between the diamonds found in the several
mines, so that an expert can generally
Identify the locality from which a stone
mas come. Large specimens are not I'M
common. The biggest found at Kimber-
ley, IN shape a double pyramid, measured
rather under two inches from point to point
and weighed nearly four ounces Troy.
What is the real nature of this rock, and
how the diamond has ben produced, are
points not easily determined. Biologists
have not yet settled the former point, or
whether the diamond grew where it is
now found. The rock as we have said,
is full of fragments, many of them be-
ing minerals, such as Divine, garnet,
mica, an augite, etc, together with ser
pentinous rocks and shale. The matrix
seems TO be mainly a mixture of serpen-
tine and carbonate of lime. The late Prof
Carvill Lewis believed the rock to be one
OF igneous origin, a sort of serpentine like
that found in some parts of England He
supposed that the included fragments had
been broken Off by and embedded in the
molten mass S it forced it's way upward
The majority, however, consider the
rock to be a peculiar kind of volcanic
breccia. produced by a series of explo-
sions of gas and steam, and afterward
modified by the passage of hot water-in
other words, that the pipes are the
threats of volcanoes which only discharge
broken rock, steam and water. Again,
many biologists think that the diamond
was produced where it IS now found. 9th
ers believe it like the garnet, augite etc,
to have been formed deeper down in the
earth and brought up during the explo-
sions with the other fragments Prof.
Lewis held that it was formed by the ac-
ton of the molten magnetism rock on the
carbonaceouS shales Diamond undoubt-
eddy is only one form of pure carbon, of
which the homely but useful carbonate
is another, and the no less homely, nor
less useful, but soft, graphite or black
Lead is a third. The abundance of oil
vine and other ferro-ma gnesian minerals
may be significant, for diamonds have
also been found in meteorites composed
mainly of Divine and iron. Here though
the carbon cannot have come from a
shale, the association is suggestive. The
making of the diamond is a comparatively
recent triumph achieved by M Moissan;
this, though it has not revealed the nat
ural process, to some extent points in the
same direction-viz., the cooperation of
heat pressure, and a base like iron or
magnesia. By using the temperature of
the electric arc he fused together carbon
and iron, and cooled the mass so as to
produce great pressure on the Interior
The carbon crystalhzed out in tiny dia-
monds instead of graphite. According to
Prof. Lewis, the diamond was formed
where II now lies. Others, who think that
his idea of its genesis may be correct, ara
Of opinion, as stated above, that the man

A correspondent Of Country Gentle
man offers these suggestions to begin
ners in shredding fodder: |. Cut the
corn as early as practicable and set it
up to stand we'll and tie the shocks
well 2. Let the stalks get dry enough
so that nc juice will appear when it
runs through tie rolls s. Provide two
or three platform wagons, about 2 by
16 or IS feet aud as low as possible,
with ends feet high, on which to haul
the corn to the machine. Do not at
tempt to haul on common, narrow. high
hay riggings. When the corn is dry
and before fall rains set in, get at it
and rush. rush. until all is husked and
shredded The cost will exceed the cost
Of husking by hand slightly.

"Don't you worry about me,'' re-
torted the veteran "That boy will be
all the greater for winning with the
handicap. Let me tell you about his
craftsmanship. One day last winter he
went out with me to hunt rabbits, and
the luck was poor. We had been out
about four hours, and all of a sudden a
great big rabbit like calf jumped up
right at his feet-the boys feet, mean
--and the boy kicked him one in the
ribs and knocked him out in a minute.
Well, we were three or four miles from
home, and we thought we might as
well take up our game and tote it in
and come out again when there was
something more in sight. We logged
along, the boy carrying the rabbit in
his game bag, till somehow it kind of
came to and was about to get away,
when noticed it.
Here, said I, thinking of some
thing, it won't ever do to take that
home and tell the folks you kicked it to
death. It's got to be shot, and we
might as well do it now as any other
time.

comes the rabbit, and the way he skin

Oh, I say, pop, he said, did you
see my craftsmanship? That string to
the rabbits hind leg wasn't thicker
than darninA needle, and blamed if

boy had just gone to work and missed

string and let the cottontail get away,

let it go at that. Now, what have you
