An uncut dinmond b fore the war cost $23 a carat and efter cutting. Immediately after the declaration of war, the price slumped In 1915 the Germans began to get nervous regarding the value of paper | money and started buying all the dia- monds they could find. France, Switzerland, Italy and Eng- land followed suit and the price went | ‘ up rapidly. On the eve of the armis- tice, an uncut carat diamond was worth $70. Since the war ended, the diamond market has boomed, owing to | the depreciation of European money, the difficulty of exchange and the em- bargo on the export of currency from a one European nation to another. To- day a carat of uncut stone finds a ready market ut $150. The Antwerp werchants no longer seek customers. The market is swamp- rs ed with buyers. Credit Is no longer given. The sules are for cash.

Iwo men are employed, the one at the rear operating the valve and the one at the front keeping the chisel against the rivet head. The force of the blow can be regulated by the valve.
