DOM PAUL's BIG DIAMOND.
Costly Gem Taken by the Boer Pres
ident When He Went Into
Exile in Europe.

One of the most valuable of precious
stones, although less is heard of it
than of the Kohinoor or the Hope dia-
mond, is that which was in the posses
sion of President Paul Kruger at the
time of the outbreak of the Boer war,
and is probably in some safe place
subject to his order at the present
time. Mr.. Kruger took it with him
when he left South Africa. 1t has
very curious history, says a London
paper.
The diamond originally belonged to
Meshhesh, a Basuto chief, from whom
it was extorted by T'Chaka, the Zulu
king. TChaka's brother killed him
and stole the stone. The brother came
to grief and the gem passed, into the
possession OF Zulu chief, who soon
afterward was assassinated. The ma
tives say that no less than 16 of the
successive possessors of the diamond
| either were killed or driven out of the
country for the sake of the gem. The
diamond then was seen by white men,
who set out to possess it. A party of
| whites attacked the natives who had
the stone in their possession and a
fierce fight ensued, in which 300 lives,
mostly natives, were lost.
| Memela, a native chief, took the gem
and concealed it in wound which he
| had received in the battle. Afterward
Memela was caught by the Beers and
set to work as a slave. Kruger, hear
ing his story, released him and in
| gratitude Memela gave the stone to
his liberator. Some years passed and
| then Kruger shared the fate which
had overtaken all the former posses
killed-he was driven from power and
forced to leave his native country.
| Where the fatal diamond is now is not
certain, though it is certain that the
ex-president of the Transvaal has
parted with it. Some say that it is in
| the. Golfers of the vatican and some that
| it was sold to the emperor of Austria
and is now among the crown jewels of
| Vienna.
The stone is said to be 200 carats I'M
| weight, but is not perfect. Its history
is one which would not recommend it
as talisman to any one of supersti-
| tious turn of mind, no matter if it was
the largest and finest diamond in the
world. 1t is almost as grewsome a
| possession as that hideous little In
dian idol which Nine. Carnot directed
in her will to be destroyed. This idol
was given to President Carnot by a
friend, who laughingly told him le-
gend attached to it, which was to the
effect that its possessor would attain
supreme power and then die by the
! knife. The idol had belonged to the
rajahs of Khadjuro of whom five GER
tainly-perhaps more-died by the
knife of an assassin. Carnot laughed
when his friend told him of the legend
attaching to the idol, but after it
came into his possession Garnet be-
came president of France and died by
an assassip's dagger.

that the solution of the mechanical
towage problem is solved. The boats
are hauled singly-the government,
which owns the canals and paths, will
not permit the haulage of more than
one boat-by an electric tractor,
which runs along the bank, deriving
it's power from an overhead trolley
system. No tracks are provided for
these tractors. When the path is too
narrow for two machines to pass each
other they simply exchange barges
and return, each upon it's own road.

be encounted in keep the tractors on
the narrow pathway, despite the abb
sence of rails. A speed of about 21A,
miles an hour is attained with boat

Trephining the skull is known as
a probable treatment used by pre-
historic surgeons. 1t appears that
the ancient practice still survives in
Melanesia, and Rev. j. A. Crump re-
ports that natives of New Britain
treat fractures from sling-stones by
trephimng with a piece of shell or a.
flake of obsidian. In so per cent. of
the cases recovery follows in two or
three weeks, the deaths being due
mostly to the original injury. In
New Ireland, trephining is also per-
formed for epilepsy and certain
forms f insanity, and the natives de-
clare that the cures are numerous,
while injurious results are rare.
