FIGHTING FIERCELY ON THE
DEEP.
A Thrasher Shark and Sword Fish
Conquer a Great Sperm Whale.

A Thrasher Shark and Sword Fish
Conquer a Great Sperm Whale.
NEW ORLEANS, July 8.-Captain
Grimes and officers of the British steam
ship Humbolt, just arrived from Rio,
report having witnessed off the coast
of San Salvador terrific combat be-
tween a tremendous sperm whale,
thrasher shark and sword fish. The
whale had been attacked by the thrash
er and the sword fish and the sea was
lashed with seething foam. Size and
strength were with the broad-backed
sperm, which, wheeling round as if
working on swivel, swung its huge
tail with mighty power. 1t would raise
itself clear out of the water, squirt
through its nostrils and make frantic
efforts to annihilate its foes. The tao
tics adopted by the pair were successful.
The thrasher, springing upon the
back of the whale, clung there, at the
same time lashing the unfortunate
creature with its tail. Great sea ami
NAL was not able to cast it off. There it
held and lashed, while the swordfish
drove hissword time after time into the
side of the whale. The waters were
dyed with blood, and in O short time
the whale succumbed to the effects of
the beating and the stabbing, and floated
off dead.

DIAMOND CUTTING.
How the Process Is Carried On-A
Disc That Moves at the Rate offs
Miles an Hour.
[Pall Mall Gazette.

dlI MAI 0hLetLesI
Diamond cutting is a work which re.
quires great skill and indomitable pa.
tience on the part of the workman, and
his training is long and severe, for, des-
pite the machinery which is used,
much depends upon the deftness Of the
workman (who is handsomely remun-
Grated for his trouble.) He must be
able to tell from an examination of the
rough stone what is the proper treat
ment-that is, its shape md the
number ofits facets. An inferior work.
man can spoil twenty or thirty pounds
worth of property in as many seconds.
But the difficulty may the more easily
be imagined when we say ION Mr..
Streeter's authority that even the Ko-
hinoor has faults from the connoisseur's
point of view. This famous Jewel was so
clumsily cut by Venetian Named Hor-
tensio Borgio that it was reduced from
1893 carats to 1856, and rendered as dull
as piece of rock crystal. 1t was after
wards reduced to about 106 carats. and
even now still retains vitreous luster.
AS a rule, a rough diamond loses rs per
cent. of its weight in cutting and polish
ing, if 1t is to be turned out in the most
effective manner. Tt would be difficult
to describe with any minuteness the
technicalities of diamond factory.
Sufficient it is to say the operations,
though limited in scope, are of the most
delicate nature. 1t is often necessary
to split or cleave a stone whether to
divide it into smaller portions or cut off
excrescences which would be fatal to
the approved contour. IF stone has
to be divided it is carefully marked and
split by highly tempered steel blade.
If q stone has to be cut it is placed in a
matrix of lead attached to ferrule,
which, on cooling, holds the stone tight.
Another stone is placed in like man
ner against the other, the tools being
held by the workmen over small OBJ
long box, in which is placed a seive,
through which the invaluable diamond
dust is sifted, to be used up as paster
in the process of polishing. Hour after
hour the patient craftsman rubs dia-
mond against diamond, now moisten-
ing their heated surfaces, now heating
the matriX and turning another angle
to the top, which in its turn becomes a
perfect facet. When the required num-
ber of facets are put on the stone is
passed on to the polisher. Now steam
power comes into play. Every polisher
sits before a disc revolving on steel
spindle.tipped with lignum and vitae, at
a rate of seventy-five miles an hour,
and resting on its smooth furface are
three or four clips; each hold ferrule,
at the end Of which is the matrix, in
which the diamond has again been en-
bedded. BY an adjusting screw the fa-
Get, which is being polished, rests at a
certain angle on the fabricated disc, and
every few minutes each one is lifted off
and examined, in order to see whether
it "is nearly DONE" or chow it is get
ting on" To each man is delivered a
diamond or number of diamonds in
small paper parcel, and for these he is
responsible.
