The Way a Dianldna Is Cut.

If stone has to be Gut it is placed
in a rnatrix Of lead attached to d fer
rule, which, on cooling, holds the
stone tight. Another stone is placed
in like manner in another ferrule,
ahd one diamond is ground against
the other, the tools being held by the
workmen over small oblong box, in
which is placed seive, through
which the invaluable diamond dust is
sifted, to be used up as paste in the
process of polishing. Hour after hour
the patient craftsman rubs diamond
against diamond, nsw moistening their
heated surfaces, now heating the ma
trix and turning another angle to the
top, which in its turn becomes a per-
feet facet. When the required num-
Der Of facets are put on the stone is
passed on to the polisher.
Now steam power comes into play
Every polisher sits before disc re-
volving on steel spindletipped with
lignum vitae, at a rate Of seventy five
miles an hour, and resting on its
smooth surface are three or four clips:
each holds a ferrule, at the end OF
which is the matrix, in which the dia-
mond has again been embedded. By
an adjusting screw the facet, which is
being polished, rests at certain angle
on the fabricated disc, and every few
minutes each one is lifted off, and ex
amined, in order to see whether it sis
nearly done" or show it is getting on. "

Question.


Question.
During the summer Just passed a large
number of the citizens of Palatka spent
portion of their time in the mountains
or cities of the North, where they went
to recuperate or seek health and re
creation. A great many of these people
left town simply because they were
afraid to remain, and keep their families
during the heated term, when they
knew he city was so dirty and full of
standing water. and although we have
had no epidemic of sicknt SIS from these
causes, the fears of these people were
well grounded. We may not be so for
tunate another season, should we fail to
provide against such calamities.
With n proper system of sewerage,
which will insure the removal of all
filth, and the continued good health of
the city, the people will in great meas
ure stay at home, thus keeping the vast
amount of money spent in travel and
hotel bills to circulate among our own
people.
Aside from the money spent in travel
and at hotels, these travellers generally
buy large quantities of goods, sometimes
laying in full supplies for the year-all
of them making purchases of more or
less goods-when if the city wa. made
attractive and good health assured, the
people would stay at home, and our
home merchants would get the benefit of
the trade that is scattered over the coun-
try, which would go long ways in
keeping off such dull seasons as we have
just passed through.
Sewers will give us good health, good
streets, and induce people to stay with
us the year through, advantages that

THE Leavenworth Times says the
saloons in Leavenworth can be closed in
side of three months. According to GEN
eral Bradford, the situation at present pre-
sents some difficulties. He says: sThe
municipal authorities accept money from
the saloons in the shape of a license,
which is paid for the privilege of running
open. A policeman in that city ia paid to
collect this money from the saloon keep
ers, and the police force of the city are
under instructions to allow the saloons to
run without hindrsnce. The mayor of
Leavenworth, the council of the city, and
the entire city government know the
saloons are running In defiance OF the law,
but they allow them to continue open,
thereby encouraging the violation of the
Law, and violate their own Usths of office.
