gems also, then the presumption is
strong that diamondiferous deposit
exists somewhere within the watershed
of both localities.
There is nothing improbable in the
finding of diamonds in paying guam
titles in the Territory. Some travellers
have noticed strong similarity be-
tween the topography and geologic al
formations of the Yukon valley and the
diamond-bearlng veldt of South Africa.
The diamondiferous soil in the latter is
found in the chimneys of extinct vol
canoes. Alaska is a volcanic country.
Most of it's volcanoes have been long
since dead: those still active are dying.
Diamonds and the matriX in which they
arc found are OF volcanic origin. Why
should not diamonds exist in Alaska as
we'll as in South Africa?
Prospectors in Alaska have so far con-
fined their search chiefly for gold. A
few have been interested in its coal and
copper deposits. Other minerals have
been neglected. And yet there may be
q store of greater wealth in some other
prospector for gold awaiting the miner
who is intelligent enough to understand
the signs leading to natures secrets
and profit by the knowledge. The dia-
monds discovered at Golofn Bay and in
the ruby sands of Cape Nome may be
of no direct commercial value. but they
may stimulate the miner to search the
country for their source, where de-
posit may exist to amply enrich him for
his labor and enterprise.

ARMENIAN CHARACTER.
he Has an Indestructible Tenacity Of
Faith in Himself,

If the Greek is characterized by his
intelligence, by his worship of plastic
beauty, and his dream of a harmonious
and noble life, the Armenian Is charac-
terzed by an indestructible open at
tachment to his traditions and national
beliefs, and by the worship of simple
and laborious life. The family among
Armenians has preserved the rigid
purity and the pious discipline of the
ancient patriorchal conditions. The
Armenian church is perhaps that one
among all the others which has best
preserved the simple spirit of the
church founded by Jesus. 1t is this pas
sion for simplicity which has some-
times brought the Armenian into OPP
position with the Byzantine spirit. de-
voted as this is to a complicated the
ology and to a luxurious and refined
art. The Armenians were the promot-
ers of the iconoclastic movement of
Byzantium, and there are yet some
Armenians who constitute the nucleus
of that modern sect Of Paulicians which
contains the germs of some of the prin-
ciples which later became the basis Of
the Protestant church. I have put it's
tenacious faith in itself at the head of
race, and, in fact, nothing else is so
strong with it as the attachment to it's
native soil and to its ethnic traditions,
and the resolve to defend these to the
death. The great Corneille, without
knowing it, paid compliment to the
race in choosing, to magnify Christian
heroisn, an Armenian figure. Poly
eucte. Against the Roman as against
the Persian, against the Arab as
against the Turk, the Armenian has
always shown the flrmness of Poly
eucte and his spirit of sacrifice. Quite
recently. during the massacres. when
the Turks tried to force the Armenians
under threats of death to embrace Is
lamism, the whole race manifested the
spirit of Polyeucte Hundreds of girls
threw themselves into the rivers and
over precipices to escape apostasy and
shame, and aged priests have been seen
who, with stoical courage, preferred to
be killed outright or roasted at slow
fire, rather than to renounce the faith
of their fathers.

DIAMONDS IN ALASKA.

The reported finding of number of
small diamonds on a tributary of Colo
fin Bay, forty miles east of Cape Nome,
suggests that Alaska may ultimately
become as famous as a diamond field as
it now Is as producer of the precious
metal. The first microscopical eXamin-
alton of the ruby sands of Cape Nome,
in which the auriferous deposits in that
district lie, was made by eX-State Min

object at all to dol9g the chamber

HOW BIRDS MIGRATE.

From, Woman's Home Companion,
Many of the smaller and weaker birds like the
hy.catchers, vircos, wrcIs, kinglets and blue
birds in order to avoid their enemies, the hawks
make their long flights by night stopping Tor
rest and food in the daytime. The larger and
boder ones, like the hawks and crows, and those
OF extremely rapid flight, like the swallows ana
h,mming birds, migrate fcarlessy by day,and
there are some, like the Canada geese, which
travel lust when they choose by day or night
Migrating birds usually fly at a height OF from
one to three miles, and this enables them to see
the rivers. the mountain ranges and the coast,
