SPECTACLE LENSES.
How They Are Cut With the Tiny Frag
ment of a Diamond.

How They Are tut With the Tiny Frag-
ment of Diamond.
The work Of cutting Is all performed
with tiny fragment Of diamond, known
in the trade as a spark. 1t is not every
spark, however, that will cut lens. The
sparks are mounted in the following man
ner, says the American jeweler: A piece
OF brass wire is selected, say three-sx-
Ieenths of an inch in diameter, hole is
drilled in the end large enough to admit
the spark. and it is set in the hole with
the point up The outer edge or
she'll Of the wire is beaten inward
and holds the spark firmly in
place. The wire is then placed in the lathe
and cut off just back of the spark, turning
tile end hemispherical, using the point OF
the spark that sticks through the brass as
center. A piece OF steel wire is next Sc
leeted. of the same diameter as the brass
wire, and the end is turned in, forming a
cup. The mounted spark is then soft
sOldered in this cup and it is ready for
the machine, which works automat-
icallY from pattern, and can be set to
cut larger or smaller than the pattern
Before the mounted spark is placed in the
machine, however. it is tested by hold
ing the handle upright. Ii it does not
cut i'll an upright position, the point is un-
sOldered by means of the blowpipe and the
naDule IeSOiueTeu, leaVInS Jne cuttlaB point
at the required angle, while the handle it.
self is upright When the spark is found to
cut well in an upright position, it is then
placed In the machine for trial. The glass
is placed upon a pad under the spark, the
glass varying in form according to the kind
of lens being cut. If the lens is fiat the pad
is also, and if the lens is convex the pad is
cOncaye, and must be a perfect fit, for the
better the fiji the more accurate will be the
work. The pattern and glass travel around
while the diamond remains stationary.
The life OF spark is snort, some being
only one day, while once in a while they can
be worked for year. The workmen aver
age fifteen dozen pairs of lenses per day. A
good diamond will cut on an average If 1900
dozen pairs. The average lens measures
four inches around. and dozen pairs would
be eight feet. In cutting 1900 dozen pairs
the spark would travel over surface equal
to piece of glass 1900 feet long. There
are exceptional sparks that cut for months.
now have one which has been in operation
for fifteen months and has cut 1900 dozen
pairs, travelling about $1,000 feet We use
two kinds OF sparks the Brazilian and the
African, and they cost from SS to So each.

What Is Thought Of Starting One in Long

Sponge-gT0wers, importers and traders
have something interesting to talk about
and laugh over. They heard on Saturday
that Long Island was soon to be the great
spOnge-growing section Of the world, and
in mock seriousness the Old-timers in the
trade were holding up their hands and an
nOuncing that they would retire from bust
ness Immediately instead Of waiting to be
forced to the wall, says the New York Min
ing Advertiser.
The story they heard was that company,
with large capital and unlimited enterprise,
had been organized to experiment in sponge
growing on the ocean shore of the island, at
a point indefinitely stated as NEARLY op-
posite the Shinnecock HIS" The pre-
liminary arrangements had all been per-
fected, and as soon as the weather was set

A reporter Of the Advertiser tried to get
some information about the new company

A String OF Diamonds That Is Famous in

This wonderful necklace was completed
by Paris jeWeler in 1875, On the order Of
Louis XIV, who intended TO present it to
Nine. du Barry, his court favorite. The
madame, however, was excluded from the
French court On the death Of Louis, which
occurred before the necklace was finished.
1t contained 500 diamonds, and was so
costly that none Of the princes or mobiles Of
fha country could afford to purchase it. Its
cost, estimated in United States money, was
about $500, 600, says the jewelers. Weakly.

The Prince of Wales is Colonel of good

missions in crack corps of a dozen other
countries besides his own, it being court
etiquette that princes shall wear in each

regiment he may happen to visit the Prince
of Wales must wear their full uniform
for dress occasions and their mess or

This easy-g0ing willingness to accept any
situation not absolutely compromising with

much as in his dress, which, while always
suited to his convenience and comfort, is al
ways thoroughly in harmony with his
surroundings In Scotland, where by the
way, lie has not been much of late, he and
his sons always compromise with the
national dress by making their tramps
and hunting or fishing excursions clad
in the garb of the canny Scots
who accompany them. At Sandringham
when out of doors the Prince usually
wears rough tWeeds and c0rdurOys, with
clOSe-htting plgskin leggings, as he is likely
to mount at any moment and canter away

London he Is seldom seen IN public in other
than perteet-h,tlng trock- coat over Very
