DIAMONDS OF VARIOUS nuEs.
Most of Them Arc Colorless, But soms
 Are Red and Black.

Although thousands of men and women in Chicago wear diamonds, at least on occasions if not constantly, few know much about the precious gems they yalae so highly. While the largest humber of diamonds are white. clear, colorless, transparent stone is rarer than might be supposed. There are also red. blue, green, yellow, brown, black and pink ones. Heat often changes the color and after awhile the acquired hue becomes per- manent Yellow diamonds perhaps af- ford the greatest variety Of shades. Some of them surpass any other gem of that color. Specimens of canary eolefed diamonds are quite common If the gem has a rose-colored tint it ls very valuable, while red tints, sur Passing the ruby, and considered the most beautiful of all precious gems, are exceedingly rare. A few varieties are on record. One weighing ten carata was bought by Emperor Paul of Rus sla fot sI00, 900. A cinnamon. or brown. stone IS undesirable, as 1t is seldom pure. A black diamond is nearly as scarce as red one. Blue diamonds rank next to red ones in variety and beauty. Those of a. dark blue color. resembling sapphires. are handsome gems, differing only from the sapphires in quality and the beautiful play of coiofs peculiar to the diamond The only real blue stones are found in the mines of India. Besides the Bismarck and Hope diamonds. there are only two others in the world that are prop erly called blue diamonds. The green varieties are not as rare as the blue, black, red and rose-coIored species. yet a grass-green or fine emerald color Is scarce. When 1t does occur 1t is more brilliant than the finest emerald. There are several varieties Of green. tinted diamonds at the museum Of nat ural history in Paris. but the best known specimen is at Dresden and fs considered one of the five paragons Of tne world among gems.-Chicago Chronicle.

ORIGIN OF THE DIAMOND.
Is Explained hs the Recent Discovery
 in Kimberly.


 The origin of diamonds, which for so long has been a debated question, appears to be explained by a recent discovery near Kimberly. In both the Indian and the Brazilian diamond fields the gem occurs like a pebble in certain grayeliy strata, but has not been traced back to any rock that gives any indication of its genesis. After the discovery of diamonds In the river sand on some South African rive CTS, peculiar material of brownish- buff color, which turned to dark i Efsh tint, was found. It became IS the miners dug down. The :. --os lay in this material, together vtta several other minerals, such as ga!Eets, iron ores. augite, oliYine. etc, E1eayations-begun unsystematical1y were eventually carried on on such scale that near Kimberly they have reached q depth of more than l, 400 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 or basalt or some ma terial which was once in molten con- dition are occasionally 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 geologists differs IS to whether the gems were produced where they now lie or have been formed of some older rock, which has been shat tered by volcanic explosions. 1t Is thought that the mystery has been at last cleared up. About two years ago the manager of diamond mine near Kimberly picked up a specimen in which smaller diamonds were appar- ently embedded in garnet. This led to an investigation of various bowl ders. one of wtieh was broken open and was found to contain diamonds. The rock is of the description known to mineralogists as "eclogite. It is apparently composed almost exclusive ly of red garnet rock and a rather peculiar light green augite. The rock Is eearsely= crystalline, and in all pfob ability was once like garnet in q molt- en 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 an- ctent gravel at the very bottom of sedI- mentary rocks of the district. In course of time volcanic explosions shattered the rocky floor in wh.sh the diamonds were embedded of which the powders were only samples. and dis persed it. togethzy with the oyerlying materials. It is believed that this is the true explanation of the formation of the diamond-baaring @blae ground" Boston Herald.

Department Store Law in Missouri

Department store Law Ill AAssoufh
 The anti-department store law of Missouri went into effect recently. It imposes a license fee of from $500 to $500 a year on all classes of goods designated by it and sold in any store giving employment to fifteen or more persons. The license commissioner, each city having one, decides whether the fee shall be minimum, maximum or intermed ate. There are depart ment stores in Missouri that deal in ninety and more different classes of goods. At a minimum rate, such stores would be compelled to pay from $27.- 900 a year upward in taxes. The small and merchants in single lines of goods will fight for the enforce ment Of the law by employing all legal help possible. The department stores will fight the law, striving to prove that 1t is unconstitutional.

Chinese Tea Transported Through na..l.

The Siberian News. of Tomsk, Is ons of the few newspapers published in 5l- beria. and gives some interesting par tieulars in regard to the transportation of Chinese tea through Russia. The Temsk newspaper says proudly tbat in the first twenty days of last January no less than 19.0o0 sleighs loaded with tea passed through the Siberian city. Every sleigh carries usually five hales of tea. packed in OK skin, each weighs ing from loo to f60 pounds. The men sleep on the sleighs during the trip across Siberia. which lasts nearly ons year. It would be shorter to send ths Chinese tea by sea; but in this case the custom house duties are high, while they are comparatively small on tea imported by the land route. Russian merchants who have long had most of the European tea business In their lands, are greatly disturbed over the great growth in public favor of the Ceylon teas which are distributed from Loudca

good story Is going the rounds Of simla society just now. It seems that an unfortunate clerk in one of the government offices, with twenty=three years service, recently took leave and oyerstayed his leave by nine days. He was called upon for an explanation. and in the end the secretary ordered him to be q lissed. The clerk there. upon appealed to the viceroy, who called for an explanation of the cir cumstances. The secretary showed that the man had not only oyerstayed his leave for nine days. but was hope, lessly incompetent as we'll. His excel leney thereupon ordered the man to be reinstated. and wrote across the secre- tarys explanation that he considered the hopelessly incompetent man was the one who had took twehty-three years to find out Che others ineom- petence.
