Polishing q Diamond.

The polishing Of diamond is very
slow process, because Of the great
hardness of the material; besides this,
the work must be frequently inter-
rupted to allow the disk to cool out
after it has become overheated by
friction. Each time a new facet Is to
be cut the diamond must be removed
from the dop and reset at another
angle, and the diamond cutter trusts to
his eye alone to guide him In this dell
cate adjustment, although in the case
Of very small diamonds magnify1ng
glass is necessary. The skill shown
in placing the stone In the heated
metal, sometimes with the bare hand,
is surprising. The regular brilliant
has ffty.six facets, besides the table
and the collet-thirty-two above the
girdle and twenty-four below-but as
eight facets are first formed, both
above and below, each Of these being
recut into three or four smaller ones,
there are considerably more than fifty
six separate surfaces to be cut.-Dr:
George r. Kunx in Century.

New Britain has a charter commit tee which voted, Tuesday night, that the Common Council should be empow- cred to enact an ordinance regulating sports and amusements on Sunday. This. if granted by the General Assem- bly,. would practically give local option upon the Sunday law. There would be decided benefits. It would prevent dis putes and litigation over the proper interpretation of the Sunday law, ,and it would enable local sentiment to deter mine precisely what degree of enforce ment should prevail. Also, it would be in accord with a growing sentiment in favor of more liberal Sunday than is now possible under the state law in localities which have, as in Norwalk, specially active and vigilant Minis ters, Association.

MIR. BRYAN'S EXACT POSITION

There have appeared in various newspapers alleged interviews with MT Bryan or his personal friends" in which he has been represented as not a candidate for 1912 and also as a can didate under certain conditions. The result is that no one knows with any degree of precision whether or not he is a candidate, or whether or not he will exercise his undoubtedly great in t1uence to secure the nomination.
 In Munsey's Magazine for March, there appears an article by MT. Bryan, in which, after a review of previous campaigns, he predicts conflict be- tween the progressive. and the reac- tionary clements in the Republican party that may result in the election Of Democratic House in 1910 This would in his opinion. accentuate the issue between progressiveness and re- action, and, he adds:
 @ sFsEE sFEoSE 5aIsRa saasg. sH esIazs aA Be tast s welo6f and that from these a Dem ocrA candidHte can be selected who, by 4he aiG -9f events and with a united party bshlnd @ him. can win 2 national psal
 Clearlx, MT, Rgyan means that such a leader may develop in the contest be- tween a progressive Democratic House and 2 rsactionary Republican Senate, and as he is not likely to become 2 member of the House. MT. Bryan's language pracffcally Eliminates hifnself from the Presidential list.
 z This is the first really authentic de- Hverance from MT. Bryan as to the campaign of 1912, and it is as nearly conclusive as the existing conditions allow.
 He is unqyestionably correct in his prediction of trouble between the two Republican elements. It could not be otherWise after the campaign of con seryatism in the East, and radicaiisn in the West, which resulted in MT. Taft's election. A clash must come; indeed. there are already inldicatianls to such effect.

Lent is now here and, though for malIy observed by only two religious Approximations it exercises a very ma terial influence, particularly upon so- cial life. Many men cut off, during the penitential period one or more. of what may perhaps be called their vices; many women abstain from so- ciety divertisements-of course, they have none of the vices and therefore cannot observe Lent as do altogether too few men. It is well that such a pc riod prevails: it would be better if all would give it some degree of observ- ance
 The Farmer does not feel repentant over it's policies during the past year and yet it desires to temporarily abate some of the vices, of which it is ac- cused by opponents of it's policies. We have, therefore, decided upon a pol icy of silence for the remainder ot the LAnten period as to the shortcom:

 That Bridgeport is not the only city which thinks well of the referendum and is willing to entrust the decision of public questions directly to the peo- pie, is shown by the fact that a special Hartford committee on municipal office building has recommended the submis- sion to the people at the coming city election of the question of appropriat- ing $45o,O0o for the purchase Of a site and the erection of a building. Per haps Mayor Lee of this city who an- tagonizes the referendum, may find food for reflection in this Hartford case, for we cannot believe that he will stigmatize the voters of Bridge port as less competent than those of Hartford to judge alright on public questions.

 Spring is coming, bluebirds and rob- ins have arrived, hens are getting down to active business, and eggs promise to be, if they are not now, cheaper than the products of the Beef Trust. Thus, Lent brings compensa- tions.
