ORIGIN OF DIAMONDS.
Some Recent Discoveries Have Added to
Our knowledge.

Some Recent Discoveries Have Added to
Our knowledge.
ST. Louis Globe Democrat
The origin of diamonds, which for
so long has been debated question,
appears to be explained by recent
discovery near Kimberley. In both the
Indian and the Brazilian diamond fields
the gem occurs like pebble in certain
gravelly Strata but has not been traced
back to any rock that gives an indi-
caticn of its genesis. After the dis
coyery of diamonds in the river sand on
some South African rivers, a peculiar
material of brownish buff color, which
turned to dark, blush tint was found.
1t became harder as the miners dug
down. The diamonds lay in this ma
terial, together with several other min
erals, such as garnets, iron ores, augite,
uliyine, etc. Excayations-,beg sys-
tematically eventually carried on
on such scale that near Kimberley they
have II reached depth OF more than
| 1,400 feet. Here the rock is about as
hard us ordinary limestone. The blue
ground is found only in limited areas.
The rocks around are OF dark shRles,
banded with hard sandstone, in which
sheets of dykes of basalt OF some ma.
teria which was once in molten con
dition are occasionally found. The blne
ground fills sort of shaft of colossa
size in these other rocks, and is itseli
cut up by similar dykes. The opinion
| of biologists differs as to whether the
gems were produced where they now liz
or have been formed of some volcanic
explosions. 1t is thought that the
mystery has at last been cleared up.

stituents. Experts now tend to the be
lief that the ''blue ground" in whicl
diamonds were found is not their tru
birthplace. Tho boulders are ofte
water marked, and may have rested 70
ages in an ancient gravel at the yer
bottom of sedimentary rocks of the dis
trict. In the course of time volcani

According to the plan of the architect,
Geheimrath lime, the front facing the
Spree will be 200 yards in length. Inc
Emperor requires, among other things,
two riding grounds, several coach
houses for about 800 carriages, and
stalls for 270 horses. Several workyards
and farmyards are also needed, as well
as dwellings for 50 families, and ~ Nm
married servants and ooachmen. The
chief facade, opposite the schloss, re-
quired reconstruction on a large scale,
and this was rendered very difficult by
the different character OF the rooms
looking onto the Schlossplaza, some OF
which are quite insignificant.
The architect has, however, been
fortunate in his design, having ar
ranged the chief room OF the upper floor

historical and modern sleighs and
coaches) as a state room, and thereby
giving it the appearance from the out
side of museum.

Painful for Mr.. Kruger.

We cannot but feel certain ten
der commiseration for President
Kruger. Little more than three
years ago the German Emperor was
his very good friend, and was tele-
graphing his hearty congratulations
upon the failure of the Jameson
Raid. Now he has finally lost the
"fond gazelle" he tended with such
devotion. 1t was bad enough that
the Emperor should have refused to
receive DR.. Leyds, but it must be

him receiving Mr.. Rhodes. With
this historic interview between the
two empire, builders vanishes the

even sympathy, for the out-worn
methods of Pretoria.-St. James
