GREAT NATURALIST.
Sketch of Alexander Asa.six, Opponent
of Evolution Idea.

OF Evolution Idea.
Alexander AgassiZ, naturalist, was
born in Switzerland in 1885. He ac-
quired considerable learning before
coming to the United States in 1849.
Graduated from Harvard in 1856. one
of the brilliant cluster of that decade.
he taught for time In young ladies'
school which his father directed. He
studied chemistry and engineering and
went to California in 1859 as assistant
on the coast survey. Returning in
1860. he became assistant in the muse
um of zoology at Cambridge, whose
department OF zoology and geology in
the Lawrence Scientific school had
been created to honor his father. Most
emient of American scientists of his
time, Alexander Agassiz rose to be the
best authority on certain forms Of
marine life. A copious and absorbing
writer, he stood until his death first
of purely scientific opponents Of evolu-
tion of species. His writings on en-
bryology include Investigations show
ing that the ovum Of any species II
normally developed produces the same
species. He carried on the Natural
History of the United States" begun by
his father. All the European scientific
societies honored themselves by plac-
ing his name in the list of correspond
ing members, Invariably as an Ameri
can.

PREPARING DIAMONDS.
Polishing Thsm Is the Aost Inporta.s

Among the many industries of AM
sterdam one of the most interesting
as we'll as the most important is that
of diamond cutting and polishing.
Though an unknown art until the ff-
teenth century, 1t has since that time
fiourished greatly, until now at the
present day there are no less than six
ty-two firms registered as diamond
companies in this great city. When
the diamonds first arrive in Amster-
dam they are in the same rough uncut
state as they were when found in the
South African mines. Before reaching
their highly polished state they have
to pass through three separate and dis
tinct processes-the processes OF dia-
mond splitting, diamond cutting and
diamond polishing, and when these are
accomplished the stones are ready for
the jeweler. Diamond splitting and
diamond cutting look somewhat alike.
as the tools are very similar. but in
reality the process is not the same. the
great difference being that pressure is
used in the first instance always on the
same spot. with the idea of causing
the diamond to split into two stones;
while in the other case 1t is used
equally on every part of the diamond.
in order to give it simply round
shape To gain this roundness is,
therefore, the one leading idea of dia-
mond cutting. AS the diamonds are
cut fine dust falls from them into
wooden box on the table. and this pow
der is most carefully preserved. as it
is used largely in diamond polishing
when mixed with oil. AS the object of
diamond cutting is simply to make the
stone a round one. so the object of dia-
mond polishing is to give the diamond

Gen. Louis Botha, the ablest by far

He was in front of Ladysmith and
there he fought with cunning
