IMMENSE FREIGHT STEAMERS.
One of 10000 Tons Being Built for
the Cunard Line.

In view =. the many reports which
have within IL few days been cir
culated respecting new leviathan cargo
vessels. for the Cunard line Ihave, says
our Liverpool correspondent, authori-
~ for stating that two of these have
been placed with the Walisend-on-
Tyne builders, Messrs. Swan * Hunter.
One will be the largest steamer ever
built in England. The dimensions OF
this vessel Will be approximately as
follows: $50 feet long Ga feet beam.
and about ~ feet depth of hold. Ii is
intended exclusively forcargo, of which
IL viii carry some $4,000 tons or weight,
or even more, while its measurement
capacity will be at least 10000 tons
The other steamer, the Altohia,
which Messrs. Swan Il Hunter are
building for the Cunard line, rs very
large cargo steamer, and is now ap-
preaching completion IL is twin
screw vessel. and will carry about loo
tons dead weight. and something like
1900 to $4,000 tons measurement.
Having In view the many huge
steamers recently constructed on the
Tyne, and of which IL may be mention
ed that the Liverpool firm OF Elder,
Dempster x Co. have already had over
half a dozen, one is led TO ask where is
this rage for leyiathan vessels going
To end.
These vessels I'm carrying capacity

river Mersey through want of dock as
commodation, whereas now her success
sors can moor alongside safe dock
wharf in Liverpool with as much room
again to spare-suon is the immense
advance made in the size of the pres
ent day steamer and her aceommoda-
tion.
As regards length and beam. the
Great Eastern has never been equaled,
but several vessels already built have
a greater depth OF hold.-London Mail.

PHILIPPINE BLOOD MIXTURES.
EquivocaI Social Position of the Half.
Breeds and Creoles.

Mixed marriages have always been
encouraged by the government of the
Philippines, special advantages being
granted to military men who marry the
daughters Of the country. Three CEN
turies of intermarriage between the Eu-
ropean men and native women. and also
between the latter and the numerous
Chinese immigrants, have consequently
added to the original population large
every degree of admfxture. TheChinese
Mcstizos alone are said TO constitute
one-sixth of the domesticated native
population, and the Spanish Mestizos
together with the creoles, or 'sons of
the country (hijos del Pais). as they
term themselves. form an influential
body, the majority of whom are estab-
Iished as traders i'm Manila and the
provinces. Owing TO their European
descent, more or less distant. these
Spanish half breeds are endowed with
quicker perceptions. greater business
capacity and wider intellectual faculties
than the pure Tagals. Many of them
are well educated, but few display
much natural talent.
A certain number of Mestizos, both
Spanish and Chinese. have amassed
large fortunes az middlemen between
the native growers and the European
merchants, Although in the Philippines
no distinct line of demarcation is drawn
between races and classes. the social
position of these half breeds and creoles
is somewhat equivocal. though vastly
superior to that of the Eurasians of
British India. AS a class they are con-
tinually struggling to obtain the posi-
tion and consideration accorded to the
penInsular Spaniards. who refuse TO
give them their daughters i'm marriage,
while their dusky-hued connections
form perpetual reminder of their ma
tive origin. Nainly endeavoring TO dis
own knship with the latter. and assert
an equality with the Castilas. they bear
a grudge against these for possessing
so Enthusiastically European birthright.
The moral result OF this Is that they
are. generally speaking. morose In dis
position, captious I'm temper. evasive
and vacillating. dissatisfied with their
lot fond of litigation and political i'm
trigue and inclined to foster grievances
against the eovernmcnt.-Ninetecnth

A Hind Readers Success in Tracing
the Generals Plan of Campaign.

One OF the most strange statements,
however, I'm Mr.. Nandam's article is his
account of the astounding innocence
displayed by Gen. Boulanger in 1889.
when Stuart Cumberland. the thought
reader conceived the idea of trying his
powers on "le brav' general" Let Mr..
Vandam tell the story in his own words
Mr.. Cumberland does not SPEAK
French, and I acted as his interpreter;
l had done the same on several previ-
Gus occasions. The gathering was a
private one. at the house of the Comte
de Dillon, at Neuilly. After various alb
solutcly successful experiments, MIR.
Cumberland proposed to read the gen.
erals Thoughts In connection with a
possible next war with Germany: to be
perfectly correct he offered TO guide the
generals hand, holding pencil, along
the line OF invasion decided upon by
the French generalissimoT The offer was
accepted: they both sat down ut n
table with a large map spread out be-
fore them, Mr.. Cumberland blindfolded,
and with Boulanger's fingers ciasping
the said pencil between his own. The
pencil travelled very slowly from Paris
to the frontier. but i'm a few minutes.
after crossing the French borders, 1t
went quicker. until IL finally stopped.
This is the point you would make Tor.
said Mr.. Cumberland. That's right.
answered Boulanger, Il would make for
Stuttgart Now, l am not libel!ing the
dead In saying that Boulanger was IN
capable OF celebrating plan of cam
paign, and, least of all, plan OF cam
paign evincing some strategical origin
ality. / there and then came to the
conclusion that he was strutting IN
other peoples feathers, and that he had
given away. from sheer vanity, de-
sign that might have succeeded in vir-
tue OF that originality. Boulanger knew
that 1 was journalist: he had seen me
at work before: l had arranged the
whole affair, i'm accordance with Mr..
Cumberland's wishes, and certainly not
in any private capacity. i was there
fore not bound to secrecy. / am also
certain that no such secrecy was ex-
pected from either of us; for when my
account appeared the next day but one
in the 'Gaulois,' not the faintest OBJ
lection was raised by Boulanger or his
friends. think they felt rather pleas
ed at their .coqueluche being advertis-
ed In this apparently spontaneous man
ner as presumably past master OF
strategy. And thus, without the aid OF
any spy, Germany found herself I'm the
possession of a piece OF information
which no attache could have procured,
and which she might pocket for future
reference. For Germany had taken
Boulanger's measure long before that
and knew as well as I did that this
plan OF campaign, supposed to be his.
was probably registered at the French

SOME FACTS ABOUT DIArlONDS.

South Africa IL the worlds greatest

is the best market In tho universe foe

from South African diamond fields ex-
ceed G3,Ooc,0oo per annun. and the
worlds total output Is about Gl,0oo0oc.
or this total, the United states buys

While tariir changes have affected
somewhat the diamond trade In tho
United States, anx have recently pro-
NOTED the business of diamond cutting
and setting there. they have been WITH
out serious effect upon the American
market, which for diamonds is tx best
in the world.
In the United States one Is impressed
with the extraordinary popularity and
almost lavish use Of diemonds. Not
only are there NOR diamonds there
than In any other part OF the world,
but they are I'm more general use.
The most valuable individual da-
monds OF the worlds supply are sell

mond weighs $50 carats. The value OF
the famous kohinoor, which weighs
l03 carats, isf100.00o. but the value OF
diamonds is not wholly regulated by
weight. color being an important ele-
ment.
A Cape diamond of 2sS carats sold

The South African diamond field
covers 1900 square miles and one
field--the Kimberly. covering nine
acres-has produced more than Geo

although the products of diamond
mines have been for many years in ter

ness OF diamond -cutting has centered
in and about the Netherlands, and par

recorded by the paper were made dur
ing an extended trip through the Flor

of great interest TO the botanist, falls
naturally into two general zones, the

enumerated the characteristic plants
occurring in each Of these zones. with
comments on their economic uses
among the dwcllers upon the KEYS In
