DIAMOND MINES.
Tho Latest Scientific Theory Concerning
The r Formation.

Tne fOrmRtlOns
How did the South African diamonds
ever get there? How much deeper are
we going down? Are diamonds going to
be found in as large quantities as at
present? There are various theories as
to how these mines have been formed,
but all agree in attributing them to
volcanic action. They are all funnel
shaped, the sides of the funnel being
composed of dense igneous rock,
known in miners parlance as reef" 1t
is of soapy nature, easily acted upon
by the atmosphere, consequently most
dangerous, as large pieces, in some in
stances weighing hundreds of tons, get
detached. There are no means of shor-
ing it up; and, without warning, these
enormous slices will slide off into the
working portion Of the mine, burying
the claims and sometimes killing the
employees The whole of the funnel is
filled with this "blue" ground, the reef
sloping at various angles, but on an
average of one in fifteen. The theory is
that in time the sides of the reef will
meet at some great depth, supposed by
some to be 1000 feet, by others more;
and that then we shall arrive at the
aperture forming the bottom of the fun
mel. Whether that hole will again ex-
pand into further cavity is, of course,
matter for speculation. 1t should be re-
membered that the diamonds were not
formed where they are.
The hot liquid containing the dia-
monds was forced by some great cata-
o1 Af hn n1i nth
the bulgirgs in the sides Of the mines
being very soft and shaly, showing
where the rock was not sufficiently hard
to resist the enormous pressure. Now
1t has been observed that in Kimberly
there must have been ten distinct up
heavals; in Dutoitspan, twenty-five; in
Bultfantein, three OF four; and in De
Beers three; and this has been proved
by the varying nature of the ground. II
one upheaval only had taken place, the
center of the funnel would have con.
tanned ono particular kind of soil. As
the miners go deeper great alteration
Is noticed in the character OF the soil.
They have actually found pieces OF
the top reef and top soil at depth OF
four hundred feet. This shows that in
the succeeding upheavals vacuums were
formed and the whole funnel became in
a state of tumult, the upper layers OF
oxidized earth returning to their an
cient depths to give place to the Other
carbonaceous matter, which by success
sive exposure to the atmosphere became
oxidized and assumed the yellow colol
seen so frequently in the heath and EN-
bankments of rejected debris. Long

MISCHlEvOUS ETHEL.
A Wee Prattler Gets Her Auntie Into No
End of Trouble.

END OF trouble.
She was such a pretty young girl! She
sat in Fifth avenue stage few days
ago with curly mite of little girl by
her side, and the young man opposite
threw all the smiling admiration possi-
BILE at the little one, because he didn't
dare offer it to the larger one. But -
and we still believe in the innocence Of
childhood-that tiny, cherub-faced be-
ing saw and comprehended the situation
in fash. 1t was clear that the child's
thoughts Gran thus: Here was o young
man who thought "Aunty" was awfully
pretty and sweet; no doubt he wished
she were his "Aunty." But she wasn't
sho was Ethel's. And Ethel could -
without waiting to finish the thought,
auite like the grown-up girl she would
be seventeen years hence - Miss Ethel
,ast herself upon "Aunty's" neck and
printed soft little kisses all over the
sweet face. Then she put her tiny
hand over "Aunty's," eyes and cried
"Aunty, play peep wifi Efel!' And
the blushing aunty tried to keep
the child demurely down by her side,
but Miss Ethel knew very we'll what she
was about. and she insisted on playing
peep, casting all the while the most
triumphant and coquettish glances over
toward the young man, who scarcely
know which most to dissemble, his
amusement or his admiration.
BY and by Miss Ethel was no longer
satisfied with Haunting her privileges
in the eyes of tho young man. She
longed for still further display. Cast
ing demure look across the way
she laid: "Aunty, kiss Efel." "Aunty'
was terrified enough by this time to dc
any thing the child bade. ''Now, Efel,
kiss aunty," she proclaimed with salts
faction, and proceeded to carry out the
performance at once After n great
deal of elaborate OSCILLATION had been
indulged in, between aunty's whispered
protests and threats, the small woman't
roguishness reached its climax. Catch
ing the protty face between her two lit
tie hands, she pulled 1t close down tt
her and then with an indescribably
arch look opposite, she said in tones o.
command: Now, man, kiss aunty."
Poor mani" Poor "aunty" Red an 4
rose was he, and she-how her pretty
pink cheeks did glow as she caught the
tiny mischief maker and hurried hel
out of the stage, while q ripple o.
sweetly malicious laughter broke from
the lips of the cnerubic face that peeree

AN APPEAL FOR AID.

Irish Envoys Ask Americans to Contribute
Funds for the support of the National
ist Party in Its Struggle with ENGLAND.
New YORK, Nov. 22.-The following
circular has been issued by the delega-
tion of the Irish Parliamentary party:
The addresses already livered by the Irish
delegates and the other communications in the
press have II is hoped, made the American
pubic somewhat familiar with tho circum.
stances of the Irish struggle at the present
hour. The Irish people are now face to face
with determined and powerful attempt, or
ganiZed by Mr.. Balfour and number OF the
Tory and Liberal Unionist capitalists In En-
gland and landlord syndicates in ireland, to
starve out the Irish organizations and the
evicted tenants by simultaneously increasing
the vigor Of coercion and the number OF evic-
tions.
So reso,ute and morciless is this combinat on
that at The very moment when, according to the
governmen itself. large portions OF Ireland are
mennced with severe distress, wholesale
evictions are being carried out The chief pur
pose OF the mission OF the Irish delegates to
America is to couuteract this last desperate
assault by an appeal TO the generosity OF the
American people for moral and financial sup.
port.
The amount OF symp- thy and interest already
manif 'sted in their mission has exceeded their
most sangnine expectations The very extent
of this response has, however, increased the

OF the National League and other Irish soci

BALTIMORE, Nov. 90. The Maryland
State Dental Association at meeting
held last night unanimously decided to
persevore in their refusal to answer the
questions put by the Census Bureau in
reference to mechanical dentistry, not
withstanding that the census authori-
ties have ordered the prosecution of
those who would not answer the ques-
tions. The dentists object to being
classed as manufacturers instead of pro-
fcssional men, and have all along pro-
tested against it. They claim that the
position OF the census people is absurd
and are surprised that great bureau of
the United States Government knows
no better than to consider them class
of tooth carpenters"

A GREAT COMBINATION.

Leading western Railroads to be Operated
ToEother-Jay Gould, tho Rookefeliers
and Other Capitalists Interested in the
Scheme.
NEW York, Nov. 22.-It was stated
Friday afternoon that an alliance had
been formed between the interests rep
resented by George G. Magoun, OF Kid
der, Peabody & Co.; Jay Gould, C p.
Huntington and the Standard Oil party
by which all the railroads owned or con-
trolled by them individually or jointly
will be operated together, practically
under Gould's direction. This alliance
includes the Southern Pacific, Union
Pacific, Missouri Pacific, Atchison, Wa
bash, Kansas & Texas, Texas Pacific
and many other roads. 1t is also said
that Mr.. Gould is trying to force the
holders OF Rock Island either to sell
their stock around its present price or
to join hands with the other roa DIS in
the alliance.
The Burlington and Chicago & Alton
will act with the allied roads in what
ever steps may be taken, but there are
fears that the Vanderbilts may be angry
at the loss of their traffic contract with
the Union Pacific and may refuse to
join. II the Vanderbilts and the roads
controlled by ]. Pierpont Morgan can
be brought in, a meeting of the bankers
and railroad presidents of all the roads
in the country will be called, new as
sociation formed and then an immediate
and material advance in all railroad
rates will at once be ordered
Vanderbilt people now admit that
Gould has got control of the Union
Pacific. One of the parties named as a
director, said: "The board will soon be
reorganized. John d. Rockefeller,
working with Mr.. Gould, has brought
the change about and Russell Sage, Jay
Gould, FL. b. Hyde and Alexander Orr
will take the place of four OF the
present members. The resignation of
President Adams will be received, and
he will probably be succeeded by
Sydney Dillon"

The fashionable modistes who remain

are held out gracefully by means of two
very short, but very firm, steels.

THE BLAINE OR THE REED IDEA.
The past week triumphs for Reed and
Blaine, within the party, placed those
candidates for the favor Of their col
leagues far in the lead Of their competi-
tor, Benjamin Harrison.
Speaker Reed increased his majority
by discreditable means, which do not
affec. his position with the Democrats
but which have supreme influence on
the Republicans and on his standing in
the Republican party. his increased
majority is regarded as disgusting by
the Democrats, because il shows that
the same methods which have been used
before have been successful or have
been used with more persistency. With
the Republicans the increased majority.
no matter how ohta ned, shows that
Reed is a rival of Blaine, that he is
another candidate for the nomination
Tor the Presidency. That effects the
Republicans, not the Democrats.
II is the same case with Secretary
sla'ne's triumph in debating, by his re-
marksoie message, the reciprocity
amendment to the Mckinley tariff bill.
