MINING FOR HiDDENITE.
A Gem Accidentally Discovered That
as Valuable as the Diamond,

A Gem Accidentally Discovered That Il
as Valuable as the Diamond.
Some years ago, Edison, the electric
wizard, was convinced that platinum
existed in North Carolina. He sent
William Earl Hidden, an accomplished
mineralogist, in search of it. Mr.. Hid
den little knew at the time how full of
results to him that pursuit of platinum
would be. He could not find the desired
mineral, but he found something far
better, says the Great Divide.
In Alexander county, a quiet part of
the state many miles from railroad,
he was directed by Mr.. j. A. d. Steph-
enson to gem-bearing ground, and
looking little more narrowly found
some of the gems. He purchased some
land, returned to Edison, reported his
vain quest of platinum, then went
back to North Carolina. He at once
began to develop the mine. Sinking a
shaft in simple way, he gradually
made the opening larger and larger,
until specifically the mine presented
the aspect of a stone quarry. Out of
this rude pit in the earth were taken
unnumbered gems, one hitherto I'M
known. To this Mr.. j. Lawrence
Smith, of st. Louis, an eminent scien-
fist, gave Hidden's name, and "hidden-
ite,'' the equivalent of the diamond in
value, became instantly the fashion.
It's tender-tinted green crystals, its in
tense hardness and its new beauties
when cut We're only some of it's charms.
From the day of it's discovery to the
present it has been q hopeless task to
supply the demand for it. Every hid
denite found is purchased long in adj
vance.
But, strange as is this flashing green
miracle of the earth, the place of its
birth is yet stranger. The laborers
who are working in the mine handle
their picks with the greatest care
They are on the watch for pockets"
Possibly for an hour the digging goes
on and no pocket is struck Present.
ly the pick goes into an opening; with
careful fingers the earth is partially
removed, and finally the miner feels
with his hands every portion of the
walls of the opening. 1t may happen
that his search is in vain, but it is Of
tener the case that his fingers touch
little crystals that are so imbedded in
the sides of the pocket that their
points alone project outward. They
are carefully picked out. Perhaps all
are beryls, perhaps there are dozen
kinds of gems, or it may be that there
are only hiddenites. Sometimes gems
worth hundreds of dollars are thus
taken from one pocket.

Some Singular Changes.

When animals or plants are removed
from their peculiar and natural dis
tricts to one entirely different in eli
mate some surprising changes take
place. AS soon as possible after such
removal they change their character
and habits so as to conform with their
new homes, or else cease to exist A
good wool-bearing sheep transferred
from some northern pasture to the
tropics changes his coat to a thin COW
ering of struggling hairs scarcely re-
sembling wool; the dog becomes desti-
tute of hair altogether, and even bees
cease to lay up their stores of honey
and in a great measure lose their in
dustrious habits.

Base Ball.

The Rising Sun club played at
Aberdeen Friday with the Aerials

sided to be interesting, the Sun boys
having everything .heir own way.
Kimbell was in She box for the Wis

of Newark, did the twirling for the
home team, and besides being wild
was ineffective and received poor
support behind the bat. Game was
called at the end of the seventh in

catch the train. The score:

ball safely.
