When it is soft enough It is shoveled into the washing machines, where the dirt is sep- arated from the rough diamonds and other large mineral sub- stances. The mixture of miner- als remaining is known as “con- centrates.” g It was formerly necessary to | go curefully over these concen- trates to pick out the garnets and many other foreign sub- stances, until nothing remained but the rough diamonds. This was a slow and laborious opera tion, but it was an essential part of the mining industry un- tll it was superseded not so many years ago. Among the employees in the sorting room was a youth by the name of Kersten, who went quietly to work to find a way to separate the diamonds from other stones more quickly and more easily than could be done by the slow process of hand picking. He was not discour- aged by his many fallures to find that way. One day by the merest chance the boy made the discovery he was seeking. A rough diamond and a garnet happened to be lying on a small beard on the bench where he was working. He raised one end of the board. The garnet slipped off, but the diamond remained. He found that there was a coating of grease on the board that had retained the diamond, but not the garnet. The boy procured a_ wider board, coated the side of it with grease, and dumped a few hand fuls of concentrates on it. Then he found that, by holding the board in a slightly inclined position and vibrating It, all the concentrates except the dia- monds moved to the lower end and fell off, while the diamonds remained in place. Then the boy invented a ma- chine by which his discovery might be utilized, Considerable study was required to perfect it, but at last the machine was completed, and the diamond magnates were invited to wit- ness the new method of separat- ing diamonds from the rest of the concentrates, The tnvention was an entire success, A more simple and | complete device for saving time, labor, and loss of diamonds could not be fmagined. The entire work is now done by ma- chinery, hand-picking has been wholly superseded, and both the inventor and the mine owners have profited handsomely by the labor-saving machine.— Christian Science World. Beoccccsccccccccrocorcccosccccoss} | TRACED TO PRIMITIVE DAYS How the Word “Score” Came into General Use as indicating a Token of Reckoning. “The days of our age are three- score years and ten,” said the Psalm- ist, showing that our forefathers reck- oned by vows, a system of keeping | account of figures based probably in | its original form upon the practice | of counting upon the fingers and toes. | The word “score” itself comes from | the Anglo-Saxon, being nothing more | than the word “scoren,” which is the | | past participle of “sceran"—meaning | | to cut. It indicated a notch or ineision | made upon a tally-stick for the pur- | pose of keeping a record of financial transactions. | The “score-mark” was the twentieth notch upon these primitive “account books”—a cut which was longer and | deeper than the others. Hence the | expression, “to pay off old scores,” | means not only the repayment of old debts, but the revenging of grievances which have cut deep and left a last- | ing impression, | It ts for the same reason, that of reckoning, that we speak of the | “score” of a game—meaning the rec- | ord of the polnts made—and the | “score” or musical record of an opera. | —London Tit-Bits. How Power Is Derived From Sun. A practical demonstration of the possibility of running a steam en- | gine with heat derived directly from | sunshine has been made in California. | The rays of the sun are focused upon a boiler by means of a radiator 35 feet in diameter, composed of 1,788 | | small mirrors which are so adjusted tht they all concentrate the sunlight upon a single central point. The heat developed is sufficient to melt copper, | and a wooden pole thrust into the | focus bursts into flame at once. The } steam from the suspended boiler ts) carried to the engine through a flex: | ible tube. An energy of 15 horse pow- er is developed, and used to pump water for irrigation.
