THE precious stone workers of Ger
many are among the most interesting
persons have ever seen when engaged
In cutting their jewels" said a well
known traveller. "Th" principal indus.
try is at FrciburG, ON the edge Of the
Black forest, in which the precious
stones are found. The principal jew
els are amethyst, lapis lazuli and mala-
chitc. The process Of cutting them is
the interesting part OF the work. All
OF them are cut under water. The
jewel cutters lie fiat upon their stom-
achs while at work, with their hands
under water. holding the stone WHICH
Is being prepared, and the motion of
the wheel does the cutting. The action
of the water makes the process more
rapid ana at the same time leaves Il
better surface than If cut in the air"

have an overcoat on himself for the day
had been pretty warm even for a winter
here So he took off his sack coat and
put 1t on the little un and walked home
himself in his shirt sleeves
The next day he was sick again and
this tonne worse than iver. But the doc
