Janus is represented as having two

this is the principal diamond output of
the world, the production is strictly
limited to the capacity of absorption
of diamonds in the European and
American markets. The yield is re-
stricted to just so many diamonds as
may be sold at about present prices.
The company practically has an alb
soiute monopoly, and is quite as much
master of the diamond market as the
Standard Oil company is of the price
of oil. This powerful corporation is
the work very largely of Cecil Rhodes
and Alfred Belt. who. with Barney
Barnato and T. S. p. Stow, constitute
the board of life governors. They are
remunerated for their services by a
portion of the profits, after 80 per cent
per annum has been paid in dividends.
4 Constant Watch on the Diamond
Miners.
1.-The mines are worked almost en-
tirely by native laborers-the Kaffirs,
Zulus, HOttentOts and the rest. These
are paid good wages. about $125 per
month, and are hired for a term of
three months. During this period they
are confined in compounds, located on
the edge of the mines The compounds
consist of rows of buildings Of CORFU
gated iron, forming a hollow square,
surrounded by high board fence
and covering several acres of ground.
Within this corral are stores, and q
hospital and boarding-houses and
other conveniences. Wood and water
are furnished the natives free but
they are allowed no alcoholic liquors.
During their term of service, the ma
tiveS are not allowed to have any
communication with the outside world
and are under a system of close per-
sonal surveillance in order to prevent
the theft of diamonds. When they
come up from the mine shaft. they are
carefully searched, and many ingeni-
Gus methods are adopted to reduce the
loss from this source to a minimum

however, the theft of diamonds still
continues, and in spite of every precau-
ton, the I. D. B., that is to say, the
illicit diamond buyer still exists. 1t
is estimated that from 10 to 20 per
cent of the. diamonds fOnud are stolen
every year In order to prevent this.
a very stringent law was passed, pro-
vidinS that all rough diamonds should
be registered with the detective bu-
reau of the government, as soon as
they were found, and that every man
who sold a diamond must give with
it certificate of registry.

of work by the consolidation of the
Kimberly mine in one vast corporation,
and the subsequent restriction of pro-
duction. This latter, by the way, has
had a curious effect upon the town of
Kimberly itself. AS late as four years
ago, Kimberly had a population of
$4,000 or 10000 people. It was laid out
for a great city, and enjoyed for a
time a big boom. Fine brick blocks
and residences were built, hotels and
theatres and waterworks, and every
thing pertaining to a modern city.
Now good third of these places are
empty, and Kimberly is as dead as
New England town that is dependent
upon single mill. All the supplies
and machinery for the mines are now
bought, OF course, by a single COM
pany, so that more than two-thirds of
the business of the town is gone
There is nothing there to sustain a
town, except the mine, and with the
opening up of the gold fields, much of
the population moved on north to Jo-
hannesburg.

the Transvaal had been known for
years, yet the Beers disliked the in

June 1, 1921, by Frederick William I,
king of Prussia and father of Fred
erick the Great. The reigning family
was decended from Frederick of Ho-
henzollern, a German count in $50, and
Frederick William the Elector of Bran
denberg, 1640-SS, whose son the king
of Prussia was the founder of the regi-
ment which was first called the Schulz
enberg Dragons. Later it was called
the Bayreuth Dragons, but upon the
death of the late count of Bayreuth
in 1908 it was given it's present title.
Empress Louise the First Colonel.
In 1906 the famous Empress Louise
took upon herself the title of colonel
of this regiment, and since then all
the succeeding wives of the German
Emperors have done the same. Queen
Louise inspected her regiment regu-
larry and took great interest in it's well

interest in the welfare of the queen.
The Queens Guard.
From the ranks of the Pommer-
anians the Queens Guard, which is
always near her, is chosen. This guard
is commanded by an officer of the regi-
ment, and he is held responsible for the
safety of the royal lady. The guard
has quarters near the Imperial palace,
and is on an equal footing with the
Garde du Corus, which looks out for
the safety of the Emperor.
In all the great wars that Germany
has had in the last century and half,
the Pommeranians have taken a prom
inent part. There is nothing feminine
about the fighting abilities of the regi-
ment, Notwithstanding that its colonel
is a woman. 1t was regarded as the
best regiment of all the German forces
in the Franco-Prussian war, and the
old Emperor William, in the heat of
battle, often called out, where are

her mother as the finest soldier in the

Firss Worked in Small Claims.
AT first the attempt was made to
work the mines separately. Each man
had a little claim about thirty-one
feet square, and no one was allowed
to have over two. The mines seemed
to be located in an extinct crater of
volcano. There are about four of
these craters in all, and not many
diamonds of value are TO be found
outside of them. No one has yet been
able to say precisely how the dia-
nonds were formed or how they came
there. They were found imbedded in
kind of cold Eava or blue Shale, and
extend to UNKNOWN depths.
So great was the excitement that

COOPERATION.

An institution such as no other coun-
try, ancient or modern. has ever seen
is the cooperative wholesale society of
Great Britain. 1t is composed of some
1000 cooperative stores throughout the
kingdom Its business this year will
exceed $50 10000 0000 or double what it
was ten years ago. It is the corner
stone of cooperative distribution
which starting from small beginnings
at Rochdale fifty years ago, has reach
ed such colossal proportions in Eng
land. Similar cooperative stores IN
America have in times past too often
proved failures. Many cf our Ameri-
can co-operators want to walk before
they can creep. although the Arlington
cooperative association at Lawrence
Mass, the Johnson county coop. in
Kansas, and similar cooperative en-
terprises on the Pacific coast are doing
cash business of over 81, coo q day,

their members. The time is surely

has just returned, after a sojourn of
nearly two years, devoted especially to

way than that of gold mining.
