he had served aess than two
years Of his appointment, and

Hen Terrier.

A. ". Giehm of Sioux City, Iowa. re- gently purchased 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.

MR J 4 &L4NGF0RDs

In our regular announcement col umn can be found the announce. ment of Mr. j. A. Langford as a candidate for re election as circuit clerk. As IS vel known, Mr. Lang. ford is the present incumbent, is personally known to the voters of the county and in his behalf but little needs to be said. He is 6 candidate for reelection ou his merits, and so far as we know has made most capable and acceptable official. He is uniformly courteous and obHglng, and has a empetent corps Of assistants in his office. No shadow of blot or blemish rests upon his title, his canvass two years ago having been genteel and his nomination unquestioaed Under such circumstances it is customary 10 grant an officer who has given satisfaction second term, and it is therefore likely that Mr. Langford will have DO opposition for re cleo
 ton. Should he be renominated aud re elected, Mir. Langford will nc doubt continue to give satisfaction to the people and the patrons of the office in the future as in the past.

How Glass Affects Bacteria

The extreme delicacy of many sci entife processes is indicated by the report of pr. Martin Picker, Ger man investigator, that bacteria are af- fected favorab1y, or otherwise, by the character of the glass containing the water in which they are suspended Marked differences in the behavior of cholera germs were noted, according to the kind of glass composing the vessels used. The degree of alkaIinity imparted by the glass to the water is believed to be an important factor in these experiments.

ORIGIN OF THE DIAMOND.
flo Explained As the Recent Discovery
 in Kimberly.

Ss Explained hs the Recent Discovery
 in Kimberly.
 The origin of diamonds, which for 50 long has been debated question, appears to be explained by recent discovery near Kimberly. In both tho Indian and the Brazilian diamond fields the gem occurs like pebble in certain gravel1y 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 riv- 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, olivine, etc, Excavatfons-begun unsystematically were eventually carried on on such scale that near Kimberly they have reached depth of more than 1,400 feet. Here the rock is about as hard uS l1uCSlOA1S. QS pAAs 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 a molten con- dition are occasionally found. The blue ground fills 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 diamond mine near Kimberly picked up specimen in which smaller diamonds were appar~ ent1y embedded in a garnet This led to an investigation of various bowl ders, one of wkich was broken open and was found to contain diamonds. The rock is of the description known to mineraIogists as "eclogite." It is apparently composed almost exclusive
 
 ly of red garnet rock and a rather peculiar light green augite. 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-marked, and may have rested for ages in an an- cient gravel at the very bottom of sedi- mentary rocks of the district Tn 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 overlyins materials. It is believed that this is the true explanation of the formation of the diamond-bearing "blue ground" Boston Herald.
