Diamond CUTTING.

It is said that before the fourteenth
century 10 one knew how to cut and
polish diamonds. They were esteemed
for their marvellous hardness, but not
greatly admired for beauty. There is
a tradition that journeyman jeweler
In Flanders, Louis Van Berghem, dis
covered the art of cutting diamond
with diamond. But 1t is probable that
he only made some notable advance In
the art since associations Of diamond
cutters had existed in France and
Flanders from the fourteenth century.
Louis Van Berghem's most famous
achievement was the cutting and pol
fishing Of a huge diamond belonging to
Charles thu Bold. Charles was so de-
lighted with the result that he reward
ed the artist literally and declared
that the diamond would now serve him
for bedroom lamp. This jewel,
which was found on Charles body aft
er the battle OF Nancy. is still in ex.
istence and celebrated under the name
of the Sancy diamond.-Youth's Com

Flying Fish.


Interesting are the habits of the fly
ing fish. that queer denizen Of the sea
found principally In the region of the
trade winds. Does it rise from the sea
like a bird?" you ask. No. 1t shoots
out of the waves like an arrow, and
with outsprcading wings sails on the
wind in graceful curves, rising some
times, one might say, to the height Of
fifteen feet, but not often so high, and
then, lowering, it again touches the
crest Of wave and renews its fight
This operation may be repeated till it
covers distance. say, of 500 yards in
the case of the stoutest on the wing,
though very often not half that dis
lance Is covered. A ship sailing
through the trade winds will often be
visited on dark nights by flying fish
which hit the sails or rigging and fall
on deck, where of course they soon
give up life.-St. Nicholas.
