The culIinan Diamond Cut.
From Harper's Weekly.

-~SA - ~SNAy
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-
mond which was presented to Edward
VII in November, 1907, al a 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, n of these parts weighing
1,040h carats, the other 1,977h carats,
The larger of the two pieces was again
divided, and then the grinding and pol
fishing was begun. The work progressed
without mishap, and was entirely sue
c~essful, as the result shows. There are
two immense brilliants, weighing 510h
and 300 1-16 carats, respectively, a pen
deloque Weighing go carats; a square
brilliant of so carats; a heart-shaped
stone of 1S& carats. The next two are
marquise brilliants, Weighing 11A and
s 9-I6, respectively; a square brilliant
OF 6Ss carats is lei smallest; and the
ninth Is a pendeloque of 49-3z
carats. Ninety-six small brilliants
resulted from the cuttings.
The two largest brilliants are re-
remarkable pieces OF workmanship. AS
a rule, a brilliant has only So facets, but
these have IA and 66, respectively
The extraordinary size OF this larger
stone is manifest when it's weight OF
516M carats is compared with hat OF
the Koh-i-noor, which Is only 100 1-1t
carats. When the rough Cullinan dia-
mond was found by r. Wells, on Jan
uary %, 1906. in the mines of the Pre-.
mier Diamond company, OF South AT.
RIGA, II weighed 8,825& English carats
To realize the size of the stone better
we may state that its length was an
inches, its height ~ inches, It's breadth
2z inches. and its girth varied from
So to ia inches.

A slight MISUNDERSTANDING.

a#."... fIOtn IHo INCW 4OlA ~ EH#-
A lady from South America, pos
sessed OF a decidedly quick temper,
came to New York with a very incom-
plete knowledge of the English Ian
guage. AT her hotel she rang for tbs
chambermaid. But a waiter came In
stead. Having ascertained that the
name Of the chambermaid was Susan!
the lady marshaled her meager knowl1
edge in a desperate effort to make tho
walter understand that he should cali
the chambermaid. What she said to
him, however, was:
"Call me SusanI"
The waiter leaned against the wall
much alarmed.
Call me susan" shouted the South
American.
The waiter became appalled,.
"Call me Susanl" roared the lady,
her eyes ASKING furtously. .
Susan, then-if you will have it,"
exclaimed the poor waiter. Then he
fled precipitately.

Fourteen. Story Church.

Pittsburg Dispatch In New York Herald.
That modern business ingenuity can
~outgeneral even the ironclad rules laid
down by old William Penn val shown
here today when the trustees of the
First United States Evangelical Prot
eBtant German church Of Pittsburg
made public the plans Of what prom
ises to be a unique church building;
1t is a History office building and
church combined. the church of course
being In the middle. offices occupying
the space around IL.
It appears that many years ago this
plot of ground was donated for church
purposes, the restriction being that 1t
''must always and ever be used for
church purposes"
Several churches have come aud
Sixth avenue and Smithfield street, in
the heart OF the downtown district,
while skyscrapers have gone up all
around IL. The congregation cannot
sell and rebuild In the suburbs, as 1t
would like to do and could do at great
profit. so the happy thought was
struck that an Office building and a
church could be combined. The front
elevation of the new edifice shows a
frontage ON Smithfield street, with a
beautiful cathedral style church front
in the center. The church effect rises
with the building for about seven
stories. then permits the Office part to
continue skyward.
There is to be a great chime of bells
In the church, and the whole edifice
will cost not less than $1,000, 900. The
plans call for one OF the most elab-
orateiy finished Office buildings In the
city.
The board OF trustees say they took
legal advice before taking this step in
erecting an office building on property
set aside for church purposes.

CHICAGO READY
FOR BUMPER CROPS
Railroads of the Northwest
Prepare TO Move Farm
Products

CHICAGO. H.. July e9-Big prepara-
tions for big crops at high prices are be-
ing made by Chicago houses for their
trade in the Middle West. where the corn
prospect is beyond parallel in the South.
where cotton promises better than the
average, even II prices are low and In the
Far West and Northwest where there is
every indication Of a bumper crop OF
wheat. The government reports. when d.
vested Of their statistical garb. show that
the potato crop will rival the hay crop.
which is not up TO thar Of 1908. and that
nearly everything but fruit promises big
returns. The only rival to the increased
acreage and prospective%crop Of corn in
the United States is Canada's prospect Of
wheat, amounting this year 20 100000
bushels more than IN 1908.
The reports OF the agents OF the Grand
Trunk Pacific Railroad confirm the figures
Of the provincial governments. and the
figures were further supported recently
by ID. d. Mann. vloe-president OF the
Canadian Northern Railway. after a g.
O00-mile tour Of the western provinces.
Comparing this with the 7,l2s O0O-acre in
crease Of corn, ~ per cent. he said;
From present indications the 1903 wheat
crop In Canada will exceed 10000 900 bush
els. The acreage under crop has been in
creased this year about 20 per cent condi-
tions have been ideal all through the
summer, the rains coming just when
needed. and It looks now as II we might
expect a 1000 per cent. yield Railroads
in the United States are not besiirring
themselves with preparations for the big
corn increase as those of Canada are
rushing work to handle the food Of wheat
The Grand Trunk Pacific has completed
its line into Edmonton within the last
few days. and is rushing work on its great
lakes outlet.
'The $4,000 American settlers who have
crossed into Canada in the last few years,
under the excellent prospects for a big
crop, are. and have cause TO be, very con-
tented with their lot" was the comment ct
one big Canadian railroad man. AS a re-
suit the Canadian trade has come 70 be
a big item with many Chicago houses, ow-
ing to the preference OF the Americans for
American goods.

BLOW FOR THE
BASKET HAT
The TOque Russ, SIOped Like
a COSSaCk Helmet, Now the
DiCtum of Dame Fashion

NEW YORK, July 29.-The peach
basket is doomed. Not because of the
failure of the peach crop. but because
Paris DEGREES that no longer shall mi
lady hide her light under bushel, with
the contents tackled TO the outside.
In its place Dame Fashion has de-
vised something new This is the
Toque Russ, or Polonais. a creation of
fur built like the chacet Of a drum
major quite as high as to altitude and
much higher as 70 price.
The new hat, Of which rumors have
reached the country by cable. made its
first appearance in this country when
the North German Lloyd steamer
Kronprinz Wilhelm reached her pier
from Bremen.
Among her passengers was the man
who made the Merry Widow bonnet
famous, and who brought here the
celebrated Alice Roosevelt chapeau
This importer brought with him 200
.of the new hats. and a peep into his
treasure boxes permitted an advance
view of what feminine America will
be wearing this season.
The hats, which are made entirely OF
fur. arc the shape of "A '.Os sack helmet
A visor shading the eyes and COM
pletely hiding the brow leads back
ward and upward until the peak Is
reached at an elevation Of twelve to
eighteen inches, according to the
wearers pleasure.
From the apex there extends up
ward a spray Of aigrettes six to eight
cen inches tall.
In the rear the toque falls TO the
shoulders which it fits closely. cling
ing 10 the head like the skull cap Of
youth. only keeping just abadt the
ears
With this new creatiDl, miladys
glory-her harris hidden. Hence the
elaborate rats, and puffs. and curls.
and birds nests, 10 which she has
pinned her faith and has pinned to
her head, will have 10 be cast away.
The marcelle wave and the curling
iron, too, must go, for miladys Golf
fure will be built a la base ball. It
will be as plain and smooth as a brand
new leather sphere. This is made nee
essary by the new hat, which fits II
like a glove.
The toque Russ was first seen in
Paris at the Chatelet during the Rus
sian opera season. where II was worn
/ by the members OF the company
1t Immediately was taken up by Nine
Reiane in her play "LImperatrice
and by Nine. Sorel in La Rencontre.' '
and in a week was the rage Of the
, city. 1t is the only hat now being
shown by the Partisan milliners.

CHAUTAUQUA, n. Y, July 29.-"Afr.
Hartman IS a great railway admins
traitor, but he is a pest financially. The
Government would be wise to pay him
a million dollars a year to continue his
work OF consolidating the railroads OF
the country and TO keep out Of finance. '
This frank opinion was given here by
Prof Charles Zueblin, sociologist, Of Bos.
ton and former professor in the Unlver.
sity Of Chicago, in the course OF a
.scathing arraignment Of the modern bus.
mess man, in which he declared that the
business man who possesses courage
character and culture is a rarity.
As bad examples he made thinly yelled
references to Marshall Field. A. J. Cas-
satt and Russell Sage and then turned
to Hartman, declaring that there was
nothing personal in his statements. but
that these men simply typify the existing
industrial system.
The business man In general Mr.. zue-
bin attacked with equal fearlessness.
His sway is well nigh complete" he
declared HE is the master Of industry.
he controls the means of subsistence
and communication. he subsizes educa-
tion and art I'm his own whimsical fash
ion, he harries the President and the SUI
preme Court, he shapes the moral code.
'The decaloque has been supplanted by
the business mans trilogy: Business Is

Business is business is the mascu-
line equivalent Of thefeminine because

II the business man would stick 20 hls
