A Diamond Fraud.

Whitened Cape diamonds have been
sold lately in Belgium, at prices much
above their value. A French chemist
fnds out that on being dipped in a
weak aniline solution the diamonds
lose their yellowish tinge, and appear
ss pure white as the Indian or Brazilian.
A bath of nitric acid will show the
fraud, or a little alcohol.

A Jules Verne idea of communicating
with other planets through the meteor
currents of space is suggested by Mr..
Hiram NJ. Stanley. If an object Of
human design be enclosed in ball Of
iron. and projected into some other
meteor Shosl by the aid of modern ex-
plosives, it is regarded as not altogether
impossible that the ball and its con-
tsnts might reach some other world
and be found by its inhabitants.

some time In Paris, where he learned to
read French. Tosthis day he receives a
COPY OF the O1icidl, which is brought
from the coast to his capital by special
messenger. His vanity was greatly
tickled when he heard that session OF
the French Parliament, last winter, was
devoted to a discussion OF his august
person and kingdom, and he displayed
his qualification by dancing around the
copy Of the OFFICIAL which contained the
news.
In ordinary times the army OF Daho-
mey is composed Of 1000 Amazons ana
1000 to 5000 men warriors. This Is the
well-drilled standing army, which, In
peace, is kept at or near the capital,
ready to march anywhere at moments
notice. When an important war is on
hand the King calls out the reserve,
which increases the strength OF MS
army to 1900 or $4,000.
The most unique features Of Dahomey
are It's large force Of women warriors
and its terrible system Of religious sac
rihceS, In which hundreds OF human
victims are butchered at the capital
every year. Dahomey is the only coun-
try in the world which makes women
part Of its military system. In the year
1929 the King, hard pressed by enemies,
placed a large number Of women upon
his Notifications to deceive the oeselg-
ing army with regard TO his military
strength. These women acted with
such unexpected gallantry and engaged

higher Education In vlrglnla.

The University Of Virginia has passed
resolutions admitting women 10 register
for the pursuit of studies ia one or more
courses in the academic department
with the consent Of the professor 10
charge Of each school for which regis
trati0n is desired, and, be 10 noticed,
with the full payment OF the regular
matriculation fee OF the university.
Having paid this fee and the regular
examination fee of s., and having passed
the same examination as the men, un-
der precisely the same conditions, the
women students will receive q certif-
cate to that effect of such form as the
faculty may subscribe. This opening
is due to the achievement Of Caroline
Preston Davis, who, having passed
several OF the university examinations
given TO her privately by professor,
asked for a certificate. To the final eX-
animation TO mathematics Miss Davis
handed In a paper absolutely perfect.

TWO EDglishmen, Messrs. Skertchly

Two Englishmen, MesSrs. Skertchly
and Burton, made a very careful study
OF the AmazonS. Burton said they show
ed the most desperate courage and reck-
less daring, and are very formidable
enemies. Skertchly said that Amazons
delight in nothing more than in polish
ing their gun barrels, which CLEAN like
silver in the sun. The French gained
a vivid idea of their ferocity in battle
during the late war, when, under dead
II fire from the French fortiications,
they made charge after charge up TO
the works. When at last put TO fight
and pursued, dying women on the
ground caught some Of the French
troops by the legs and tried to throw
them down and stab them with their
swords. All Dahomeyan soldiers, men
and women, have ration OF fntoxi-
eating liquor before they go into battle
The French say that in the war Of
1sS0-9O the perfect reckleSsness of the
AmazonS was doubtless increased by
liberal potations Of gin. The women
had Just enough liquor to make them
deviliSh without interfering with their
powers Of lOcomotion.
One OF our pictures gives very faith
ful idea Of their military dress. Their
sleeveless TUNES OF blue and white ma
tive cloth, their skirts falling TO their
knee, and their short trousers make it
easy to distinguish them from the
nearly naked male warriors. On par
ade in the capital they wear bead
ornament Of horn tips which, however,
is not worn in battle. Neither do they,
when advancing toward the enemy, wear
the bells seen in the picture and which
are always hung around their necks in
time OF peace. The well-known tiskle
of the Amazon bell makes proclamation
to all the male. creation that it is high
time TO scurry down the bywaYs or get
ont of sight somewhere to avoid meet
ing the Kings soldiers; for the man who
dares to keep the road when an Amazon
aporoashes pays for his temerity with
his life. On all the highways these
women are more isolated from the other

sex than any nun. Skartchly said II
made his blood boil to be compelled to
stink out of view like thief whenever
he heard that odious bell.
Another picture here is taken from a
sketch by French officer OF scene he
witnessed at one Of the battles near Ko-
tonu, three years ago, when two Anna
IONS armed with bows and arrows were
advancing on a dead run, one OF them
Furnishing aloft the bloody heads OF two
Senegalese soldiers which she had just
severed from their bodies.
Their weapons are blunderbuses, flint
locks, and bows and arrows. Their plan
of warfare is always to take the enemy
by surprise. They usually march to the
attack in the gray Of the morning and
before the enemy is awake they are upon
him with their impetuous war cry and
fierce onslaught. Mr.. Chandouin says
be saw 1000 Amazons in 1880
grouped around the King, perfectly
motionless as they stood in line, but
ready to bound at signal from their
master. Old or young, homely or hand
some, they were remarkable specta-
Gle. They appeared every whit as mus
cular as the male warriors and their
bearing was military. The crowd of
people approached too near and a half
dozen Amazons walked along the line
flourishing their guns and crying with
imperlous gesture Back, back"
whereupon the crowd made haste to re-
tire to a safe distance.
After the late war King Behanzin
caused number Of Amazons to be be-
healed on the charge of cOwardice. He
endeavors in every way to make them
perfectly fearless and Indifferent 10 pain.
Mr. Borghero describes a shar4 fight
that he witnessed at the capital a
few years ago. Thousands OF bundles
of thorny cactus bushes made an OBJ
struction 1900 feet long, % feet broad
and 7 feet high. Beyond this obstruc-
ton rose the framework OF a house of
the same lenghth and 10 feet broad and
high, the two slopes Of its roof covered
with a bed of thorns. The barefooted
women three times surmounted the
heap of thorns, scaled the house, and
then appeared before the King, their
feet and legs covered with blood, and
their faces wreathed with smiles Of tri-
umph. Three thousand women took
part in this astounding spectacle.
Human sacrifices are feature of the
religious customs. In Abomey, during
the annual sacrifices, 500 or more vic
tins are put to death to appease the
gods and carry messages to the King
ancestors in the other world. These
sacrifices are very elaborate, and one
Of them is illustrated here. The vic
Tins, tied hand and foot, are fastened
into the basketsgand carried to the top
of a platform twenty feet from the
ground. Here the King, under his
umbrella Of state, imparts the messages
he desires the victims TO take TO the
other world. They are then raised
aloft and dashed to the ground, where
a crowd of Amazons and common people
rush with the greatest fury upon the
poor wretches, cut off their heads,
and often divide their bodies into
