Diamond cIeavina.

The art of the lapidary Is one of the
most delicate cmployments 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. 1t 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 is the rubbing of one diamond
against another, before they are sub
mitted to the polishing wheel. In
cleaving the diamond is cemented on
the end OF 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 cleavcd.-New

A SQUIRREL WITH NERVE.
Survived Its Wild Leap Over a Cliff to
Escape Captivity.

Escape Captivity.
1t may not be generally known that
the squirrel. can leap from great
height. break It's fall in its descent and
aligbt uninjured. A naturalist once
saw a squirrel leap from a treetop
thirty feet high. drop TO the ground
and run up another tree for safety.
Some boys in Mexico caught black
squirrel nearly as big as cat. II had
once escaped from them 10y leaplng
from the top Of n sixty foot pine tree.
They thought II bewitched and want
cd to throw it down a precipice sew
cral hundred feet deep. A traveller
interviewed to obtain fair play.
The squirrel was conveyed In pill
lowcase to the edge or the cliff, then
let out, that he might take the choice
between captivity and the terrible
leap. The crouchlng squirrel looked
down the abyss, then backward and
sideways, bis eyes glistening.
Seeing no escape except in front, he
took flying leap into space and flut
tered rather than fell into the abyss
His legs worked like those of swim

slightly elevated. spread out like fan.

where he could be seen squatting on
his hind legs and smoothing his ruff
