Parts OF bone usually discarded q few
years ago are now staple article, and
find ready purchasers among manufact-
urers
What little bone of first quality that
is placed upon the market is sold at prices
which will astonish persons not familiar
with the trade. A we'll known Pearl
street firm disposed of several thousand
pounds several days ago at $500 a
pound, and a similar figure has been
realized by dealers in Europe.
"Whalebone is getting scarcer every
season." said an old South street whale
ship boat steerer, "an' pretty soon there
won't be any at all. The blackfish.
humpbacks and sperm whales, from
which most of the bone is taken, don't
breed very fast. They are killed off
Easter than they breed, and in conse-
quence it is only a question of time
when they will be exterminated alto
gether, and the humpback will be as
much curiosity as the departed NAM
moth.
There's no more money in whaling
for Sailors" he continued, ''nor for any
body but the big concerns what controls
a number of these newfangled steam
whalers. If you don't believe what
say, go to New Bedford There you will
see lots of vessels, brave ships once, but
old hulks now, with their bones bleach
ing on the sands around the bay. They
were driven out of the business, and the
sailors were driven out with them.
s "The whales got scarce, and or A per
cent. on invested capital didn't pay ex-
penses to the owners of single ships, SO
they had to give up. Only few of the
old timers are left, and l guess they
won't last much longer. y New York

Value Of Diamonds.

The weight of a carat is four grains
Troy, but the value of the diamond carat
is very uncertain quantity. depending
altogether on the quality, purity, cut
ting and size Of the stone. According
to standard work on precious stones, a
well-cut diamond of perfect color, hav-
ing no flaws, ''feathers," or other imper-
fections, is worth $40; one of two carats
is worth from $50 to $10O; one of three,
$500; of four, $640; of eight, $1,000; OF
ten, 81 800; Of twenty, $4,000.
The valuation of stones of larger
size is purely matter of fancy, depend
ing almost altogether on the whims of
seller and purchaser, and even with the
small sized stones an almost inappreci-
able variation in tint will often make
an enormous difference in valuation.
Fashion also influences the price Of dia,
