DIAMOND DIGGINGs.
Description of the Country Where
Gems Abound.

The dry diggings" of the Kimberley
district, in South Africa, afford the unique
locality in which the diamond has thus
far been found in its original home, and
all our knowledge of the genesis of the
mineral has been derived from study of
this locality. The mines are located in
pans" in which is found the ''blue
ground" now recognized as the disinte-
grated matrix of the diamond. These
pans are known to be the pipes" or
m cks. of former volcanoes, now deeply
dissected by the forces of the atmosphere

at least to their stumps. These remnants
of the pipes" through which the lava

percentage of carbon. anu this is believed
TO be the material out of which the dia-
monds have been formed. What app ar
to be modified fragments of the black
shaie inclosed within the pipes afford
evidence that portions of the shale have
been broken from the parent beds by the
force of the ascending current of lava-a

altered by the high temperature ana the

the mass must have been held. The most
important feature OF tnis a4,era.4o1i -..,s

the shale into diamond.

the experiments of Moissan who obtained
artificial diamond by dissolving carbon in
molten iron and immersing the mass in
cold water until q firm surface crust had
formed. The 'chilled" mass was then re-
moved, to allow its still molten core to
solidify slowly. This it does with the de-
velopment of enormous pressure because
the natural expansion of iron on passing
into the solid condition is resisted by the
strong shell of chilled" metal. The iso-
lation of the diamond was then accom-
plisbed by dissolving the iron in acid -

CONVENTION CITY NOT PICKED.

Chicago, Nov 20.-The democratic
nationa! executive committee, with Ma
tional Chairman Jones in the chair,
spent most of the day in this city dis
cussing matters pertaining to organiza-
tion, ways and means, and the admin
istrative affairs of the organization.
The committee will meet again tomor-
row.
Nothing was said about meeting of
the national committee, but it is the
opinion of most of the executive com
mittee that the full committee will be
called TO meet in Washington, Feb. %,
and that the national democratic con-
vention will be held /the latter part of
May or the first part of June. The
committeeman were unanimous in re-
fusing to discuss what took place at the
meeting.
After the meeting adjourned, how
ever some of the committeeman con-
tinued the discussion of the probable
situation next year. They disclosed the
fact that a considerable part of the
committees time had been devoted to
discussing the probable effect of high
prices on the campaign Of 1900. 1t is
proposed by members Of the committee
to employ large staff of men to gath
er information which can be used in an
antitrust campaign.
Some of the committee believe that
they win be able to show that the pres
ent high prices are the result of trusts
and combinations, and that working
men have been given but a small pro-
portion of the increase in selling values
All the committeeman said free coinage
was in the platform to stay, but none
of them said it would be the dominant
issue

DOES NOT FAVOR ROE.
Horace B. Long Thinks the ex-Sen-
ator is Not Republican.

Horace B. Long, a ward republican,
called at The Spy office last night to
correct a statement that has gone forth
to the effect that he is interested in the
movement against Mayor Dodge in the
mayoralty contest Mr.. Long said it
has been given out that he attended
the meeting at Roe headquarters Sat
urday night but this is not true, as he
was in Providence at the time men
toned. He states, further, that he is
not interested in the candidacy of Mr..
Roe, as he does not consider him a re-
publican in the strictest sense of the
word.
Mr.. Long says that when A. A. Co
burn was running for the legislature
against Eugene NJ Moriarty, in ward
g. Mr.. Roe gave evidence of his lack
of republicanism. On the night in
question, he asked that the returns
from ward be posted at republican
headquarters, when Mr.. Roe remarked
that they did not care for the returns
from ward 8, as Moriarty was the man
wanted down there.
Furthermore, Mr.. Long asserts that
he is a Dodge man, and that when the
ballots are counted tonight, ward 8 will
have elected full set of delegates
pledged to support Mayor Dodge in the
municipal convention.

ROE ENDORSED.
Wheelmen Remember His Work in the
Interest of Good Roads.

Members of the executive committee
of the Associated Cycle clubs of Wor-
cester, met last night and voted unani-
mously to endorse the candidacy Of
Alfred S. Roe for mayor and to earn
easily urge all unattached cyclists to
support him.
This statement was drawn up and
sent out for publication: THE wheel
men say that Mr.. Roe's record in the
Legislature entities him to their sup
port, and they cite as a particular in
stance his fight for Worcester county's
share in the appropriations for state
roads in 1897. At that time it was
charged that Worcester county was re-
ceiving more than its share of the
money to be expended for state high
ways Mr. Roe appeared before the
governor and council and, although ac-
cused of being a bulldozer, he won his
case and Worcester county received
what was justly due. With the vivid
recollection of the inefficiency of Off
Gals upon the occasion of their lantern
parade last June, wheelmen feel that a
change certainly would not be for the
worse. W. L. Allen, secretary"

promise. Now, 1 say again, never
told Miss Crosby that 1 would marry
her.
Miss Crosby says she will sue Miss
Arthur and Mr. Cheney for $4,000 dam
ages on account of not being allowed to
enter the theatre
Il never had any idea of creating a
disturbance at the performance" she
says, Now that I have been put out
Of the theatre, I will play my cards
where they will WIN"
Have you any personal feeling
against Miss Arthur" she was asked.
No"
Against her husband?'
With flashing eyes and twitching
hands, Miss Crosby replied:
He did not treat me right. He mar
ried Miss Arthur when he should have
married me-"
Then it's a case of jealousy?"
Where there's jealousy there's 10.

PHONOCRAPH TO WORK A TYPEWRITER

The invention of a phonotype writer
by DR.. Frank A. Traver of Racine,
Wis, is causing no end of comment
throughout the country, and the doe
tors mail is becoming so large that he
no longer is able to attend to all his
correspondence.
So far the doctor is very reticent
about his discovery. He has construct
ed crude model but now is engaged
in getting out a new model for the
patent office.
DR. Traver refuses to divulge just
how his machine works, because he
says he is not yet protected by patents.

THE PARSONS LIMIT.

He'd been preaching and exhorting
For a score of years or so,
In a portion Of a vineyard
Where the harvesting was slow;
Where the temporal inducement
For his ceaseless diligence
Was promise of four hundred
For his yearly recompense.
Unrelenting was the ardor
He devoted to the cause,
And though slowly came the dollars,
Still he labored without pause.
Till one day they came and told him.
AS he kicked against the pricks.
That they'd raise their offered stipend
From four hundred up to six.
Then the good man sank exhausted,
AS he feebly made reply:
Don't, | pray you, men and brethren,
Thus my patience overtry;
For to CLEAN the four you've promised
Hath SO warped my vital store
That 'twould kill me If you taxed me
To collect two hundred more"

connected with the typewriter by
means of electricity, the machine can
be set in motion and made to write on
paper what has been dictated into the
