DIAMONDS FROM THE HEAVENS.

They Have Been Secured for the Mineral
Exhibit or tho Exposition.
Two absolutely unique specimens
have been secured for the mineral cx-
hibit of the Columbian exposition.
These are mass of meteoric iron from
Arizona weighing six hundred and thir-
ty-two pounds and a smaller piece from
the same locality which is far more in
teresting, because in it are plainly seen
the first diamonds ever discovered in
meteoric iron. Prof. A. L. Foote, of
Philadelphia, read n paper before the
geological section of the American as
ISOLATION ut its recent meeting in Wash
ington in which he detailed the dis
covery of the diamonds in fragment
of one of these shooting stars. The di-
Almonds are little ones, but the field of
scientific speculation they open up as to
the origin of the gem and life on other
worlds than ours is immense.
The specimens were found near
Cannon Diablo, Arizona, last June
Prof. Foote sent n fragment weighing
forty pounds to Prof G. A. Kocring for
examination. He found it to be ex-
tremcly hard, n day and half being
taken in making q section, and several
chisels being broken in the operation.
An emery wheel was ruined in trying
to polish the section. This led to closer
inspection of certain exposed cavities,
where small black diamonds wer e
found that cut polished corundum as
easily as knife might cut gypsum.
These diamonds are Internationally
of great interest, the presence of such
in meteoric matter having been I'M
known. till 1887, when two Russian min
eralogists found traces of diamonds in
mcteorite mixture of Divine and
brOnZitc.

A SOUND POSITION.

Tho Commercial Association took
vigorous hold last night OF the most i'm
portant of municipal duties, that of
taxation. Tho argument advanced in
the paper of the evening is unassail-
able.
It is wrong to tax any industry, trade,
occupation or profession which tends to
build up and develop the city.
1t is right to tax that species of
property which owes its value, not to
the exertions of the owner, but to the
combined efforts of the community. The
only class of property which answers
that description is land values.
Ii the association will continue to
arouse public interestin public matters,
it will become the most powerful factor
for the city's development which Roa-
noke possesses. Its Tuesday evening
meetings are open, and the public is
expected to attend.

A Railway Pushed Eight Feet Out by It
in Few Years.
A travelling mountain is found ut the
Cascades of the Columbia. 1t is triple
peaked mass of darlS-brown basalt, six
or eight miles in length where it fronts
the river, and rises to n height of al
most two thousand feet above the
water. That it is in motion, says Gold
thwait's Geographical Magazine, is the
last thought which would be likely to
suggest itself to the mind of anyone
passing it, yet it is well-estnblished
fact that this entire mountain is NOV
ing slowly but steadily down to the
river, as if it had deliberate purpose
some time IN the future to dam the Co
lumbia and form n great lake from the
cascades to the Dalles. The Indian ira
ditions indicate immense movements of
the mountains in that region long before
white men came to Oregon, and the
early settlers : immigrants many of

river. Large tree stumps can be seen
standing deep in the water on this
shore. The railway engineers and the
brabemcn find that the line of the rail-
way which skirts the foot of the noun
tain is being continually forced out of
place. AT certain points the permanent
way and rails have been pushed eight
or ten feet out of line in few years.
Biologists attribute this strange phe-
nomenon to the fact that the basalt,
which constitutes the bulk of the noun
tain, rests on substratum of conglom-
crate or of soft sandstone which the
deep, swift current of the mighty river
is constantly wearing away, or that
this softer subroclz is of itself yielding
at great depths to the enormous weight
of the harder mine raj above.

The most remarkable example of re-

French colonial government. Such
wells began systematically to be bored
in 1857. the French engineer, NJ. Jus,
having demonstrated in 1856 that the
desert was endowed with large supplies
of underground water.
Tho total number of wells that have
been bored since that date in the de-
partments of Algiers, Oran and Con-
stantine is stated at Is, 1876. These wells
range from rs to 400 feet in depth, and
the low pressure common to the ma
jority of them forces the water over the
castings to distance of about two feet
above the ground. The waters are then
collected in small bitches, which con-
vcy them to the vineyards, date trees

which comprise the chief products. In
all about $1,000, 900 acres have been re-

The Clever Manner I'm Which He Freed
Himself from Elena.
Coyotes are no fools, according to
correspondent of the San Jose (Cal.)
Mercury. While camping near the
bank of n small stream he noticed
single coyote proceed to an old coral,
where lay some dead sheep. He walked
directly up to one of them, and grab
bling as much wool in his mouth as he
could conveniently hold, started with
ont any apparent hesitation toward n
shallow part of the stream. On arriving
at the water instead of plunging in
head foremost he turned and began to
back slowly down into the water.
Gradually the water arose along his
legs, and then to his sides, until only
his head appeared. Closing his eyes
with seemingly the utmost content
mcnt he backed still further down until
he was completely immersed, when
with quick jerk he released the wool
and appeared on the bank in the great
est delight. An examination showed
that the bunch OF floating wool was
fairly alive with hcas.

COOK is IN WISCONSIN.
The Banker Who Is Wanted at Hartford
and Juneau,

Banker Charles S. Cook, of Wiscon-
sin, led a merry chase at Chicago on
the Goth. Cook was director of the
Park National Bank Of Chicago, and
also owner of banks at Hartford and
Juneau, Dodge County, Wis. The Park
National failed, and soon aher came the
collapse Of the Hartford and Juneau
concerns. A Dodge County grand jury
learned that when the Juneau Bank
failed there was only s., 900 in the vaults
when there should have been $4,000.
The banker was arrested here but made
application for release on writ Of
habeas corpus and was released on bail.
Evidence in the case was heard by
Judge Baker, and the latter gave his de-
cision on the 9th. In the court room
were defendant Cook, his wife
and two female relatives, Attor-
neys Foster, Schuyler and Kramer, Dis
trict Attorney Lewis, of Dodge County,
and Attorney w G. Williams, of Mil
waukee, engaged to assist Lewis, as we'll
as others interested in the bankers well
fare. Judge Baker decided against
Cook, and Sheriff Hart was highly
elated. Williams was also full of Joy.
Cook was remanded to the custody of
Sheriff Gilbert. Attorneys Foster and
Kramer rushed to the government
building and applied for a writ
of habeas corpus. This was granted,
and the attorneys, accompanied
by Deputy Sheriff Michael Jones,
engaged a cab, which took them
to the depot, where it was supposed
Cook would start for Wisconsin at II 80
O'Clock. Cook did not show up. Eos
ter fastened to Sheriff Gilbert's office,
but Gilbert saw fit to turn the prisoner
over to Sheriff Hart. The latter hired a
hack, escorted Cook to the vehicle,
placed him inside and took a seat At
first Cook said he would not go,
but when Sheriff Hart pulled
out pair Of bracelets the
banker changed his mind. Foster
was on the alert. Taking Mrs. Cook
with him, he climbed into cab and di-
rected the driver to follow the hack
containing the prisoner. There was a
lively chase for several blocks, but be-
fore the bridge was reached the cab
bearing Foster and Mrs Cook got
caught in jam and the Milwaukee
officers and their prisoner escaped.
About o'clock State s-Attorney Longe-
necker received telegram from Sheriff
Hart, announcing that that the state
line had been crossed. Cook was in
Wisconsin. 1t is supposed the Hart
party was driven TO suburban station
and then took q train for Milwaukee.
Attorney Foster and Mrs. Cook came
back disconsolate. So did Attorney
Kramer and the deputy marshal.

He SUPPORTS IRELAND.

Cardinal Gibbons Opposes the Appoint
BALTIMORE, Md, June 1.-The Catho-
lie priesthood of this diocese, and espe-
cially the priests surrounding and most
intimately identified with Cardinal Glib
bons, are watching the developments in
the present movement looking toward
the appointment of bishops for the
United States of the same nationality as
the immigrants who settle here, with
undisguised interest. The Cardinal
himself is altogether too sick q
man to give the matter any
personal attention or consideration,
but one of the Cardinals advisers, the
Rev. DR.. /. Broydrick, says that the
Cardinals palace is in full accord with
the utterances recently made by Arch
bishop Ireland on the question, that it
is not possible that the Vatican would
entertain the scheme, and, that at any
rate, no interference of the character
suggested would ever be tolerated in
this country.
Cardinal Gibbons is expected to reach
here this evening from st. Thomas
Manor, where he has been soiourning
for some time past. He returns under
Imperative instructions from his physl-
clan. He is still extremely weak as a
result of his recent sickness, and will be
compelled to forego all active work for
some time to come. All the Episcopal
appointments of the Cardinal until next
autumn are to be filled by Bishop Cur
tbs, of Wilmington, Del.

Latk of Funds Necessitates Reduction
of the Census Office Force.
a Washington dispatch of the 9TH
says: "There is CONSERVATION in the
various branches of the census Offices.
1t grows out of the fact that money APP

sart to reduce the force. It is binted
tha between now and July 10 the force
is b be reduced at least 1000, which
talks in quite a large number of the
original appointees, and nearly all
thoe who were recently given a
thrte months appointment. This in
formation was gently impaired yesterday
by Chief Clerk Childs, on being asked
to tansfer number of the clerks to the
regular list or reappoint them for other
tire months terms. He replied that
it WIS impossible to do so, and on the
expiration of the time there would not
be any new ones appointed. The work
is n'where near completion, and it is
only thought possible by working the
fore night and day that by December
it vii be all up i'll shape. The state Of
affairs will delay the work of the Office
considerably, and will necessitate an
exta appropriation to co mplete it.

THE BEET PROSPECT.
The European Crop Badly Damaged by
ate

Advices from the sugar beet growing
districts of Germany, Austria, France,
and Belgium, show that the planting of
the beets was delayed three weeks by
the general prevalence of rains. Dur
ing May the weather was more favor
able to the growing crops, especially in
Germany, where the plants are in a
promising condition. About 1921, 900
hectares have been planted to sugar
beets. Germany shows an increase to
her acreage of per cent, Austria
from 8 to 10 pei cent, and Bel
GUM and France each from 10 to Is per
cent. The increased acreage in France
is largely due to the fact that cornfelds
that have been ruined by the heavy
rains were replowed and seeded to
beets. The average increase in the
acreage throughout Europe is per
cent. Further favorable weather re-
ports were received yesterday, and as
consequence prices declined. Some
estimates Of the crop place the yield at
$3.50, 900 tons while others place it over
1000, 600 tons. These figures, how
ever, are without practical value, as the
the next crop will not be safe for two
months yet. Tit improbable that there
will be any increase in the Russian
