A Subterranean River.

Some very interesting and really sur
prising discoveries have been made re-
Gently concerning the peculiarities OF
the region on Long Island, known as
Hemstead plains. Those who are at all
well informed concerning the level lands
of Long Island, know that, aside from
their varying soil and sand, the source
of their always plentiful water supply
has been involved in mystery, some
claiming that the water found was simply
a teaching from the surrounding sea,
and others that, as elsewhere common,
it came from springs having their source
like other springs in other lands. But
even the best informed remained I'M
satisfied and inquisitive in regard to it,
and even distinguished geologists felt
that full and satisfactory explanation
of the conditions known to exist was be-
yond their power. This mystery, it may
here be said, grew until demand for its
explanation was common among geolo-
gists at home and abroad from the time
when General John A. Dix made known
the fact that even the seemingly unfruit-
full sands of the levels far to the east
ward of Hampstead plains, showed, I'M
der the most careful analysis made by
distinguished agricultural chemists, pre-
cisely the same ingredients and in the
same proportions as the black and won
derfully fertile soil of the Western
prairies. 1t is now claimed, and not
without show of authority, "that 1t Is
caused simply by subterranean river
sheet of water flowing southwark con
tinually, with a descent of eight feet to
the mile. Its motion is retarded, t" ht
sure, by the gravel but it is neverthe
less moving and as unceasing as the flow
of the Hudson or of the Mississippi
rivers"

A DIAMOND KING.
A French Chemist Makes n Wonderful Dis
cOvery--DiamOnd-PInt Qunrtz--A sad
Event.

A French Chemist Makes n Wonderful Dis
cOvery--DiamOnd-PInte Quartz--A sad
Event.
While it is known that every piece of
charcoal as big as ones head contains
diamond as pure as any that ever saw
light in Golconda, science and chemistry
have both expended years of labor and
fortunes in money to secure the separa-
tion, but in vain. 1t remained, of couse,
for a Frenchman, when he found that
the diamond "would not out" of the
charcoal, to do something almost as
wonderful. He has constructed dia-
mond that puzzles the dealer in precious
gems to tell from the real thing. The
noduS operGndi of the skillful chemist,
says Paris correspondent, is of course
a secret, yet enough is known to make it
certain that diamond dealers with large
stocks, and millionaires whose wealth
consists in old family stones, are trem-
bling.
M. lie Due, the Partisan chemist, who
has grown famous in day, has devoted
years of study TO his object I am told
that he devoted nine years of time and
two hundred thousand francs of his
wifes fortune to the charcoal diamond
business, but like hundreds of others
just as foolish, he gave that up in dis
gust. Securing famous quartz from
Switzerland, by process of his own he
hardened this, until of itself it would
nearly cut glass and would not show a
scratch on its surface. Then he con-
structed a battery similar to that used
by the copper and nickel plate workers,
and with the aid of diamond dust and
bits wasted in cutting diamonds, he dia-
mond-plated the quartz, just as the type
manufacturer copper plates his metal, or
the harness manufacturer nickel plates
his iron. With this difference, and in
this, of course, lies M. LIE Dues secret,
the quartz absorbs the coating SO that it
is impossible for the connoisseur even to
tell where the quartz begins or the dia-
mond ends.
The chemist upon his first success
took a valuable diamond and one of his
manufactured articles to well known
broker in valuables, and his quartz dia-
mond was decided the most valuable of
the two. When told of the real state of
affairs, the broker would not believe it,
and declared that nothing on earth would
make him believe that the quartz was
not diamond of pure water.
In the midst of the success which has
crowned M. LIE Dues efforts comes an
afiiction terrible in itself. His wife, the
daughter of Paris merchant of good
family, has been deeply interested in
the result of her husbands labors. She
has devoted all her fortune to aiding
him, and the excitement under which
she has labored has been q strain upon
her system that her constitution was not
able to withstand. AS soon as the an
nouncement of the success of the quartz
diamond became known, the poor woman
burst into laughter, followed by vio-
lent fit of Mysteries, and the next day
she was raving maniac. Her. violence
was so great that it was absolutely neces-
sary to send her to madhouse.

What it Costs.

The Witness of New York was started
as daily religious paper. Some years
ago the World was started on the same
basis but passed into other hands. Re
Gently the Witness was under financial
embarrassment, and a meeting of its
friends was held. Mr.. John Dougall,
the editor and proprietor of the Witness,
said tina. after much prayerful delibera-
tion it had been deemed best to discon-
tinue the daily but after the announce
ment to that effect had been made he
was surprised at the instantaneous out
burst of sympathy from all hands. Let
ters had poured into the Office begging
that the paper be not discontinued.
Contributions had been sent in made
quate to meet the demand, he confessed,
but all showing the good will of the Civ
ers. The investment of actual capital
expended on the Witness within about
three years was $160, 900, including all
his own property and much of that of
several of his friends. The Weekly Wit
ness was nearly self-supporting with its
so, 600 subscribers, and when the mum
Der of subscribers reached 100000 it
would be entirely self-supporting. For
some time past the daily had been pub
lished at weekly loss of 5000. The
actual present wants of the paper were
$40, 900, but the assurance of half of that
sum would warrant the continuance of
the journal.

How they Live.

The lively San Francisco Newsletter
gives satisfactory explanation of that
reason why the business men of the
stirring city break down so early. I
says The everyday life. of the success
full or struggling merchant of San Fran
cisco shows him to be slave to his
business. He rises at six o'clock, in
haste swallows o breakfast of the most
unsubstantial food" time is too pre-
cious," he urges, to waste over the
slow mastication of solids /" The morn
ing paper is devoured, the market re-
ports scanned. When he holds stock
of goods that are shrinking, his nerves
act in instant sympathy. Should the re-
ports indicate rapid rise in the price of
the article which marks the heaviest
showing on his stock ledger, then the
expansion of nerves is SO rapid that the
thought of breakfast, family, home
vanishes like the ARREST dream nothing
is worth talking about, and no thought
worthy of a comparison, unless it leads
to the climax of securing the highest
margins on the increased asset. At that
problem he figures all day, each new de-
velopment adding cipher at the right
end Night comes, and with sigh Of
regret the Office is left. Home once
more, the plans for the next day are
evolved, the lapses of the past recalled
md severely commented upon. Into the
visions of the night the turmoil is car
ried. This without break is q dogs
life, led by enterprising merchants. So
cial pleasure is not sought by him, when
forced by the claims of business friend
ships to entertain guests, or to respond
to urgent invitations. 1t is merely q
change of scene without variety the
enjoyment of the social home is meas
ured by the compensation it returns for
business favors or the opportunity offer
ed to make common cause in a mutually
advantageous bargain.

A Centennial Battalion.

The Paducah (Ky.) Herald prints a
notice which reads "All the ex- Con-
federate soldiers in the district are earn
estly requested to meet at Mayfeld-
each man bringing with him two days
rations We learn that it is decided
that they will go into camp at Mayfeld
and make preparations for organizing a
battalion, to be officered by Crosland,
Cobb, Randle, and others, for the pur-
pose of attending in body the Centen-
NAL celebration at Philadelphia. Let
every old soldier attend, and good
time will certainly be the result. The
object of the gathering is non-political
in its character, and is intended simply
as reunion of old comrades, for the pur-
pose of renewing and Strengthening the
bonds of friendship formed during the
terrible days of the war"

The Years Wheat Crop.

Mr.. James Caird, WHO is supposed to
be great authority of agricultural ques-
tions, has just published some interest
ing calculations as to the wheat crop of
Great Britain. He shows that the fall
in the prices of wheat last year was fol.
lowed by reduction of $50, 900 acres in
the breadth of wheat, or nearly one
tenth of the total wheat crop in the
United Kingdom, and that there has
generally in other countries been di-
minished area of wheat. This year the
harvesti in England has been three weeks
later than last yea, and its Introduction
to the market whole month later and
Mr.. Caird calculates that allowing for
the surplus from last year, little more
than eleven months consumption will
now have to be provided for until the
next harvest comes around. This is o.
100000 quarters altogether, half of
which our country has at home, and the
rest must be got from abroad. From
Russia and Germany q liberal supply
may be expected. There is also a good
stock to be drawn upon in France, and
the farmers are holding back for higher
prices. Mr.. Card says that the chief
apprehension is in regard to the supply
from the United States and Canada.
"From that source during the past
three years we have annually received
between six and seven million quarters,
or considerably more than half our total
imports. Should this fail, in any ma
terial degree, we might be pinched.
About one million quarters of the old
crop are reported to be available for ex-
port at the principal points of accumu-
lation in the Eastern States, on the eve
of the present harvest. In California
the crop of this year is reported to be
short, and is not expected to afford more
than another million quarters for ex
port" He adds that he has private ad
vices from Chicago to the effect that the
yield will be twenty-five per cent. short
of last year, and even loss of bushe
an acre, on such an immense breadth ol
wheat would be serious thing.

In Home Society.

The habit which obtains in society"
of inviting not only the five hundred
dear friends of the hostess to meet in
rooms originally intended for not more
than half the number; and more, the
custom of allowing other friends to bring
friends who are personally unknown to
the hostess, makes it easy for those who
desire, unbidden, to view the proceed
ings of the upper ten thousand to do so
without any very great amount of diff
Guilty. The hostess does not expect to
know all her guests the guests know
that, unless in very exceptional cases, a
bow and hurried word constitute all
the attention they will get from that
much occupied lady. No one expects to
know all or even the majority of those
present.; and SO it comes to pass that,
given a correct evening dress and q
passable manner and style, it is not diff
cult to understand how it is that persons,
perfectly unknown to either hostess or
guests, may descend from their vehicle,
be it carriage or fly, at the door of some
mansion where an entertainment is evi-
IDENTIFY going on, may ascend the stairs,
may give their proper names, and hear
them shouted with more or less accuracy
in stentorian tones, and enjoy what
amusement they can extract therefrom,
and may go away without having en-
countered the slightest risk of being
found out.
Not long ago large ball was given in
the immediate vicinity of London.
Hundreds of guests were invited. The
givers of the ball were warned that, un-
less they were careful, they would GER
tainly have more guests than they
counted upon entertaining the hint
was taken, and it was arranged that all
the really invited guests should bring
their cards of invitation with them.
This precaution was well understood,
and acted upon. Nevertheless, at least
thirty persons, entirely uninvited, who
did not even pretend that they had lost
their tickets, presented themselves dur
ing the evening-only, of course, to be
refused admittance.
One wonders whether these people
have a society among themselves, with
whom they dance, to whom they talk,
with whom they make appointments fol-
the next occasion on which they may
chance to appear among the invited.
They certainly take some pains as to
their preparation; they decorate them
selves in evening costume; they go to
the expense of carriages to take them to
their destination, They cannot all have
sinister designs on the property of their
hosts, else they would soon become
known to the police, They are devour.
ed by desire to mix in society to which
they have no legitimate entrance. Sc
long as people organize parties in the
way usual at present, so long are un.
hidden guests likely to be amongst the
number.

A Word About Autumn.

A writer happily hits off this particu-
lar season of the year: ALI the day and
all the night is full of peace. The fever
of the earth is gone, and we are no
longer driven to dreamy Incidence as the
only resource from combustion or hque-
faction. We may shut the windows
now, with no hum of the industry out
side to irritate or distract us. The
evening of comfortable study has come
back, with no self-immolated moths to
teaze us, or to fry themselves in the
lamp or to be pressed out of all shape
and comeliness in the shut folio, the
fair pages of which they disfigure.
Only little whila ago we had no even
ings-now there are three or four hours
for the books and the stars before bed
time. There are even now signs of O
general housing; the wasp crawls feebly
up and down the pane, with all his fiery
pluck gone out of him; the cricket sings
in the new quarters which he has found
somewhere in the room; the great, ugly,
moribund insects cling to the wall, and
the beetles and the butterflies have
passed into the seasonable stage of theiI
metempsychosis.
