Stones Sawed With Diamonds.

There is in use in France a circular
diamond saw for cutting stone. The
diamonds that form the cutting teeth
Of the saw are common crystals, worth
about $3.50 carat, and they are fixed
in steel disk over six feet in diam
eter. which is mounted on a spindle
and revolved by electric power in the
manner in which an ordinary circular
saw is operated. For saving hard
stones there are 200 diamonds in the
cutting edge and the speed is 800 revo-
lutions minute. The saw enters the
stone about one foot in that time. For
soft stones the teeth are of steel, with
diamonds at intervals of every five
teeth, and at a speed of twelve turns
minute the saw advances a yard q
minute. This saw cuts and dresses
the stone on all sides and gives it
sharp outlines. and it accomplishes
its work at one-eighth to one-tenth the
cost Of hand labor.-Harper's Weekly.
