How a Diamond Cuts Class,
i >.v;i It has been ascertained by a series '?<
! V i,< Of experiments that a diamond does nl
mi.;-. nn* cut ihe glass file-fashion, but forces or
the particles apart, so that a contlnu- at
u " ous crnek Is formed along the line of
ularlv intended out. The crack once be- hi
h en- gun, very small force is necessary to ?t
t?d for carry It through the glass, and thus w
r hit- the iilece is easily broken off. The di
urned superficial crnck or cut need not be c<
jf) t)ii deep; a depth, aeeordlng to fine mens- tr
urenients, of a 200ti? part of one Inch Is
L;ln' quite sufficient to accomplish tlie pur- nl
a few poso, so that the application of much
|R- force in using the diamond only wears
1 and out the gem without doing the work
ijured an>' better. Numerous stones, sucli as sr
iouslv Qu?rtz and other minerals, when is
in the lnto Pr?Pcr form, will cut glass gi
like a diamond, but are not so valuable II
for that purpose, lacking the requisite st
hardness and soon losing the sharp P<
rrived edge necessary to make the operation m
