AMERICA HAS ONLY CTS
EXPERT DIAMOND CUTTERS

NEW YORK, May l9-Henri Polak,
president of the Diamond Workers
union In Amsterdam, estimates there
are rs, 900 diamond cutters and polish
ers in the world. or these, only about
675 are in the United States and these
have come mostly since the outbreak
OF the European war which crippled
the industry In Amsterdam and Ant
werp, the worlds great centers. There
were at the beginning Of the present
year Sc diamond cutting establishments
IN this country. This Is exclusive of
shops where all kinds OF precious stones
are cut.
The number of Germans employed
s diamond cutters did not exceed COO
before the val and OF these only rs
per cent worked for establishments In
Germany. During the war 800 or 100
Belgian cutters omigrated to England
and organized as a branch Of the Lon
don Diamond Cutters union. They did
work principally for Belgian and Rus
sian houses.
Diamond cutting In the United States
dates hack to 1879, In that year S17e,-

SeaWeed Is Mixed
In With Stag To
Form NeU Cement


LONDON, May IA novel use has
been found here for seaweed. Combined
with crushed Stag and other heretofore
neglected waste mineral products. 1t is
used to make a kind of concrete out of
which are being fashioned building
bricks and blocks. The seaweed acts
as a binding and strengthening ele-
ment.
Arrangements are being made to put
up q large number of houses composed
entirely Of these blocks, and it is pre-
dicted that the material, owing to its
cheapness, will aid in solving the hous-
ting problem.
Not only the foundations and walls,
but the doors, window frames and man
telpieces are to be constructed of the
new concrete, The houses are to be
made in sections and bolted together.
The window frame Is a new idea in
itself. The glass, in n large pane,
slips into a slot and the edges OF meld-
ing are then turned over, so as to grip
1t. To mend a broken window will be a
simple matter and will not require the
services of a glazier.
It is said that dwellings made of the
concrete will be warm and thoroughly
damp proof.
