Kamr Banking.

The Kaff1rs have a simple method Of
banking. Before setting out to trade
they select one of their number as
their banker and put all their money
In his bag When an article is pur-
chased by any Of those who are in this
combine, the price is taken by the
banker from the bag. counted several
times and then paid to the seller, after
which all the bank depositors cry out
to the banker In the presence of two
witnesses selected: You owe me 90
much" This is then repeated by the
witnesses. The general accounting
comes between the banker and his sew
eral deposltors when all the purchases
have been made, after which all the
natives go home.

SOFT WATER AND WASHING.
Use OF Raia Water In Washsub II IN
Economy.

Ose OF haIl Water In Washtub II an
Economy.
1t Is commonly supposed that the
use OF soft WATERMAN water. for ex-
ample-for washing purposes econo-
mizes soap. But while 1t Is perfectly
true that the lime salts In hard water
nuilify to some extent the soap by
forming insoluble lime soaps, yet the
expenditure Of soap. at least In toilet
purposes. Will be found to be consid-
eraoly less than when rain water Is
used. while the cleansing effect Is Just
as good. The explanation OF this IL
that the soap II 50 very readily solu-
Die In soft water that considerably
more soap Is used than is necessary.
everybody knows the slippery feel
ing OF rain water In which the hands
nave been washed with soap, and no
amount OF rinsing would appear to
remove the soapiness from the skin.
IN this case 1t Is doubtful when soap
Is used whether, after all, rain water
or sort water is better for the COM
ple4lon or skin than hard tap water.
IL Is certainly not so refreshing. In
manufacturing processes or In the
washtub 1t Is true the use of soap
IN soft water IL an economy. 1t is In
this way. OF course, that the addition
OF sods, throwing out the lime salt.
saves soap. 1t has been estimated that
II London were supplied with soft
water the saving OF soap would amount
10 tens OF thousands of pounds per
annum, and Glasgow Is estimated to
save $4,000 annually In the matter
OF soap since using Loeb Katrine
water. That may be so, but in the
matter OF personal washing there is
waste OF soap produced rather than
an economy by using soft water. The
ract that a tablet Of soap disappears
much more quickly when rain water
Is used instead of hard tap water u
proof OF this assertion.-Lancet

For years Bunalos claim to the

reverted to its former name, Garden

referred to as the Windy city. St

Various Kinds OF the Metal That Re-

1t is popular idea that steel a
a hard, polished metal like a dagger
or a razor and capable of carrying a
cutting edge, but there are steels OF
various kinds that do not possess the
qualities mentioned. Structural steel.

over, careful analysis fails to dis
cover the line Of actual departure be-
tween steel and iron In the lower
grades Of each metal or where the
meta commences to be steel. so to
speak, and stops being iron. But as
between the two metals. iron ana
steel, there Is vast difference In their
endurance and ability to stand severe
work. and modern engineers have
very great advantage over their pre-
deccssors Of half a century ago In the
possession Of it. In modern open
hearth and other process steels the
amount of fatigue or continuous re-
sistance to crucial strains OF long
duration which they will endure Is
simply astonishing-not laboratory or
test machine strains, but the down.
right pounding and fogging OF daily
work, which is far more serious than
any testing machine can deliver. This
last sets up a certain stress In

to failure under It, but the duty I'M
posed upon steel by daily work in

only to resist tensile strains, but tor

Iithographic Stone II Scarce.

An important industry Is the pro-
duction Of lithOgraphic stone. and up
to the present time our main sources
OF supply have been limestone quar-
ries at Solnhofen, Bavaria. Germany.
These quarries have been supplying
the United States with stone for many
years, but are said to be becoming un-
satisfactory, both In regard to quality
and dependability OF supply. Whas-
ever the cause the orders for German
stone by firms In this country have
not been expeditiously filled. These
facts are tending to stimulate the
search for good deposits OF this stone

DIAMOND IN BACK YARD.
va1nAbl0 Gem FOUad in AlAAaml Co.
Odd Circumstancea.


Odd Circumstances.
Biologists have just about made up
their minds that diamonds will never
be found in this country in any con-
siderable quantities. Every now and
then a gem OF this kind turns up in
an accidental sort Of way In one place
or another and suggestions Of diamond
fields offer themselves to imaginative
people. Why, 1t is urged, should not
the United States, 20 rich in almost
everything else. possess this kind OF
mineral wealth, hidden away In some
unsupported locality? Such Z thing is
possible. but unlikely Geolosically
nearly the whole of this country has
been pretty well explored, and there
does not seem to be any prospect that
1t will ever rival South Africa a. a
producer Of diamonds. A few dollars
worth OF these gems per annum ap-
pears to be about all we can reason
ably expect as an output The only
diamond Of considerable size that we
produced last year weighed four and
a half karats, and was found almost
thirty miles south Of Birmingham, Ala,
under rather odd circumstances. It
turned up in a backyard garden where
some earth had been put in to fill up q
few holes, Presumably the gem was
contained originally In this earth, q
portion Of which was placed close to
the house, where water dripped upon
1t from the overha1 ;ing roof. BY and
by little girl came out of the house
into the garden. It had been raining
hard. and she noticed near the steps a
particularly bright pebble, which had
been washed clean by the rain. Secur-
Ing 1t she took 1t to her mother, and
later 1t was identified as a real dia-
mond of remarkably pure water. Ex-
perts state that 1t would yield a cut
stone Of one karat and q half or possi-
bly, more.-Philadelphia Saturday Ev-
