Tho culIinan DIAMOND Cut.
From Harper's Weekly.

The two largest and most brilliant
diamonds in the world are possessed
by the king of England. These stones
were cut from the great Cullinan dia-
mono which was presented to Edward
VII In November, 1907, as q birthday
gift from the Transvaal government.
The cutting was done at Amsterdam
and occupied nine months.
On February 10, last, the great Gull
Imam diamond was split into two parts
as the first step In the delicate oper-
alton. one OF these parts weighing
l,O40h carats, the other 1,977h carats.
The larger Of the two pieces was again
divided, and then the grinding n poll
1shtng was begun The work progressed
without mishap, and was entirely sue
c%essful, as the result shows. There are
two immense brilliants, Weighing 5101a
and 309 Lis carats, respectively, a PEN
deloque Weighing 90 carats: a square
brilliant OF 81 carats: q h~eart-shaped
stone OF 18A carats. The next two are
marquise brtlliants, Weighing Tx and
8 9-16, respectively: q square brilliant
OF 81 carats Is next smallest; and the
ninth one Is q pendeloque OF 9-33
carats. Ninety-six small brilIiants
resulted o h cuttings.
The W largest brillfants are re-
remarkable pieces Of workmanship. AS

GREAT FOOTBALL Event
AT YALE TOMORROW
West Point Tragedy Will Not Affect
Enthusiasm or Attendance-Big
Crowd Predicted.

New Haven, Conn, Nov. 12.-It is
evident that the recent tragedy at
West Point Will have no effect on
the attendance or enthusiasm at the
Yale Princeton game here tomorrow.
With good football weather, it is en-
tirely likely that one of the biggest
crowds in New Ravens history will
be on hand to root for the Ellis and
the Tigers The anticipated attend
ance is 200 The Yale men pre-
serve an air of supreme confidence,
and entertain the theory that the
Princeton Tiger Will be humbled
much more effectively than the Tam
many Tiger in the recent election in
New York
An attempt has been made to Sc
cure the attendance OF President
Taft at tomorrow's game. The
president is in Connecticut today, at
tending the inauguration of Presi-
dent Shanklin at Wesleyan University
,hen the President was at Yale, he
manifested little interest in football,
rowing being at that time the elias
sier sport His son, Robert, who is
now a Yale senior, is not a football
fan, ana rarely appears at the games
as a spectator. He is more interest
ed in acquiring an education and
maintaining a place in Yale society
than in sport, and is president in
several Yale societies.

Mercedes, experimenting the work
of transferring the affairs of the
bank to the new management. The
names of Mr. McGary and w. II. Las
finger will be added TO the board
of directors at a meeting OF tha'
body which viii be held soon. A
new president will also be elected at

ued to the board of directors.
