A Great Diamond.

The second largest diamond IN the
world is now undergoing cutting pro-
cess at Antwerp. It's weight is at pres
ent 474 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
gul," and the 1877 carats of the Russian
''Orloff'' brilliant Roughly speaking,
the Antwerp stone will be about the
size of pigeons egg. In its present
state it measures 2.741 inches by 1. 1877
inches. Its polished surface will meas
ure $50 of an inch each way. Some
idea of the enormous expense of the
transmutation of these costly trifies
from the natural to the commercial
state may be gathered from the fact
that the Great English crown diamond,
the ''Koh-i-noor, which has only the
comparatively modest weight of 102 IL
carats, cost no less than se6, 900 to cut
and polish. The polishing of very
large diamond is a very slow process
and it viii be a long time before the
actual value of the Antwerp stone can
be determined, as its lustre and water
cannot be decided until it has left the
pOliShers hands.

Curious Facts.

Enough spider web to go around the
world would weigh one-half pound.
The amount of precious metals that
go into the gold and silversmith's arts
is enormous. Europe consumes up

silver annually for plate, jewelry and
ornaments
They are seriously discussing in Eng
land the project of building a CAN'T
lever bridge 200 feet high, and carrying
two railway tracks, across the English
channel The estimate cost is S173,-
$50 900.
The longest single span of wire in the
world is used for the telegraph line,
and is stretched over the river kistuah.
between Bezorah and Sectanazoum.

Iceland. Greenland, Labrador and the
Hebrides, and also in the Northern
Pacific. II is sent to market in a dry

ARE The OCEANS DRYING UPi
Proofs That Their Waters Are Gradually
Disappearing.

Sir Isaac Newton surmised although
he could give no reason for the conclu-
sions he had reached. that in the course
of time the earth would become per-
fectly dry. Others, most notably De
Verne, Hamilton prof a. l. and the
younger Lysander. all believed that
even trallv the earth would become as
dry as the proverbial chip Even in
this day and age the theory has many
adherents. At 4 recent meeting OF the
French Geological society NJ. Trans
chold of Moscow, Russia. read paper
entitled n-invaria bility 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
2-The 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.
3-As continents are formed one part
of the waters OF the seas is transported
to them in the form of lakes, rivers,
eternal seows, glaciers and organized
substances. Owing 10 these actions the
waters of the oceans have been con-
stantly diminishing and their levels
lowered correspondingly
I'm proportion as the earth cools
down ice accumulates near the poles
and on the tops OF mountains; water is
taken more deeply into the surface OF
the terrestrial crust, the formation of hv-
drafted minerals being manifested
everywhere
The result of these conclusions 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 all 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
ever before

ing mutual surprise party to themselves
in the hills near Helena, Mont, few
days ago. The hunter, arrayed in a
heavy, wolf-skin overcoat, fur side out
ward, was examining some traps set the
previous night. He was STOPPING over
one, rearranging the bait, when there
was the sound of fierce growl, and
heavy weight fell suddenly on his back,
bearing him to the ground, so that he
barely missed being caught in his own
trap He managed to shake himself
free, and, recovering his feet, found
facing him a full-grown buffalo wolf.
The wolf seemed quite as much sur
prised as the hunter, and they looked
at each other for some seconds before
the fight (which ended in the death of
the wolf began The brute evidently
was fooled by the overcoat and the
hunters STOPPING position, and mistook
him for another wolf.

Mice that subsist on Scorpions.

Among the queer forms of animal
life that inha bit Death Valley is a
mouse that has acquired such taste
for scorpions that they form its entire
bill of fare. The scorpion carries its
formidable armament in the end of its
slender, elongated abdomen, in the
shape of an extremely venomous
hooked sting, When disturbed it ele

at the uplifted abdomen, takes off the
sting at a single bite, and proceeds to
make a meal of his helpless prey.

THE woods just north of West Point
are the home of more than a score of
American eagles. 4 very appropriate

On account of increased railway
rates the British army authorities
have adopted the novel method of
sending transports required for various
maneuvers by road, in trains of wagons
drawn by traction engines The cost
has thus been reduced fully one-half.

the blow was struck. An autopsy failed

Following is an expert opinion on this

Medical Jurisprudence:
The possibility of person dying
from shock attendant upon an in jury

theoretical explanations have been Of

place. The shock from an injury may
prove fatal in two cases.
First, when the blow leaves no trace
behind it, and second, where great vio-
lence has been done to some important
organ without occasioning a sufficient
amount OF hemorrhage to produce
death.

Sullivan has said pugilist can more
easily knock out an opponent with big
than with little gloves. He is right A
big glove covers more space, and brings
the blow with more force and with
greater ease than does smaller one.
Again, for fear the writer may be
misunderstood, it Will be well to re-
peat: No healthy pugilist. we'll trained,

fist of an antagonist, providing he OBJ
serves the rules laid down for pugilists

Donovan, in the writer's opinion (al
ways taking into consideration that he
does not know whether an autopsy was
made, and, if so, what its result might
have BEEN was proba bly, not killed by
the mere shock of the Knockout blow
from Dunfee's fist-that is, providing
he was in condition.
Proper training enters largely into
the study of such eases. If, as already
stated, Donovan was in good condition,
he must have suffered from some or
ganic trouble, perhaps unknown to him
self or friends, or he would have recov-
cred (even after hours of unconscious
ness from the mere effects of the fist
blow, no matter what the strength with
which it was delivered.
