DIAMONDS OF VARIOUS HuEs.
Most of Them Are colorless. Hut some
 Are Red and Black.

Although thousands of men and women ill Chicago wear diamonds, at least on occasions if not constantly, few know much about the precious gems they value so highly. While the largest number of diamonds are white. B 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 then sufpass any other gem of that color. Specimens of canary eoiered diamonds are quite common Ii the gem has a rose-colored tint 1t Is very valuable, while red tints, sur- t2ss1ng the ruby. and considered the most beautiful Of all precious gems, are exceedingly rare. A few varieties are on record. One weighing ten carats was bought by Emperor Paul of Rus- sla for Sl00. .000. A cinnamon, or brown. stone Is undesirab ble, as 1t Is seldom pure. A black diamond Is nearly as scarce as a red one Blue diamonds lank next to red ones in variety and beauty. Those of 8. dark blue color, resembling sapphires, are handsome gems, differing only from the sapphires Ill quality and the beautiful play of solors 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-colored species. yet grass-green or fine emerald color IS scarce. When it does occur 1t 1, 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 Is considered one of the five paragons of the world among gems.-ChIcago Chronicle

LITTLE KNOWN INDUSTRY.
Oyster and Clam Shells Do Not Go ss
 Waste.

Oyster and Clam Shells Do Not Go e
 Waste.
 A singular and but little known in- dustry is carried on in this city in the sale of oyster and clam shells, says the New York Tribune. The d lers in this commodity pursue their calling in so unostentatious way that It attracts no attention. From the eat ing houses where oysters and clans are consumed the year round the shells are collected by persons who either carry on that business for then lives or are in the employ of the wholesale dealers. It seems incredible how large an area of ground can be covered many feet deep with the conglomeration of shell and foreign matter that Is un- ayoidably collected with 1t, and appar- ently amalgamates without destroying the characteristics of the harder ma terial. Seeing number of carts loaded with shells moving toward tha same point would induce the supposi- ton that more reclaimed land vas being filled in with material that would exclude the possibility of such land ever being used as a market garden; or it might be taken for granted that another dump heap was allowed in some of the still unoccupied upper west side lots. But if curiosity should lead to investigation 1t would be found that the carts were bound for big yard at Fifty-fourth street and the North river. where they deposited their loads, Every autumn the yard is so filled up that a considerable hill of shells ia formed. This being excavated from the bottom as loads are again carried away leaves the mass with the appear ance of having been geoiogically formed, and offers a curious sight to the uninitiated. How the shells are used is one of the most astonishing things to those ignorant of the value ef the material for anything except filling in streets and making beach drives, such as that one famous in ths history of Savannah. But this shell suffers a curious change. l. is sold to the gas works and Is used as a purifier.

Hen and Terrier.

A. ". Giehm of Sioux City. Iowa, re. gently purchased a sitting of eggs and placed them under an old hen in his hen-house. In the same hen-house lives a terrier. A few days ago the animal gave birth to eight white pup- pies, and they were placed in a box in the corner. To the astonishment of the owner, his hen left her thirteen eggs and placed herself in full charge of the puppies. She has been cuddling the tiny pups under her wings and will allow no one to take them away with out a great fight The mother of the pups is on friendly relations with the hen, it would seem, for she lies on the floor and seems to have no objection to the foster mother. In the meantime the expensive sitting of eggs spoiled
 What False Report Did.
 J. N. Sinclair, high sheriff of Done gal. Ireland, committed suicide by shooting himself Aug. 28. on receipt of the announcement that his daughter. IS years old, had been drowned in another part of the county. The lat ter story now turns out to be false, and has caused an immense sensation in the county, where the family is most prominent. The author of the false hood, which caused the father to com- init suicide. is unknown.
 Seasoning Wood With Electricity.
 In France method cf seasoning wood through the agency of electricity Is credited with much success. It is called the Nodon-Bretonneau process. The timber is nearly immersed in tank of water containing ten per cent of borax, five of resin. and little car bonate of soda, and rests on lead plate connected with the positive pole of a dynamo. Another similar plate. lying on the exposed surface of the timber, is connected with the negative pole. Thus current of electricity can be passed through the wood, froU which all the sap appears to be re- moved, while the borax and resin takes it's place in the pores. In a few hours the timber is taken out and dried, and the seasoning is said to be complete.

A Singular CaAo

A singular case has just been decided in Germany after occupying nearly a year in trial. When Prince Bismarck died, two Hamburg photographers bribed watcher in the room to allow them to take a fash-light picture of the dead chancellor. They tried to sell the photograph. but the Bismarck family interfered. The photograph itself furnished the evidence which convicted the persons concerned. The men who took the picture did not notice a clock on the wall, which was reproduced in the photograph, and re- corded the exact moment when the view was taken. It was known who was on watch at that moment, and the faisaless watcher gave the names of s..- graphers. The pictures have kee oppressed and the photographers ssa e-eed to iail.

A 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 overstayed his leave for nine days. but was hope lessiy incompetent as we'll. His excel lency thereupon ordered the man to be reinstated, and wrote across the secre- tary's explanation that he considered the hopelessly incompetent man was the one who had took twenty-three years to find out the others incom- petence.

The Syndicate Shows in Trouble


Everybody in Ronners Ferry
remembers the Great Syndicate
Shows that appeared here on June
26. 1t seems that they have been
having a high old time over in
Minnesota. and Gov. Lind has had
to call out three Companies of
MALTA in order to round them up
and quell the reign of terror.
At Grand Rlpids some of the
circus people were run in and
lodged in the county jail in the
court house Their pals appeared
in force, about so strong, smashed
III the court house windows. broke
into the Jail and liberated the
prisoners. At Cass Lake, the
sheriff and deputy sheriff were set
upon by the cirrus mob and nearly
beaten to death. At other places
they carried on with a high hand,
and through the state where they
could not bride the officers to carry
on their gambling schemes, they
resorted to great indignities when
interfered with.
When apprised of their intented
arrest by the MALTA they jumped
their dates snd attempted to escape
on special train headed for the
" isconsin line, but "a wash out at
CIoquet enabled the MALTA to
overtake the circus and II of the
showmen were placed under arrest
and taken back to Cass Lake for
trial. Manager Richards and doc"
Baker, the two most wanted, escap-
ed. There was great excitement at
Cass Lake when the prisoners ar
rived Monday.
Doc" Baker is said to be a typi-
cal Texas cowboy, accustomed to
do about as he pleases, and the
cause of most of the trouble. He
will be remembered here as Manag-
er Richards main push, and a
clever, smooth-faced. good-looking
young fellow.
