Whence Comes the Diamondq

Theories concerning the origin of
the diamond have been both numer-
Gus and curious. Some mineralogists
have suggested that it is the resi-
dence of carbon vapors dissirated by
heat during that indefinite epoch
known as the "coal period" New
ton says that in his opinion it is "a
coagulated unctuous substance,
probably of vegetable origin"
Haynes and Faure are both Of the
opinion that no diamond was ever
formed on or within the surface of
our earth, and that all such gems
are brought to this planet by meteor
ic stones from some faraway world.
Sir David Brewster, the eminent
British philosopher-born 1881, died
in 1S6S-entertained ideas concern
ing the diamonds origin which,
while similar to those of Newton,
were different in some respects. In
his estimation, such gems were once
masses of gum, eXuded from certain
species of extinct trees or plants,
which had subsequently "petrifed"
and assumed the crystalline form
According to Dana, the greatest liv-
ing authority, they may have been
produced by slow decomposition of
vegetable or even animal matter

ID Away. Marked "Uni,nportant
and Uninterestine."


When Napoleon arrived at Ajaccio
and after an absence of eight years
found himself again with his family,
things were as bad as they could
well be- Not one Of the old French
officials remained. The diplomatic
leniency of the first occupation was
giving place to the official stringency
OF firmer administration. Proper
tionately the disaffection of the pa
triot remnant among the people was
slowly developing into widespread
discomfort. Joseph, the hereditary
head of family which had been
thoroughly French in conduct and
was supposed to be so in sentiment,
which at least looked to the king for
further favors, was still a stanch
royalist. Having been repulsed in
his Tuscan ambitions, he could open
no other connection with Italy than
a mercantile one, which would en-
able him to engage in the oil trade.
The modest beginning was about to
be made 1t was high time, for the
only support of his mother and her
children, in the failure of her null
berry plantations, was the income of
the old araldeacon, who was now con-
fined to his room and growing feebler
every day under attacks of govt.
Unfortunately ,Toseph's well meant
efforts again came to naught.
The behavior of the pale, feverish,
masterful young lieutenant was far
from praiseworthy. He filled the
house with his new tangled philoso-
ply and assumed q self important
air. Among the letters which he
wrote was one to the renowned DR..
Tissot of Lausanne, referring to his
correspondents interest in Paoli
and asking advice concerning the
treatment of the canon's govt. The
famous physician never answered,
and the absurd epistle was found
among his papers marked "unim-
portant and uninteresting." The old
ecclesiastic listened to his nephew's
patriotic TRADES and even approved.
Nine. de Bonaparte coldly disap-
proved. She would have preferred
calmer more efficient common sense.
Not that her son was inactive in her
behalf. en- tho contrary, he began q
series of busy representations to the
provincial officials which secured
some good will and even trifing IA
vor to the family. But the results
were not conclusive, for the null
berry money was not paid. AS the
time for return to service drew near
he applied, on the ground of i'll
health, for renewal Of leave to last
five months. 1t was granted, and the
regular round of family cares went
on, but the days and weeks brought
no relief. III health there was, and
perhaps sufficient to justify that

tensified by the checks which want

When thy pathway all seems dark.
Black az midnight. unillumincd
Fen by pleasures faintest spark;
When deep gloom and sad foreboding
Cradles thee within its erms,
And thy soul In filed with broodings
Working III like evil charms;
When thy labor all seems useless,
And existence one great pain,
Joy and hope are fed forever
And to struggle on seems vain,
Do some tender deed of mercy
To soul with sorrow racked, q

In some helpful little act.

And Its heavy gloom will lift,

business at this time and all are prosperous
men. Mr.. Randall was born in Virginia In
1927 and was educated there. He moved to
Missouri when he was thirty years OF age
and has made his home in Independence
ever since, and has been. and still is, one OF
the active business men of the city. de was
married in 1852 to Miss Rebecca Randall
and they have four sons living. Mr.. Ran

Mr.. Randall, above mentioned, was born
in this town. We are pleased to know that
his industry, enterprise and business integ-

autumn of a well-spent life he possesses not
only beautiful home, and comforts and
luxuries in profusion, but that he enjoys the
confidence of the community in which he

Prices and Products.

The Minneapolis Tribune says: in the
Great Northern wheat case before Judge
Kerr, in St. Paul, Mr.. Taller, a prominent
Polk county farmer, testified, among other
things, that in 1882 the price of self bind
ing reaper was S275 now it is Sl25 Now,
in 1882 the average price of wheat was SIS
cents per bushei 1t would thus have taken
324 bushels of wheat to buy a self biuding
reaper. This year, taking the highest and
lowest prices at Chicago, the average price
of wheat is g. cents and it would take only
187 bushels of wheat to buy such a machine.
The difference in favor of the farmer this
year, as compared with 1882, in that trans
action, is l57 bushels of wheat. That is to
say, he can buy a certain indispensable piece
of machinery now for only about half the
number of bushels Of wheat that would have
been demanded for the same article thirteen
years ago The farm price OF wheat in both
instances would have been somewhat less
than the figures given, but the proportion Is
substantially the same"

The Baltimore Sun says; Prices OF staple
products are going higher-without free
coinage. We are still on the gold basis, yet
cotton, oil, beef. corn, leather and iron ore
are advancing. Idle factories are resuming
work wages are improving, the railroads
report larger earnings, bonds and stocks sell
better. aud clearing house returns show
vastly increased transactions. In the month
of May the total of bank clearings was
1904 OO0, 900 greater than in thes month
Of 1S94-a gain Of 247 per cent, or nearly
one-fourth. The improved business of the
Western Union Telegraph Company, which
covers vast area with its ramihcations,
may be taken as an index Of the reviying
prosperity Of the country. All this without
free coinage. Prices OF commodities, 1t Is
seen. rise while silver remains low. There
is. accordingly, no necessary connection be-
tween high prices and silver. Nor does the
gold standard keep prices low. Prices be-
gan to rise, in fact, only after the Presidents
arrangement with the bond syndicate made
it certain that the treasury's gold reserve
could be kept up and there was no longer
danger that Secretary Carlisle would be IN
able TO keep all forms of currency at par
with gold. It is now open to sound money
to argue that it is the governments gold
policy that has restored business confidence
