THE "RRAGANZA" DIAMOND
The Biggest Diamond in the World and Its
Value,

The biggest alleged diamond in the
world is the "Braganza." 1t is the size
of goose egg, weighing eleven ounces,
and is still uncut, though valued at
S25, 100000 Three outlawed criminals
found it in a rivulet in Brazil. They
surrendered it and received pardOnS in
return. The stone is now in the treas
ury of Portugal. Experts suspect that
it is only white topaz and it is kept
! hidden in order that Portugal may not
lose the financial credit attaching to
the possession of a gem of such enOr-
nous price. The German Aulic Coun-
cilor Beireis, of Helmstadt, had a white
topaz as big as an ostrich egg, which
he always claimed, and many believed
to be a diamond. After his death, in
1909, it could not be found. 1t was
thought that he destroyed it rather
than that his reputation should suffer
by the discovery of its true nature.
1t seems strange to take a couple of
ounces of charcoal in ones hand and
to consider that one is handling the
pure material of the diamond. II you
could transform it into crystalline form
you could sell those few pinches OF
stuff for one million dollars perhaps.
No wonder that chemists are eager tc
discover the secret of effecting this
change. To assert that they will never
learn how to make crystals of carbon
would be absurd. By means of the
voltaic battery real diamonds of almost
microscopic size have been deposited
upon threads of platinum. But even if
successful process should be discov-
cred, it might be that the cost of max
ing diamond by it would be bigger
than the price of a stone of equal size
and purity from the mines. One recalls
the experiment of Prof. Sage, who
turned out gold pieces in his laboratory
from gold extracted from the ashes of
certain burned vegetable substances.
The result was beautiful, scientifically
speaking, but the expense of making
in this way one five dollar piece was
about twenty-five dollars.-San Fran
cisco Examiner.

GERMAN PAWNSHOPS.
Institutions That Are Managed by Public
Authorities.

There is a strange variety of pawn
shops in Germany. We find institu-
tions under public control working
side by side with private establish
ments. The latter lend lower amounts,
but at a higher rate of interest, than
the royal, state, ducal, county, and
municipal pawnshops. In no case,
however, can it be more than twenty
four per cent. There are about one
hundred publicly-managed pawnshops
in Germany. In Berlin, at the Kon-
iglichen Leihamt, and at the munich
pal pawnshops at Breslau, Munich,
Hamburg, Dantzic, Strasburg and
many other large towns, the interest
is twelve per cent. The Berlin royal
pawnshop pays ten per cent. on its
capital, and gives the surplus every
year to charitable purposes.
At Dresden the interest is nine per
cent, at Leipsic eight per cent, and in
some towns less. The period for the
loans ranges from three to sixteen
months. The interest is frequently on
graduated scale, being highest on
pal pawnshops are connected with the
savings banks, and are self-suppOrt-
ing. In most towns they advance
loans on securities at four or five per
cent. There is great elasticity and di'
versity about the German system OF
pawnshops, but on the whole the Ger
man Liehaus of Pfandhaus does not
compare favorably with the French
mont de piete.
In Austria the system is somewhat
similar to that in Germany. There are
royal pawnshops in Vienna and Prague
which charge ten per cent. interest.
There are provincial pawnshops, and
| in many towns municipal pawnshops.
If the authorities do not establish
pawnshops, or if they do not supply
the needs of the population, private
enterprise is allowed to step in, but is
kept very closely under control. The
pawnbrokers have to give guarantees,
and their shops are under inspection
