Our Consul at Victoria furnishes the
cheerful information that the Chinese in
British Columbia are diminishing in num-
ber. OF course, says the San Francisco
Chronicle, this means that they are leav-
ing the province to infiict themselves on
us, and yet there are people who profess
to regard the presence of the Mongolian

Much interest is felt in the success OF
the new invention of Mr.. Allen, of Tus-
caloosa, Ala, which, it is claimed, will
spin cotton from the seed, without going
through the process of ginning, arrang-
ing the fibre, etc. 1t is apparent that if
this invention proves successful, it will
not only be an important and valuable
one in reducing the expense of manufac-
turing cotton, but it will hasten the trans
fer of the cotton n-mills of the country to
the cotton-producing region.

Interesting experiments in silk culture
have been made by Superintendent Ellen
G. Jackson in the Woman's Reformatory
at Sherbon, Mass. The worms were fed
upon mulberry leaves and the cocoonery
was placed in a large room. At the end
of six weeks the worms stopped feeding
and began throwing silken lines from
their mouths over twigs placed in the CO.
coonery. 1t took on an average four
days to finish cocoon and three days
longer to pass into the chrysalis state.
The hours in which the moths burst the
cocoons in greatest number are the first
three or four after sunrise. The moths
mate at once and the best female moth
will lay from four hundred to seven hun
dred eggs. The thread of fine cocoon
will measure about one thousand three
hundred and fifty yards. The larvae re-
semble small black worms and, if prop
erly fed, will not travel more than three
feet during growth from egg to cocoon, a
period of six weeks.

"He knows heshas got totpurchase his
freedom, and the only way is to betray
some other crook. When he reaches this
state of feeling he is taken before the
chief. If he hasn't been doing something
himself he probably knows somebody
who has. The result isSthat he givesthe
chief information whichswill throw light
on some known crime. Frequently in
this way the police gets onto robberies
that they knew nothing about. If the
information proves correct the crook is
turned up or released, and given the ad-
vice to gently slip out of town.
"These subjects for the sweater are
almost invariably professional thieves,
and the detectives run no risk in holding
them. They merely take the chancetha
the crook knows something, and nine
times out of ten the result shows they
are right. Such men, whatever the ro-

serve no more consideration. New York

A Painted Diamond.

There is one pawnbroker in Washing
ton who has lost all faith in human hon
esty. Several months ago nicely dressed
man entered his shop and displayed a
pair of diamond earrings, upon which he
desired to secure a loan. The stones had
that peculiar blush white color so highly
priced among lovers of diamonds, and
the pawnbroker readily advanced him
$3.50 on them.
The stranger departed, and in due
course of time the pawnbroker tried to
dispose of them. He exhibited the dia-
if they would stand the test they were
easily worth $500. The stones were re-
moved from their settings and placed in
a bottle of alcohol. Then they were
shaken for about five minutes, taken out
and carefully cleaned. From the beauti-
full blush white they had become as yell
low as the Chinese flag, and not worth
over S75.
The expert said afterward: "These
stoncs are painted. The process is n
simple one. A small piece of indelible
pencil is dissolved in a teacup of water.
The yellow diamond is then painted with
n fine camel's hair brush dipped in the
preparation, aud the stone is allowed to
dry. The paint will wear off in time,
but nothing will remove it quickly but
alcohol. No reputable dealer will have
anything to do with such stones, but we
have to keep pretty sharp lookout for
Just such tricks as that one exposed a

The Russian mobiles are rushing to
bankruptcy in great numbers. The
credit bank for lending money to them
on mortgage on their land, established by
the Government two or three years ago,
has now no less than two thousand es-
tates which will have to be sold by pub
lie auction at the end of this year for
non-payment of interest on loans. The
question is: Who will buy this enormous
amount of property2 If neither the
bank not the Government buy it, there
will be 1000 noble landowners ruined by
an institution which was established by
the Government for their special help.

The disclosures made in the course of a
suit by Edward Morgan against the estate
of Joseph W. Drexel, for $50, 600 pic
ture, which the plaintiff claims was
bought by Mr.. Drexel, but never paid
for, affect the genuineness of a large
number of paintings by sold masters"
and noted artists that hang on the walls
of New York residences. In a letter by
Mr.. Drexel, which is introduced as ev-
idence, he tells about a ring Of picture
dealers in Paris through whom spurious
paintings are turned out to be sold on the
American market In the opinion of the
New York Graphic "there is no doubt
that such a ring does exist. Not few
oil paintings bearing the signatures Of
noted artists have been bought by
wealthy Americans, sometimes at fancy
prices, who have afterward discovered
that they had been imposed upon. There
is an intimation in the suit that men
like Mr.. Drexel purchased these pictures
at low prices, held them for consider
able period, and then sold them as
genuine, which it was possible to do with
the added weight of their names. This
is incorrect as to Mr.. DreXel, because he
was not picture seller. He kept what
he bought. But it may be the method
by which so many bogus paintings get
into American homes"
