, where it Is exposed to ,tqua-
Bile temperature and equal condit. .ons,
It apparently seems capable Of lasting
forever.

Forms Of Diamond peculiar modi-
fcation Of diamond, known as ..oarbo.
nado,' which Ia as unslghtly as cast
iron, ts sold for use in rockborlng ma
chimes, at an average price Of eighteen
to twUnty shillings the carat. Fifteen
years ago an unlimited supply of this
substance was offered to L0ndon:mer-
chant, at the ridiculously low price of
threcpence carat; the Amsterdam
cutters, however, reported unfavorably
rs to its employment in their trade, and
the proposal was declined. 1t was
never renewed; for shorty afterwards
the serviceableness of the stone (Which
is as hard as diamond itsclf) both for
rock drilling and gem engraving, was
discovered, and from drug in the mar
ket 1t became an object Of energetic
competition. ''Carbonado" resmblrs

material as diamond, and Is III fact sup
posed to be diamond which has some
how got spoiled in the making. It is
found In masses Of from one to TWO
POUNDS In weight, and only In the
neighbour ood Of Bahia, for the Jumps

south Africa are deficient IN hardness.
and thus seem to have been arrested at
still earlier stage Of their process to-

which Is another deficient member of
the diamond family, but is nevertheless
also highly priced in the arts, consists
OF an aggregation Of tiny crystals,
mixed, like black diamonds OF Borneo,
with certain proportion Of amorphous
carbon. We see In 1t failure or u freak

separate centres of erystalllzation

ant jewel.
