DIAMONDS FROM THe SKIES.
Theory that Precious stones Came to
Earth as Meteorites,

Theory that Precious Stones Came to
Earth as Meteorites.
Diamonds from the skies, conveyed
to earth In meteoric showers, is the
DRY first preached by Meydenhauer.
The diamond, he says, can be Of cos
mic origin only, having fallen as a
meteorlte at a late period of the earth's
formation. The localities where dia-
monds are found contain the residues
of not very compact meteoric masses
which may have fallen in historic ages
and penetrated more or less deeply ac-
cording to the more or less resistent
character of the surface where they
fell.
The most striking confirmation of
the theory comes from Arizona. Here
on broad plain over an area about
five miles in diameter were scattered
900 to 1000 masses of metallic iron,
the fragments weighing from half a
ton to a fraction Of an ounce. There is
little doubt these masses formed part
Of meteoric shower. although no rec
ord exists as to when the fall took
place. Curlously enough. near the cen
ter where most of the meteorltes have

they were shown to seats well toward

The retirement of Judge H. g. Cald-

public life of one of the last of the
"Keosauqua colony" famous, at least, in
the West. The little town of Keosauqua,
numbering at its last census scarcely
1900 people, has, however, furnished
to the United States two United States
district judges, one United States circuit
judge, one United States supreme Judge,
three United States Senators, two menu
bers of Congress, one nominee for Gov
ernor, three millionaires, two of them
having colossal fortunes, one Attorney
General Of Iowa, one Secretary of State
Of Iowa, and one member of the presi-
Dental cabinet. Among these men are
Senator w. A. CLARK of Montana, the
late A. g. Davis of Montana, Judge
Caldwell, United States Senator George
g. Wright, United States Senator j. B.
Howell, Judge George w. McCrary, Sec
rotary of War under President Hayes,
and John F. Dillon, the renowned attor-
