Chicago, Dec. 7.-Speculation on the
Board of Trade was on the rampage
again to-day. Once more record prices
in all grains were topped and bull
enthusiasm ran from pit to pit, set
ting all traders in a fever of excite~
ment. The conditions back of the up
ward whirl of prices were almost
identical with those that started the
strong bull movement here Wednes-
day and Thursday. Although the Wis
iting stockmen are rapidly leaving the
city, many of them are still buying.
Country orders, especially for wheat,
deluged the commission houses this
forenoon before trade opened. Added
to this big demand however, was a
new and powerful bull incentive, that
of capitalistic speculation. Prominent
brokers say that the country has gone
speculation mad and that men who
usually trade in stocks are turning to
grain.
Trade seemed almost to ignore the
early natural conditions which usual
ly turn markets. However, the news
to-day was bullish. Both the Liver

The kOh-t-NOOr and the HOpe-Ad-
ventures They Have Had.
From the New York Evening Post.
The Koh-i-noor, one of the most
famous diamonds in the world, which
used to be worn on special state oc-
casions by Queen Victoria, may be
CONSPICUOUS again at the coronation
The king is understood TO have ordered
it TO be placed in the special crown
that is being made for Queen AleXan-
ORA. The Koh-inoor, which is usually
kept among the crown jewels at the
tower. was discovered originally in the
celebrated mines of Go'conda, about the
middle of the sixteenth century. 1t
passed through the hands of several
Indian princes. and was presented to
Queen Victoria in 1S49 by Dhuleep
Singh, the last native ruler of the
Punjaub. The value of this famous gem
has been estimated at $10,000,000
The Koh-i-noor had a narrow escape
before it reached the late queen. After
the annexation of the Punjaub in
1S49 it was given up to the British,
and at a meeting of the board was
handed to John (afterward Lord) Law
renee in a small box beneath folds of
linen for safe keeping. He placed it
in his waistcoat pocket and forgot the
treasure. When he dressed for dinner
the waistcoat containing it was thrown
carelessly on one side. At a subsequent
meeting of the Punjaub Board Henry
Lawrence suggested to his brother the
ACCESSIBILITY of at once forwarding the
Koh-i-noor to Queen Victoria. John
Lawrence had forgotterr that the dia--
mond had been given him; then sud
denly remembering, he quilted the
board with an unruf1ied countenace,
hurried home and inquired of his man
servant if he had seen a small box
which had been left in the waistcoat
pocket. Yes. sahib," the man replied,

The famous Hope diamond. which
has Just changed owners was origi-
nally one of the French crown jewels.
During the stormy days of the French
Revolution, the regalia were put under
the charge of the Paris Commune and
lodged in the Garde Meuble, whence
one night the whole was stolen. The
thieves were never discovered, but
an anonymous letter informed the
Commune that one or two articles
would be found in a certain ditch. This
proved true. and among the objects
recovered was the famous Pitt or Re-
gent diamond. This stone was found
in India in 1901 by a slave, who, to
conceal Il, made a wound in his leg
and wrapped the diamond in the band
ages. Reaching the coast he intrusted
himself and his secret to an English
captain, who, thereupon threw the
slave overheard. and sold the stone TO
a native merchant for $4,000. It after
ward passed into the hands of Pitt,
governor of Fort st. George. who sold
It in l7l7 10 the Duke of Orleans, then
regent of France. for S615,0O0. The
Hope diamond is portion of remark
able stone brought to France by
Travernier and sold to Louis XIV. The
thieves. who obtained the stone in 1892,
apparently broke 1t into three pieces,
OF which the Hope diamond was far
the largest; but all reappeared again
after the sufficient interval of OBSCURE

A SHIP CAPTAIN DISAPPEARS.

Florida Times-Union and Citizen:
Seven days missing. with his vessel
lying in the stream ready to sail for
New York on the very day that he left
her, the disappearance of Capt. A. P.
Thompson of the barkentine Harry
Merryday has developed into a mys-
terry that has caused some excitement
and great deal of uneasiness in local
marine circles. That a captain should
not report to his vessel promptly on
the hour that she was to sail has hap
pened before, but there has never been
a case where, with everything ready
to put to sea. the captain has sudden
ly and completely lost himself to sight
as effectually as has Capt. Thompson.
His home is in Machias, Me-. where
he has a wife and children. He is a
