Lyddite and Sleepite.

Some exaggerated stories are cir
culating in South Africa in regard
to Boer .inquisitiveness and the as
tonishing power of lyddite, two Of
which are worth reproducing. In
the first instance, a farmer, while
visiting Capetown, made few in
quiries respecting the English
methods of war and munitions. And
it CRIME to pass that he encountered
an Euglishmap, of old acquaintance,
with whom he coaversed in the taal,
sort OF broken English and kitchen
Dutch, respecting the new shells to
be employed for the Kruger crush
ing. "Wat is die lyddite dingus that

piled the other, sits thing full OF
something fred from a cannon, and
when it drops on kopjs, and fluids
nobody there, it jumps on to another
kopje, and so on until it finds
kopje with people, when it bursts
with big noise and kills everybody
dead" "Allemagtig," exclaimed the
B@otian, shut we'll never be able to
fight against that" The second
story comes from Dundee, where

ORIGIN OF THE DIAMOND.
ss Explained by 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 gravelly strata, but has not been traced back to any rock that gives any indication of it's genesis. After the discovery of diamonds in the river sand on some South African riy- CTS, peculiar material of brownish- buff color, which turned to a dark bluish 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, elyine, etc. Excavations-beg unsystematically were eventually carried on on such scale that near Kimberly they have reached a depth of more than 1,400 feet Here the rock is about as hard as ordinary limestone. The blue ground is found only in limited areas. d0 IOChS QullA IC u QSli h o4a1S6s banded wish hard sandstone, in which sheets or 6ykes 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 Us 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 a diamond mine near Kimberly picked up specimen in which smaller diamonds were appar- ently embedded in a garnet. This led to an investigation of various bowl Gers, one of wLich 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 rather peculiar light green aHgite. The rock is coarsely crystalline, and in all prob ability was once like garnet in mott. 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-marized. 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, togeths. with the overlying materials. It is believed that this is the true explanation of the formation of the diamond-bearing "blue ground" !" Boston Herald.

SOON FOR THOSE pEMEnrED.
Newly Invented strait-Jacket That
 VIII Save Much Suffering.

From Washington Times: J. M. Hooper Of Baltimore applied for patent papers on an invention that promises 10 be of incaleulahle assistance to hos pitfalls and public and private asylums where insane, delirious or unruly patients are handled. The invention Is known as d rest sheet and strait Jacket and is combination of both. holding the patient securely and eom- fortably without even the aid of an at tendant. All the hospitals have felt the need of just such an invention as has been perfected by Mir. Hooper, and hospital attendants in general will hail with delight the advent of the sheet and jacket that will save both mauy struggles with wild sufferer and in many cases personal injury of some sort to either the patient or the nurse. The patent is especially to protect in- sane or delirious patients, and can be adjusted to any bed whatsoever. It can be affixed as readily to cot or sur gieal table. and the patient is held in such a way as not alone to avoid per- sonal injury, but also to prevent the exposure of any part of the body. This will be especially advantageous in many cases where exposure to the air is especially deleterious to the suffer- er's chances of recovery. The pa- tent may be left entirely alone without fear, for the strongest man is utterly helpless when under the sheet. The sheet is made of heavy cotton duck, which can be both laundered and ster- ilized, thus fulfilling all hygienic con- ditions. The sheet fits close around the neck of the prostrate patient, be- ing edged with ehamois to avoid chaf- ing. The arms come through two openings in the sheet and are held down in a chamois lined duck trap ar- engagement that gives ease yet security. The feet are strapped in like manner, being covered with an extra flap Of This extra flap gives a certain freedom to the feet that would be impossible if placed under the main sheet which Is drawn down tight by the fastenings. These are made in such a way as to be impossible to tear out. The head can be turned and the body to some ex- tent, but the most frantic struggles would be productive of no harm on the part of the patient. Two extra straps can be run across the body if deemed necessary. The device has been in use in the city hospital in Baltimore for the mast six months and is given the highest endorsement.

An Old Australian-B Born Woman Deae

An Old Australian Born woman peaGs
 One of the oldest Australian born members of the fair sex died the other day in Sydney at the age of 92. She was born in Sydney in 1907, and in 1923 was married, at the age of 16, to a leading colonist She has left behind her 12 children. 72 grandchildren, 146 grandchildren and 10 great great grandchildren making total of 240 souls. She was the daughter of one of the first twins born in the colony, which makes her one of the second generation, while her descendants gb down to the sixth generation Of Aus- traIian-born. The old lady had a good memory, and was able to tell many stories of olden time in Sydney, for when she was born the present streets of Sydney were but tracks, and the suburbs wild bush, while the back country, where now there are great cities and towns and all the develop ments of civilization, was a terra in- cognita to the white man. The colony was only nineteen years old when the deceased lady first SAW the light

HICKS FOR MAY.

A very warm wave for the season will
appear during the Vulcan storm period
central on the 4th and extending to the
7th. A series If rsius and thunder
storms lasting for several days and oul.
minating about the 9Th ia general cleo
trio storms need not surprise any one as
on that date the moon crosses the celes-
tal equator bringing decided change
to colder. 1t is proper to say that all
storm clouds during this period should
be carefully scanned.
The center of the tornado season as q
rule falls later in May, but we be ieve
that the greatest number OF severe
storms will fall before the Goth. Let nc
one conclude that tornadOes and dan
gerOus storms plutt arise at this time
The storm diagram shows that the com
bined influence of Vulcan, Mercury and
Venus, with the moon at full, will be
felt during the 14th to 18th. A falling
barometer and very warm wave will
move from the west eliminating Ia
many active and dangerous storms
touching the 18th, 18th and 18th. At
the close of tals period cool wave will
bring frosts TO many northern sections
A marked reaction to warmer will ap-
pear from the 2lst to the 24;h and many
electrical storms will be in order.
The great planet is in opposition to
the sun and earth on the h, the
central day of the Vulcan storm period,

total eclipse OF the sun on the 2Stf .
About Saturday the 26;h to Tues

REMARKABLE TALE.

A remarkable story comes from the
Rome correspondent OF the London
Daily Express, who sends an authentic
fac simllie of wonderful Doric Greek
inscription, the discovery of which on
the gateway Of an old place in Ephesus
was announced to the members of the
Archaeological Congress in Rome by
Professor BohrmsnD, OF Vienna Uni
versity. The facsimile was submitted
t. Professor Murray, of the British
Museum. He declares it to be of the
highest possible Importance, tending as
it does to establish the authenticity OF
the correspondence alleged by Euseb-
ius to have passed between Abgarus
V. of Edsssa, and our Lord. The let
ters are written in Syrio-Chaldaic char
actsrs. The letter from Abgarus runs
as follows:
81 have heard of Thee, of the cures
wrought by Thee without herbs or
medicines; for it is reported Thou re-
storeth sight to the blind, maketh the
lame walk, cleaDssth the leper, raisetb
the dead, casteth out devils and uncleaD
spirits and giveth health to those tor
meptedw with disease of long continuance.
Hearing all this of Thee, l am fully per-
sued Thou art the very God come down
from heaven to do such miracles, or that
Thou art the Son of God that performeth
them; wherefore l have sent Thee q
few lines eDtresting Thee to come hitb-
er and cure my disease.
Besides hearing the Jews murmur
against Thee, and continue to do Thee
mischief, invite Thee to my city, which
is but little one, but beautiful and snf-
icient to entertain US BOTH"
Chrst's reply is thus translated:
BLESSED art thou believing Me whom
thou hast not seen, for 1t is written OF
Me, they that have seen Me shall not
believe; they that have not seen Me
shall believe and be saved. But con-
cerDing the latter thou hast written
about, this soquaint you, that all things
for which l was sent htber must be
fulfilled; then | shall be taken up and
returned to Him that sent Me; but after
my ascension will send one OF my dis-
ciples, that shall cure thee of thy dis
temper, and shall give life to all them
that are with thee"
