A BLUE DIAMOND.
English Court Will Not Permit It's
Owner to See 1t.
London Mail.

Londo Mail.
Lord Francis Hope. brother of the present
Duke of New Castle, and husband of the
~well-known actress Miss May Yohe. applied
to Mr.. Justice Byrne in the Court of Chan
Gerry yesterday for permission to sell the
celebrated Hope blue diamond, which is one
of the family heirlooms.
This jewel, which is set az a brooch. amid
q circle Of white diamonds, is acknowledged
20 ee un1qu from is on SIZE Weish dI 44d
known in the world until recently. when
another was found which weighs 80 carats.
1t belonged to the late Mrs. Hope, who by
her will settled 1t as an heirloom, toget .er
with other valuable jewels, and the famous
Hope. collection of pictures. at the family
mansion, Deep Dene, in Sussex.
In the splendid Hope estates in England
and Ireland and the jewels and pictures
Lord Francis Hope has had a life interest;
but through extravaganza he has not been
able to reside at Deep Dene, and he became
a bankrupt four years ago, when his life
interest was sold for e150.00 to meet his
debts and enable him to get his discharge
Last year Lord Francis obtained permis-
sion from the Court of Chancery to sell the
collection of pictures. They produced GIL
900. but when the various claims were set
tied nothing remained of that sum for Lord
Francis.
Now ne seeks permission to dispose of the
renowned blue diamond His counsel, Mr..
Farwell. Q. G. urged as a reason for the
sale now that other blue diamonds
reduce the value of the Hope jewel.
Experts had estimated its value at
various sums between G15,000 and e25,O 900.
Having regard 10 the ~pecuniary position of
the applicant, who was only thirty-three,
and had no children. the sale of this dia-
mond was a prudent course to pursue. Mr..
Lowenstein was prepared to purchase. The
diamond was not of great beauty; 1t was
simply curious. and il was not everybody
who could afford to keep a jewel worth
many thousands of pounds locked up in
PARIS Bank.
Every member of the family appeared by
counse opposing the sale. They have claims
under the settlement In the following order
Of succession. after Lord Francis: His sis
ter, Lady Beatrice Lister Kaye, with re-
mainder TO her son. aged seven then Prin-
cess Doria. who has a son, aged fourteen;
then Lady Florence Pelham-Clinton, who is
a ~spinster, and then the ultimate remainder
TO the Duke of New Castle.
His Lordship, in giving Judgment, dwelt
on the fact that all these were opposed to
the sale, and, further, there was nothing
TO show that If the jewel were sold. Lord
Francis would be enabled TO resume the po-
sition at Deep Dene which the testatrix
designed for him, or would even derive
from the proceeds any disable income for
himself. Therefore he refused to sanction
the sale, the costs of all parties to come
out of the estate.

AMONG THE BEST OF DIVERS.
Women Who Make a Business of Div
ing for the Pearl Oyster.
New York Sur

A Brooklyn man received last week a let
ter from a friend in Seoul, the capital of
Corea, describing a visit the writer had re-
Gently paid 70 the large island Of Quelpaert.
Just south Of Corea and a part Of that
lines OF business is diving for the pearl oys-
ter and that the diving operations are who'll
~ monopolized by women. Here is an ex-
tract from the letter:
II think the most unique sight / ever saw
was the women divers at Quelpaert. Per-
haps you may have heard that only women
divers are engaged In the pearl oyster fish
a lot of them going out TO their work or re-
turning witt the fruits of their quest under
the sea. They are not a very handsome
crowd, but they have fine, supple figures,
and can swim as well as any fish of the
deep. Each wears a very scanty bathing
dress that looks as though 1t might be made
CO gunny sack. Tied to a string around their
waists is a gourd with a stopper in the neck
of 1t TO keep the water out. TIED 10 the
gourd IS a little bag. The third and last
article of the equipment is a sickle. which
is also fastened 10 the waist and rests on
the back till the women get out 10 the fish
ing grounds.
you might think that boats would be
kept 10 carry these women out TO their toll,
but no, they work their passage and IL is a
lesson in the art of swimming TO see them.
They wade out a few yards and then breast
the waves, moving seward with long. quick
strokes, and cutting the water like a racing
shell. They swim out about half a mile.
My favorite amusement was watching as
much as 1 could see of their suoseonep op-
of the gourd and little bag and leave them
floating around on the surface. Then. sickle
in hand. down they would &C, head first.
and i was told that they had TO sink forty
or fifty feet TO the bottom.
About the time that / made up my mind
they would never be seen again alive, up
they would come. sometimes right near

At present comparatively little is known
on this subject, simply because insects. IN

no observer gets any notion of the mechan-

to follow with the eye the movements OF

records the almost inconceivable RAPID beats
of these wings, and, reduced by the ap-
of the flaps they exhibit to the spectator
the manner in which the flying apparatus Is
utilized.
The problem is TO get as accurate a pic
ture of the wins of a moving insect as has
been obtained of the foot or a morse run

wing feathers of birds, according TO Profess

This discovery has brought out the fact.
hitherto unknown, that birds wings are
provided with a special system OF ~tendons;
which give to the animal voluntary control
over its primary feathers.
1t has been suggested that the new style
of mutoscope or kaleidoscope here described
might be employed to great advantage for
certain educational purposes. For example.
a ribbon. whose pictures would be trans
ferable to a screen. could be made to show
in a brief time the transformation of a
caterpillar into a moth or of a tadnole into
a frog. In the same manner the slow per-

People can live in a temperature which
feels from ten TO twenty degrees cooler

Tbs plan Is TO avoid meat entirely for

saucer containing about four heaping tea
spoonfuls Of Grape-Nuts. treated with a lit

OF entire wheat bread, with a meager
amount OF butter. and serve one cup Of
Postum Food Coffee.
If one prefers. the Grape-Nuts can be
turned into the cup of Food Coffee. giving a
delightful combination. BY this selection OF
food the bodily energy is preserved. while
the hot. carbonaceous foods have been left

IN the temperature OF the body, and to this

An Invention That Registers 1000 Vi

The Department of Agriculture has taken
steps toward acquiring the right 10 use a
very move invention, newly patented by
f. Francis Jenkins. of Washington. 1t is
signed especially for a certain kind of pic

hitherto. For example, the contrivance is

where the gourd was floating and sometimes
several rods away. They would put their
oyster or two or three of them in the little
bag, take a few long breaths, and down
they would go again. repeating the process
until the bag was filled. 1t is said they will
stay out for hours rather than return before
they have all the oysters that can be crowd
ed into the bag. Any stranger must admire
them both for their splendid endurance and
Tor their swimming. It's worth more than
all the tank performances you ever saw.
THE sickles are used to cut away the sea-
weed at the bottom so that the divers may
get at the stones and earth to which the
oysters fasten themselves. A pearl is very
rarely found, but when a diver captures the
prize she thinks her fortune is made. The
shell is used as mother of pearl and the oys-
tiers are eaten in large quantities both on
the island and on the mainland.n

NEW YORK. May 15.-Mayor Robert
A. Van Wyck has been served with a
subpoena to appear before the Mazet
committee. He Is expected to be on hand
tomorrow at 1890 o'clock In the supreme
court room Of the criminal court build
ing. The importance of the session that
opens then Is attested by the number of
important Tammany officials who have
been summoned to appear, of whom the
mayor and comptroller are the most note
worthy. 1t has not yet been decided
whether Mayor Van Wyck will be plac-
ed on the stand at the opening of the
proceedings. or whether his examination
will be delayed for q day or two. The
plan of operations has not yet been fully
decided on. MIR. Moss may wait a few
days for some especially favorable OPP
portunity for the mayors examination
He is likely to wait until number Of
witnesses have spoken freely before he
submits the mayor to his examination.
This examination will necessarily be
general: The mayor will he questioned
concerning all his important doings as
head OF the city government, and his
reasons for the removal of certain i'm
portant city officials. such as the police
commissioners who stood in the way of
Chief DeVery's promotion. His relations
with Mr.. Croker will be carefully looked
into, and Mr.. Moss will endeavor to as
certain how great an influence Mr.. Gro
ker has in the government of the city
Though the Mazet committee intends
to proceed against the present admins
tration of the district attorneys office, it
has made no direct move in that direc-
ton yet. No officials of the district at

moned and will not be for few days.
The action in reference to Mr.. Gardeners
office is still in allegiance. Mr.. Mazet
and his assistants not having yet formu-
lated their plans. They propose howev-
err, to go into that branch of the gov
eminent thoroughly, but it is likely the

Gals Will keep them busy Tor some time
to come.
Police Commissioners York, Abel, Sex
ton and Hess were served this afternoon
with subpoenas to appear as witnesses
before the committee. Mr.. York is d.
rected to produce the official minutes Of
the board meetings held on May IA and
on May 81, 1898. He is also directed
to bring with him the official certificates
issued by the mayor, removing Commits
sioners Hamilton and Phillips and the Of
