THE DIAMOND MINES.
How the Precious Gems are Obtained
In South Africa.

Working by electric light in the desert
of Africa. with power furnished by coal
costing $50 a ton, was the novel expert
cncc of George D. Longstreet, an English
mining engineer. During a long resi-
dence in South Africa Mr.. Longstreet
travelled as far into the interior as Living
stone lid visited a number of places which
have never been seen by dozen white
men. and in many regions found that he
was the first white man the natives had
seen.
The control of the diamond mines by
the Rothchiltls, " said Mr.. Longstreet, lis
entirely due to the over, capitalization of
the original companies. Some of them
were capitalized as high as $25, 600, 900.
They are now limiting the production of
gems to the demand. Diamonds will
never go down in price, and t." days of
romance in South Africa diamond min
ing are past forever. In early days
the mines were divided into little allot-
ments Of thirty feet square, and each OF
these was sold to a corporation for $780,

large enough to put a shanty on. | have
one mine as many as 10000 naked Zuius,
whose work, oddly enough, was carried
on by electric light within year after it
was invented. In those days our chief
difficulty was to prevent the thefts of tae
workmen. We had an overseer for every
five men, and yet the beggars managed
to steal large numbers of diamonds.
These ZuIus are born thieves. All tive
tales of Rider Haggard. whom | knew III
South Africa, l have heard often from
the lips of the Zulus.

-'hr Use of Wtndmills Instead ol
Water or Steam Power.


Water or Steam Power.
Steam power is being gradually intro
dured into the sugar mills but the island
!, still well studded with windmliS,
which peasngly diversity the morot-
onous aspect of the vcr-cultivated
country. Indeed, with SO constant a
power as the trade wind, most of the
work of this favored land can be PER
formed almost free of cost. If you need
water you have only to sink a well and
erect windmill over it, which will kerr
your reservoirs full. The coral rcck is
so porous that there is no such thing as 81
river in the whole island. The whole
rainfall sinks through the soil to form
underground streams, which discharge
their copious floods below the surface OF
the sea. Well-making presents easy con-
dltions here,
Some curious stories attach to these
windmills, and one of the most note
worthy incidents in connection with
them occurred recently. At a mill
known as st. Georges, the men in at
tendance were shortening sail; one man
did not let 90 his hold soon enough, and
was carried aloft by the great forty five
foot sail. He, fortunately, had all his
wits about him, and managed to get his
feet round bar of the sail, and to hold
on to the one above. In this position he
was carried round, the mill revolving
with increased rapidity, as the man
whose duty it was to feed it had rushed
out at the first alarm.
A cry was raised to choke the rollers
with cane, and so stop the mill; this was
done at the imminent risk of breaking
some of the machinery, and so releasing
the sails altogether After six complete
revolutions the mill was stopped, fairly
choked by the bundles of cane thrust into
its jaws, leaving the SAIL to which tho
man still chung, uppermost, and he
ninety feet from the ground. With
marvellous nerve, or rather lack OF
nerves he proceeded to climb down THAI
pnrilous ladder, and reached the ground
without assistance. An easy calculation
will show he had travelled close on to
six hundred yards in his aerial journey,
and half the distance with his head
downward. Probably not a white man

Georgetown, in the West Indies, is
city of some little beauty. 1t is well
laid out with wide, straight avenues that
intersect at right angles. Many of the
public buildings and private dwellings
are we'll constructed and handsome. One
thing that pre-eminently distinguishes it
among tropical seaboard towns is its
reddish brown streets. The public high
ways of all these cities are made from
coral sand, mud, and powdered shells.
from the ocean bottom. The result is
white, glaring streets, which reflect the
suns intensely hot rays, and make every
body feel twice as disagreeable as there
is any necessity for. In Georgetown this
mud, coral, and stuff is baked in a large
pottery oven, whence it issues dark and
grateful to the eyes. 1t makes II splen-
lid covering for the tops of the roads,
hard. elastic, and smooth. In the mid
tile of some of the prominent streets ca
mails have been cut, fed with water from
{; reservoir in the back country. Water
lilies grow in the canals, the length of
the entire main street being given up to
the development of that marvellous plant
the Victoria Regia Its great flowers,
scarlet and yellow, are rs big as small
:abbage, and on its pads, three or four
feet in diameter, child of six could
safely stand. One turns from plant OF
this kind as from an august Bengal tiger.
There is none of its own world with
whom to compare it.

AS the waste of animal food in those

should be kept well flushed with plenty
of water, for pure water is to the kidn y,

There is no reason why, with proper
