Machine Sorts Diamonds.

WHEN the laborers descend int"
the diamond mines at Kimber-
ley, they blast and pick out the hard
diamantiferous earth and place it in
wires to the surface, where the earth
is spread over the ground TO undergu
for several months the softening in
f1uences OF heat and cold. When II
is soft enough ii is shoveled into the
washing machines, where the dirt IS
separated from the rough diamonds
and other large mineral substances.
The mixture Of minerals remaining is
known as concentrates 1t was for
merly necessary to go carefully over
these concentrates TO pick out tho
garnets and many other foreign sub
stances, until nothing remained but
the rough diamonds. This was slow
and laborious operation, but it was
an essential part of the mining in
dustry until it was superseded not SO
many years ago.
Among the employees in the ScrtinE
room was a youth by the name of
Kersten who went quietly to work
to find a way TO separate the dla-
monds from other stones more quick
ly and more easily than could be
dome nv the slow process of hand
r,ckine. He was not discouraged by
his many failures to find that way.
One day. by the merest chance, the
how made the discovery that he was
seeking. A rough diamond and
garnet happened to be lying on
small board on the bench where he
was working. He raised ono end Of
the board. The garnet slipped off,
hut the diamond remained. He found
that there was a scoating of grease
on the board that had retained the
diamond but not the garnet.
The boy procured a wider board.
coated the side OF it with grease, and
dumped a few handfuls of concen-
trate on it. Then he found that, ny
holding the board in a slightly IN
clined position and vibrating 1t, all
the concentrates except the DIAMONDS
moved to the lower end and fell of,
while the diamonds renamed IN
place.
Then the boy invented machine
by which his discovery might be uJi-
lized. Considerable study was :e-
uuired to perfect it, but at last the
machine was completed and the dis
mond magnates were invited to wit
ness the new method of separating
diamonds from the rest of the con-
centrates-
The invention was an entire sue
cess. A moro simple and complete
device for saving time, labor and loss
of diamonds could not be imagined
The entire work is row done by ma
chinery, hand picking has been Who'll
ly superseded, and both the inventor
and the mine owners have rrofited
hansomely by the labcr-saving ma
chine.

One of the men chanced to be clip

called to him to fetch the musical in
strument from the tonneau OF Mr..
Rudel's machine. He dropped his
shears and departed at once.
Are you going to sing me nice

Geoffrey. after a brief minute, picked
II up and strummed q few minor
ohords-plaintive chords full OF mys-
terry and lamentation. Then he be-
gan to sing.
IT have Travelled many lands
In quest of my girl OF dreams,

For the slim, pale girl who stands,
Luring with slim pale hands

To vanish before my eyes,

Audrey said nothing for a while.
Then, when she did speak. she stam-
mered a little. Am L to suppose
that am the-the girl of clay?'
He bowed.
Had your name been accented on
the last syllable" he said. II should
have substituted Audrey far away in
the next to last line. Perhaps It
would be better like that anyhow:

LIE HELD out his hand. She was
