NEW STYLE IN DIAMONDS.
The Latest Method Gives the Dla.
mond Eighty Facets.

A new method of cutting diamonds,
so as to wonderfully increase their
brilliancy and apparent size. has been
discovered by New York expert, af.
ter seven years of experimenting. II
makes II possible to increase their
brilliancy, size for size, fully 100 per
cent.
To understand the form of the
beauty of the new cutting il is neces-
sary to be familiar with the general
form of previous cutting. The names
of the faces of diamond are more or
less familiar. The fiat top surface OF
the old ordinary brilliant is called the
table. The outer edge OF the stone,
or It's largest diameter, is called the
girdle, and the small surface at the
bottom Is called the culex. The cut
ting has fifty.six facets or cuttings,
and, including the tab.e and the Gu
lex. ffty-eight facets.
The twentieth century" cutting
gives the diamond eighty facets. and
does away with both the table on top
and the culex at the bottom. Both
the upper and lower surfaces come to
point, leaving no fat surface on
any part of the stone.
Anyone who looks at an old style
diamond must notice that the fiat sur
face on top (the table, of the stone
is comparatively lusterless and dull.
, To get the best effect from such a
stone one must turn II until the light
strikes 1t at the proper angle. The
twentieth century" cutting does
away with this surface. or dull spot.
In other words. the old style alb
serbs the light through the table and
gives II off from its facets at the
side. The new cutting absorbs the
light from the entire upper surface
and gives II off with marvellous bril-
liancy from every one Of its eighty
shining facets. No matter at what
angle the light strikes the new stone,
or from what point it is viewed. II re-
tains the same dazzling brilliancy.
This marvellous brIlliancy is due TO
the fact that each OF the eighty facets
has been cut at exactly the proper
angle in relation to every other facet.
If the angle of a single facet was not
mathematically correct, according TO
the laws of optics. the brilliancy
would be impaired or lost. 1t will now
be possible. perhaps, for the laymen
in such matters to appreciate the
wonderful complexity of diamond cut
ting.
The new diamonds can only be cut
by men especially trained TO the
work, and this adds largely to their
expense. Then, again, the new cut
ting exaggerates the slightest defect
of color, so that only perfect gems
are fit to be cut in this way. 1t Is
estimated that eventually the new
cutting will only increase the cost ol
diamonds about ~ per cent. To com
pensate for this the stones will gaiI
from IS to 100 per cent in brilliancy
and will appear at least one-thirt
larger.

Commissioner Yerkes of the Inter-
nal Revenue Bureau has ruled that
druggist and others who sell soda
water drinks, claret soda or similar
beverages to which distilled spirits
or wine are added in any quantity,
however small, are required to pay
special tax for retail liquor dealers
under the internal revenue laws.
That decision seems all right. If
man is going to drink let him walk
in at some saloon whose proprietor pays
his license and take his embalming
fluid openly and above board, and not
sneak drink under the idea that he
is either getting better liquor or taking
the "schluck" as medicine because
he buys the stuff at drug store.

POINT Iona SCHOOL.
To Be Investigated by Commissioner
of immigration.
Serious Charges Made Against Mrs.
Katharine G. Ting1ey, "LotOs
Mother" and Chief of the
"UniverSaI rOtherhoOd.o

The recent investigation in New
York touching the admission of IL
Cuban children that were on their way
to Point Iona, CAL, to become "lotos
buds" in the Raja Yoga school,
brought out a great mass of
testimony as to that institution, it's
managers and management. The chill
dren were refused admission, but an
appeal has been taken. News has
come that the appeal will not be decid
ed until Mr.. Sargent, commissioner
general Of immigration, who is now in
California, shall have made personal
investigation of the school.
The opposition to the admission of
the Cuban children was powerfully
backed by the New York Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Children,
which had the assistance of a similar
organiza tion in San francisco. A few
evenings ago this society decided to
try to wipe out of existence the school
at Point Iona, and for that purpose
has given the president, Judge Vernon
M. Davis, and the counsel, Mr.. Ell
bridge T. Gerry, unlimited powers to
act for the purpose of breaking up the
school and the Universal Brotherhood
which Is back of it.
The Universal Brotherhood and the
Raja Yoga school have been before the
public for several years. Much of
their notoriety has been due to the eff
forts of John J. Bohn to obtain pos
session of his two children that were
in the school. The institution is under
the control Of Mrs. Katharine G.. Ting
ley, who Is the founder of one of the
new cults in which theosophy, sun
worship, and some cid Egyptian su-
perstitions seem curiously blended.
Mrs. Tingley is the Lotos Mother, and
the children are lotos buds. The school
is only one feature of the Point Iona
settlement, where there are extensive
