THE ORIGIN OF DIAMONDS.
1t Seems to Have Been Explained by
Recent Discovery.

st. Louis Globe-Democrat
The origin of diamonds which for so long
has been a debated question. appears to be
explained by recent discovery near Kim
berley. In both the indian and the Brazil
ian diamond fields the gem occurs like
pebble in certain gravelly strata but has
not been traced back to any rock that gives
an indication of its genesis. After the dis
covery of diamonds in the river sand on
teral Of brownishrbufr Color. Which WIGHT turned med
TO dark blush tint, was found. 1t be-
came harder as the miners dug down. The
diamonds lay in this material. together with
several other minerals. such as garnets

ley they have reached a depth of more than
1,4O0 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 Of
basalt or some material which was once
In a molten condition are casionally
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 biologists differs as to whether the gems
were produced where they nov lie or have
been formed of some volcanic explosions.
1t is thought that the mystery has been
the manager Of diamond mine near Kim
berley picked up specimen in which small
er diamonds were apparently embedded in
garnet. This led 10 an investigation of
various powders. one of which was broken
open and was found to contain diamonds.
The rock is of the description known to
mineralogists as 'eclogite' 1t is apparent
ly composed almost exclusively of red gar
net rock and a rather peculiar light-green
augite. The rock is coarsely crystalline, and
in all probability was once like garnet in
a molten condition, the diamond being one
of its 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 ancient gravel at the very bottom of
sedimentary rocks of the district In course
of time volcanic explosion shattered the
rocky floor in which the diamonds were en-
bedded, or which the powders were only
samples, and dispersed it, together with the
everything materials. 1t is believed that this

Who was her master? and what her name?'
And they smile upon me pityingly

Oh, mine vessel of strength and truth:

With only a tremble Of snowy wings.
She hoated swan-like down the bay.

Ladies' Home Journal.

To the inspiration of Miss Helen w. Tink-
ham, of Boston, the missions for the dis
tribution of flowers among the poor the
sick and the aged in our cities owe their
origin. Thirty years ago the first flower
mission was formed. with Miss Tinkham at
its head, and she has ever since been identi-
fed with the work. In the spring of 1869
Miss Tinkham spent few days in the coun-
try, rejoicing in the flowers that burst into
fragrant bloom under the magical breath
of April. Upon returning to Boston she OBJ
served with what wistful eyes the children
playing about the railroad station viewed
the flowers she brought with her. and how
eagerly they accepted those she offered
them. This incident led her to urge the
church-going people to cooperate In COL
lecting and distributing flowers. A meet
ing was held and the work soon started.
Boston is, therefore. the birthplace of the
flower missions, a form of charity which
has extended TO every section of this coun-
try. and crossed the Atlantic.
