sympathy, from within our domain.
would be even more Impossible than
now, with the additional obligations of
neutrality we would perfOrce assume.
The enforcement OF this enlarged and
onerous code Of neutrality would only
be influential within our own jurisdic.

our own instrumen talities. 1t could Inn.

1t would give the United States no
rights Of Intervention to enforce the
conduct OF strife within the paramount
authority Of Spain according to the in
ternational code Of war.
For these reasons regard the recog-
nitton Of the belligefcncy OF the Cuban

An interesting discovery from a
geological point of view was recently
made, says LIE Genie Civil, by an ex-
plorer in the mountains of Witzies
Hoek, Natal. On the summit of an
extinct volcano, on the edge of lake
that occupies the crater, soundings
revealed layer of sand inclosing
small diamonds. 1t would be inter
esting to know whether these diamonds
were there accidentally, that is as the
result of washing operations carried
on by the natives, or whether this dis
coyery corresponds to an actual mine
of diamonds, for the hills Of Witzies
Hoek are not situated in regions
known to be diamond bearing. On
the last hypothesis, the presence of
precious stones in the crater of vol
cano would doubtless throw some
light on the formation of the gems in
nature.

Culiously enough, the United States
government has its bank note printed
on paper made by private firm, the
pulp being mixture of linen, cotton
and silk, the silk threads coming into
prominence after passing through the
printing machine. There are some
nine kinds of Bank of England notes.
all OF them printed on somewhat SINH
lar paper, but they are now always in
two or three colors in Scotland. French
notes are of paper that has hair in its
pulp, the hairs coming out so strong
when photographed as to render any
attempt at forgery ON that line impos-
sible, While some nations nse colored
inks. the only ink used by the United
States is black, characterized as a
wonderfully hard aud dry prepar alton,
and said to be manufactured in a spe.
cial manner from napthha smoke.

He was man Of some social i'm.
portnnce in his town and well aware
OF the fact. One morning he and his
family were driven up to the railway
station in great haste in two coaches
while an express wagon unloaded sey.
eral trunks. Having purchased tick.
cts for the party. the gentleman bus
tied out upon the platform. and. ap-
preaching the station agent with the
haughtiness Of railroad magnate,
said:
81 suppose you have received orders
from the superintendent of the road
to flag the $50 train for me?"
The station agent looked at him
meekly and replied:
mo, sir; have not received any or
ders whatever"
why, that's strange. The superin-
tendent told me positively that the
train would be stopped here for me-"
The smile that spread over the
agents face was Interpreted by the
gentleman to indicate doubt as to his
veracity, and he became properly IN.
dignant. The agent still insisted that
he had received no orders regarding
the tagging of the train.
well, the order must certainly have
been sent out" and may have miscar-
ried." said the gentleman. Can you
not flag the train, anyhow"
mo sir; that is out Of the question.
| would not flag that train for Chaun-
cey Depew himself, unless had orders
from headquarters to do so. 1t would
cast me my job II | did"
At that moment the train was sighted
in the distance and the gentleman be-
gan to prance around the platform In a
state Of great excitement He pleaded,
begged and entreated the agent TO flag
the train, and finally threatened TO re.
port him to the superintendent, but all
in vain. As the train drew near the
station its speed slackeued and it final.
ly stopped. The waiting family was
finally bundled on board In hurry,
and as the gentleman climbed on the
car steps just as the train started he
looked back at the agent triumphantly
and shouted in voice that was audi.
