PROCURE OIL FROM BIRDS
Arc Especially Favored in Re- spect of Light.

The price of coal oil is matter of no interest to the inhabitants of the island of St. Kilda, favorite haunt of that animated oil can, the fulmar, observes the Cincinnati Commercial Tribune. So rich In oil is this sea bird that the natives simply pass a wick through its body and use it as a lamp.
 The oil is also one of the principal articles exported from the island.
 It is found in the birds stomachs, is amber colored and has peculiarly nauSeOus OdOr. The old birds are said to feed the young with 1t. and when they are caught or attacked they light en themselves by disgorging it. In St. Kilda it is legal to kill the full mars only during one week in the year; but during that week from 1S,OOC to 10000 birds are destroyed.
 The mutton bird of the Antarctic also carries its oil in the stomach and can eject this oil through the nostrils as means of defense against ene- mics.
 Quantities of mutton birds are slaughtered every year for their oil on the coasts of Tasmania and New Zea- land. In its composition and proper ties this oil closely resembles sperm oil.

kniuhts Not All Noble.

Not all knights belonged to the sub- lime order of chivalry. The pages of history tell of wild robber knights who came out of their mountain cas. ties to loot monasteries and rob the merchants who passed with their wares from town to town. Strange legends are woven about the careers of some of these fiery marauders. It is said that one of them, with the easy and comfortable name of Thedal Unver habit of using Satan himself for [ steed when he rode out with predatory Intent. A grim contrast was this class to the splendid youths who buckled on their swords in the cause of re ligion and right.

HOW DIAMOND CUTTERS WORK
Rough Stone Is Considered Fit for Personal Adornment.

Few people who wear diamonds know the story that lies behind them. To most of them the diamond Is an agreeable means of personal decora- that attracts the eye in a jewellers window and is pur- chased an hour or so later in its cOm- fortable setting of platinum or gold.
 But let us see what lies beyond. Let us glimpse the long road that stretches There are three processes in the con- version of the rough stone into fash ing brilliance. The first one consists in cleaning the course stone of defec- tive parts and splitting off the flaws. The second Is the cutting, which gives the stone its form and, in a rough way, determines the number of faces 1t shall have Finally, there is the pol ishing. which gives to these faces their clearness and brilliancy.
 The sawyer, when he finds a flaw, inserts the diamond into sort or cup filled with a fusible cement. Then, by means of an instrument fur nished with a recently cut diamond, the edge of which projects sharply, he rubs on one of the stones the pointed end of the other, after which he strikes lightly in order to separate the two pieces.
 The cutter uses somewhat similar in- struments to the sawyer. He forms only about one-half of the faces, leav' ing it to the polisher to form the re mainder.
 The diamond is then polished on an iron plate rotating rapidly and 1mpreg' mated with diamond dust and oil. 1t is set in an alloy of lead and tin in the form of cone, of which the stone oc- cupies the summit The operation, as described in the Modern Hospital, takes long time and requires the ex- ercise of extreme patience, but the re- suit is certainly in every sense of the word a "brilliant' one.

Here's a Walters Problem.

recent barbers' strike in England raises once again the matter of tips. How and to what extent we shall tip Is one of the minor problems of life and one that certain eccentrics have solved fin unconventional fashion, observes the Manchester Guardian. A waiter in one of the New York "swell' restaurants told of a man who on sitting down to dinner tore a $5 bill in half and gave him one-half, telling him that he should have the other if he gave him satisfac- tion. "I took pains to serve him poor ly," said the waiter afterward, "to show him that I did not care for his money. I was so careless that when he was leaving he refused me the other half. I pointed out to him that the piece he had was no good to him as it was and offered to buy it from him for $2. He thought deeply minute and declined. Then I offered to sell him my half for $3; somehow or other this appealed to him and he bought 1t and seemed happy. I'll bet he hasn't stopped figuring out yet whether he won or lost. One thing he's sure of he didn'" +ip the waiter"
