lubber will often stare all day at the
man who is repairing a steeple-top, and
think 1t pretty risky work.
Ship riggers often are called upon to
climb f1ag-poles to paint them, and In
this case stirrups are worn to aid in
climbing. Frequently. too. ship riggers
get calls from country towns to put the

made by riggers. This kind of work is

MT. WASHINGTON
in DANGER.
Greed of Lumbermen Threat
ems to Strip 1t of
Its Beauty.

Lebanon, N. H., July 20.-No state in
the Union owes so much Of direct profit
to it's mountains and forests as New
Hampshire, yet there has never been a
forestry law to prevent the denuding
of it's grand hills by lumbermen and
charcoal burners. The need of such
law is more apparent than ever now
that Mt. Washington itself is threaten
ed. A lumber company has bought
practically the entire mountain for
100000, and will promptly begin strip
ping it of its trees unless the process
can somehow be arrested. The immi-
nent danger of seeing the highest peak
in New England "snatched bald head
ed' by irreverent pigmies with saws
and axes is fast rousing a sentiment in
favor of forestry laws to restrict the
destruction of the forests.
The Appalachian Mountain Club,
which has headquarters in Boston, be-.
gan a campaign against forest de-
struction three years ago, by securing
an amendment of it's charter permit
ting it to hold forest lands, and by pro-
viding Board to manage the lands
that might be acquired. OF this Board
Harvey w. Shepard is Chairman, and
the other members are Prof. Charles e.
Fay of Tufts College, Prof. J. Raynor
Edwards of Harvard, and Messrs.
Augustus e. Scott and Parker B. Field.
The club first bought strip of forest
land on both sides of Salamacis brook
up Mt. Adams in the town of Ran
dolph. Later Miss Anne Whitney, the
sculptor, decided to the club small
tract in the town of Shelburne.
IF we can obtain the money, which
comes to us only through subscription
and private gifts as the small funds
of the Club cannot be used except to
little extent for this purpose" says
Chairman Shepard, 1--WE shall do some
thing towards the preservation of the
forests upon Mt. Washington itself.
Opinion in the state of New Hampshire
is divided, and so far the men who are
interested solely in the getting of i'm
mediate returns from the forests have
prevailed"
But it is to be hoped that they won't
prevail much longer, now that the for
ests on Mt. Washington itself are
threatened.

Tangier, Morocco, is as much Eu-
ropean town as Shanghai in China.
Like Shanghai, or that part of it which
is nearest the port, Tangier is governed
by committee of all the foreign con-
suls and ministers, of which the British
minister is chairman, acting in concert
with Mohammed ell Torres, the Shereef-
ian Minister of Foreign Affairs.
Like the open sea, Tangier has a three
mile limit. Beyond that limit the
Moorish rule extends without let or
hindrance; and if an American or Eu-
ropean ventures beyond he must apply
to his minister for an escort. The min
lister, after satisfying himself that the
person making the request is entitled
to his services, makes representations
to the government, and the escort Is
furnished.
In spite of these precautions there Is
sometimes trouble. Consul-General
Burke has had difficulty in enforcing
claims for damages for wrongs suffered
by protected natives; and the San
Francisco and Raleigh of the United
States Navy were sent to enforce COM
pliance. OF course they did it, by their

"INDIAN TWINS"
ARE REUNITED.
Probably the Most Wonderful
Pair of Diamonds in
the World.
ONE HAD LONG BEEN LOST.
Reappeared After Many WanderingS.
Believed to Have Been Purchased
by Mrs. William Astor.

Diamond dealers the world over are
speculatng as to the identity of mys-
terious parsonage of unlimited means
who has just purchased of a Partisan
diamond dealer two of the most famous
gems in existence. The gems are pair
of diamonds so nearly alike in appear
ance that they have become known to
collectors and dealers as the Indian
Twins" The wealthy individual who
has just become possessed of them is
believed to be Mrs. William Astor.
A jeweler would describe the Twins"
as a pair of old Indian diamonds, cut in
cushion shape. weighing eight and a
half carats each, and of remarkable
pale blue color. Their tint is far deeper
than steel blue" and much lighter than
the blue of the celebrated Hope" dia-
mond. The Twins are so full of fire that
many a pure white diamond is pale by
contrast. So absolutely perfect are the
gems that the slightest flaw cannot be
discovered by the aid Of the most pow
erful magnifying glass. Their combined
weight is seventeen carats, which is di-
vided exactly between the two. They
are alike beautifully proportioned, and
the peculiar shade of blue Is precisely
the same in each. In all respects the
quality of the Twins" is identical.
Their hue is of kind usually found
only in very small stones. So perfect
is their correspondence that experts do
not doubt that they were originally one
stone, which was divided for some rea-
son, probably because the original shape
was such that, while susceptible of di-
vision, it could not be cut to advantage
as a single stone without great loss in
weight. Anyhow, the result was a mag
nficent pair of perfectly matched stones
that it would be utterly impossible to
duplicate.

The Keys of Florida.

It's curious thing, but the residents
of Florida know very little about the
little islets, lying to the south Of that
peninsula, which go under the name
of Keys. That is chiefly because, al
though they belong to the United
States, the original settlers were almost
all natives of the Bahamas, and not peo-
pie from the mainland. Outside of
Key West, it is said, it would be hard to
find fifty persons in the entire range of
islands who are not of Bahaman stock,
and of course they have the manners
and speech of their forefathers.
They know all the tricks of living un-
der the conditions of primeval man, Just
as their ancestors knew and practised
them. Give one of them a field of
Guinea corn (for American corn will not
grow in this latitude) and without any
civilized implements he will make you a
hoecake for dinner in a few minutes,
grinding the corn between stones, sift-
ing it in homemade basket trays, and
baking it in the ashes. He will roast
coffee until it is black, pound it between
stones until it is flour, and make you a
good drink. They do not often do these
things now except when they are of
fishing or at work in the fields, because
they have ordinary cooking implements
in their houses; but they know how to
do without them.
Some of the smaller islands are own
ed entire by single individual or fam
ily but on the larger keys the holdings
are generally small. For example, In
dian Key belongs to lady whose home
is on Key West; but 1t is a small island,
though it has large history. Long
Key belongs to company that raises
cocoanuts. On most of the keys the
holdings range from 200 to 500 acres.
That may not seem to be a small hold
ing, but it is not much of a strip for a
man who settles on desert island. and
who might as well take the whole is
land.
AS matter of fact, such holding is
not large from an agricultural point of
view, for only a small portion of any
one of the smaller keys is fit for culti-
walton. This fertile part is known as a
hammock" 1t is generally in the CEN
ter of the island surrounded by a
swamp which, in turn, is encircled by a
bluff" though raised only about five
or six feet higher than the level of the
sea; around this runs the beach. The
hammock of an island of 500 acres may
not be more than forty or fifty acres in
extent, but this small area, always of
exceedingly rich soil, may be made very
profitable. Ali the work on these ham
mocks is, however, done by hand, for
there are no horses, mules, or oxen on
the keys,-cats, dogs and pigs being the
only four footed inhabitants. Pineap-
pies and vegetables are raised easily
and in great profusion, without much
cultivation and with no artificial fer
tilization. If there were nearby mar
ket the profits might be much larger
than they are.

Twins" places them in the possession Of
Warren Hastings, at the time he was
Governor General of India. 1t is sup
posed that Hastings saw them in the
possession Of some native Prince, and
gave the latter a hint that present or
that nature would not be unacceptable
From Warren Hastings the dia-
monds found their way, in the reckless
and irresponsible fashion common with
diamonds, into the possession of
Russian nobleman, who was afterward
exiled; and with him went the Indian
Twins. AS expatriated noblemen have
to eat and drink like ordinary mortals,
the Russian found himself under the
painful necessity of parting with his
diamonds.
To be sold was humiliating treat
ment enough for gems of the high caste
of the Indian Twins" but, in addition
to this, when they parted from the
Russian nobleman. they parted from
each other, and for long time only one
Of the gems was known to diamond
dealers. This lone twin, after many
wanderings, fell at last into the possess
sion of the Duke of Brunswick, lover
Of fine gems, with the means to crafty
his glittering taste. The Dukes agents
searched the world for the lost twin,
but were unable to find any trace of it,
although the price offered for it's re-
covery was a tremendous one. Finally
the Duke was gathered to his fathers,
and his fine collection Of diamonds was
sold, the Indian Twin coming to Amer
lea. The final chapter Of the story is
told by Mr.. e. August Nereisheimer,
of New York City, Vice President of the
Theosophical Society of America.
II had the diamond in my possess
sion," said Mr.. Nereisheimer, land my
agents were looking for it's missing rel
ative, although we had little hope of
finding it. This was about twenty years
ago. A newspaper of that time recorded
the story of the strange finding of the
long lost gem. One of the agents, who
had been for so long engaged in the
search for the Twin that it had be-
come mechanical habit for him to
study the jewelry on men and women
whom he met, was surprised almost out
of his wits one day, when seated in a
Chicago saloon, to see western man
enter in whose shirt bosom blazed the
Identical Twin the whereabouts of
which had been for so long sought.
"He lost no time in negotiating for
and securing the diamond, which was
forwarded to me. The united Twins
were valued at s125,0OO, and taken to
Paris, where I hear they have been
purchased by an American whose iden-
tity has been kept secret. There is
little doubt, however, from what I
have heard from my correspondents
over there, that Mrs. William Astor will
dazzle the eyes of American society
people with the Twins next season."
