BABY DAYS OF THE OYSTER.
Attaches Itself to Odd Objects Some
what After the Manner
of a Child.

The oyster is more interesting dur
ing babyhood, says Charles Frederick
Stansbury in Outing. Its manner of
making set suggests the blind conf
dence of childhood. 1t prefers to ad.
here to odd objects, and its childish
taste in this direction often encom-
passes its destruction. If an old boot,
a water-logged box, brick, lump
of coal or piece of discarded and frac-
tured crockery lies upon the bed of the
ocean where set is in progress, the
young oysters or eggs will cluster
thick and fast upon it, showing a very
decided preference as against the sur
rounding natural anchorage. l have
even seen pair of corsets, that could
never again hope to imprison the waist
of lovely woman, entirely covered with
set of young oysters. Thus does ma
ture pay tribute to art.
A favorite. foundation for life
adopted by sensible young oysters is
upon the shells of their ancestors long
since defunct, and for this reason many
planters strew the bottom of their
holdings with such CLUTCH" in the
hope that the wandering ova will STOP
and there adopt local habita ton.

In the habeas corpus proceeding flee
by Oscar Lewis, the supreme court held
that the subsequent marriage of a de-

bar to prosecution under the laws
relating to criminal assault. Lewis
was arrested charged with running
Nellie Meador. She was under age at
that time. In November, 1902, Lewis
married the girl and asked his dis
charge from custody on the ground
that such marriage was a complete bar
to prosecution. The state claimed that
the defendant abandoned his wife
on the morning after the marriage.
The court remanded Lewis to the
custody of officers for trial.

Not SUFFICIENT Ground.

In the case of Mrs. A. G. Martin vs..
]. W. Stewart, from Sedgwick county.
the supreme court held that the pro-
bate court is withouteauthority to ap'
point a guardian of person and estate
of an adult unless such person has been
duly adjudged to be an idiot, person
of unsound mind, or an habitual
drunkard and incapable of managing
his affairs. A guardian was appointed
for Mrs. Martin because she was in
feeble health and incapable of attend
ing to business matters of any kind.
This was not a sufficient ground for
pthe appointment of guardian, so the
court held.

KEPT HIS EYES OPEN.
beFley Makes q Valuable
Discovery.

When the negro laborers descend
INTO the diamond mines at Kimberley,
hey hew out the hard diamontiferous
.arth and put IT in wooden tubs which
Ire hauled on stout wires to the sur
face, where the earth is spread over the
ground to undergo for several months
.he softening influences of heat and
.old. When it is soft enough it is show
[.led into the washing machines, where
he dirt is separated from the rough
diamonds and other large mineral sub
stances. The mixture of minerals re-
naming is known as concentrates.
1t was necessary until recently to go
rery carefully over the concentrates
to pick out the garnets and many other
foreign substances until nothing re-
manned but the rough diamonds This
IS a slow and laborious operation, but
has been an essential part of the
mining industry until It was super
.eded by a discovery made awhile ago.
Among the employees in the sorting
room was Fred Kersten, q bright
young fellow, who quietly went to
work to try to discover a way to sep
arate the diamonds from other stones
more quickly and easily than could be
lone by the slow process of hand pick
ng. He told no one of the problem
ae was working at, but kept on with
his experiments, not a whit discour-
aged by his many failures, to find an
efficient process.
One day, by the merest accident, he
made the discovery he was after. a
rough diamond and a garnet happened
to be lying on a small board on the
bench where he was working. He hap
,ened to pick up one end of the board.
when the garnet slipped off, but the
diamond remained
This was a phenomenon worth in
Testiga ting. Kersten found that there
VAS a coating of grease on the board
which had retained the diamond, while
the garnet slipped off.
He procured a wider board, coated
one side of it with grease and dumped
\ few handfuls of concentrates on ii.
Then he found that by holding the
board in a slightly inclined position
ind vibrating it, all the concentrate s
except the diamonds moved to the
over end and fell off, while the dia-
monds remained in place.
Then he invented a machine by
which his discovery might be utilized
One part of his machine was a slightly
inclined table coated with grease and
vibrating when the machine was in
motion. Another part was a sort of
hopper through which the concen-
trates, with a small current Of water,
passed to the surface of the vibrating
table. Considerable study was :. re-
auireds to perfect the apparatus, but
at last the machine was completed and
the big diamond men were invited to
witness the new method of separating
diamonds from the rest of. the con-
eentrates.
The invention was an entire success.
All the garnets and other minerals that
are not wanted pass over the surface
Of the table while every diamond,
large or small, is retained. A more
simple and complete device for saving
time, labor and loss of diamonds could
not be invented. The entire work is
now done by machinery, hand picking
has been wholly superseded, and both
ihe young inventor and the owners of
the diamond mines are profting by the
new labor saving device.

On account of the complications

of the law. An instance of the trouble
which may be caused was shown in the

secured a divorce. She died the night

came absolute. Johnson sued to re-
