Fine Surface Obtained by Polishing Stone Under Water. Louisville Courier-Journal. "The stone workers of Germany are among the most interesting persons I have ever seen when engaged in cutting their Jewels," said A. P. Bankhead. ot Memphis, who has traveled extensively in Europe. "The principal Industry is at Freiberg, on the edge of the Black Forest, In which the precious stones are found. The prin cipal jewels are amethyst, lapis lazuli and malachite. They are found in veins which arc thin as compared with ordinary min eral deposits, and in the rough are shaped exactly like any other stones that are dug out of the ground. "The process of cutting them is the interesting part of the work. All of them are cut under water, and the jewel cut ters lie flat on their stomachs while at work, A huge water whel Is fitted with the necessary cutting aparatus, and the resting places of the cutters are Very much like the pack saddle. They lie on that with their hands under water, hold ing the stone which Is being prepared, and the motion of the wheel does the cutting. The action of the water makes the QRAND THEATER WEEK OF JANUARY IS A SUPERB BILL 10 NSYELTY NUMBERS 10 3 THE LYRES 3 THE ORIGINAL MCKPHYS. "The Irish Hose" melodramatic skit.

"Malachite, which Is one of the prin cipal Jewels made In this way, is the royal stone of Russia, and is more plenti ful there than in Germany. The Czar Russia, when he is greatly pleased with any one, will send htm a vase or a clock some handsome design of malachite. and wherever they are seen the favor of the Czar rests. The stones are only semi precious, not being In the same category with diamonds, emeralds and rubles, but even a small piece of them is expensive. Malachite is found in New Mexico, in this country and Is even finer than the European mineral. Chrysoprase is another German stone which has recently become quite a fad for pins and buckles." a EMPIRE THEATER GEO. L. BAKER Manager SEATS CAN BE ORDERED BY PHONE, MAIN 117.
