According to computation OF the
Berg und HuettcnmaennischeZ Zeitung,
the amount of salt i'll the sea waters OF
the globe, il extracted. would be great
er in mass than the land far as it
appears above the surface. The seas.
it says, cover T3 per cent of the earth's
surface, estimated at 9.26o,000 Ger
mani square miles The percentage of
chlornatrium in the sea is the same at
all depths. Assuming that the aver
age depth of the sea is a half (Gcrman)
mile there are 500. 900 cubic miles of
sea water. A cubic mile of sea water
contains. on the average, about twen-
ty-five Kilograms of salt The 3.40O.Oo0
cubic miles of sea water would there
fore contain s5, 900 cubic miles of dis
titled pure salt. There is therefore
little danger of a salt famine, is the
rather logical deduction of the writer
Cicero was the greatest book col
lector of antiquity. One of his letters
is extant in which he urges Atticus, a
learned friend who was compelled
from poverty to sell his library at auc-
ton. not TO dispose of the books at
public sale, but to keep them until
the writer is able to purchase them,
Cicero adding that he is saving all his
rents for that purpose.

DIAMONDS SGT IN IVORY.
New Plan Bsing Tried by Fashionable
Earopran Jewellers

The fashionable jewelers. of London,
Paris and othSr continental capitals
have hit upon a new idea regarding
the setting of diamonds. says n foreign
exchange. They propose to use in the
setting ivory instead of silver or gold,
and it must be acknowledged that
there is some reason for doing so. 1t
is well known how difficult il is to-
clean the silver or gold setting proper
ly and to preserve the original luster.
Gid settings have the drawback of re-
flecting their yellow color on the
stone. and to depreciate thereby the
water of the stone. Another weighty
objection is that they lose the bright
ness which is peculiar to these metals
as soon as they are used as the only
setting for rejecting and transparent
stones, while they are beautiful and
add to the appearance of diamonds set
with pearls, cats'-eyes or chrysopras.
Ivory would solve this question at
once, which at present can only be at
tained by setting the transparent with
a half transparent stone in gold or
silver.

THE DIzeR LOCKOUT
Has Aroused Weymouth Citizens 10 . Nigh
Pitch Of lndlunatlon

Boston, June 26-Three thousand citi-
zens Of East Weymouth held an indigna-
tion meeting In that town last night, to
protest against the en- ployment OF Italian
shoemaksrs In the factory OF NJ. O. Dizer
q Co. From the top Of hill a cannon
kept up AN incessant booming during the
demonstration.
The speeches were of a denunciatory
nature, and the big crowd cheered the
speakers from start 20 finish. There were
large delegations from neigh boring towns
and cities within radius OF Is miles.
1t appears that a fortnight ago the
places Of 80 union lasters were filled by
Italians from New York. The union men
were out on n vacation at the time, and
when the shop reopened for business they
were told their services were not required.
The call for last nights indignation
meeting was signed by all the business
men, who refuse TO have any business
dealings with the Italians Many of the
locked-out lasters have been employed in
the factory for nearly a quarter Of a
century, and some are veterans of the
late war, who carry rebel lead In their
