The Formation of Diamonds,

Two specimens OF diamonds found by
AgaSslz Embedded III the itacOlumite or
elastic sandstone OF Brazil settled the
long moOted question of the matrix or
natural origin of that jewel Diamonds
are PARTICLES Of pure carbon crystalized
at a certain temperature, caused by the
volcanic action which has upheaved all
the lodges of itacolumite OF elastic sand
stone found on the face of the globe,
ii this precise degree of heat should by
any Eruption or CONFUSION of nature
be applied to those vast StorehOuses of
carbon, the coal fields of the West.
there IS no telling the amount of dia-
mond crystals that might be produced.
But 1t seems that this exact amount of
heat Is never attained save in the tia
cOlumite formation, and whenever loose
diamonds are found in sands or in CON
glOmerate formation they prove the ex-
1stence Of larger quantities imbedded
in ltacolumite IL the neighbOrhOOd.
Wherever that formation is up
heaved, therefore we may look for dia-
mond deposits near As yet no efforts
have been made to bore into the itacol-
unite formation itself for these gems.
But as it is a granular silicjous rock Of
laminated structure distinguished by
its peculiar tiexibility, sheets OF it bend
ing back and forth as if jointed, there
is no reason why it should not be work
ed to advantage in searching for dia-
monds. Lodges of it are found in
Georgia, and North and South Carolina,
and diamonds of great value have been
picked up i'll the first named state.

The Little Light.keeper.
BY CHARLES S. SMITH.

Here is the story of little child,
Who, with her father lived beside the sea.
On a lone island, from whose rocks WAS piled

Watched through the night to warn of danger

One day her father. who had gone ashore.
Failed with the early twilight to return:
And so she sat and wondered more and more.
Until the evening stars began to bnrn
And thought, Our light should shed as true
ray,
Lest ships should be misled and cast away
And SO she sat, perplexed with anxious care
And listened to the oceans restless moan:
What can do: Indeed, | cannot bear
Throush.all the dreary night to stay alone:
Nag, not alone she thought: ana undis-
mayed
The little creature then knelt down and
prayed.
Then she arose, and with trembling hand
Slow dragged chair beneath the we'll
trimmed hight;
Pcrched her slight figure on the trusty stand
And then reached up Alas. her heart was
The lighted paper did not reach the wick.
What should she do in this her hour of need /?
Naught could she find to make the pile more
high.
Till the big Bible, kept with careful heed,
And read at night and morning. met her eve
But still she paused for with a reverend
dread,
Upon the Book of God she feared TO tread
And yet she thought ''What if our light could
save
Some ship from wreck upon a rocky shore ~
And So with resolution strong and brave.
The heavy volume to the pile she bore.
The deed was done: the lights benignantra ray

Her father sat upon the shore meanwhile.
Detained by cruel wretches, who had planned
TO keep tue light INTENDED. and beguile

And, when the cries of drowning men were Ger.

And a. they sat there plotting evil schemes,
Hoping the midnight hour would bring them

Its white sails cleaning in that graceful
light;
Aud now the strong mans eyes are full of
tears.
To see afar that face wan and white.
Peering through darkness from the slippery
rocks

Glad was the daughter when her father came;
Proud was the father as he kissed his child:
But when she asked with blush of bashful

If her young feet the Bible had defiled

When sacred things are put to noble use
And so lie soothed her till her thoughts grew

And read the glowing language of psalm,
Until her heart grew warm and comforted;
And, listening to the roaring of the deep,

During a recent visit to Champaign
County, says the Prairie Farmer, we
saw some very singular artesian wells
on the farm of Mr.. Louis Cuder, Kerr
Township. His estate is large one,
and branch of the Vermillion River
passes through it. On his farm he has
q large number of artesian wells, vary
ing from twelve to forty feet deep.
They pass through no stratifed stone,
and the hardest substance encountered
Is hard pan. They afford excellent
water and constant supply.

Top Grass Land.

The Massachusetts Ploughman con-
siders fall the best time for top-dressing
grass lands, but thinks that if any one
has manure to spare, just as the grass
is starting into growth, it will not be
wasted if applied then, but that the
grass will grow up around it, giving it
shade keeping it moist, and preventing
loss by evaporation. 1t is now too late
to apply i for the first crop, but if fine
manure should be evenly spread over
the surface, as soon as the first crop is
removed, it would be great help to
the aftermath.

more of interest and hope than any other
nation on the continent. Nothing more

The editorial fraternity will be long in

on The result in Massachusetts,. IL says,
among other things:
"The defeat of Governor Talbot, who Is
"A conspicuous advocate of prohibition and
who was placed upon the ticket at the de-
mand of the prohbitionlsts, would seem to
indicate the fact that the people OF Massa-
chuse,ts have lost faith in the prohibitory
law. The law has always been fcebly and
fitfuly enforced and things have been no
better since Talbot succeeded TO the gov
ernorship. 1t has probably becpine evident
to the people that law prohibiting the sale
of liauor cannot be enforced in n state
where more than half of the voters fully
intend TO drink liquor every day of their
lives. When ma jority of the people are
total abstainers prohbitory law may be
something better than a nulliiy but any
attempt to embody in legislation principle
whic il is repudated by majority of the
people in their daily practice is a simple
absurdity. We should he glad to see pro-

we do not care to see them on the statute
