The values of enormous diamonds
are largely fictitious. They are ac.
tually uncommercial. The Koh-i-noor
weighed nearly 800 carats when it was
taken out of the mines of Golconda,
and the sum of $40, 900, 600 has been
mentioned as a iustifable price for it,
on the scale employed in the trade.
Hortensio Borghese reduced it in cut
ting to 279 carats, and it had to be
again cut to 1921. The Pitt diamond
was sold to the King of France in 1920
for S625, 900. The Victoria diamond
weighs 302 carats.-New York Press.

The complete destruction of all dis
ease causing microbes Is, OF course,
the aim of modern methods of sewage
treatment and disposal, and in a
method recently devised calorifc
sterilization is added to the ordinary
processes. The treatment consists
essentially in allowing the sewage to
flow into tanks which are subdivided
in such a manner that the liquid
passes through restricted passage,
where it comes in contact with q cur
rent of air under pressure. In it's
passage through the various cells the
solid matter is deposited in number
Of pockets, from which it is subse-
quently taken to be dried and burned.
The distinctive feature Of the process
occurs in the next operation, whore
the liquid, after having been mixed
with a}lali, passes through a series of
heat exchanges, in which it cools and
is itself heated by liquid previously
acted upon. From the heat ex-
changers the liquid next passes to the
sterilizers, where it is heated and
propelled through coils by means of
steam jets to another vessel. The last
stage in the treatment consists in its
passage under a sludge-drying plat
form to a settling-tank, and its exit
through filters in pure and whole
some condition.

A most interesting old time-piece is
the clock standing in William the
Fourth's bedroom at Hampton Court,
and which Messrs. Gaydon & Sons, of
Kingston, were recently commissioned
to repair.
The clock was made by Dan Quare
about the year 1860, and is one of the
most remarkable pieces of automatic
mechanism in existence. 1t is what
is commonly known as grandfather
clock" standing in a very tall oak
case, with heavy ormolu mounts.
There are several particulars in which
this clock is almost, if not quite
unique. In the first place it goes for
twelve months at a time without
winding. But more remarkable than
this is its ingenious mechanism. 1t
is what is known as a calendar"
clock, and besides recording the days
of the month and the months of the
year, it also automatically shows the
time OF sunrise and sunset.
The last time the clock was over
hauled was early in the present
century. For the last forty years,
however, the clock had not been
wound up. It speaks we'll for the
splendid workmanship of our an
cestors that, with slight exceptions,
Messrs. Gaydon found the works in as
perfect condition as when the clock
was originally made, and there is no
reason why it should not last for an
other 200 years. s.--London Mail.

Street Cars of NInniln.

All the street cars in the city OF
Manila were made in America. The
open cars are thirteen feet six inches
long over dashers and have seating
capacity of twenty typassengers. These
cars are drawn by Philippine horses,
which are about the size OF New
foundland dog, and it was, therefore,
necessary to make them extremely
light and at the same time of the re-
quired strength. The street railway
company is known as the Transvias de
Ftlipinas.-Street Railway Journal.

Beware of the circular skirt, unless
you have perfect figure and your
goods are of heavy satin brocade or
other very firm material. Even then
beware of it in most dressmakers'
hands. If you are at all stout, even
in small degree so, your rounded
circular skirt, minus perpendicular
line, will make you look stouter. If
you are thin, it is the worst choice
you can make. Its uncompromising
shape, with not q fold, line or break
in it, will outline every defect. Then
the inveterate propensity of circular
skirt is to dip at each side most dis
tresslngly after the skirt has been
worn about three times, and with an
added propensity to lift just in front
and just at the back, in most ugly
and undesirable manner. The cir
cular cape we all remember, cut on
the same lines, was guilty of just such
untoward conduct, looking thereby
decidedly ungraceful and giving q
dropping appearance to its wearer
that was depressing even to the be-
holder.

Philadelphia was noted for its clean
liness as far back as 1850, the Ledger
OF that city claims, when the daily per
capita consumption of water was thir-
ty-si1 gallons. Conditions as to clean
illness are no better now, when the
average daily per capita use is over
200 gallons, and the conclusion is that
the excess consumption over that IN
1860 is wasted. With the acknowl
edged vile condition of the water fur
nished in Philadelphia not much bet
ter use could be made of it than to
permit it to run into the sewers, but
that is an expensive disposition of it,
as the cost of providing the total sup
ply is assessed uniformly upon the
houses or tenements, according to the
eize OF the supply pipe. AS the amount
used by each individual bears no i'm g.
mediate relation to the price he pays,
no concern is left regarding leaking
fixtures, and faucets are left convent
emily turned on day and night. In
many places fans, sewing-machines,
and other small machinery are run by
water-motors, the cost of which is a
charge on the general water assess
ment. Appeals to remedy the injus-
tice to those who do not waste the
water have been made in vain to the
Councils, and way is now pointed
out to consumers whereby they can
protect themselves. That is by hav-
ing meters put in, which can be done
under existing ordinances. Then they
would pay four cents per thousand
gallons, or about one-third what they

The brutal murder of the Empress

Tho Disadvantage of Prussian Women.

Prussian Ministers of State evil
IDENTIFY still retain the old-fashioned
idea that to educate girls is to unfit
them for the duties of domestic life.
A short time since the good people of
Breslau decided to petition their
Minister of Education for permission
to found a high school for girls in
which an education might be given on
reasonable terms, and of character
similar to that available for the more
fortunate English and American girl
who has to look forward to earning
her livelihood. The Minister Of
Education replied that the home was
the proper place for woman, and re-
fused the permission. The result is
that this official attitude forces the
women of Germany to continue to be
handicapped in the struggle for ex-
istence which many of them are
obliged to face.
