New York, Aug. 2-The small amount

realizing became lighter below 70, and
the room shorts covered, causing a
slight rally. The friends OF Union Pa

discrepancy in the prices OF that stock

Words People Speak.

Few people realize how limited are
their vocabularies, despite the many
thousand words in the English Ian
guage. It is said that person of edu-
cation generally gets along very CON-
fortably with vocabulary of less than
1000 different words. On the other
hand, uneducated people manage to
express their ideas all their lives with
the use of but a few hundred words,
repeating one or two of these, however,
a great many times. A recent expert
ment proves how apt our minds are
to run in grooves. twenty-five men
and twenty-five women, students in a
psychology class, we're hidden to write
down at full speed one hundred words,
all chosen ait random. They did So
with the curious result that out of
total of 5000 words there were only
1896 words which occurred but once;
5000 of the remainder being repeti-
lions of 758 words. OF the 1896 writ
ten only once, TAG were set down by the
men, against $40 by the women. OF
the 1853 articles, of dress enumerated,
224 were found in the women's papers,
while of the 237 articles of food, they
claimed 1853.

Precious Stones Fade.

The powerful chemical effects of the
sun are felt even by precious stones.
The ruby, sapphire and emerald suffer
less than other colored stones in this
respect, but it has been shown by
experiment that a ruby lying in a shop
window for two years became much
lighter in tint than it's mate kept in
dark place during that period. Gar
nets and topazes are more easily af-
fected. Pearls are said to show de-
terioration with age, but If they are not
worn constantly they will recuperate
wonderfully during brief vacations
spent in quiet and darkness. The only
species of unluck which the practical
person believes the opal will bring to
it's owner is that of loss if the stone
is exposed carelessly to heat. It is
liable to crack, being composed princi-
pally OF silieic acid. with a small pro-
portion Of water.

their married state was observed, with
all the old ceremonial, at the small

The ceremony was held inside mar

two couples for trial by the jury of
six maidens and six bachelors. The
jury returned verdict in favor Of the
claimants, who were accordingly
awarded, amid cheers, a fitch Of bacon.

ORIGIN OF THE DIAMOND.
L. Explained by the Recent Discovery

Is Explained by the Recent Discovery
- In Kimberly. II t1s# s.
. The origin of diamonds, which for
so long has been a debated question,
appears to be explained by recent
discovery near Kimberly. In both the
Indian and the Brazilian diamond
fields the gem occurs like a pebble in
certain gravelly STRAIT 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 riv-s
ers, peculiar material of a brownish-
buff color, which turned to dark
blush tint, was found. It became
harder as the miners dug down. The
: diamonds lay in this material, together
with several other minerals, such as
garnets. iron ores, augite, divine, ETC..
observation-disclosures unsystematically
were eventually carried on ON such
scale that near Kimberly they have
reached a depth of more than 1,40O
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-
dltlon 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 bikes. The
opinion of biologists differs as 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 It 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-
emily embedded in garnet. This led
to an investigation of various bowl
ders, one Of which 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
1y of red garnet rock and a rather
peculiar light green auglte. The rock
is coarsely crystalline, and in all prob
ability was once like garnet in a mott
en- condition, the diamond being one
of its original constituents. Experts
now tend to the belief that the "blue
ground" in which diamonds we're
found is not their true birthplace. The
powders are often water-marked, and
may have rested for ages in an an
cient gravel at the very bottom of sedi-
mentary rocks of the district. In
course of time volcanic explosions
shattered the rocky floor in which the
diamonds were embedded, Of which the
powders were only samples, and dis
persed it, together with the everything
materials. 1t is believed that this is
the true explanation of the formation

OF place we were shipwrecked
on, and what chances of escape
were open to us. A brief recon
'noitre convinced me that this would be
the work of days. It was necessary
that should make myself acquainted
with the nature and resources Of the
island, and selected two of the stead
lest OF the crew to accompany me in
my explorations, and told the main
body of men that we should be absent
PROBABLY a week. Before doing this
l had satisfied myself that those I left
behind would have no difficulty in OBJ
tanning food. The rocks and shore
abounded in she'll fish, and Tom Wren
had already succeeded in sharing doz
en- or so birds, spurred on thereto, as
rightly enough devined, by desire to
obtain something palatable and tasty
TOR little Pearl. He having prepared
the birds, was roasting them before
the fire, while was engaged giving
the men instructions as to their con-
duct and proceedings. Having been
appointed commander I was resolved,
for all our sakes, to enforce some kind
OF discipline. I hesitated as to whom
I should delegate the command while
l was away, and my choice fell on the
Oldest man in the company, James
BoWden. I placed in his hands the

Right you are, skipper" he replied,
l took the paper from him. and
looked from one to another; and in a
comically sheepish way every man in
the company strove to evade my eve,
James Bowden gave consolatory
chuckle.
"They're all in the same boat. skip
per-" said he. you're the only schol-
ar among u.s.
Pearl, naturally weak and low after
her long peril in the sea, was lying
on a bed of leaves and dry moss. A
happy thought occurred to me.
"You can read. Pearl?" I asked.
She nodded, yes"
'Then I appoint you commander in
my absence, and you, Bowden, her
lieutenant. Men, I place our little girl
in your charge, and you in hers"
A flush Of pleasure came into Pearls
cheek, and I saw by the mems faces
that 1 had done the right thing. The
precise kind of moral restraint re-
quired by the men was now supplied
Through their affections, and I was
satisfied that all would go well dur.

To Pension Its Old Employees.

The Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany, through its board of directors,
is formulating q plan for pensioning
it's old men and retiring them to that
rest which they have earned by long
and faithful service. The pension plan
is now in the hands of a committee,
and will be perfected and submitted to
the board of directors at the October
meeting for adoption. It will involve
the expenditure of 100000 or more
each year by the company, and it's
Immediate effect will be to retire a
hundred or more employees who have
passed the allotted three score and
ten years of life, or who, by reason of
sickness or accident, have become dis
abled or incapacitated for active duty.
