the tax alone, and that the law as

Drilling With Diamonds.

diamond bit for rock drilling is
quite an expensive article. It's value,
however. will undergo fluctuations, de.
pendent upon the price of the dia
monds. Perhaps $500 is a fair value
for bit. The diamond used is eX
ceedingly hard-harder than these
usually used as jewelry. Their carar
price Is considerable. averaging. say.
$50 carat. The diamonds used will
weigh from one TO two 'carats, so that
eight have value ranging from S4SU
to $500, on the average. The loss or
a bit means so many diamonds gone
and may lead to difficulty with the
hole. The diamond is not rough. but
brittle. 1t will withstand heavy
pressure If applied evenly and with
out shock. 1t can readily be, seen that
drilling through seamy rock may be
come quite unfavorable. II there Is

This is a very wise action as it en-
courages the teachers by making
it possible, to keep the entire
