DIAMOND MINES IN AMERICA.
Arc There Any Underground Gem Bo-
nanxas In This Country:


Americans are buying dukes this year:
they have no money for diamonds. Inn
portations OF those precious stones have
gone away down. In 1894 they dropped to
a lower point than for many years, only
$.sSs.oo0 worth being brought TO this coun-
try. The growth of luxury in the United
states Is fairly measured by the imports of
diamonds. which in 1861 amounted to barely
more than Sl.3Oo.0D. In 1850 they had
reached nearly sll.oOc.oo; in 1899. sls.Ooo.OW:
In 1892. 81. .0Oo. This was high-water
mark. They have fallen of to less than
half that figure since.

diamond mines have ever been discovered

HIS VIEWS ON TEMPERANCE.
Rev. ID. r.. Van Attributes the
Drink Evil to the Rich Glasses.

Rev. d. r. Van Buskirk. of the Third
Christian Church, yesterday advanced some
thoughts on the temperance question that
are not exactly in accordance with the views
of a large majority of the church people Of
the city. He said that while the advocacy
OF temperance was laudable. there could be
intemperance in IL the same a. In other
things. He said he did not want to be led
into intemperance IN his remarks on the
subject. He said he did not believe the evil
of intemperance could be legislated out of
existence in a day or a year; 1t might take
centuries, but he thought the proper thing
to do Is to continue the crusade against 1t.
Some people might not think he is a very
good advocate of temperance. he said, be-
cause hey believed he did not vote the
right way. He attributed the evil OF in
temperance more to the richer classes and
the employers of labor than to those ad-
d.cted to the habit. He thought the cutting
down of wages and the unreasonably small
wages paid In some lines of work caused
men to seek drink as a means of drowning
their trouble: men who would remain sober
IL given an opportunity to make their lives
worth living.

A FOOLISH OSTRICH.
He Tried to Make Meal Big Iron
Chain.

One of the family of twelve ostriches at
tached TO Sells circus. which has been
wintering at River Front park, has gone
a voracious and indiscriminate appetite.
one of the circus attendants brought a
lot of chains and whiiiletrees from the up.
per floor and threw them down in front OF
the ostrich pen. All of the chains We're
attached TO the whifiletrees except one,
which lay loose among the pile. The at
tendant left them lying there for awhile,
and after he had gone away, one ostrich
more curious than the others caught sight
of the shining chain. quick as flash he
darted his long neck through the bars and
seized the chain in his bill, He threw it
into iltoa the inoI3sure and his companions
was going to do with the chain. They

II disappeared down his elastic esophagus.
1t was very evident that the task was no
sy easy one, for before it got half way down
he would not, give it up, and finally it
disappeared altogether. The bird looked
around as Il in triumph. but it's triumph
was short-lived. In a few moments he
was seized with paroxysms OF pain, and
as all ostriches do when sick. he lay down
on his stomach on the floor of the pen and
stretched out his neck as far as 1t would
reach. Mr.. Sells, proprietor Of the circus,
happened to pass through the animal de-
Partment and noticed ,the, position of the
bird, and at once surmised that he was ILL.,
As the usual troubles from which these
birds, suffer are indigestion and similar
tomary remcdy-a large dose of castor oil
This. however, had no effect on the bird
which continued TO show signs of distress.
Nothing that was done gave him any re-
lief, and within half hour after bolting
the chain, he turned over on his back and
gave his last kick.
Another custom that prevails in circus
and menagerle life is To dissect an animal
when he dies, to learn the cause of death
Mr.. Sells performed the autopsy on the
dead bird. and discovered that he died
partly of strangulation and inflammation
OF the stomach. The chain was found
partly In the stomach and partly in the

II was impossible for the bird to force his
