The crowd paid but little attention to
the occupants Of the vehicles. In the last
carriage OF the first procession sat Prince
Henry OF Prussia on the back seat, but
he was so occupied with tnlking TO the

the crowds. The prince of Wales also
seemed very Indifferent and stolld but the
princess of Wales bowed and smiled con-

BABY FOUND First DIAMOND.
Native Child Forerunner OF
south African Mines.

Mr.. Howard Hensman, in his new
biography Of Cecil Rhodes, tells the
following story Of the first diamond
found in South Africa:
I'm 1867 diamonds had been discov-
cred in the region to the north of
the Orange river. This discovery
was made accidentally. A Boer fam
lily one day saw a native child glee-
fully playing with a small pebble that
glittered and coruscated in the sun
with unusual brilliance. He took the
stone from the child, examined it
and carried it home with him. He
could have had but little idea Of
what the stone really was, for, prob
ably, the only time he had ever
heard of diamonds was when he had
read the Old Testament; but Boer
has always a keen eye for business
and, thinking that the stone might
have some commercial value, the
farmer showed il TO a British trader
named O'Reilly. O'Reilly seems TO
have recognized the stone immedi-
htely as a diamond and bought it Of
the Boer-after considerable hag-
gling-for $50. Next he submitted
1t TO DR.. Atherstone, of Grahams-
town-an authority on mineralogy-
who unhesitatingly declared it to be
a diamond of the purest water. The
diamond was then shown TO Sir Phil
Up Woodehouse, high commissioner
Of the Cape, and was bought by him
from O'Reilly for 800"
