Diamonds for Drawing Fine Wire.
From the Electrica1 Review


Diamonds are used quite extensively as
dies for drawing wires of the smallest
sizes: for instance, the sizes less than say
023-inch diameter. The hardest steel dies
are not suitable for this work for the rea-
son that the wear upon them so enIarges
the die that the diameter of the wire is not
uniform within the required percentage of
variation at the beginning and ending of a
drawing. Sapphires are used sometimes
for this work. Copper, silver and platinum
are the metals usually drawn to the very
small sizes. With diamond dies it il pra &C.
ticable to draw platinum to a diameter of
five ten-thousandths of an inch An idea
of the fineness of a copper wire drawn to
only three one-thouSandths of an inch in
diameter may be gathered from the fact
that in one pound of the metal there are
over six miles of such wire
The weight of the diamonds used for tbfs
work Is from four to five carats and they
are uncut except as to the die. The value
of these dies, which, of course are not of
the first water. varies from SIS to $40 a
carat. and several hundred thousand dol
lars worth of diamonds are utilized as dies
in the various wire factories of this conn
try alone. Skillful, however as must he
the artisans who sink these small dies. and
attenuated as the wires drawn through
them may be, yet neither will stand con-,

Results From Filtration.
ON the Philadelphia Ledger.

Recent statistics of typhoid fever in Phil
adelphia furnish evidence OF the value of
the filtration of the water supply which
amounts to positive demonstration. In a
portion of West Philadelphia still supplied

during four months of the present year, 273
1857, or one in 514. In the adjoining sec
ton. supplied entirely from the Belmont fill
tering plant, there were but seven cases In
a population of Al. 42f. or one in jail
A similar contrast is shown In the north
western portion of the city. The German
town and Roxborough district IS supplied
with filtered water from the RoXborough
beds. In this district, with a population
OF lib. $50, there were thirty-seve1 cases of
typhoid fever, or one in 3,07i In two
nelghboring wards, receiving unfiltered
water, in population of 80. 142, there were
49, cases of typhoid, or one in every SO.
unfiltered water from the Delaware 1,035
cases of typhoid fever occurred in popu-
lation of 144, 9O3-the appalling proportion of
one in 40 The difference between the
two extremes of ratio shown by these fig

Shad.

From the Trenton True American.
Although from year to year the Delaware
river is becoming more and more contain
mated with sewage and refuse, and is con-
tanning more and more detritus and silt
washed from the denuded hill country, the
shad coming from their deep-sea homes are
able to reach Trenton with no appreciate
loss of old-time flavor. The coming of shad
means the coming of spring. When the
word is sent from the fisheries near Peril
wig bar that an ''eight-pound roe" has been
caught it requires no crocuses or robins or
budding magnolia blossoms to tell the story
that winter has gone TO sleep. The shad
brings a sense of independence. Somehow
a piece of planked shad. even though the
accompanying new potatoes are from BeH-
muda the tomatoes from Georgia and the
asparagus from cold storage. stimulates the
tired and jaded spirit into activity. Just
why this should be so is problem as much
psychological a it is physical, and life Is
too short to work out a reason, but 1t IS
none the less true.

curving line to follow the parallel estab-
IShed by the others. Similar trimming dec
crates the sleeves, which are like capes and
have two bands of lace insertion set in

coming on the bottom. There is broad
