For instance, It 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 dia-

is the rubbing Of one diamond against

There is no doubt as to the stability

one of the most pleasant diversions
