Completing his investigation in the death of ChiItson E. Wilmot, the trolley conductor whose head was crushed Wednesday evening on a Beardsley park car. Coroner Phelan says he believes 10 foot centres in the layout of the trolley tracks on Noble avenue would be a safeguard against similar mishaps.

Diamond cieavino.

The art of the lapidary is one of the most delicate empleyments of mechan- ical force known. The practical dia- mond cutter learns many facts about precious stones which are sealed books even to mineralogists.. For instance, 1t is the lapidaries who have found out that diamonds coming from the different districts vary remarkably in their degrees of hardness. It appears that the hardest diamonds come from New South Wales. An unfamiliar fact is that diamonds are made to assume approximately the. required shape by sitting and cleaving and by "bruting," which b the rubbing of one diamond against another, before they are sub mitted to the polishing wheel. Tn cleaving the diamond is cemented on the end of a wooden stick and steel blade is driven with smart blow in the direction of the natural plane of cleavage. Diamonds that have been cut by the lapidary's wheel lack some of the brilliance possessed by those that have simply been cleaved.-New York Press.

 A hundred years ago the Rev.

It new CT occurred to him that these insur- gent spirits were carrying with them to the wilderness a precious energy and initiative. The unprosperous, the ,shfftless and the migratory sought the frontier, to be sure, but the enterpris- ing, too, were attracted by it.
