THE FIGHTING AFGHAN.
WarliI6e Instincts Have Always
Prompted Him to Look for
Further COnquests.

The Afghan is essentially a fighting
man, says the London Times, and,
though the army which Abdurrahman
created has, in the main, so far made
for peace by securing the internal tran
quillity of Afghanistan, even the old
ameer discovered in the latter part of
his reign not only that it was necessary
to keep it occupied but that it was not
easy to find suitable occupation for it
The discipline of a standing army in
such a country as Afghanistan is apt to
get lax in the idle times of peace. In
der an oriental military despotism the
army exists for active fighting and all
IT'S instincts rebel against long periods
of inaction. 1t wants the excitement
and, above all, the opportunities of in
diYidual ACKNOWLEDGEMENT and enrich
ment which active service alone fur
nishes. For a long time Abdurrahman
kept his army fairly well occupied in
putting down all his own rivals and sub
jugating the tribes whose loyalty he
had cause to suspect. When that was
accomplished Kafirstan, with it's
pagan" tribes, offered another outlet
for the martial energies of the Afghan
Mussumans.
But in proportion as the successive
delimitations of boundaries and spheres
of influence have diminished the area of
doubtful ownership within which the
military appetite of the Afghan COM
manders could be gratified without any
serious risk of external complications,
the task of providing occupation for the
Afghan army has become more and
more difficult and with the maintenance
of internal peace that difficulty must so
on increasing.
The sops which Habibullah has from
time to time thrown to his army in the
shape of increased pay and improved ra-
tions show that he himself is alive TO the
difficulty, but measures of that kind can
hardly be regarded as more than tenn
porary makeshifts. One is bound to
bear in mind in this connection that the
fighting instincts of the Afghan have al
ways prompted him in the past to look
toward the south rather than the north.
The plains Of India, which his fathers
repesNedly ransacked, are still to him
the legendary land of conquest and
booty and if once he came to believe
that the English were powerless to ar
rest the forces of Russian gravitation, |
he might well be tempted by prospect
of such stakes as Russia would spread
before him to exchange a losing for a
winning partner.

NEW DIAMOND CUTTING.
E'Txventfeth Century, Method In
creases BriIIiancy Of Gems
Fully 100 Per Cent.

The most important news in a quarter
of a century for all lovers of diamonds
is the announcement of the marvellous
new twentieth century cutting" The
new method of preparing diamonds, it
is confidently predicted by many experts,
will revolutiOniZe the diamond trade,
says the New York Herald The discov-
cry makes it possible to increase the
brilliancy of diamonds, size for size,
fully 100 per cent. 1t makes stones ap-
pear much larger than after any other
cutting, and renders them equally bril-
liant viewed from any angle Despite
an immense amount of experimenting
by diamond experts the world over, no
effective cutting had been discovered
since 1875, when the present brilliant
form was introduced. The twentieth
century cutting is the discovery of
Daniel G. Townsend, New York dia-
mond expert.
The average layman in diamond mat
teTs can have no conception of the diff
culties involved in such work 1t was
necessary not only to be perfectly ia
miliar with the properties of diamonds,
but to have an expert knowledge of the
laws of optics, besides practical work
ing knowledge of the diamond cutters
trade. Every phase of the work was
extremely expensive. After a cutting
had been devised and each facet had
been designed with its relation TO every
other facet, the cutting was first exc
cuted in glass. Only the most expert
cutters could be intrusted with the
work After the glass model had been
completed the cutting would be tried on
an actual diamond It was necessary to
use a fairly large diamond in order to
test properly the work. The stones used
for these experiments-and there were
many Of them-were worth about 81 900
each.

Modern Athletic Training.

The trainer of a generation ago would
simply have stood aghast at the sweets
and other savory foodstuffs eaten by
your modern rowing or running col
Iegian Yet it may be doubted if the
physique either of the individual athlete
or of the nation ever stood at higher
general standard of fitness" One per-
tinent fact with regard to training is
that both past tradition and present
practice condemn with emphatic voice
the use of tobacco and alcohol and other
indulgences to which healthy man
wonderful animal that he ISIS unhap-
PLY prone. So long as the main princi-
pies of temperance, plain living and
abundant exercise are carefully applied
to the man in training, so long will the
results be likely to succeed. Every hui
man being living under reasonably
good conditions of environment ought
to be, like the healthy sehoolboy, al
ways in a state of training. Medical

BIGGEST GORILLA YET KILLED.
German Traveller shoots Gigantic
Specimen in the WiIds of
West Africa.

There has just been placed on exhibi-
ton in the Umlauff Museum at Hamburg
the biggest known specimen of gorilla
1t was shot in the CAMERON territory in
West Africa, reports London paper
After much difficulty it was removed to
Hamburg, stuffed. mounted and placed
on exhibition. 1t measured feet 10A
inches from the crown of his head to the
middle toe, and across, from middle fin
ger to middle finger, 9 feet 334 inches
It was largely a matter of chance that
the commercial traveller, Herr Paschen
of Schwerin, shot this gigantic gorilla.
When the natives came to the agency
at CAMERON with stories of the big
monkey Herr Paschen did not take
much stock in their yarns, but when the
native troops started out on hunt for
the gorilla the German traveller took his
earbine and went along. After some
hours travel they came to the patch OF
bush where the gorilla was supposed to
be hiding. The natives surrounded the
bush and suddenly the beasts head ap-
peared- Herr Paschen made a path
through the bush with his bush knife,
and when within range took aim and
fred
1t was lucky shot, for the beast at
once fell with bullet through his head
He fell with a crash and was instantly
dead. 1t was not an easy matter to re-
move the gorilla to the coast and thence
TO Hamburg, but there it is now, almost
lifelike in appearance. so carefully was
the mounting and stuff1ng done. Along
side iS the oipauffo cIrolafon Ciu1o H.,
gorilla was placed on exhibition the
crowds at the museum have been enor-
nous. and the comments upon its re-
markable resemblance to the human
