SOUTH AFRICAN LAWS.
There Life Ia Valued at Lrss Than
Diamonds.

Kimberley proper Is built around a
hole big enough to hold the entire
white population OF South Africa. This
is the excavation above the Kimberley
mine, made when diamonds were
mined from the surface. Nowadays
shafts are sunk and levels formed,
whence $t blue ground Is blasted out
and hauled to the surface In elevators.
The diamond Is different from other
precious stones, in that 1t is found in
soft clay, while the amethyst, ruby and
emerald are embedded in quartz. This
makes the diamond easy to conceal in
the mouth. nose. and by swallowing.
and every year the De Beers company
gets from the workmen $2.0000 900
worth of stolen goods The inclina-
ton to pilfer these stones Is so intense
that the crime Is severely punished. In
South Africa the first commandment Is
Thou shalt not steal diamonds For
having n diamond found on his person
that Is not registered man will get 20
years imprisonment At Cape Town Is
n great convict station called the
American families and English aris-
tocrats join in lockstep with Lascars
and KafIrs. They have all violated
the first commandment. In Kimberley
1000 negro convlcts sort the diamonds
under the muzzles of Martini rifles.
They are kept in n separate place. The
other black boys live In five-acre in
closure known as the compound The
De Beers company controls the dia
mond market Of the world. or the five
mines-Kimberley De Beers, Du Toits,
Pan Bullfontein, and Premier--the first
two are situated in Kimberley and are
the only ones worked now. The da-
monds produced in other parts OF the
world would not supply the city OF
Philadelphia. The value Of the South
African product thus far has been
5000 600 600. The supply seems mex
haustible. "-Ainslie's Magazine

PAVING OFF IN BANK CHECKS.
ono Troublesome practices L'ssohrd ny
tho War Revenue TAX


THE war tax has its Drawbacks re-
marked the cashier ir n large stock
yards concern, but it Is n blessing 10
n man in my position. | never knew
to what extent the habit Of making
small bank checks had spread until |
saw a contractor pay off his laborcrs
one Saturday night in checks | made
inquiry, and found that 1t was com
mon practice not only with him, nut
many others who hired great bodies
Of men. The latter didn't like IT, or
course, because they were Obliged to
cash the checks at the nearest gin mill,
which meant a loss to them, because
they had u treat. A contractor who
made practice Of issuing small checks
told me frankly that In the old days
when it was necessary TO face each
check with a 2-ccnt internal revenue
stamp, he made as few checks as pos-
siblc. The war tax having included
bank checks the habit Of issuing small
checks has practically been dlscon-
tinucd. That's why | say the tax Is n
blessing In disguise. 1t Is not profit
able to issue checks for small sums.
There IS still another reason why we
now use fewer checks for small
amounts. Expert bank men declare
that the simplest check TO raise is the
one calling for an amount below $40
The percentage OF raised checks is Sc
ON sums below $40. Another reason
| for the opposition to small checks is
| that they bother the bank authorities
| Some banking institutions will cast
out a patrons account should he per,
| sist in making small checks. The
chcapening Of the registry Of letters Is
another reason for the suppression o
email checks"

striking Use of the N-Rays.

A striking use of the X-rays is to be
made in the case OF two sisters joined
together in the same manner as the
celebrated Siamese twins. These girls
were recently discovered in Brazil, and
have reached the age Of ten years. The
examination with the X-rays Is to be
made with view to determining
whether the bond Joining two bodies
can be severed by a surgical operation.
If the bodies are independent, surgical
treatment would be justihable and pos
sibly successful, but If there is an ac-
tual connection between the two or
gaplsms such step is, Of course, out
OF the question.

A New Bullet-Proof Shield.

The firm Of Cammell & Co., the we'll
known steelmakers OF Sheffield, have
made a bullet proof shield which
weighs no more than seven pounds,
and affords complete protection to the
soldier against the service rife at 400
yards range. The shield is attached
20 the rifle by special band. 1t can
be detached as quickly as unfxing q
bayonet. 1t is hoped by the inventors
that by the use OF this shield, trench
ing operations will be largely avoided,
and the often vexatious delays Of pick
and shovel work will be often rendered
unnecessary.
