The worlds stocKsof diamonds has in

IN 1875 the output Of the African mines
was about 1900. 600 carats, last year it

which controls all the principal mines
assert that they have $1,000, 900 carats

time the demand for diamonds has Won
derfully increased, and they are shigher
to-day-partly because of the trust, )"
but also because of increased demands
than they were a year or two ago. In
one respect the diamond industry is diff
ferent from almost all others Its prod

sumed OF gold and silver a much
larger amount than most people would
believe Is literally consumed in the arts

goes into the worlds great stock, and is
liable to come upon the market at any
time Hence the worlds annual taking
Of diamonds, which appears to be stead
ily increasing, even at advancing prices,
Is an index of how much of its surplus
earnings Il can afford to expend yearly
Ia this particular form of luxury. The
romance of diamond mining is all gone.

A TIGER AND ITS PREY.

At Peace Greek and Ocala, Fla, fossil re-
mains have also been found. The bones al
the former place were those of two giant ar
madilloS, the first discovered in this country
north of Texas The other bones were found
last winter in a cave near Ocala. The blast
ing OF limestone brought them 10 light They
were those of saber toothed tiger, about as
large as Bengal tiger; a llama, nearly the
size of a camel; an elephant, like au AsiatiC
elephant, and a horse, rndistinguishable
from the common horse. Among the bones
of the tiger was the skull, Showing its canine
teeth, which are six inches long and fattened
out like a sabcr. This animal is now extinct,
and its remains have never before been found
east of the Mississippi. Dr. Leidy is satisfied
that the elephant tiger. horse and camel, being
found in the same cave, lived at the same
time, and thinks it likely that the others mad
been brought to the spot by the tiger as its
food The finding of the bones of "a horse is
considered strong evidence that the common
horse once existed on his continent and after
ward became extinct. These animals are also
placed in tie quaten"ry period.
Until these recent discoveries the eyes of
scientists had not been turned toward Florida
in expectation OF finding fossil remains. The
Bad Lands, Oak, ami Bridger, Wy. r, are
two of the prominent fossil fields of the West.

The plane of the earth's orbit crosses the
equator at an angle of about % "a degrees.
The attractive force of the sum- moon and
stars constantly exerted upon the earth has a
tendency to tilt the pole away from tie sun
and to draw the equator towards IT, As
consequence, the sun crosses the equator each
year q little farther west than the point
where it crossed the last time before. In
olden times it was said that the equinoctlai
point, or place,of crossing, went forwards to
meet the sun. Hence the phenomenon was
called the procession OF the equinoxes." But
from the fact that the equinoctial point
really falls backwards on the celestial equa-
tor towards the west. each time about 30
seconds of degree, astronomers frequently
speak of the recession of the equinoxes," in
stead of procession. In consequence of this
recession our seasons begin a little earlier
every year, and the time will come-in about
il 900 ye0rs-when the sun will cross the
equator in midwinter Then the seasons will
be completely reversed; the Fourth of July
will come in the month Of billiards, and
Christmas during the hot wave epoch.-St.
Louis Republic.

One Of the giant sloths, pronounced by DR..
Leidy the megathcrium. was also as large as
the Asiatic elephant. The only living sloth
known, about the size Of a terrier, is tree
animal.
EVERY SLOTH his OWN SURGEON.
This megatherium, though too large to
climb into trees, fed upon tree leaves and
branches. and used to rear up on its hind
legs. embrace the tree with is short fore legs,
and swaying it from side to side finally up
root it. DR.. Leidy argues Tor this habit from
its strong back legs and tail dixie the kanga-
rOo'Sl, and from the fact that several Skele-
tons OF these animals have been previously
discovered carrying signs of serious fractures
OF bones, which have been practically cured
during life.
The remains of the three llamas show that
these animals must have ranged in size from
little larger than a camel to one and half
times as large. The three toed horse, whose
bones were found in Florida was probably
two-thirds the size OF a donkey. So many

Them-IIow Biologists Read Them.
Big boxes full of curious old bones have
been arriving at the biological school of the
University of Pennsylvania, pending rest
ing place in the working room of Professor
Joseph Leidy the famous anatomist Ger
tain marks have indicated that they came
from Archer, Levy county, Fla. The speci-
mems have been carefully wrapped up in
Florida moss and other packing to prevent
breaking on the way north.
These bones are hundreds of years old.
They belong to extinct creatures of the qua
ternary period. DR.. Leidy has been hard at
work identifying the animals of which the
bones form a part, and this Identification is
now complete. His conclusions are now very
interesting. The chief bones, he says, are
those OF a rhinOceros, q mastodOn, llama,
three toed horse and giant slOth. There
are also parts of a tapir, small crocodile
and a gar pike.
In 1887, gentleman living in Archer, in
northern Florida, found some fossil bones in
beds of clay, and wrote to the late Professor
Baird of the Smithsonian institute, about
them. At that time scientists were not ex-
pecting the discovery of fossil remains in
Florida at all, and Professor Baird, becoming
interested, suggested 10 Dr. Leidy that he go
there and search for more bones. Dr. Leidy,
being unable to do so, interested Maj. Powell,
superintendent Of the United States geolog-
icai survey, in the matter, and the latter sent
one of his assistants, Mr.. Dali, to Archer for
two weeks.
WHAT THE BONES TELL.
As a result of this visit two barrels and si1
boxes OF bones were sent TO DR.. Leidy TO be
identified. There were no further finds there
until Professor Marsh, of Yale college, put
an assistant, Mr. Hatcher, to work digging in
the same clay, directing him to send all the
remains he might unearth to DR.. Leidy. Seven
more boxes accordingly reached here. The
two consignments, altogether, contained feet
and limb bones, portions of the jaws and
numbers of the teeth of about twenty rhinoe-
eri; feet and limb bones and a quantity Of
teeth of the mastodon: the claws and ankle
bones of the giant sloth; the limb bones, toe
bones and teeth of the llama; limb bones and
teeth of three toed horse, and other less
important remains.
Dr. Leidy Identifies the rhinoceros as a va
riety whose skeleton has never before been
found in this country east of the Mississippi.
1t is aboutthe size of the present Indian rhinoc-
eros, but has tusks eight inches long instead
of three inches, and was probably hornless.
1t lived in Florida in the quaternary period,
previous to the appearance of man. The
mastodon whose bones were found DR.. Leidy
calculates to have been half as large again as
the present Asiatic elephant and different
species from the common mastOdon whose
remains have been found in almost every
state in the Union. The head Of. one Of the
arm bones, which in the man is about one
aud hslf inches in diameter. is all that one
