American Diamonds.

Occasionally small diamonds have
been found among the ridges of gravel
brought down from the north in the
age of the glaciers and scattered over
the states bordering on the great lakes.
Prof. Hobbs, of the University of Wis
consin, thinks that these diamonds
came from some place in Canada, and
that by tracing back the lines of adj
vance Of the glaciers the original loca-
ton of the gems may be discovered.
An effort to carry out Prof Hobbs sug-
gestion is to be made, and Prof. II. l..

ter; Prof I. c. Russell, of the Univer-
sity of Michigan; Prof. j. P. Iddings,

The MalariaI MOSQUITO.

Nature states that Maj. Ronald Ross,
the leader Of the expedition to Sierra
Leone, found that in India the malaria
parasite is borne by the spotted-winged
mosquitoes and not by the common
brindled or gray mosquitoes, and his
recent cable message announced that
malaria on the west coast of Africa
is produced under the same conditions
as in India. There is evidence that the
Misunderstanding species only breeds in
small isolated collections of water
which can be easily dissipated, but the
expedition has not yet had time to
verify this point.-Chicago Tribune.

HUNGRY SUPPLICANTS FED.
4 Chicago Hospital and Its Singula
Method of Dispensing
Charity, ,S

Belief in the Divine principle that the
hungry shall be fed has led the sisters
of charity in certain Chicago hospital
to segregate one portion of their build
ing to the reception and comfort of pen
niless wanderers. While this section of
the hospital outwardly resembles a
prison, it is comfortably furnished, and
those who enter its portals find hope
and encouragement to continue the bat
tie of life.
For years the sisters were annoyed by
the depredations committed upon their
premises by INDECENT characters. TWAS
this and their desire not to turn the
hungry away that induced them to pre-
pare their haven for the foodless. They
summoned a carpenter and informed
him what they required. His ingenuity
solved the problem, and after few
days work the dining-room for the pen
niless was completed.
The entrance is at the northern end
of the basement. 1t is found usually by
some mysterious sign which the last
applicant has left behind. The hungry
supplicant raps at the grated door, and
is surprised to see it slide back noise
lessly, as if in response to his magic
touch. He hears voice bid him Come
in" Somewhat awed by his quiet re-
ception, he enters the corridor, and
turns to his right. Half dozen steps
carry him to another grated door, which
opens into dimly lighted room. Reas-
sured by the jet of light, he shuffiss
forward and seats himself in an easy
chair at a clean, iron-topped table, the
door of the room swinging to and snap
ping behind him. He is prisoner for
the time being, but kindly voice of
sweet-faced sister dispels the queer
feeling which came over him when he
observed the resemblance of his quar-
tiers to prison.
A lift drops at the side from an upper
floor, and the sister, who appears to be
ministering to his wants with mechan-
ical assistance, advises him to help him
self. He inspects the dishes as he trans
fers them to the table, and finds that
he has an excellent meal before him.
Feeling like lord, he sits down and dis
poses of the tempting food. The future
looks more roseate as he finishes and
arises to replace the empty dishes in the
lift. He hears the door open again, and
passes out, lowly muttering his thanks
in an audible tone to his unseen bene-
factor as he returns to the sunlight

SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY.
North Carolina 10 to have an ingrai

North Carolina is to have an ingram
carpet mill.
Virginia's net revenue from the fish
and oyster industries for the year ended
March 81 last was $34,247.
There are SO silk plants in Pennsyl-
vania, and the output of silk ribbon in
the state has been doubled in three
years.
In Massachusetts, more money is in
vested in cotton mills than in any other
manufacturing industry, but the max
Ing of boots and shoes yields the most
valuable product.
A cyanide teaching vat made of wood
which had been in use for years was re-
Gently tested as to the percentage of
values absorbed. A hole was bored one
half inch deep in the bottom. and the
shavings therefrom assayed $l3 per ton.
Thus, says the Mining and Scientific
Press, the absorption by wooden tanks
is shown not to be as great as has been
claimed.
The American coal exhibit at the
Paris exposition will be very complete.
1t will consist largely of small cubes
of about four pounds weight. Views
of various coIlieries, shipping arrange
ments, etc, will also be shown. A model
of the New York state prison at Sing
Sing will be one of the exhibits of the
state of New York. The model itself
will be made of alabaster and is the
work of the inmates.
Science meets occasionally with hui
morous rebuffs. Prof. Helen Campbell,
who until year ago occupied the chair
of domestic economics in the Kansas
university, lectured one evening before
literary society in an out-of-the-way
town. At the end of the address one of
the committee, a tall, gaunt woman,
said aloud: "Well! l thought was
going to learn something, but it was
just lot of ordinary housekeeping
mixed up with long words nobody could
understand"

1t would be difficult to describe the

her lovers life and his unwilling yield :
