WHAT A COOL SUMMER DOES.
Ill Effects TO the Entire Business Conn
mnnfty, Farmers Inciuded--keeps
= Money from Circulating.

A well known business man says that
the ordinary observer did not stop tG
consider what cool summer meant tc
the entire business community, accord
ing to the Philadelphia Record. Said he:
at affects everything that depends upon
trade for life. | have no doubt that the
present slump in stocks is due in part
to the cool summer, which has made the
crops so uncertain. Let us start with the
farmer. He has had poor luck with his
corn, melons and all kinds of truck. The
merchants who sell summer clothing
and all kinds of seasonable wear have
hardly paid expenses; every seashore re-
sort has been running light. This means
so much money lost from circulation
and all the mechanical trades and in
dustries must suffer. OF course, no one
is to blame, and the only thing to do is
to live and let live until real hot sum-
mer comes to push things along again.

NO MORE BLACK DIAMONDS.
supply StiH Exists, But Electrically
manufactured Article Has I'm
sireIy Replaced Them.

The trade in carbonate, or Brazilian
black diamonds, which. so late as five
years ago, was worth nearly $4,OO0,0 900
a year, is at present practically dead.
These stones, first discovered in l843,
are a kind Of black, Opaque and imper-
fectly crystallized diamond, found only
in Brazil They are less dense than
the white diamond, but actually harder,
and were found OF immense value for
mounting in the steel crowns Of rock
boring drills
1t was the electric furnace. worked by
the tremendous water power Of Niagara,
which put an end to the carbonate trade
says Stray Stories. A mixture of sand
coke, sawdust and salt melted together
in this amazing heat resulted in the
formation Of masses Of beautiful crys-
tails, ranging from blood-red to pale
blue
These have been named carborun-
fum. They are almost as hard as the
diamond, and indestructible in acids to
which the diamond yields. They cost
less than a quarter Of carbonate, and so
have displaced it.

RECORD-BREAKING RUN.
Engineer Was offered Fifty Dollars
Minute for Every Minute Gained
Over the Schedule.

There is little story connected with
the record-breaking run OF the Lowe
special over the Santa Fe, Chicago to
Los Angeles, in less than So hours,
which is not generally known.
1t is related that Mr.. Lowe offered
the engineer who hauled the train from
San Bernardino to Los Angeles-on the
home-stretch of 90 miles-the sum of
$50 minute for every minute gained
over the schedule. Engineer Warboy
turned the wheels at 50-second clip for
each mile to Pasadena, but had to slow
down in the suburbs of Los Angeles. He
pulled into La Grande station, Los An
geles, just 81 minutes after leaving San
Bernardino, gaining nine minutes on the
whirlwind schedule and thereby earn
ing $3.50 extra pin money.
The Santa Fe passenger department
will soon publish a pamphlet giving full
details of the swift flight of the Lowe
special which in several instances ex-
ceeded 80 miles an hour. An average OF
nearly 43 miles 40 hour was maintained,
in the face OF having to cross four high
ranges of the Rockies, and with little
previous selection of engines or crews

There is not foreign government
which does not permit its crack bands
to take concert engagements and go on
tours" said Lieut. Santelman. Many Of
the famous bands of the world have
visited America and have been received
with ovations by our people, but when
ever have desired to play an engagement
in or outside of Washington have been
met with a storm of protest from local
musicians unions. Why do not the
unions object to foreign bands that come
over here and play long engagements?
They do not But they object to our or
ganization, though we are the repre-
sentatives of the United States govern
ment, carrying the flag of our country
with us in the best sense"
Some time ago the musicians Of the
Marine band applied for membership in
the local musicians union. Their APP
plications, fees, etc, were returned to
them without any explanation. 1t ap-
pears that the Federation of Musicians
has clause in its bylaws which forbids
members to play with any enlisted man
of the United States army or navy.
