Dip a Razor in Boiling Water

"The old.fashioned barber imagined
that the cutting qualities of razor
we're benefited by dipping it in very
hot or boiling water" explained u
laxative knight Of the razor. "He
thought the razor was improved be-
cause the hot water removed a resin
Gus substance which collected on it.
The razor was improved, but not for
the reason given. 1t has been found
out that r razor or other fine steel
cutting tool is best tempered at hear
OF 2l2 degrees, That is the exact poin5
OF heat where the best edge can be pu5
on razor. Two huudred and twelve
degrees OF heat is also boiling point OF
water, and consequently when razor
is dipped in boiling water it gives it a
new edge again. The o'd-loshioued
barber was right, therefore, though
lie did not know why lie was right"

All the women are owned by the King,
who sells them to the men. That's the
way the royal exchequer is kept up.
A wife represents very loug term Of
labor in the mines, so the Kafiir is not
above decreasing his period OF service
by secreting q few diamonds about
him if he can. To keep the men from
getting away with all the diamonds,
the company he's an overseer for every
SIX or eight workers. As the Kaflirs
work with no clothing other than an
extremely small breech clout, oppor-
tunities Tor external concealment are
very small. Every one of them is
carefully searched every day before
he leaves the mine. There nre three
punishments for Kafirs caught stealing
diamonds. One is whipping; and 1t
is no joke the way it is done there.
The second is Imprisonment, which is
likely to include whipping, and the
third is being committed to the break
water to break stones. In spite OF
all these precautions there are many
diamonds stolen yearly.
"Well, to come back to the subject,
it is almost inexplicable how five

be brought out without discovery

South Africa. The illustration shows
the exact size OF the lump of earth.
On the surface of this lump Of earth,
which is called blue mass, are forty
five diamonds Of good size, while
many other smaller ones can be seen
glinting through q thin encrustation.
Blue mass is the regular diamond
matrix, the earth Of ali the Kimberley
mines of South Africa. 1t dissolyes
like lime under 240 pounds pressure
in water. On an average this earth
yields about SD worth of diamonds to
the ton. II it were all as rich in dia-
monds as this lump supposedly is,
reckoning from what appears on the
surface OF IL, the yield would be some
think like six million dollars a ton.
Mr.. Levy says that until he finds an
X ray that will show up the interior
of the specimen he can't tell the com
mercial value Of his prize. As a curl
Osity he considers it worth about
$4,000.
OF the diamonds on the surface of
the piece OF earth the largest is reck-
Oned to weigh about sixteen or seven
teen carats. This one is nearly round,
aud almost completely encrusted with
the blue mass. 1t is not of very good
quality. The best OF the stones APP
pears to be of about four carati
weight. Several of the diamonds are
almost perfect octohedrons, while 9th
ers show almost equal geometrical
regularity, but less completely. The
owner thinks that the surface value il
