otyrax JapOnica.

The most valuable of recent intro
auctions from Japan is Styrax japonica,
q shrub attaining a height of six or
eight feet. and bearing profusion of
most charming white flowers of the size
of an apple blossom. The species was
first described in 1885 by Siebold and
Zuccarini, in their works upon Japan
plants. It has only recently been in
troduced into this country, however,
and is not yet grown by more than two
or three nurseymen. It is bound to
become . general favorite as soon as
known. The most charming feature
of the plant is its habit of bearing slen-
der. horizontal branches, along the
upper side Of which are the leaves,
while the chaste, wax-like flowers hang
on slender pedicels beneath. It's period
of towering is late spring, the bios

THIBODAUX LA, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY
A True Story Of . Diamond.

Chats about the gems on view
brought out odd scraps about the way
diamonds came into the market. A gem
now in the possession of police captain
had, as too many of the more notable
historical stones h:-e, queer, weird,
blood-stained history. A miner at De
Beers, Grigualand West, South Africa,
abandoned his claim because the walls,
huge masses of rock, left towering
above the excavated ground, had fallen
in, and to such an extent that it would
not pay to have the claim cleared. He
went to another rush, and months
afterward found himself arrested OF. q
charge of making away with . man
named Comyngs, last seen in his tent
on the night before he skipped the
camp"
He was confined on suspicion, and
yet, there beng no corpus deficit, was
not brought to trial. One day he was
summoned on q Coroner's inquest and
marched from his prison to the Court
House, liberty, and comparative for
tune.
The missing man had been found. It
seems the claim had been taken into the
area of a strong company, who found,
inter ALA, the dead, decomposed corpse
of poor Comyngs. How he had got
in.o the claim was q mystery, but in his
dead hand, where he lay crushed all
shapeless by the huge masses of rock
that tumbled on him SO inopportunely,
was nineteen-carat diamond worth
$4,000, a piece Of purest water. The
miner was acquitted, and diggers' law
gave him the diamond so found in his
claim, which could not be declared
legally abandoned until the month ex-
pired from his vacating his license

Forests and Han.Stofms,

The relation of forests 10 rainfall IL .
common subject for discussion, and the
accumulation of observations and rec
ords seems to have pretty we'll settled
the matter, but when hail-storm is SUBJ
stituted for rain-storm We have much
less information. and it il probable that
in an agricultural sense the hail-storms,
because of their destructive power in
summer, and the devastation they
may cause, are quite Is important and
certainly more to be feared than rain
storms. It has been shown that the
removal of the forests has tendency
to increase the rainfall upon the araa,
or at least it appears that the rainfall
is greater upon the open country than
upon the forest. So for the same rea-
son in regions in which hall-storms are
not uncommon it is to be expected that
they would increase as the area in for
est is diminished, and this has really
been found to occur in the mounta MS
of Switzerland and Italy. Prof. C.
Glaser has found that clearing the hill
sides in those countries tends to in
crease the number and severity of the
hail-storns, and his conclusions are
based upon series of observations ex-
tending over period of thirteen years.
Unfortunately, he gives no data relative
to the rainfall for the same areas, but,
reasoning from analogy, there can be
no doubt that such observations would
support and confirm those mentioned
above.
It must not, however, be inferred
that the frequency of rainfall follows
the removal of forests, because it has
not been proven that this always takes
place. The figures OF the records here
referred to state quantities of rain in
inches, and not the number of rainy
days during the yesr.-Chtcago Trib-
