more important than the play, but the
stakes are high at that. At Deau-
vile 1t Is very common to have 900.
600 francs, $4,000, on the table in
the baccarat room, depending upon
the turn OF a card. But when stakes
are that high the players are men who
know what they are doing In fact
the Greek syndicate has not been
making its usual big cleanup at bac-
carat. because the players are keen,
too. They used to count on a 10 per
cent advantage, due to their superior
knowledge OF the game and the suck
nrs who dropped fifty to a hundred
thousand francs and let it go. Now
adays the member of the syndicate
who happens to be playing for the
crowd does not take the shoe" un-
less he sees between a million and
two million in sight. Tables where
there Is only likely to be three or four
hundred thousand francs no longer
tempt the Greeks because they know
they have to play on a narrower
margin.
or course, no players can be com
pared with the Greeks. because they
have bottomless backing and are on

DIAMONDS USED AS ORNAMENTS
BY CREEKS PRIOR TO YEAR 400 B. G..
Hard Mineral in Cutting Canoes at Very Early
Period-Trade Definitions Listed.

Diamonds were used by the Greeks
ornamentally prior to 400 Be. and
1t is known that both Greek and
Roman gem engravers used fragments
OF some hard mineral In cutting
canoes, yet there is no pos tive evi-
dence that either nation used dia-
monds industrially. 1t Is to the civili-
cation Of tho east that credit for the
earliest progress In the Industrial uses
OF diamonds must be given. which
certainly antedates 1000 AID.
Many people think of diamonds only
as luxuries, overlooking the grea I
economic value and Industrial use
There are three we'll defined varieties
OF diamonds. all Of which are used
industrially; first. the crystalized or
gem variety; second, bort. form of
confused crystalline structure. and
third. carbonado the black diamond)
an impure mass Of small diamond
crystals. forming rock OF compact
texture without cleavage. In the
trade the definition of gem and car
bonado are followed, but the term
bort" is extended to all impure dia-
monds, including the fragments and
powder OF the gem variety.
Found Only in Bahia, Brazil.
Carbonate in commercial quantities
d.,
Brazil, where II occurs In stream
gravels associated with the gem dia-
monds. Although the black diamond
OF Brazil was discovered in 184S, it
was not until 1865 that the actual
commercial production Of the stone
began. In the early days of the
industry carbonado was of such low
value that it was sent to Amsterdam
in ordinary kegs. In 1s43 it was
worth ! cent per carat: from 1850 TO
1870 it was worth 20 cents per carat
carat. From 1879 to 1924. however
the price rose from 90 cents to S12O
per carat. The production of car
bonado In Brazil Is approximately 25,-
QUO caratS RAnuaily, with an estimated
value Of $1,000. 900
True bort occurs in the Brazilian n
alluvfal deposits, in the South African
alluv1al mines and in the British
Guiana alluvial fields. The price Of
bort varies according to the grade and
size Of the stones a nd averages 20 per
cent OF that Of carbonado. The world $
production Of bort is between l,S00 900
and 100000 carats per year with a
value Of about $4,000 900.
Industrial Diamonds i'm Demand.
Industrial diamonds have been very
much In demand in recent years be-
cause Of the fact that their use great
ly increases the speed of manufactur-
Ing and at the same time improves
the quality and accuracy Of many
manufa ctured produces. The war no
tably broadened the mand America
due to its highly developed imdustri
is the largest consumer Of industrial
diamonds.
The relative importance OF the nu-
merous uses OF industrial diamonds is
as follows: !. Lathe tools thort and
carbonadol: ?. Diam dust tall varie
ties): 8. Diamond dies for wire draw
ing fgem stones and some BALLAST; 4.
Diamond drills 0argely carbonado): D.
Glass cutting (small bort and gem
stones).
Diamonds are cut into various
shapes and set in lathe tools which
are used for a large number Of pur-
poses. The most important and a
constantly increasing use Of such
Evening star., 1925-10-12

tools is in truing abrasive wheels so
that they function properly. Stones
weighing from | TO 8 carats are used
for this purpose. and when the stones
are badly worn they are reset and
used for truing smaller wheels. SO
important Is the resettinR Of stones
for this purpose that the position Of
diamond setter in the larger automo-
bile factories is now well established
Diamond-Set Lathe Tools Used.
Diamond-set lathe tools arc ulso
used for cutting tough substances.
such as hard rubber, ebonite. vulca-
mite, ivory, electric-light carbons. in
pen manufacturing. tobacco pipe max
Ing and for the shaping and finishing
of rdrubber parts OF water meters
and insulating devices. Approximately
100 900 pen pieces can be cut with
out resetting the diamond In such
tools. Another of its uses is to shape
felt rolls used in paper mills. steel
tool scarcely makes an impression on
this hard substance, but diamond
set tool quickly gives the roll a smooth
finish like that of polished wood.
Diamond dust Is a superior abra-
sive and, due to the rapidity with
which 1t works. greatly reduces labor
costs. The diamond dust is pounded
into the teeth of small circular saws
and copper or steel disks which are
used for cutting glass. diamonds and
other hard gems. Diamond dust fed
copper or soft iron wheels are used.
with the aid Of diamond pointed drills.
in cutting intaglios and canoes and
diamond dust is used in polishing
them.
One of the principal uses Of indus
trial diamonds is for wire dies. The

United States is more than t3.o00.000
These wire dies are made principally
in the United States, France and Ger
many. In making tantalum. tungsten
and osmium tilaments for electric
lamps the metal is heated to 800 to
400 degrees centigrade before draw.
ing. Copper. gold, silver, brass,
bronze. iron, platinum and nickel wires
are also drawn through diamond dies.
From 300 to 400 tons OF copper wire
can be drawn through single die
without variation in gage.
Process of Diamond Drill
The employment Of the diamond
drill is one Of the most important
uses of carbonate. The process was
invented in 1868 and is now most
widely known industry. In times Of
depression about 5000 carats Of car
bonado are used annually for this
purpose but In the more prosperous
mining years the amount increases to
0 900 carats.
During the sixteenth and seven
teenth centuries II was the custom TO
set diamond crystals in rings With one
point exposed for the purpose of en-
craving wine glasses and inscribing
poetry on glass windows. The first
recorded user of such a ring was
Francis ! Of France, and it is said
Queen Elizabeth and Sir Walter
Raleigh often amused themselves by
writing verse TO each other in this
manner.
stones for glass cutting. frequently
of gem quality, vary in size from
one -eightieth TO one-fourth carat.
Although a small quantity of stones
| IL used for this purpose. il is one of
the most familiar industrial uses of
diamonds.
