Many CoIored Diamonds.

One naturally thinks of diamonds
as having no color except that
gained BY reflection of light, but all
diamonds are not white.
The most beautiful and precious
OF all stones is the red diamond,
which surpasses even the ruby in
beauty.
Dark blue diamonds, varying only
from sapphires in quality and in the
exquisite play of colors peculiar to
the diamond, are very handsome
gems.
Black and rose colored diamonds
are also rare, but the green is
scarce, but when it does occur is
more brilliant than the finest en-
erald, says Home Notes.
The Museum Of Natural History
in Paris contains several varieties
Of green tinted diamonds, but the
finest known is at Dresden.
The most perfect collection is in
he Niennamuseum. 1t is in the form
IF a bouquet, the different flowers
being represented by stones of cor
responding color. The stones were
by Virgil Won Hcimricher,
young Tyrolese, who spent many
ears In the diamond mines.

Rainhow CoIored uniform..

From all accounts, the recent expert
ments made at Aldershot for conceal
ing the positions Of gums in the field,
by painting them with daubs of the
primary colors, red, blue and yellow,
seem to have met with extraordinary
success. Six guns so bedlzened were
placed on the Fox Hills, and at 5000
yards, although the direction in which
they lay was known, it was found Inn
possible to locate them all. even with
field glasses. Some horse artillery
sent forward to engage them were
unable to find them until they had
advanced to within 1000 yards, by
which time, in actual warfare, the
gaily covered guns would have prob
ably made short work Of them. The
streaks of color are splashed on, rain
bow-fashiOn, and the result is TO cause
the guns TO appear as part and parcel
of the landscape, even at a short dis
tance.
Once this principle has been adopted
for artillery. what reason is there to
suppose that it cannot be applied to
the uniform of men in the field? Per
haps we shall be shortly returning to
the gorgeous costumes Of former days.
Khaki and heather tweed may even
make way for combinations Of color
that win throw into the shade all the
brilliant uniforms Of the past At first
sight this may seem a frivolous idea,
but once it has been established that
men garbed in rainbow hues will emu
late the properties Of Mr.. Wells in
visible man, we shall be obliged to
consider the advisability Of reforming
uniform in this directlon.' The appear
lnce Of the soldier will be crude, bar
Daric and singular, but we doubt not
that it will have considerable effect
lpon the recruiting problem. and per.
haps go some way to solve it.-Lon-

Nature seems to have made Jamaica
the home of the banana, but it re-
mained for American enterprise to turn
the fruit to gold 1t is estimated that
100000 punches of bananas were
shipped from this island last year. At
an average of thirty-fve cents bunch,
this would yield S3,150,000 1t is also
stated that about S1,S50,000 Is paid out
annually in wages by fruit companies.
This would bring total Of S5,00O,00O
to the island in one year as direct re-
suit OF the fruit trade.
