VOLCANO DIAMONDS.
Found Amidst the Rocks and
LAVA Eruptcd.

Late London mail adyice> convey the
information ;hat De Beers are about
to send an expedition to the scene Of
the recent volcanic disturbances in the
West Indies to look for diamonds, re-
ports the New York Times.
1t is recalled that few years ago,
some large octahedron crystals were
found in Barbados which were later
identified as white spinels, which are
frequently unearthed where diamonds
are, although by themselves, and even
when colOred, are often very valuable.
The French crown jews contain n
spinel ruby of 563I caratS, and another
which was valued at 5O.OrO francs in
1891, one of / 20 GoI "r ar of 3&
caratS, being each N,.,,.. a, oyJ francs.
Small spinels fetch from siN irancs
to l3 francs per carat; specimen
stones fetch even more. \ stone that
a New Guinea gold dprospector recently
exchanged for a bottle of saccharine
pellets was sold in sydney. y. :. W.,
for $500.
y pecuIiarity Of the spinel is that,
no matter what be the color Of the
stone, the light which is reelected
from the depth Of the gem is always
a pale yellow. \ blue spinel has been
consigned a. II sapphire, and was re
turned To the consignor, who had it
cut and received more for it than it
would have made had it really been Il
sapphire, \ spinel collected 10y DR..
Heron is said to weigh - pounGs.
When spinel crystals are very fine they
are considered gems, and De Beers
think, having been found in large
quantities in st. Lucia, il is not un-
likely that they will be found in Mar
Unique and st. Vincent.

the most primitive human habjtatio"
in the valley j. probably it, oldest in
habitant.
Twenty-siX years ago. says y. II.
Chittendcn. in the Los Angeles Herald.
when | first rode into the old Mexican
village of Aqua Mansa. about four
miles from Cotton. on the banks Of the
Santa Ana. he was nearly 30 Years uf
age.
Possessing extraordinary strength
in his younger days, and personal cour-
age to match, he was the victor in many
combats of war and with love rivals.
In one of these furious encounters of
more than 20 years ago his antagonist,
also an Indian of great power, bit OFF
one of DiOnicio's thumbs.
For many years during the exclusive
occupation of southern California by
the herds and nocks of the mission
fathers and of the Spanish grantees of
extensive domains, Dionicio was the
principal vaquero on the extensive
ranch of Paso Trajilla. But the oldest
American settlers of so years ago re-
member him az then too far advanced
in years for such service, and when
compelled to retire therefrom he built
Of poles, reeds and mud the rude little
hut in which he has lived ever since.
Once or twice week. carrying his ra-
tion sack, he visits his white friends
in Cotton. who furnish him with pro-
visions. For nearly ten years kind
hearted Portuguese woman, Maria
Cunlia. has fed him at her home when
ever he comes to town.

He has been village physician, and
a schoolmaster. During his political
career he made a specially of public
education, and in the shortlived rad
ical ministry of NJ. Leon Bourgeois
in 1895 he was minister of that dc.
partment. NJ. Combes is a personal

suggested his name as the man most
likely to succeed in forming u cab

ity of the new parliament. NJ,

bourgeois, Sarrien, Vale, Trouillot,
Delcasse and Gen. Andre.
In the formation of his cabinet,
which was effected in the unprece-
dented period of As hours, NJ. Combes
followed on all essential points the
advice of NJ. Waldeck-Rousse NJ
Combes is not a brilliant orator, but
has logical, businesslike way of
stating n case that carries with it
sympathy and conviction. He is by
no means an ambitious man, and in
the lobbies of the chamber it is
whispered that NJ. Rouvier, to whom
he entrusted the portfolio of finance.
will soon supplant him as prime min
lister. NJ. Combes is an out-and-out
radical and anti-clerical, and pro-
poses to deal Immediately with the
questions of state monopoly of edu-
cation and the repeal of the Falloux
law so favorable to the religious or
ders.
NJ. Combes, physically, is the small
est member OF the cabinet. He lives
modestly, near the senate house. He
is president of the democratic group
in the senate. The positions he has
held-chairman of the committee of
the law of associations and reporter
of the bill on secondary education
marked him out for the premiership.

HOMES AMONG THE TREES.
The Prevailing Desire for Them En-
nbles Real Estate Dealers to
Build ap Fine Tracts.

There is in nearly every family a
longing for home with shade around
it. No amount of city distraction can
completely kill it. 1t may slumber,
but it never dies. 1t is bred in the bone
and born in the blood. In many cases
it seeks its desire of its own volition.
In most instances it has to be stirred
to action. And here is where the COM
panies that develop large tracts of
land in or near cities do good work,
says the New York World. The fact
that responsible men can take many
acres within short ride of the busi-
ness section, build fine streets and
pavements, put in water mains and
gas and electricity, spend large sums
in advertising; and then sell lots that
will suffice for separate houses, with
few shade trees around them, at
comparatively small sums on easy
terms, shows that after all land near
a city is not so expensive when handled
on a large scale.
In or around all cities settlements
built up in this way have become val
liable and beautiful. Thousands have
obtained their homes among the trees.
A general good that follows these en-
terpri,es is the regularity Of the
streets. The average city in its
growth followed old roads and thus
its streets became twisted.
