CONTRACTS SIGNED
FOR SIX NEW SHIPS

ships in 1881 and two more in 1882
The other two will be completed in 1885
and 1886. The contract also provides

DIAMONDS FACTOR
IN CAR MANUFACTURE
Hard Surface Found Best for Cut
ting Tools by Automo-
bile Makers.

DETROIT R.-To the average
motorist diamonds and motor cars
have little in common excepting as an
outward evidence of a certain affiuence
In the manufacture of automobiles,
however, diamonds figure as an i'm
portant factor.
Although the figurative alchemists
of the industry have succeeded in pro-
ducing a substance that approximates
the diamond in hardness and in cut
ing power, the original gem still holds
first place in the favor of the
engineers having to do with production
of drilling and cutting tools.
The diamonds are particularly effec-
tive in drilling and otherwise machin-
ing aluminium and brass, both "stringy"
metals which chip and shred under
steel tools.

plants have a stock of diamonds al
ways on hand. One large plant that
specializes in high grade products keeps
a stock of from 100000 to 100000
worth of the gems.
The most commonly used is the
Brown Bortz. Others are black, lead
colored, yellow and clear white. The
white diamonds have carbon spot flaws
that make them better for cutting than
a diamond without a flaw. The
average size is about gig karats, al
though some weigh as much as 4 and 5
karatS.
The diamonds are mounted in the
ends of metal rods by drilling holes
the size of the stones in the end of
the rod and setting the jewel in melted
metal, something like zinc solder.
