RUINED BY WEEVIL.
Grain Stored at San Francisco Has the
Heart Eaten Out of It.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 6.-An evening pa
per states that weevils are playing havoc
with the stored wheat in this port, and if
something is not done soon, there will be
no grain left with which to load the disen-
gagged ships now in port. Some days ago
it was publicly stated that 600 tons of
wheat at Port Costa was weevily and now
it is announced that II, 600 tons at tine Ne
vada dock and 4, 400 toGs at Port Costa are
infected and Will have TO he removed.
That makes -, 900 tons unfit for shipment
and will have to be used for pig and chick
en- feed. If the wheat had been shipped at
the low rate of freight in existence few
months ago small profit might have
been made. Now it will he almost a total
loss

THE "8RAGaNCA~ DIAMOND.
Dts the Biggest In the World and II
Valued at S25, 900 900.

The biggest alleged diamond in the
world is the "Braganca. 1t Is the size
of a goose egg, weighing II ounces, and is
still uncut, though valued at S25, 600, 600.
Three outlawed criminals found it in q
rivulet in Brazil They surrendered it
and received pardons in return. The stone
is now in the treasury of Portugal. Ex-
perts suspect that il is only white topaz,
and it is kept hidden in order that Portu-
gal may not lose the financial credit at
taching 10 the possession of a gem of such
enormous price The German A ulic 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 reputa-
ton should suffer by the discovery Of its
true nature.
1t seems strange to take couple Of
ounces of charcoal in ones hand and to
consider that one is handling the pure ma
terial Of the diamond. If you could trans
form it into crystalline form, you could
sell those few pinches of stuff for 81, ,0O0,-
600 perhaps. No wonder that chemists are
eager to 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 micro
scopic size have been deposited upon
threads of platinum. But, even if sue
cessful process should be discovered, it
might be that the cost of making a dia-
mond by it would be bigger than the price
of stone of equal size and purity from
the mines. One recalls the experience Of
Professor Sage, who turned out goldpieces
in his laboratory from gold extracted from
the ashes of certain burned vegetable sub
stances. The result was beautiful, scien-
tifically speaking, but the expense of max
ing in this way one So piece was about

Browne There has been very bitter telling
between them for some time.
Glenn invited Browne to 60 out of the
state to fight and Browne asked for two
weeks TO fill engagements in court. At
the expiration of that time he refused to
go outside the state, stating he did not
believe in duelling, but he wrote Glenn
that lie would be at the Kimble house all

by hunting him mp. Glenn replied that he

make or unmake an actor according to
the tips received, the metropolis would
open her eyes to the fact that other
places do really exist and that they can
appreciate talent as we'll as she. There
