ENGRAVING ON DIAMONDS.
This DinicuIt Work II Performed
Very ArtisticaIIy.

This DimcuIt Work II Performed
Very ArtisticaIIy.
Engraving on diamonds can be per-
formed in a very effective manner. 1t
is true a few not very artistically en-
graved stones were found in India,
and a diamond on which the portrait
Of the king Of Holland was engraved
was shown at the Paris exhibition in
1873. But the work was lmperfectly
executed, and the stones looked as If
they had been deadened rather than
polished. Recently, however, accord
ing to the Edelmentall Industrie, the
Paris jeweler, Bordinot, has produced
some very beautiful specimens Of en-
cravings on diamonds. Among other
things, he has made yataghan having
a thin diamond for the blade and
ruby for the handle. Worthy Of no
tice also are a large circular stone on
which a pansy with leaves is cut and
a knife made Of two diamonds. A
very artistic piece Of work is a bicy-
Gle having two diamonds for fits wheels,
the spokes Of which are represented by
lines cut In the diamonds and the axles
by two holes bored through the cen
tiers. Another diamond is cut in the
shape Of fish, and a very beautiful
brooch consists Of a scaFabaeus sur
rounded by sapphires and brilliants
The most remarkable Of all is a ring
made Of q diamond. The inner sur
face is polished and the outer surface
artistically engraved. There are also
brooches in the form Of flies, the wings
being represented by thin engraved
diamonds; also diamonds with armorial
bearings-e. g., shirt studs and sleeve
links with the Russian arms engraved
on them. Formerly only fat surfaces
could be polished, but Bordinot has
succeeded in polishing concave parts,
as, for instance, the body and tail Of a
fish and the inner surface OF a ring.
With his tools he can not only make
straight lines, but also model freely.
These tools are his own invention, and
it is stated that only his son is allowed
to use them. They are the result OF
many years labor, Of fne workman
ship and very diflcult to handle. Only
within the last few years has IT been
possible to bore holes IN diamonds and
arrange them alternately with pearls
on string. This work is now regular
ly done In diamond cutting establish.

DRAINED muck
LANDS WILL
BURN
Hon. J. A. Whidden Tells of DiSaS'
trOuS Effect of BrUWard'S
Scheme on Lands.

Bearing out the conclusion reached
by the noted engineer, Christopher
Malin, in regard to the final disas-
tTous result of draining the Everglades
as proposed by Governor Broward,
says the Jacksonville Times Union
and with every fact stated one that
has come under the personal observa-
ton of the afflant, the affidavit of for
mer State Senator J. w. Whidden
filed in the case of the Southern
Southern States Land & Timber Com
pany, VS.. n. B. BrOwaTd as governor,
ei al is one of the most interesting
and important papers that the big
suit has yet brought forth.
Further value is added to the teSti-
mOny of Senator Whidden because Of
the fact that he is a native of Florida
and thoroughly acquainted with the
conditions that prevail in the proposed
drainage district. He is a native Of
southern Florida, and for forty years
has resided in Manatee and DeSOto
counties.
He is now 81 years of age, and his
life has been an eventful one. He
fought in the Seminole War and trav-
ersed through all sections Of lower
Florida. For p years he was a men,
Der of the legislature, serving 10
years in the House and II in the
Senate.
Danger From Fire.
In his affidavit Senator Whidden
states that he is thoroughly familiar
with the conditions that prevail in the
counties included in the drainage dis
trict, and with the effect that fire
has upon the marsh and saw-grass
and muck lands Of that section. In
speaking of the danger from fire, he
says;
Il have seen the saw-grass in the
OkeechObee swamp along the shore
of Lake Okeechobee. In dry seasons
l have seen the fire burn for six
weeks. In some places the holes burn
ed out are as much as ten feet deep.
81 have seen it burning, off and on,
for many years, ever since the Disson
Drainage Canals were cut, but the
worst year was in 1898, when most Of
the damage was done. / do not re-
member to have seen this muck land
burn before these canals were cut, and
1t is the atlantis opinion that the saw
grass marshes OF the Everglades
would burn in the same way if allow
ed to become dry"
No Benefit 20 Pine Lands.
'In the atlantis opinion" continues
the affidavit, ''the lowering Of Lake
Okeechobee would benefit the marshes
and prairies that drain toward the
lake, but he does not believe it would
benefit the pine lands embraced with
in the district.
1T would certainly not benefit the
high sand-hill ridge, stretching south
to the west Of Lake Istolpoga from
Avon Park in the northwest corner
of the drainage district down south
to Venus, at the head of F1sheating
Greek.
I'm the afiant's opinion the drain
age Of cypress swamps is not bene-
fetal to the timber The cypress tree
naturally needs water and the drain
age of the lands exposes it to fire,
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1906-02-24

with the result that the timber is
seriously injured and in some cases
killed.
The af1ant has seen at the head
OF Bee Branch, creek that empties
into the Caloosahatchee, near Fort
Denaud, body Of cypress that had
been killed by fire, fire having burned
>out the muck on which the ttmb5r
stood"
Supports Engineers Conclusion.
This affdavit, based solely on the
absolute facts that Senator Whidden
has seen himself, supports In every
detail the conclusions reached by En-
gineer Christopher Malin, through
the logical following out Of the effects
Of certain well defined causes.
He reached the conclusion that the
character Of the land was sueh thar,
when drained, it became almost like
peat, and that it would naturally burn
readily. When once on fire, he ar.
gued, 1t would be necessary 20 flood
the district again in order to extin-
gu1sh 1t, as otherwise it woald con-
tinue to burn, beneath the surface.
mayhap, until it reached water.
Senator Whiddens affidavit bears
out the truth OF this conclusion, and
shows where such effects have actual
iy resulted from the drying of the
land by means of the Disston Drain.
age Canals.
Still Other Evidence.
Another affidavit filed in the case is
that of S. H. Bullock, Of Osceola coun.
ty, practical real estate man and
one interested in cattle-raising. In
touching on the results of the drain.
age OF the Everglades in the three
classes of land which he finds in the
new drainage district, the affiant saws:
That the most valuable lands are
the cypress lands. The effect of
draining the cypress swamps would be
disastrous. Experience has proven
that when cypress is drained the
muck, which forms the soil of the
cypress swamps, catches fire and de-
stroys the timber Water is the only
protection Of this valuable timber
against the fires that sweep annually
over this section of the country,
On Cher Lands.
AAdl IL4C lduuS uSAI III value are
the timber lands, and upon the sand
hill pine lands drainage can have no
effects whatever, while upon the fat
wood pine the effect would be inap,
preciable.
THAT the next In value are the
marsh and prairie lands, the chief val.
ne of which is for grazing. The eff,
feet Of drainage on the prairie land
is injurious, the removal of water dry
ing out the natural grasses and MAX
ing the soil bald and bare; but drain.
age benefits the marsh lands for graz
ing purposes"
This shows that of the three classes
OF land only one. and that least valu.
able, would be benefited, while the
most valuable land would be practi-
cally ruined.

NARROWING DETAILS or HARD.
SHIPS ATTENDING WRECK
or THAT VESSEL.

The Miami Metropolis of Feb. 20
publishes the following from its Key

". T. Eden, captain Of the Inflated
schooner, Richard K. Fox, arrived
from Havana Thursday night. He re.
ports that on January 18th, at $3.50 p.
NJ, the wrecked vessel stranded in
latitude 1874, longitude 9150. For
eleven days and nights the crew did
their utmost to save the schooner
and that on the morning of the 22d
a heavy norther came on and forced
the abandonment as related in further
detail in the marine note of probate
as follows
The vessel now lies completely
wrecked on Laguna Bar, lat 1881,
longitude 91.51., owing to sand bars
not marked on chart, probably newly
formed. The captain states the
Richard K. Fox arrived off Laguna
Bar, Jan. 18th, at 2:30 p. m, steering
southwest by west and one man

Schooner was dragging 10 feet when
touched aft on bank, went to tack,
but missed stays; lowered down all
sail as quickly as possible. Let go
the port anchor which parted the
chains. Let go starboaro anchor,
which also parted. We then took
five pig irons, each weighing $50
pounds and made them fast with wire
rope, then took the boat and went
ashore for assistance. Got a large
boat, one anchor and coil Of heavy

having been held fast by the pig iron
and almost aflOat. On January 18th
had the vessel afioat but owing to
strong wind and current the line part
ed from the improvised anchor and
the schooner driftsG back on the
bank.
''Then to tighten the vessel l called
for a lighter and removed all OF the
ballast, consisting Of heavy pig iron
but even then we could not get the
boat afoat.
1--WE got another anchor from
ashore; tied a line and chain to it
and moving inch by inch and kept it
taut as possible. On the 14th day the
chief pilot went ashore and sent me
chief official pilot, who stayed with us
until Tuesday, when the third came
out and assisted Us materially.
"On the 22d in the morning a very
heavy norther came UP which drove
the vessel about a half mile in and
which wouhd have helped her over the
bar but the pumps got choked and
would not work When the vessel
got on the bank the second time on
the 18th, she started to leak and to-
keep her afoat the pumps had to be
worked night and day. The nOrther
started such a fearful sea that to save
our lives we had to leave it in boats
and try to reach the shore.
Before leaving I was forced to let
go the anchor and the vessel now
lies on a bank with four feet Of water
in the hold. If the line and schooner
hold out during the norther now
blowing I expect to save something
from the wreck"
