Mice that sub.ist ON scorpIon..

Among the queer forms of animal
life that inhabit Death Valley is II
mouse that has acquired such taste
for scorpions that they form its entire
bill of fare. The scorpion carries it,.
formidable armament in the end of its
slender elongated abdomen, in the
shape OF an extremely vcnomous
hooked sting, When disturbed it Gle
Yates this in the air and goes i'll search
ofits disturber. But it is comparatively
slow in its motions, while mice are pro
verbal for their quiclsness the world
over. The mouse learned many genera
lions ago where the scorpion carries its
weapon, and when he meets it lie leaps
at the uplifted abdomen, takes off the
sting at single bite, and proceeds to
make meal of his helpless prey.

a Great Diamond.

The second largest diamond in the
world is now undergoing cutting pro-
cess at Antwerp. Its weight is ut pres
cnt IA carats, but it will lose no less
than PA carats before it is ready for the
market. Even then, however, it will
be the second largest diamond in the
world, standing between the so carats
of the Persian diamond, Great Mon
Gull and the 1917 carats of the Russian
"Orlof' brilliant Roughly speaking,
the Antwerp stone will be about the
size of pigeons egg. In its present
state it measures 2.141 inches by l. 167
inches. Its polished surface will meas
urc $50 of an inch each way. Soma
idea of the enormous expense of the
transnutation of these costly trifles
from the natural to the commercial
state may he gathered from the fact
that the Great English crown diamond,
the 'Kol--noor," which has only the
comparatively modest weight of i0a IL
carats, cost no less than as, 900 to cut
and polish. The polishing of very
large diamond is a very slow process,
and it will be long time before the
actual value Of the Antwerp stone can
be determined as it's lustre and water
cannot be decided until il has left tho
polishers hands.

ARE THE OCEANS DRYING UP,
Proofs That Their Waters Are Graduail,
Disappearing.

Proofs That Their Waters Are GrasiuaiI,
Disappearing.
Sir Isaac Newton surmised, although
lie could give no reason for the conclu-
sions he had reached. that in the course
of time the earth would become per-
fcctly dry. Others, most notably De
Verne, Hamilton prof. A. L. and the
younger Lysander, all believed that
eventually the earth would become as
dry as the proverbial chip Even in
this day and age the theory has many
adhcrcnts. At Il recent meeting of the
French Geological society NJ. Trans
chold of Moscow, Russia. read n paper
entitled "Non-invariability of the Level
of the Ocean" 1t terminates with the
following curious and interesting con-
illusions:
LIN proportion as certain parts of
the earth crust rise from the bottom of
the sea above its level the latter must
be lowered
2EThc surfaces of nearly all the con
tinents and islands have at one time
formed portions of the oceans floor
They have risen from the water partly
because of the retreat of the waters.
of the waters of the seas is transported
to them in the form of lakes. rivers,
eternal SHOWS, glaciers and organized
substances. Owing to these actions the
waters of the oceans have been con-
stantly diminishing and their levels
lowered correspondingly.
TN proportion rs the earth cools
down ice accumulatcs near the poles
and on the tops OF mountains; water is
taken more deeply into the surface of
the terrestrial crust, the formation of Inv
drafted minerals being manifested
everywhere.
The result of these CON illusions is that
since all the water that ever existed
may still exist in the form of perpetual
ice, snow, hydrated minerals, etc. the
waters of ali oceans have been gradu-
ally disappearing, and that the lower
ing of the ocean is going on even at the
present day, and faster, perhaps, than
yer before.
