HAVE YOU HEARD OF THE SUN R ISE GERMAN . Saturday Morn July 4 Woimaransstad, Transvaal.—The manufacturer of "diamonds* from broken bottles has been revealed here by the confession of a native. Claiming to he head of a concern, the native revealed that rlie “ trade” was carried on in several parts o f the Transvaal and the Orange Free State. A 30-carat ” gein” made in the process had been sold for $750. Working like scientists, the man ufacturers of the fake stones take | months trying to get the correct facets and luster on a piece of glass. Heavy-bottom white bottles are used ns raw material. When they are broken up, a piece the size of a quarter Is taken from the thick bottom part and round facets are ground on an emery wheel. Dia mond acid heir« to make them more realistic. The fake is then heated in an open fire and dropped into a bowl of sugar, where the sudden cooling causes minute cracks to appear. Water, Instead of sugar, was used at first, but it was found that the cracks so caused were larger than on a real diamond. Boiled for a few days in water which contains old rusted iron, the pieces of glass assume the appear ance of a rough average-quality di amond, wnen the rust has pene trated the small cracks. After further treatment with di amond acid, the fake is ready for the market When preparing to sell a fake gem, the manufacturers obtain the confidence of the victim by open ing the deal with small, genuine diamonds. Then they produce the “ big one.” W e Specialize on Motor Rebores Motor tune-up Fuel pump overhaul Brakes FREE EATS AND DRINKS R is e F o r E a r l y S ta rt O n S p illw a y P r o je c t Old Mun River is still rolling, but for th“ first timo since three cribs were torn out of the north coffer dam a month ago he was rorfing slow and low enough to permit Co lumbia Construction company of ficials to anticipate early resump tion of activity on the north naif of the spillway dam. The first part of this week the river fell far below the 3*10,000 cubic feet per second mark set as the max imum at which the darn construc tion could be carried forward. The key to continuation of work II#*- in completion of the east half of the norlh cofferdam, where rip rap will be dumped from a railway trestle, about rnriplef.-d. into the gap between crib 22 and th*- north hank, where a deep current is at present coursing at breakneck speed. Riprap wilt he poured into the t-'ap to form a solid wall at least level with the water crest, the up stream face of tin* wall filled with gi »\.*| and covered with an imper vious material to extend the coffer dam all the way to the shore. Cribs for the west half of the cofferdam will then he placed and .joined, the water in the enclosure pumped out and work begun in earnest.
