NEW CUT FOR DIAMONDS.
'Tis Known as the twentieth Gen.

'Tis Known as the twentieth Gen.
fury"
Diamond lovers have a pleasant
surprise before them in the twentieth
century cut" which has recently come
to Chicago. Diamonds cut according
to this pattern double their retroactive
power and their value, too, for that
matter. The increase of cost is due
to the great waste in cutting so many
tiny facets. The facets converge to
tiny point, doing away with the
central table of the old-fashioned
diamond cut. The light is reflected
in a thousand rays, and the gem
sparkles with scintillating brilliancy.

Mr.. Deakin is widely known as a
collector Of pearls, and is just now re-
IjOicing in the possession of the
largest one which has ever been
found in the Mississippi river. Some
time last fall the pearl fishers came
upon it near Prairie du CHEN and
after passing through several hands it
came on him. He has named it the

one tests it at the scales and finds
that it's weight is 1O8A grains. 1t IS
perfect in shape, being a fattened
sphere, and adapted for superb set
ting. It is ideal in purity and of a
rich creamy tone.
Color and size and quality are the
three virtues which unite in making q
perfect pearl. The fresh-water pearls
are in no way inferior to the oriental
gems of the same family. In a col
lection of several hundred every

from dazzling white to the singular
black and the rich golden yellow.
Foam tints of pale rose and opalescem

popular with connoisseurs of rare
gems. THE American" is a marvel
and the weight Of 108M grains places
1t at the head OF all fresh-water pearls.

Irregular Gems Are r; ored.

Irregular pearls-those of Odd
shapes and rough surface-are called
''baroques." In his search Mr.. Deakin
has gathered together what is prob
ably one of the most extensive collec-
tions in the country. "Baroques" vary
in color and texture after the manner
OF perfect gems. Their irregular
shapes place them in sphere of their

wearers because of the admirable way
in which they may be adapted 70

CANADA'S GROWTH.
Its Phenomenal Advance Told in
Consular Report.

Consular Report.
Washington, May 3.-Consul Gener-
al Bettinger at Montreal in the cad
vance sheets of the consular report,
has an interesting report on the de-
velOpment of Canada. At no period,
he says, has it received so many i'm
migrants as in the last two years.
No country in the world during the
past ten years has gone forward so
rapidly and substantially along all
lines as Canada
In 1867 there were but 1000 miles
of railway. Today there are $4,000.
In 1901 the country reached high
water mark in commerce, trade and
internal improvements. Compared
with ten years ago her exports have
doubled, and last year were $190,O0O,-
900.
Last seasons grain crop in Mantle
ba alone was 85,O0O,0O0 bushels. The
value of the produce of Manitoba
farms last season was $40,000000, ex-
elusive of the revenue from hay,
stock and the root crop.
The demand for land is rapidly in
creasing. Last year the Canadian Pa
cific sold 100000 acres for farm pur-
poses and the Canada Northwest Land
company 10000 acres.

Milwaukee's New and Progressive
Millinery House.

Blumenfeld, Locher & Brown Co., the
new and progressive wholesale millinery
house of Milwaukee, now located at 1858
and 80 Broadway, has met with such
great success that they found their quar-
ters not large enough for their growing
trade and have leased the large building,
372 and 374 Broadway, in addition,
which will give them more than double
the space occupied by them at present
and with these increased facilities will
enable them to be still more in line to
serve the trade. The firm lays claim
of being the best trimmed hat house in
the West and guarantees correct styles
and lowest prices III all departments. If
you are not already a customer, send

Street Railway Company Likely to
Replace Air Brakes With the
Magnetic System.

AS a result Of recent successful expert
ments, the air brakes In use at present
on the Twin City Rapid Transit COM
pany s cars will probably soon be replaced
by the electrical brake system, with which
cars are now equipped in Pittsburg and
other eastern cities. a
The magnetic track brake" as it IS
technically, called, is a new departure in
the brake control Of electric cars for city
and interurban service. It Is q combina-
ton of a track brake and wheel brake A
strong electro magnet is suspended be-
tween the wheels Of the truck which,
when energized by current, generated by
the car motors, Is attracted to the rail-.
The resistance Of the track shoe on the
rail applies the wheel shoes. The .retard-
ing power Is so distributed between the
rail and the wheels as to make a sud-
den stop possible without ssidding the
wheels.
This is the advantage of the electric
over the old style brake as a. car going
at the rate Of fifteen miles an hour could
be stopped within It's length. This prac-
tically eliminates the danger Of accidents,
because of inability to stop cars quickly,
which has become such serious problem
for street railway companies.
Ice on the rail or slippery rails do not
affect the application of the brake. The
shoes of the elecrro magnet will seize and
vent1on of such obstruction. AS the shoes
are between the wheels OF; the motor
truck, they will clean the rails effectually
for the hind wheels, thus making the
whole braking system effective.
The power obtained from using the
motors as generators is sufficient, not only
to operate the brake, but also to heat the
car, the heater being used as the resist
anoe coil for operation Of the brakes
The consideration which has Influenced
the street railway company most in max
ing the change Is the damage done: to car
wheels through the sudden application of
air brakes by inexperienced mtormen
Unless the air brake Is artistically applied
it ''skids" and fattens the rim of the
wheels. 81
