I A new use has been found for diamonds, ! in assisting marksmen in their shooting, 1 says a sporting contemporary. The cub stones are fixed in the front and back sights, and it is said that they enable, the gunner to take a quick and correct aim, even when the light is bad. The brilliants are so fitted that as soon as the gun is brought bo the shoulder the rays in the gems assist alignment, and, the eye takes aim without the least hesitation.
