WOMEN CUT DIAMONDS.
Most Delicate Work Now Generally
Entrusted to Feminine Hands.

Most Delicate Work Now Generally
Entrusted to Feminine Hands.
Women have always excelled in the
art of wearing diamonds. but how
many people know that they excel in
the art of cutting them, too. Yet they
do, says the New York Tribune. Word
comes from Amsterdam, III the an
nual report of Frank d. Hill, consul
at that Dutch port, that in a great
diamond cutting factory there women
are entrusted with the most delicate
and difficult part of the processes.
It is an important industry in Am
aerdam, is diamond cutting. Thous-
ands of the gems that come from the
mines in South Africa are taken to
that city to be split and cut and pol
ished, made over from rough stones
into the sparkling wells of light that
shine on women's necks. In this
factory where women are employed
over 100000 diamonds were cut and
polished in one year. For thirty years
only men were employed, but in 1875,
as ali experiment, a few women were
taken on land so dexterous did they
prove that now the most important
part, the cutting of the diamonds, is
done by them.
When the rough gems come in they
are first taken in hand by men. They
do the splitting-that is, divide the
stones that have flaws into pure and
fawless gems. The men do this by
hand, holding the diamond, which
has been firmly waxed, in little
frame, in one hand, and with the
other pressing the diamond-tipped tool
On the weak spot where the flaw is III
The stone.
Then the women take the divided
sections and perfect them. 1t is a
ticklish task, this diamond cutting
and trying to the eyes. Some of the
4 diamonds are SO minute that 400 OF
them will weigh less than half a
carat Yet even the most infnitesi-
nal angle on their surface must be
detected and cut off. The diamonds
ARE still held by being waxed in lit
tie frame and before the women burn

melted gas is needed. For eight hours
a day the women work, skillfully

fmond-tipped tools. And they receive

living is not so expensive in Amster-
dam as it is in America and these wo-
men have at least pleasant place to
work in. A shop has been built for
them right on the quay, close to the
factory, and they have it all to them
selves, and plenty of large windows
to give them light. Fortunately for
them, light is necessary for their
work

in California, one in Mexico, one in the
State of Washington, one between Mia
CARA and Toronto and one between Mia
CARA and Syracuse. These range IN
length from, 70 to 21S miles, and two
of them have been put in operation only
within the last few months. Finally,
there is promise of a new record being
made in Southern California. Two or
three years ago work was undertaken
on the Kern River with view to sup
plying Los Angeles with electric power,
the capacity of the station being up
ward of 10000 horsepower. 1t seems
adopt pressure of $1,000 volts on this
line, which is 1928 miles long, but the
manufacturer of some of the equipment
declares that 70, 600 volts will be tried
and the result of the experiment ought
soon to be known.
The first effect of any such demon
stration, no doubt, will be to encourage
the projectors of new lines elsewhere to
undertake to reach more distant COM
munities than could otherwise he eco
nomcally served, or, if no temptation
of that kind offers, to lessen the amount
of metal they use-an exceedingly in
viting possibility in view of the extra
ordinary rise in the price of copper Of
late years. Any revival of the PROPOSE
ton to supply New York City from Mia
CARA is apparently precluded by the check
put on further power development at the
Falls by the federal government, but
equally ambitious schemes in other parts
of the world would be promoted by a
conspicuous gain in the voltages which
can be employed Perhaps, too, the cleo
trio power companies which have done
pioneer work for the world may be led
to consider whether they can profit by
the revelation An increase in pressure
on their lines would involve the use of
new insulators, longer cross arms than
were at first adopted and change in
transformers. The last mentioned item
of expense would be formidable but il
there was reasonable prospect of meet.

vice for purposes of reconstruction, ano
no trouble on that score would he an

When the first practical attempt was
made about fifteen years ago to convert
the power of waterfall into electricity,
SO that it could be used at distance
from its source, the necessity arose for
solving a number of new problems. In
general way it was known that the
size of the conductor used for the trans
mission of a current must bear some
relation to the volume of the latter
To actuate Geographic instruments hun
dreds of miles from the sending station
through a slender thread of metal was
practicable because only very little
electricity was required. To send sever
al hundred horse power even a dozen
miles away was a different proposition.
A corresponding increase in the quantity
of iron or copper used for the service
was out of the question. No pole line
would carry it, and its cost would be
enormous. There was another way,
however, to deal with the difficulty. By
increasing the pressure, or voltage, it
was feasible to accomplish the same re-
suit, but the principle could not be APP

calculation and much experiment for the
