CONTEMPORARY OPINION.
ouTPUT on DIAMOND FIELps

OUTPUT OF DIAMOND FIELDS.
Il will strike most readers with some
surprise to learn how enormous has
been the total output of the diamond
fields. 1t is only a little over twenty
six years since the first claims were
pegged at Kimberley January u,
lS7D, and in that time there have been
produced In South Africa, and mostly
in this limited area diamonds worth
G75000 000 and the aggregate is in
creasing every year at the rate of more
than three millions sterling. Immense
as is this value, they would take up but
little space, and would weigh only
about seventeen tons. If they were all
poured into the furnace of the Norman
or the Scot and delagrated in pure Oxy-
gen they would not suffice to drive
either Of those fine steamers of the
Union Line for a single day. Yet those
seventy millions OF value have had a
mOmentOus effect on the fortunes of Af-
rica. When these fields were discovered
the Cape railways stopped more than
FIVE hundred miles south of Kimberley;
before this year is out they will reach
to BuluwayO, more than six hundred
miles further north. Ii is doubtful
whether without Kimberley the i'm
pOrtance Of Bechuanaland and Rhodes
Ia would ever have dawned either on
CapeTown or Downing street. These Ia
diant crystals of carbon have been
very crucial factor in the making of
South Africa. It is perhaps as aston
ishing to know that the profits of the
single company, the De Beers Consol-
dated, on their two principal mines are
equal TO the entire revenue of all the
gold mines on the Rand. Last year the
dividends of the forty-two leading ven
lures at johannesburg, of which only
about half paid anything, amounted i'm
all to G / ,522,709 while the profit from
the De Beers and Kimberley mines was
e1,712,S54 and the dividend and bonus
declared came to G1,579, $50, the rate
being 40 per cent. per annum. The capi-
tai is about One-fourth of that sunk in
the paying gold reefs. and not one
eighth of the total invested on the
Rand. II is true that the gold raised
was worth more than twice as much as
the diamonds, but the Rand had to pay
nearly five millions of taxation. Here
there is no iniquitous railway monop-
oily; explosives cost Sos. per case. in
stead of Sos, and there is rational self
government. In a word, transfer Boer
rule TO Kimberley and you may say
goodbye dividends.-LOndon Tele-

VIEWS IN NORTHERN NORWAY.

He who goes up the rivers between
the mountains by any Of the tiny steam
ers that run from point TO point, chang
ing 20 others of lighter draft, where the
stream becomes more shallow, gains al
still more picturesque view of this part
of the Switzerland of Sweden. The jour

main line from Stockholm divides, toI
Trondhjeim in Norway, is one of much
attractiyeness and all through Nor
ways northern portion the scenery isl
striking and impressive.
1t takes six days journey by sail
such as l am taking to make the ac-
Quaintance of the Swedish railway, but

well-lighted ones; the detestable shut
ting-up system Is In vogue, the cars,
especially those of the third-class. most
patronized by the people, being indiffer-
ent affairs with no accommodations for
toilet. The second-class apartment cars,
when not crowded, are much more
agreeable, but they are sadly lacking in
much that makes the American car con-
venient and travelable
The conductor is not the uncrOwned
king he is in America. You have met
this king in your own land. and you
have more than once felt like doing
something to punish him for his some
times intolerable toploftinoss. his amaz-
ing assumption of superiority. his occa-
sionally urbane condescension. Here
the conductor is a gentlemanly person,
| polite. helpful, considerate. The station
master is his superior and the train
may not leave the station until the sta
tionmaster says il may. The conductor,
when the moment for departure comes,
steps up to the side of the station
house, takes hold of the tongue of a lit
/ tie bell fastened to a metal arm, gives
the tongue some sharp claps on the in
side of the bells throat, invariably end
ing with two decisive taps. Then his
duty is DONE and he stands around
with mis- hands In the pockets of his
linen pantaloons, or impatiently strides
up and down. awaiting the moment for
the train to start. At last the station
agent unfurls a red flag. gives it a
wave, blows a sharp toot on his shrill
little whistle. the engineer answers
with one sharp toot, never more, and
you are off. The conductor looks very
neat and natty in his white linen suit
when he starts on his trip-neater look
Y ing, indeed, than when he gets to the
end of his division.
