taken for ordinary crystals, but which
in reality are diamonds in the rough,
aggregating in value somewhere near
one million dollars. The clay that is
to be worked is put up in strong sacks
and is as jealousy guarded as any

This is indeed wonderful sight and
one that will draw to the Mining

have read all about the production of
diamonds but have never had an oppor-

JUNE'S FLORAL DISPLAY,

"Uncle John" Thorpe Provides a Fine
Programme for tho Month.
June is fine month for flowers as
as well as for weddings and will not
be ignored by Uncle John" Thorpe
and his assistants During the latter
part CT May the great flower beds about
the big greenhouses have blossomed
with display of pansies and tulips
that have challenged the admiration of
observers.
This month the pansies will be in all
their glory. Tulips will be about out,
but there are many other flowers to
take their place. Peonies will be out
in the greatest profusion. The big red
and white blossoms will make the
flower beds about the greenhouses look
like natural carpets. On the wooded
island all the hardy Towering plants
will be in bloom and that will be the
prettiest spot in the fair grounds.
Roses will not be forgotten, nor will
they be missed in the floral display for
the month. The great variety of the
flower affords an opportunity for I'M
commonly fine displays, and the chances
will be made the most of. Designs will
be worked out in them, and the display
will be literally ''acres of roses"
Rhododendrons are flowers of great
beauty and adaptibility for display
work, and they will be found by their
admirers in profusion. So will the
campanulas, pretty, bell-shaped blue
flowers. So far no particular displays
have been arranged for special days,
but later such plans will be matured.
All in all, the floral features for the
month of June will be unexcelled dur
ing the time of the fair. 1t will be the
month par excellence for lovers of
nature in flowers and foliage to go to
Jackson park.

Oriental Paintings That Were Recently
Opened to the Public.
The opening of the Japanese exhibit
in the Palace of Fine Arts a few DAYS
ago drew great many people, who
went away delighted as well as aston
ished at what they saw.
The entrance to the exhibit is guarded
on one side by a great bronze eagle. on
the other by bronze cast of a protect
ing deity. A bas-relief of dragons in
clouds, done in. bronze, stands Just be-
yond, and near by is a representation
OF the Kasaka pagoda, an exquisite
piece of carving. At the entrance
hangs magnificent tapestry of sillSen
chrysanthemums, and a painting of
carps by Tukok, greatest of Japanese
artists.
just beyond the silken hangings of
the entrance is a huge gorilla carved in
cherry wood. Cases containing cary
irgs in ivory and wood of favorite
deities and heroes occupy the center of
the room, while the walls are hung
with tapestry and paintings on silk OF
paper.
The most noticeable pictures are
those OF the sacred mountain Fuji-san,
one being of the top yelled in mist, and
the other in cloisonne work of the mist
clearing away.
A magnificent bronze Is that of a
stump with a rooster perched upon it,
while on the ground beside it is the old
hen with her brood. The long tail

Several of the mining states of the
west have made extensive and elabo-

in some cases the displays of agates

onyx and is exceptionally fine. The
stone and marble exhibits of some of
the states are also entitled by their
beauty to more than a casual glance.
But the center of attraction just now
is the diamond exhibit of the Kimberly
