of the firm, undertook the task in Per-

First he cleft the diamond .into two
pias in such a way that a defective
sot in it was split exactly in the entre,
leaving a part of this def 1, on each
pieeeo•f the stone. New. tern one peeve
L: be ng cut the large do.n di :d, and tee

and even then one of these :mailer

I.ou.3 Ascher expliinel how the work
was dote. Fent. Ire sad, it was neces-

mond was prepared in clay and cxicr(-

E\1DEDDED IN CEMENT.
When it had been determined how
beet 1.) go ova a special 13ex, with sliding
sides, was prepared, nod the diamond
was embedded in cement and placed on
the top of a suck, rot unlike a large
d:unistick. and an incision about one -
hell of nn inch in depth was made by
aiwther slick, in which wns emb.rdcted a
spar,: -c It ng diamond, edge toward.
Wl:en the incision was made a slec ally -
c nstr•ucted knife blade was placed in
the slit and struck with terrific force
yeah a LkIck piece of steel. cleaving the
stone in twain. The cleaving, which
took place some time ago, wes J erf)rrn-
ed in the pres.nce of several exrerts.
Now that the stone has been cleft. Mr.
Assecher said, the process of pointing t
is under way. 'Titreo then work in one
room frr rn seven o clock In U10 morning
ut:t.l nine o'clock at night and never

PURE DIAMOND OF 500 CARATS.
Thiit part of the stone which is being
preeare I for King Edward will ho DO-
tw:cn live and s.lx hundred carats In
wee ght and ef the purest colir, said \lr.
Asseher. 'Then he told of the extraor-
dinary precautions observed to guard
such a precious poasession.
`The diamond,' he said, "Ls kept in
the strong roan of our new factory and
i3 guarded day and night by four armed
p 1 a. men. 'Phis strong to ;n) is on the
gretund floor of the factory end the walls
of it are three-quarters of a yard thick
and of strong iron. The door con be
oj.c,:ed only by a comb nation td num-
bers, which is known to no one but
three m•,nbers of the Item.
"Once the door is niu•ned a strong.
iron 'erred door is displayed to view,
and this has to be unlocked before the
strong roozn can he entered. At the
left of the room there Ls a mahogany
cupboard of ordinary appearance, with
two hnnlles, but with tv) locks visible.
There are, however, n(no locks behind
the sal ng panel. The door of the safe
is eight Inches thick and it conceals
Iwo safes. in one of which the Culli-
nnn diamond reposes of night.
"We observe et 11 further precautions,
however. Th' head of th) firm, accent -
pan ed by no fewer than ten men, takes
the dituuord to its &vivre .feeling plata
ter tine night and returns it to Iho work-
ing room in the morning. There is it
small patent recording clock outside the
strong roo:n and it is the duty of the
night wa'chmnn to ninke a certain

h.• must live up to this duty to the sec -
end. despite the fact that the armed

cases $5.80 was paid. Good loads of
butchers' brought $5.20 to 35.50.

still tinchangcd, although the receipts
were very heavy. During the hot weather
tnriners find It safer to sell their hogs
alive, rather than dress.tl, which fact is
