in New York. Either she has altered her conception of the part or thought 1t was not worth while to be original in New Haven. This last, however, IS unkind because her acting in the scene of Valentines death was as wonderful as ever and her church scene was also very fine. This latter scene was hor- ribly bungled on account of the mlser- able substitute for an organ. Again her stimulation of madness in the last act was pathetically expressive of cruelty of her fate. The audience was curi- ously cold and unappreciatiVe. There was no thought of the customary en- cores, not even the Jewel Song, De Reszkes singing of Calf of Gold which was superb, nor the serenade to ''Caterina," not one of these was re- demanded, Imagine a performance of Faust" without encores. The only thing which was warmly applauded was the Soldiers Chorus" It goes without saying that De Reszke's voice was marvellous and his 'Mephisto' is always very robust and hearty creat- ure, and possibly more treacherous than sinister

SOME WYOMING WOMEN ON THE
 SUFFRAGE.

SUFFRAGE.
 T made it point when in Colorado recently to talk with several ladies on the question of woman suffrage" said MT T. M. Judson of Philadelphia. T asked them whether the voting privi- lege, which is held by the women of the state on a parity with the men, was of any real benefit to the sex, or had in any way contributed to the correction of abuses of the ballot Had politics been purified to any appreciable extent through the exercise of the franchise by the women of Colorado I asked these questions because wanted to find out the facts and was myself in the atti- tude of a disinterested seeker after the truth.
 T talked with at least a dozen bright and intelligent women-Women of good social standing and of influence in their respective ,circles-and not one of these discussed the matter with the slightest degree of enthusiasm for woman suf- frage. Seven of them were against it emphatically, saying it had done more harm than good and that they would be glad to see the law repealed Four of them said that woman suffrage had un- doubtedly come to stay, but that they had gotten over their early ardor, when they fully believed that the right of woman to cast ballot meant the up- lifting of society, if not the regenera- ton of the world. Only one contended that woman ought to be put on an equality with men in the matter of vot- ing, but her argument was more in de- fense of an abstract right than of the utility of such a policy. She would not positively declare that the local exper- ment had bettered conditions, but she was sure that there would be no repeal of the law, chiefly because the average politician, being timid creature, feared to antagonize the female vote"-Wash- ington Post.

GENESIS OF THE DIAMOND.
An Apparent Explanation which
FINDS strong support In
the Mines.

The dry diggings" of the Kimber-
ley district in South Africa afford the
unique locality in which the diamond
inal home. and all our knowledge of
the genesis of the mineral has been
derived from the study OF this locali-
". The mines are located in pans"
in which Ia found the blue ground"
now recognized as the disintegrated
matriX of the diamond, These pans"
are known To be pipes" or "necks"
of former volcanoes, now deeply dis
sected by the forces OF the atmos-
phere-in fact, worn down II not to
their roots, at least 60 their stumps.
These remnants OF the pipes" through
which the lava reached the surface
are surrounded in part by a black
shalc containing n large percentage OF
carbon, and this Is believed to be the
material out of which the diamonds
have been formed. What appear TO be
modified fragments OF the black shale
inclosed within the pipes" afford ev.
idence that portions OF the shale have
been broken from the parent beds by
the force OF the ascending current OF
lava common enough aceompani-
ment 20 volcanic action-and have been
profoundly altered by the high tenn.
perature and the extreme hydrostatie
pressure under which the mass must
have been held The most important
feature OF this alteration has been the
recryStallizatioa of the carbon of the
Shale into diamond.
This apparent explanation OF the
genesis of the diamond finds strong
support in the experiments OF Mols-
san. who obtained artificial diamonds
by dissoiving carbon In molten iron
and immersing the mass in cold water
until a firm surface crust had formed
The chilled mass was then removed
