ORIGIN OF THE DIAMOND.
Is Explained by tue Recent Discovery
 in Kimberly.

In Kimberly.
 The origin of diamonds, which for so long has been debated question, appears to be explained by a recent discovery near Kimberly. In both the Indian and the Brazilian diamond fields the gem occurs like a pebble in certain grayelly strata but has not been traced back to any rock that gives any indication of it's genesis.
 After the discovery of diamonds in the river sand on some South African riv- CTS, a peculiar material of a brownish-
 buff color, which turned to dark bluish tint, was found. It became harder as the miners dug down. The diamonds lay in this material, together with several other minerals, such ss garnets, iron ores, augite, olivine, etc. Excavations-beg unsystematically were eventually carried on on such
 scale that near Kimberly they have
 reached depth of more than 1,400 feet. Here the rock is about as hard
 as ordinary limestone. The blue
 ground is found only in limited areas The rocks around are of dark shales,
 banded with hard sandstone, in which sheets or dykes or basalt or some ma- terial which was once in a molten con-
 dition are occasionally found. The
 blue ground fills a sort of shaft of colossal size in these other rocks, and
 is itself cut up by similar dikes. The
 opinion of geologists differs as to
 whether the gems were produced where they now lie or have been formed of some older rock, which has been shat
 tered by volcanic explosions. It is thought that the mystery has been at last cleared up. About two years ago the manager of a diamond mine near
 Kimberly picked up a specimen in
 which smaller diamonds were appar-
 entity embedded in a garnet. This led to an investigation of various bowl
 ders, one of which was broken open
 and was found to contain diamonds.
 The rock is of the description known
 to mineralogists as "eclogite." It is l apparently composed almost exclusive
 ly of red garnet rock and rather peculiar light green augite. The rock is coarsely crystalline, and in all prob
 ability was once like garnet in mott
 en condition, the diamond being one of it's original constituents. Experts
 now tend to the belief that the blue
 ground" in which diamonds were found is not their true birthplace. The powders are often water marked, and may have rested for ages in an an- eient gravel at the very bottom of sedi-
 mentary rocks of the district In course of time volcanic explosions shattered the rocky floor in which the diamonds were embedded, of which the
 powders were only samples, and dis persed it, together with the overlying materials. It is believed that this is the true explanation of the formation of the diamond-bearing "blue ground" Boston Herald.

SPECULATE IN HISTORIC SPOTS
What the Birthplace of Famous Men
 Are Worth as a Business.


 Last year no fewer than 36,000 peo- pie passed the turnstiles which guard the entrance to the little room in which Burns first saw ths light. In 1896, the centenary year of Burns death, the number reached 3S, 1000, and as pence is demanded from each vis- itor very simple calculation will show what large sum of money is annually obtained by thss means. The cottage is very humble, one-storied little erection, with matched roof, and the poets father, when he first went to live there, would have opened his eyes pretty widely had anyone been able to tell him what a sum was one day to be received for it. The place was bought from him (after the poets death) by corporation of shoemakers, who afterward sold it to the present trustees for $30.000 Another famous birthplace which attracts a large num- Der of people is that of Thomas Car lyle at Ecclefeehan, which is twenty or thirty miles north of Carlisle There is no fixed scale of charges for visiting this cottage, but as 1,205 people climbed the stairs last year and each probably left something with the care taker it will be easily seen that here, too, is nice little property. There are other places, more or less well known, scattered about in different parts of England and Wales, which the tourist often visits. Shakespeare is still veritable little gold mine to Stratford-on-Avon People from all parts of the world make pilgrimages to the little Warwickshire town in order to see the famous poets birth place. The charge for admission to the house is 6 pence, but as an interest ing museum is usually visited at the same time. for which an extra 6 pence is demanded. few persons leave the building without leaving 1 shilling be- hand them. Then there is Ann Hatha- ways cottage to be also seen. This is mile away from stratford, at the pretty little village of Shottery, and it is where the poets wife was wooed and won. The writer, during a recent visit to it, was informed that on an average 100 people day all the year round came to see the cottage, and as each visitor pays pence s3,5O0 or $4.000 a year must be made out of 1t.

DISSEMINATING IN CALIFORNIA
Process of Getting the Fruit in Shape
 for Shipment.

The gang moves in bunch, clip ping off the translucent clusters of museatels, arranging them upon the trays to shrink and shrivel under the rays of the sun into the concentrated delicacy we know. Behind them the lines of trays lie, a basking array of shimmering fruit, and some one inter- that the tray shall be honestly filled, for the workers are paid by the tray. After two weeks exposure in the dry heat the n ed trays are ready to be turned so that the grape may be cured evenly. This is accomplished by two men, one on either side, placing an empty tray over the full one, dexter ously reversing it, then. carrying the upper one with them, repeating the process on down the row. 1t is at this stage in the curing that the grape is most delectable. The amber is chang ing through ruddy stages to amethyst. and the sun-warmed balls are drops of honey-double distilled, so sweet they make you long with a great thirst for the red water tank shimmering in the sunlight fc~ty acres away; but you must eat and eat, and go on eating even while your palate is cloying with the sweetness. h another week the dried grapes are ready for the sweat boxes. These wide, open boxes con tain from 150 to 160 pounds, and as the raisins become sufficiently cured they are sorted from the others and placed therein, the large, perfect clusters and the inferior, broken pieces in separate boxes. They are usually carried to westinghouse, closed structure, in which they soften and moisten evenly. the drying having made the stems ex- ceedingly brittle; or simply stacked in one corner of the packing house to await the grading and packing.-Land of Sunshine

TESTING A NEW SHELL.
The Isham Proiectlle Astonishes n
 Number Of Experts.


 The first considerable quantity of high explosive to be fired from an or dinary gun against armor was sent against a 12-ineh Harveyized plate at the Sandy Hook proving grounds re- gently. The projectile was shell in- vented by Willard s. Isham, carrying 1291a pounds of explosive gelatine and weighing, loaded, little more than 1000 pounds. It was fired from an or dinary 12-ineh sea-coast defense gun, with a reduced charge, so that the velocity of the projectile at the plate was about the same as if it had been fired with full service charge of pow der at distance of two miles. The plate was backed with square oak bsle.-.s and 20 feet of sand The beams were so arranged as to represent more strength than the ordinary framing be- hind the armor of a battleship. To make the test conform yet more to the condition of firing against an armored battlesHip, the plate was set at an angle of 45 degrees to the line of fire. There is no form of armor- piercing shell made that will perforate Harvey ized armor plate set at that angle, aud it was not expected that the Isham she'll would penetrate it. In fact, there was considerable diversity of opinion as to just what it would do, and a good many persons were interested in the results of yesterdays test There was still doubt as to what had happened when the testing party started for the scene of the explosion from the firing point. The thick, dark smoke from the explosion of the shell showed that tine full energy of it's contents had not been developed, owing to an imperfect detonation. If perfectly detonated, a perfectly white smoke is made. In spite of the imperfect detol. Il the plate of armor was dented in about two inches and was blown through it's oak backing and through a corner of the big sand pile, r feet from where it had been set up.-New York Sun.

It has 304 chartered branches in this country and abroad, and the total church membership is placed at 70,000 The regular church attendance is upward of 300,0O0 In 1897 the in- crease in number of churches was S4, and in 1898, 75. This church is grow. ing more rapidly than any church in the world. It's percentage of gain is very large.

The Worlds Coal Supply.

Of the 650,00o,000 tons of coal which constitutes the entire worlds supply, one-third is taken from the coal mines of the United States. The British Isles produce 21S,000,000 tons. Germany 124000 ,000, and the other European na- tions make up, in few million tons each the rest. Spain contributes 20,- 0000OO to the sum total which amount is not sufficient for even home con sumption. China, though rich in nat ural deposits, mines but little of her coal because of her use of primitive methods. It is prophesied that the in troduction of British mechanical appli- ances in Chinese fields will send up her coal supply at least 25 per cent.
