Cutting DIamonds win a saw.
LCincinnati Enquirer.l


sThere are are three processes nee
essary to be gone through with between
the rough stone and the diamond as
you see it here" replied the jeweier
First, a piece of stone the reqnired
size must be cut off, To do this We use
a circular saw made of sheet iron and
without teeth, 1t . is worked like a
wood-workers S saw, and two men stand
at the treadle. One man holds the
stone to be cut tightly against
the edge of the saw, while the
other. using a small feather dipped in
oil, applies diamond-dust to the edge of
the saw. The saw is made Of very due
tile metal, and the particles of diamond
dust becoming firmly set in it, soon
wear through the hardest stone. Now
the piece of diamond passes to the cut
ting-table, upon which is strapped a
wheel running parallel to the top of the
table. The stone is fastened by cement
to the end of a stick six inches long.
''The lapidary takes the stick IN his
right hand and holds the stone firmly
against the wheel until one facet Is
ground down. Diamond dust and water
are constantly applied to the wheel.
The table and upper facets OF the stone
are cut this way, and the stone is then
removed from and readIusted to the
stick before the lapidary cuts the under
sides, callets and remaining facets. The
stone is manipulated the same IN the
third or polishing process as in the cut
ting process. Tho wheel, however, is
composed mainly of tin, and tripoi and
rotten stone are used in the polishing
process"

passed house in Mission street, where
resided well-known physician. The
vestibule of this residence was open
and on its side the dim rays of the
moon, struggling through the gloom
produced by the efforts of the city gas
company, disclosed the mouth ssof an
acoustic tube, underneath which was
the incription: whistle for DR.. Potts -
Not wishing to be disobliging about
so small matter, the owl stumbled up
the steps, and, steadying himself against
the wall, blew into the pipe with all the
strength of his lungs.
The physician, who was awakened by
the resultant shrill whistle near his
head arose, and, after wondering at the
singular odor of whisky in the room,
groped his way to the tube and shouted: /:
"WeIl?"
"Glad to know you're well, was the
reply; "but, being a doctor, s'pose you
can keep well at cost price, can't you?"
"What do you want ?" said the man
of pills, not caring to joke In the airy
nothing of his nightshirt.

end of the tube. after a few moments
meditation. "Ohl by the way, are you
young Potts or old Potts"

Potts."
"Not dead, I hope"
There never was any. I have no
son."
"Then you are young Potts and old
