and Codd, meet at Singapore. Latter two

ure at Sengkor-Wat-old Burmese ruin
near Chinese border Hayle only half be-
Neves account, but nevertheless agrees to
join In search.
PART II.-Reaching Sengkor- Wat, the
men make their way through the ancient
streets and toward the once splendid pail

search they come upon secret entrance to
underground vaults. in which are discov-
rubies and sapphires. Hayle fills bcuh
hands with gems and the men make their
way outside again. On reaching camp they
find their two Burmese servants slain and
horribly mutilated, Chinese fashion. Dur
ing the night Hayle secures treasure and
steals away into the jungle.

4 EainI Diamond.

There is 200 carat South African
diamond once in the possession of Mr..
Kruger and now believed to be in the
Golfers of the Vatican.
This stone belonged first to Meshesh,
Basuto chief, from whom it was eX-
torted by that blood stained tyrant
T'Chaka, king of the Zulus. His broth
er killed T'Chaka and stole the stone,
but he, too, met n bloody end few
months later, and the natives say that
no less than sixteen of its successive
possessors were killed or driven out
for the sake of the gem. 1t then was
seen by white men, who tried to take
it by force. A savage fight ensued, in
which 300 lives were lost, and at the
end OF 1t the stone was gone.
Memela, Il minor chief, had taken 1t
and concealed it in a wound he had re-
ceived during the battle. Afterward
Memela was caught by Beers and
made a slave. Kruger released him,
and the man in gratitude gave him the
jewel which had cost so many lives

THE THORNDIkE DIAMONDS
Presented by ERypt's Khedive to
General Sherman.

Presented by Egypt's Khedive to
General Sherman.
The most interesting diamonds in
Boston belong to Mrs. Thorndike,
daughter of the late General W. T.
Sherman and long favorite in diplo-
matte society at Washington. The gen
eral was greatly admired by the khe-
dive of Egypt. When Mrs. Thorndike's
sister, Minnie Sherman, was married
TO Lieutenant Z. w. Fitch, his majesty,
desirous of expressing his friendship
for the old warrior, selected from his
treasury diamonds valued at 100000,
had them set as a necklace and sent
the gorgeous ornament to the bride.
But an unfeeling United States Gus
toms department fell upon the wedding
gift and held 1t for n ransom Of $780,
900, the amount of the legal 10 per
cent duty. Here was pretty how
d'you do, for neither the bridegroom
nor the general could scrape together
the newspapers gossiped and the hus-
band grew pale with modification. But
there was naturally sympathetic feel
ing on the part Of every American wo-
man at the thought Of poverty strick-
Ell bride unable to gaze upon 100000
in diamonds that actually belonged to
her. a public subscription was started,
interested, and finally congress stepped
in and, goaded to chivalrous rescue by
its wives and daughters, remitted the
duty by special enactment.
Can you not imagine the rejoicings of
the Fitches and Shermans when the
splendid gems were at last placed on
the beautiful neck for which they We're
intended and the pride with which
their owner allowed them to be placed
for safe keeping in the United States
treasury? But you certainly cannot
imagine her horror when a great. ugly
brute Of tax collector from some
Pennsylvania county in which she
lived sauntered in and demanded an
annual tax more than equaling the
lleutenants salary for an entire year.
That settled it There was nothing to
do but send the white elephant back
to the khedive. Conceive the mental
condition of an American woman Oblig-
ed to give up one-fifth of million dol
lars in diamonds! But, if you will be-
lieve me, she couldn get rid of them
even In this way. Back they came by
return mail or something of that sort,
with a letter from his Egyptian majes-
ty suggesting that the necklace be
taken apart and the diamonds divided
among General Sherman's four daugh-
ters, delicately insinuating that thus
the burden of taxation would not be SO
heavily felt. And that is how Mrs.
Thorndike happens to own one-fourth
of them.--Frank S. Arnett in Ainslee's

DEMOCRATIC REPRESENTATION
The Meaning of the Rule Followed BY
Chairman Greasy In Determining
Number of Delegates.

Harrisburg Starlndependent.
Whatever else the Philadelphia
Democrats may justly claim, their de-
mand for 60 seats in the next state
convention is absurd. Anybody with
an ounce of brains knows that the
representation must be based either
on the combined vote cast for Yerkes
and Coray on all tickets upon which
their names appeared, or else the
vote cast for them as the Democratic
candidates in the Democratic column.
There might be possibility of JUS
tifying an Interpretation of the law
in favor of taking the combined vote,
but there is no ground whatever for
claiming so delegates.
The language of the rule is clear
and unequivocal. "The representation
in Democratic state conventions shall
consist of representative delegates,
one for each 1000, or a majority frac-
ton of 1000 of the average vote cast
for the Democratic candidates for
state office at the last preceding state
election in the respective representa-
tive districts of the state; provided,
that each representative district shall
have at least one delegate" If the
language was less clear there might
be an excuse for differences of opin-
ion. If, for example, it read 'one for
each 1000, or majority fraction of
1000 votes cast for the candidates
nominated by the Democratic party"
there would be room for doubt But it
is plainly "the Democratic candi-
dates" impersonal, and the Demo
cratic candidates are those in the
Democratic column on the ticket.
Besides the intent of those who
made the rule in question, was that it
should produce the precise results that
have followed. That is, it was OBJ
served that once in four years the
Democrats of Philadelphia bumped
themselves, so to speak, and got out
fairly full vote in order to get big
representation in the state conven-
tions. During the intervening years
they didn't care whether the vote
came or not, the representation having
been fixed for time on basis that
secured them dominance in the con-
vention. The rule was presented for
the purpose of preventing such a
manifest injustice, and the fact was
distinctly stated while the measure
was pending in the state central com
mittee. 1t was pointed out that it
held out a reward for energy and
fidelity and imposed a penalty for
treachery and lethargy, and for that
reason 1t was adopted.
The lawyer upon whose opinion the
decision of Chairman Greasy is pre-
dicted is known throughout the state
and at the bar of the supreme court
of the United States as among the
most distinguished and capable law
yers in the United States. A Philadel-
phia lawyer is quoted in one of the
papers of that city this morning as
saying that the lawyer in question
was probably not broad-minded enough
to correctly interpret the rule If the
two names were mentioned together
the Philadelphia lawyer would "get
the laugh"
Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1902-03-10

A spirit of gambling has broken out
in the court of Italy, and the courtiers
are laying their wagers recklessly upon
the question as to whether the young
Princess Yolanda will speak first in
English or in Italian. The princess now
has reached the age of seven months
and already has made sounds which
are declared to be papa" and mann
ma" The English nurse declares that
she taught the child to say them, but the
italian nurse Indignantly denies this,
declaring that to her is due the credit,
for if the princess had learned from
the English nurse she would say the
words in English, whereas she says
them in Italian, the poor woman not
knowing that papa" and mamma"
are the same in all languages.
So as these words are universal it
has been decided that they do not de-
eide the wagers as to which will be
the first language to be spoken by little
Yolanda. The betting is even. for,
though the English nurse has the child
almost entirely under her care, the
language which she hears spoken
about her all the time is Italian. Large
sums have been wagered, and the de-
,ision Is awaited with much interest.
If Yolanda wants to make herself pop
ular, she had better lisp her first words
In Italian. There will be a mighty dis
gust throughout Italy should she de-
eide in favor of English.

The German city which we know by
its French name, Cologne, is in state
Of great excitement over the orthogra-
ply of its German name. Should it be
spelled with X or n C-"Koeln" or
"Coeln"
The municipal authorities recently
concluded that it was high time to set
tie the matter. In their own opinion
Koeln is the proper form, historically
correct and in accordance with the
genius Of the language" They deter
mined, however, to refer the matter to
the general government, and this
agreed with them. So far all was har-
mony and peace.
But when 1t came to confirming the
unanimous decision by an imperial
edict the imperial will had to be reck-

SOME QUEER SPIDERS.
An Odd Collection That Has Recently
Been Acquired by Harvard.

An interesting collection of New
England spiders mas recenta, been add
ed to the Museum Of Comparative 10
ology at Harvard, including altogether
344 distinct species. OF these no less
than ia are new to SCIENCE" and Mr..
j. II. Emerton, who made the collcc-
ton, believes that many others are yet
to be found, although New England
has been covered by the entomologists
more thoroughly in all probability than
any other part of the country. The
list of the larger species is probably
complete, but the smaller ones are so
difficult to collect that single new
specimen often remains for a long
time in class by itself.
The habits of some of these spiders
are curious and little known. One fam
lily represented in the Harvard collec.
ton do not make webs at all, but live
under stones and leaves. where they
build themselves nests like fattened
tubes. The grass spiders, whose webs
are visible on lawns and fields during
the early morning hours, are found all
over the United States. Their web
consists of fiat sheet connecting Sev
eral grass blades. On one side is a tube
where the spider usually hides himself
and by which he may escape If attack
ed. The web itself does not actually
catch other insects, but is simply a
platform, which offers them a danger
ously convenient stopping place, the
spider then depending upon his own
agility to seize them. Moreover, the
webs ordinarily seen are only Temporal
ry. The SPIDERS real home often a
foot or more wide, is built between
stones or shrubs.
Other spiders live on plants which
they closely resemble in color. One
common species makes n little tent in
the center of its web. Another hangs
by its feet at the approach of danger
and spins its body in little circle SO
rapidly that 1t becomes invisible.

Murphy & Co.'S Cotton Letter.

New York, June 11.-Weather crop
news again monopolized attention this
morning and prices further advanced
4Q5 points because of continued alb
sence of rain Every station so far
as heard from when the market opened
reported dry weather. Moreover, it
was known that the mercury early in
the day was lowering in the nineties
at certain points in Texas and as this
state naturally attracts great atten-
ton, the curse of the market was
shaped by the frequent reports from
Texas, while the trade is extremely
nervous and are disposed to support
the market, there is no wild scramble
to buy yet. On the contrary a very
conservative spirit prevails. since it
is conceded that rain is not yet abso-
lutely needed in most states. How
ever, ii is also conceded that the crop
is not doing so we'll because of the dry
weather, and the mere possibility of
deterioration has given bulls control
of the market until weather condi-
tions have changed. The market
ruled dull and kept within narrow
range otter the opening. The short
interest is claimed to be very large,
but it is evident that they are so far
from scared. Bull support was lack
ing to the extent expected to-day and
prices eased off a trifle after opening.
although the forecast was for no rain
in the Southwest. The bulk of all
theorizing there is anxiety to know
whence needed cotton is to come from
in October, regardless of brilliant crop
prospects.
