A Scientist Thinks That They May Be

Prof. G. e. Foote, in paper read be-
fore meeting of scientific societies in
Washington, spoke Of geological for

teresting suggestions. Ills thesis was
based upon the claim that in collec-
tion OF very remarkable specimens Of
meteoric iron found on the side Of Crater
mountain. Arizona, he had discovered
diamonds
Crater mountain rises abruptly 432
feet above the surrounding plain. The
walls of the so-called crater, which are
very steep, are formed Of sandstone and
limestone, and arc lifted at an angle of
forty degrees. But as no lava or other
volcanic products are found, the hollow
cannot be considered q true crater. AS
this depression IS of similar character
to that from which the diamonds at
Kimberly, South America, are dug,
why should not diamonds abound in
Arizona, New Mexico and Mexico,
which are the richest regions for me-

Book knowledge

Is not the only thing requisite In ply
sician. Unless he is born fos the busi.
ness, unless he has the subtle, indefinable
power of looking through a man and
seeing the disease In its most secret
hiding place, he will never be a good
physician, even though he graduated from
a German university A man may dis
sect and vivisect, be may know every de-
tall OF human anatomy till he can, by
looking at bone heaps and fossils, trace
the descent of his ancestry down TO the
lowest marsuplal and beyond, he may
know all those things and more, but un-
less he is born for physician he will
never rise above mediocrity.
An illustration Of the great advantage
given to man by an Unborn power of
diagnosis Is seen in the results of the
prrctices of Drs, France & Ottman OF
the France Medical Institute. These
eminent doctors have had, 10 be sure, all
the advantages of thoi oiough college train
ing and widespread experience which the
most ambitious physicians could desire ;
but by the side Of others who have that
fitness and nothing else. they stand out
preeminent. Their cures are remarkable.
They are worked in cases which seem
utterly hopeless, aud no one, no matter
what his malady, should despair until
after consulting DTs France q Ottman.

1t is a thing for us all to rejoice at, that

a sterling fellow as Harry Evesham."
"But 1 thought you loved the lass

"Loved her; of course did, and shall
love her as long as have sense to ap-

"An' yet you give her up so quietly.

"You were terrible fellow among
the lasses, don't doubt, Bladon; but !
am afraid you cannot quite understand
my feelings for Miss Arlington hard
ly can myself. You see was not SC

be nothing more than sister to me-"
San you're not fretting over the loss
of the lass?"
''No," said Arundel calmly, "for
have not lost her yet. do not thinl,
Harry Evesham will refuse to let heI
still be my loving friend and sister"
Like as not" Bladon confessed, but
the reflection did not give him unal
loyed pleasure. Il was bad enough foi
the young master to be smitten with the
charms of pretty girl, but to carry bis

married woman, was q proposal be-

AsToR AND MARQUETTE.
These Two Names Arc Household Word
on the Island OF Macklnac.

These Two Names Arc Household Words
on the Island OF MaclSlnac.
One Of the most important points of
interest Mackinac offers to the stranger
is the headquarters of the old American
Fur Company, built by John Jacob
Astor in 1909, writes Marquis LAMA in
Frank Leslie's Monthly. The house, a
long, rambling establishment with
dingy, low-ceilinged corridors and an
exterior continually fresh from the
barbarous brush of the calciminer, is
employed now as dwelling. Within
these rooms the nucleus of the Astor
millions was formed and gradually as
sumed colossal proportions; and the
name Of John Jacob is as familiar a
household word on the island as that of
Father Marquette.
Jaques Marquette, French Jesuit
priest and the renowned explorer of the
Mississippi, was undoubtedly the first
white man to visit the island where he
started an Indian mission. The precise
location of his chapel is not known, but
there is reason to believe that IL stood
in close proximity to the Huron fort or
palisaded village, built in 1912 and later
destroyed by fire. The grave of Father
Marquette was unknown until the
year 1877, when it was discovered in St.
1gnace by Rev. Father Jacker a Catho-
lie priest.
Despite the fact that more than two
hundred years have elapsed since the
death of Marquette. the village of
Mackinac is replete with hallowed
memories of him. His name is always
spoken with reverential admiration.
To these simple people he stands in the
light Of hero, representing all that IL
lofty in character and all that is brave
and exalted in discipline. He will re-
main forever to them silent example
of generous self-sacriflce and volun-
tary hardship in the interest of noble
cauSe.

that George Arundel would weather
the storm, and the silver lining seemed
at last coming to the cloud.
Cheered with these glad tidings,
Wanda's spirits revived; but there was
another reason why the rose should
come back to her cheek again and the
elasticity to her footstep.
"Wanda, dear" Mrs. Evesham said to
her one morning, - she was preparing
for school. "Have yea forgotten that
Harry is coming to-day?"
Forgotten! Had she for one single

thought you would have been delighted
at the suggestion"
Then the foolish little thing must
needs burst out crying and vow with un.
necessary ardor that she was dying to
see the dear lad again, whereupon Mrs
Evesham's eyes were opened and there
was grave, anxious look in them as
she kissed the girls sweet face and
bade her hurry through with the after
moons exercises.

AlpfDnse Damiens' strength was laid
low now. Popular opinion was stronger
than the bonds he held over Squire
Robson, and that worthy, seeing no
way TO wrigglc out of his dilemma re-
luctantly signed his commitment TO the
State lunatic asylum, while even
James Dolman kept discretely in the
background and offered no remon.

trary TO expectations, gave rapid signs
Of amendment.
And herewith, Mr.. Dolman's line Of
conduct was truly remarkable. lie
seemed TO have utterly turned his back
on the interests Of his quondam patron,
loading him with abuse and even refus-
ing to recognize his insanity as an cx-
cuse for his misconduct. Then, too, he
crawled in obsequious humility before
the blind mans friends, especially the
stout old servitor, who regarded him
much as a mastif might have looked
upon wandering cur. The "gyruls"
grumbled at the additional work in the
household, but when Martha ventured
an objection, his answer was terse and
eloquent:
