MODERN DIAMOND CUTTING.
kWhercin, It Is Said, the New Watj Is Much Better
Than the Old.
twin the Jcnclcr'i Clrruhr.
'. That oven dlutnundK may bo subject
"to cluiiiKcH nnd ntylcs In evident from
n entirely new form (if cutting which
" fiiiH Juwt hern patented In the United
fJtrttcH and Km ope by one of the Iuik-
i-st cut ton) and Importers of dliunotulH
.Jtf thlH country. This new form la
Imown ns the twentieth century cut-
itnjr, and ill (Tore miMwIiilly from and
1b an Improvement on, both the uiuiut'
.and cushlon-shapcd brilliant, In which
, "form diamonds have been cut for many
centurion.
The present lound brilliant was a
decided Improvement on the ciihIiIoii
nlnipe which preceded It, but for this
Improvement the cutter had to pay
L'pnaiiloralily In the extra or waste loss
from the roURh stone. The new twen
tieth uoiiturj Is as great an Improve
ment over the brilliant a the brilliant
. was over the cushion shape, but there
Jb'u c'oinpenMitltiK Increase both In the
cost of the cuttlnK nnd In the grade of
the diamond from which it Is to be cut.
' The brlllluiit, which has .been used
for the past twenty-live years, us Is
well known, has flfty-slx facets; the
"tuble" or round, flat top. thirty-two
'facets on the top, nnd the "culet"' or
point has twenty-four facets at the
back. The twentieth century rutting
has eighty facets yuud planes, forty of
each, and has no "table" or "culet."
. Orie of the defects which the Inventor
found in the brilliant, as now out, Is
that the "table" at the top, while re-
"fircting llRht to some extent, does not
"'scintillate, but leaves n view of the
facets und the culet from above. The
larger the diamond the laiger the
"table," and there is a corresponding
difference between the Hash of the
"facets and the dull reflection ir the
"circle at the center.
The newly Invented twentieth cen
tury cutting scintillates from every
.point, and increases the brilliancy of
the stone by 100 per cent. The inventor
.' -who has been an expert In diamonds
for many years, has for a long time
- sought to overcome the lack of scin
tillation in the "table" of the diamond,
and after years of experiment lias
evolved the present cutting. He went
on the principle that nature makes
crystals in octagon and octahedron
forms, and in cutting he has followed
as much as possible the natural lines
of crystallization.
His patent Is essentially on a shape
formed of two cones, base to base, each
cone made up of planes and' triangles.
Looked at from any direction, the tri
angles and planes scintillate and Hash
light nt all angles, making it impos
sible to sec within the stone. The re
fractive and rellective powers of the
stories tiro both Increased by the new
- form, the planes in most cases receiving
' l'lgfit In the angle of total reflection
and" flashing it out with full force and
without loss. Other peculiar proper
ties of the twentieth-century cutting
Hint do not exist In nny oilier form yet
discovered are (1) Unit through the In
creased rcllcotton and refraction of the
light the stone appears to bo nt least
one-third larger than It actually Is; (2)
for the same reason the color Is Intensi
fied so that u white stone looks whiter,
a yellow, yellower and a blue, bluer;
while n third property Is Increased In
"rainbow" tints duo to the Inciease In
the number of prisms at the edges of
the stone.
Owing to Jhe Intensification of color
only the most perfect illnmonds, such
as river stones, Ulue AVesselton, Wes
seltoti and crystal, can bo used with
this cutting; and this, combined with
the fact that It Is Impossible for a
regular cutter to cut this form without
learning an entirely now method, makes
the price so high that It puts them
outof competition with commercial
lines. For this reason they aie not
handled by the general run of retail
Jewelers, but only by those having a
trade that will pay well for exclusive
pioducts. It is, theiefore, safe to predict'
that while the twentieth-century cut
ting will be appreciated by the trade
In genera), und by lovers of fine stones
In particular, nevertheless It will not
Interfere with the general trade In bril
liants of the present form, and will not
he seen except on the most perfect and
special stones that come Into the mar
ket. BIGGEST RAILROAD CENTRES.
Chicago Holds the Record with 1,100
Trains Arriving and Leaving.
Pium tlic Nrv Yoik him.
Along with the consolidation of rail
road Interests whirh has been going
on In the United Stales during the past
five years there has been a geneial
consolidation or terminal facilities in
the large cities with u view or serving
the convenience of travelers in the
matter of transfers and changes.
Although the railroad business of
American cities does not vary in ac
cordance with the population being
lointlvely very large for instance In
Chicago. St. Louis and Kansas City
nnd relatively small in Philadelphia,
Boston and San Francisco the com
petition among cities as to the num
ber of trains arriving and leaving has
continued for many years without dis
placing Chicago at the bead of the list.
The Union station at ft. Louis, the
pioneer union station in the West,
handles S.ono.OOO passengers in a year,
though the number of trains urilvtng
and departing daily does not exceed
273.
Boston has two big union stations,
the Xorlh Union, which handles 000
trains a day, and the Boston Terminal,
which handles more than 701). The
average number of passengers In a year
in the former is 23,000,000 and in the
latter 21,000,000.
At the Clnuid Central station In Now
York about (150 trains arrive and leave
ench day, mid tho totnl number of pas
cengers who Utilize this station Is now
about Jfi.OOO.OOO n year.
All records In respect to railroad
trains arriving and departing arc
broken by tho olty or Chicago which,
at Its five chief stations, the Illinois
Central, tho Northwest, the Union, tho
Van Huron street and the Dearborn,
him an average dally record or 1,100
trains. ' No other American city has so
many, though when the present pro
jects of tho Pennsylvania and Lour
Island railroad systems for u Now
York terminus uro consummated, Chi
cago's supremacy will, of course, cense.
ROOSEVELT HAS CHANGED.
In the Big Game of Politics He
Seems More Calculating.
I'm Ml lift- Now York Mall anil llxprcis WiisIiIiir.
Ion (.'iitu';orilcMii'.
Theodore Itoosevelt Is a changed man,
not essentially, of com so; that were
Impossible. The characteristic' traits
of a strong ludlvuallty enduro from
birth to death. Development simply
alteis tho relations a man's characteris
tics bear to one another, so that while
.Mr. itoosevelt, Is stilt all there, the dlf
feience between the president of the
United Stales and the police commis
sioner or New York city Is striking
enough to make upon any one whohas
not known him Intimately the Impres
sion iif a new man.
"But Where's Teddy'."' a fellow call
er tit the white house asked me one day
as we watched the president move
about .among his very numerous call
ers. "He's theie," I answered.
Just then a politician caught and held
the president's hand and began whis
pering to him, Jlr. Itoosevelt listened
until the man was apparently half
through, then spoke in a clear, loud
voice:
"No, 1 won't do anything of the
kind, and you should have known bet
ter than to ask me to."
"There he Is," r snld, and my friend
replied, "Yes, that's Teddy all right."
The politician, abandoned In the cen
tre of the floor, stood there a moment,
flushed nnd abashed, while the presi
dent was greeting other callers with
the vlgotous cordiality that became u
habit with him while ho was running
Tor governor of New York. Finally the
politician noted tho many smiling eyes
upon him and turned to retreat from
the room. The president saw him,
sprang to his side and said In a tone
no less firm, yet more kind:
"Theie's a way to do what you want
done. You know what It Is. See your
senator and the head of the depart
ment: when they have approved, send
me the papers and I'll act."
Theie was the president, the new
man; moie helpful, more thoughtful,
more calculating. Jrr. Itoosevelt today
isipluying a bigger game than he ever
played before, and he plays the game.
That is what people have never given
him credit for doing, yet he has done
It always. Mr. Itoosevelt Is a shrewd
man. .
From his youth he wanted to be
president. There were prices he
wouldn't pay for success, and there
were many things lie wanted to be first.
I remember asking him when he was a.
police commissioner what of nil things
ho would like host to be, and his an
swer came llku u uword out of tho
scabbard! "A colonel or cavalry In a
charge." When he was u cavalry col
onel ho wanted to bo governor, and
when ho wan governor, to the same
question ho replied, "Secretary or war
or a colonial governor,"
But the presidency loomed always
ahead or him and behind tho others.
He did not like to entertain the vision.
He was ufrnld tho wish might defeat
Itself by breeding vacillation and weak
ness, so ho thrust nsld-o tho Idea Im
patiently, angrily, and went headlong
after tho other things. And these wore
not arranged In lino; they were not tho
steps foreseen by many a more help
lessly ambitious man. The Idealist In
Uoosevelt inndo him believe that the
way to tho top was by good service,,
good citizenship.
Mr. Itoosevelt wants to bo elected
president. It angers him to hear this
and he tries, no doubt, not to hnrbor
the ambition, not to recognize It even
In prlvnte. Yet It Is there, and with It
tho sonso of the game, the big, clean
game, .well worth the playing. The
game Is politics, but It Isn't hasty poli
tics; It Is "bully" big politics, and tho
stake Is tho second term.
Changed?
Yes, In tlm relations of the traits. Ask
Albany, ask them up there how ho used
a torn-up message of his to .put
through n bill with the votes nil against
It. They know -the man, whether he Is
rollloklngwlth laughter, fighting In tho
newspapers or quietly pulling wires.
Theodore Roosevelt Is an all round
man, lucky, but no accident, and he la
planning to stay.
200,000 BUTTERFLIES.
South Kensington Museum Has the
Finest Collection in the World.
I'linii Hie Lomlyii Mall.
South Kensington museum will short
ly be enriched by the nddltlon to its
treasures of the finest collection of but
terflies and moths In the world.
Lord Walsingham, who is a trustee
of tho British museum, has made over
to the nation his magnificent assort
ment or mlcrolepldoptera, which for
more than thirty years he has been
engaged in acquiring from every coun
try under the sun.
At present the collection, which con
tains more than 200,000 specimens, Is
encased at Morton Hall, Lord Val
singham's Norfolk seat, but as soon as
possible it will be placed in its new
abode, where it will entirely transform
the appearance of the Insect section, to
which butterflies and moths at present
conti Unite but scantily.
The Washington collection Is not only
the largest, but also the most Import
ant, In a historical sense, in existence.
It includes among others tho famous
Keller collection, and also those formed
by Hofmann and Chrlstoph, so that the
magnitude of the gift can hardly be ex
aggerated. The specimens embrace many of tho
originals selected as standard types by
various authorities who have written
on the subject. Lord Wiilslnghum
himself has issued numerous mono
grams and papers on this his favorite
study and pursuit.
Tho importance of the gift to the
natural history student is obvious. He

to the actual specimens. In many cases,
from which the authorities made their
observations and deductions: while the
ordinary visitor will bo charmed by
the almost countless varieties of Beau
tiful form and color which the collec
tion comprises.
,lt has not yet been decided where in
the museum the collection shall bo
placed. The room in which the pres
ent specimens repose Is quite Inade
quate for the reception of such a large
addition.
Then you ought to come
here. We have gained a
fairly good foothold on the
spring business because of
the superiority of our stocks
over others. We are mak
headway because every
man who appreciates good,
substantial clothes becomes
our customer as soon as, he
sees and tries on.
We invite comparison in
every point, quality, style,
make-up, value, price.
