Precious Stones.

Recent arrivals from Sosth Africa
have brought the most wondrous spec
linens of diamonds" with them, beau
tiful to behold, but alas! they would not
scratch glass, while some Of the most
beautiful of all can be cut with pOck-
etknife. 1t is tolerably simple to say
whether a stone is a diamond or not.
If you can scratch sapphire with it,
you want no further test 1t Is dla-
mond. If you rub it with wool or on
wood in the dark, and 1t phosphoresces.
it Is diamond. If you look through 1t
at a light and see only one light. 1t is
most probably a diamond. The N-rays
nave discovered that diamond is near
ly, If not quite, translucent to those
rays, whereas the brightest paste"
contains most lead and throws the
blacklist shadow. And diamond tastes
cold, whereas a paste gem tastes warm.

an end to it. But power need not be
violence. We may see how strange,
subtle. unscrutable, far-reaching and ir-
resistible is the power placed in the
hands of these men when we remember
that the entire Sampson-Schley contro-
verSy was inaugurated and carried on
by the steel trust. at wh0se instigation
Sampson was forced TO the front over
Schley and Schley was robbed of the
credit for his victory at Santiago. Two
years and half have passed since the
victory. You will observe that for the
same reason the victor's reward is still
denied him. And at this very moment
the agents of the steel trust are work
ing to have Sampson promoted over
Schley's head.
1t is not by force and arms and
bloody battles that modern feudalism
which is all that the billion-dollar
trust means-wins its way. 1t has dis
covered an agent more powerful than
of an effective way to confuse and dis
tort the issue. The men that can do
that in this country are mightier than
all the kings that ever lived. Yet we
need not be disturbed about the final
result. Beyond doIbt from all this evil
good will come. Ownership by one man
of all the railroads of the country only
paves the way 10 ownership by the

A BILLION SESSION IN SIGHT.

Senator Allison, chairman of the Ap-
preparations Committee. is Rcpuhli-
can leader WHO is not given 10 eNaS
gerating in estimating expenditures by
Republican Congresses. When he
states. as he did on the floor of the Sen
ate Thursday. that the appropriations
during the present session will approx
innate 0,000.000. with obligations of
s6O,0OO,OG0 more for future sessions, we
may well believe that the total will not
be less. According to another Republi-
can Senator-Haie of Maine-who I'M
derstands the situation in this respect
very well, even the enormous figures
given by Senator Allison may be $780,
100000 below the mark.
Be il observed that il was this dis
tinguishcd Republican Senator, not a
raptious or meudacious Democratic
critic, who made this estimate and who
declared that the tide of expenditure
was rapidly rising and that the time
was approaching when instead of a
billion dollar Congress the public would
be shocked to find themselves watch
ing the proceedings of billion dollar
session. If any Democratic statesman
has said mole than this regarding the
tendency to prodigal expenditure the
fact has escaped the notice of the
Chronicle,
Before the war with Spain the aver
age expenditures for number of years
had been less than S365, ,O00, 900, or less
than S1,000.000 n day. According TO
Mr.. Allison's estimate. deducting S12O,

Salt Lake of Larnarca.

In the island Of Cyprus is basin cut
off from the sea, although sunk slight
ly below sea level. which contains a
salt lake from which considerable
harvest of salt is annually obtained in
August, when the fierce summer heat
dries up the water. C. V. Bellamy. who
recently visited the lake called Larnar-
ca, thinks sea water percolates through
the rocks into the basin, thus supply
Ing the salt. A single heavy rain in
midsummer has sometimes sufiiced to
ruin the salt crop and the Cyprians, in
order to protect the valuable lake as
much as possible, have constructed
channels to carry off the flood water of
rains from the slopes Of the basin into
