Myers has been only & few days on duty, after rather protrac cted illness, while Mccarthy and Phelan have already been examined, but for some reason which the board apparent 1y does not deem fit to inform the pub lie, think it best to examine them again.

 "Would it have been possible for you to have made the advance you have made had you remained in Great Brit ain or Ireland?'
 T doubt it. although there are many examples of self-made men in Great Britain. There was Sir William Allen, who died lately. He was born of hum ble Scotch parents. As he was wont to say, the world has been my chief was one of the greatest of modern en- gineers. For years he followed our civ il war he was engaged in that capacity educator, and men my books. He on a southen blockade runner was cap tured and imprisoned, afterward re- leased, and won knighthood for his service to his country's marine.
 But the class distinctions on the other side are great hindrance to the ambitious poor. Had I remained in Ireland and have carried out my ear- Her intentions to become a machinist, I probably would have died a humble mechanic, content to bring up my fami- ly in the same sphere of life, and have trained my son to follow in my foot steps.

 You were a trade unionist early in life?"
 Yes, and I am now in theory. When I was an upholsterer we had our union, and when strike was ordered as it was on one occasion, I went out with the men. and I never went back to that shop I sought work elsewhere and obtained it. Our union had its balls and picnics, and we supported it by our own funds. We did not go out into the public and importune people to buy tickets to help us along. We took pride in our independence and self reliance"

blue earth in the South African mines is not iron.
 A fresh piece of evidence which dis poses of the latter objection has now been adduced. pr. George F. Kunz mentions it in report on precious stones printed by the United States Geological Survey. It has now been demonstrated that carbon can be dis solved in melted silicates and after ward crytalIized. Experiments have been conducted separately by Hass- finger, Ludwig, Luze and Friedlander. In some instances the product as graphite. In others. diamonds which were exceedingly small. but were genu- inc, resulted.
 Dr. Kunz mentions another circum- stance which may have a bearing on this question. In. a. report on Brazil ian diamonds the United States. consul at Bahia, Mir. H. w. Furniss, says that these stones are occasionally found in pieces of granite, or gneiss, that are badly disintegrated. The statement needs confirmation, but if it, be fully established the geologists will need to explain how the diamonds came to be thSie- Ctlli, IL QOeS not LOOK dS II the now discredited meteoric theory would gain any support from the alleged dis eovery. How thoroughly the volcanic hypothesis is accepted in Canada is il- lustrated by discussion which is pending there. The few. diamonds found ill tn northern part of the Uni ted States and in the Dominion were apparently brought thither by glacial gravel from some spot in higher lati- tudes. One set of geologists suspect that they may have come from a re- gain east of Hudson bay, while others fancy they did not travel so far. But they all agree in pointing to localities where there have been volcanic untru- sions through shale.-From the London 1 Globe.

ALL BLACK NOT WORN.

Widows and Elderly Woman Alone Allowed That Privilege.
 No one can tell exactly why all black
 gowns have fallen from high favor.
 It is well known among designers that they have. Only those in mourning and those too elderly to wear colors choose all black. Even the latter find that
 white must be introduced to give tone to the gown.
 The woman who jumps to the con- clusion that black gown, elaborately 1 trimmed with blue, pink or green is in good taste, is mistaken. For while all black is not worn, white is the only allowable contrast used with it, except the merest touch of color in the wrist, lrutfles and at the neck. Strange to say, thin black gowrfs are not worn over color. as one supposed they would be when all black was sidetracked. Black over pale gray or deep cream is worn,
 but it is not considered as elegant as
 black over black, with the white intro- duced at wrist and neck.
 Black tailor gowns have passed en- | tirely out. Those who wish subdued NHlVio EEl NliC EtdJ dflu 0idCh ililAlutt but those who are not partial to gloom find thousand pieces of suiting which have little ribbons of color running in and out of the weaves.
 This kind Of suiting promises to be more in favor next fall than just now. The color in it is vague; run in just enough to relieve the heaviness of the material.
 Unless there is some special reason for it, therefore, do not choose an all- black gown.
 It is odd that with this mandate comes the one that black and white, woven together, is to be the fabric for those who wish to dress in good taste. The weavers have used every device in this combination of colors, and have put it into materials that heretofore were left in one tone.
 The best Of the new tailor gowns, til next fall, are in Scotch homespun
 with a blackish gray surface on which is worked out bold designs in black. Not figures, of course, but heavy splashes and lattice work, and heroic square made up of gray and black lines that have no regular outline.
 As Worth has given his mark of fav- or to this fabric it is probably that the exclusives will wear it this summer. The designers will make all these fab- rics more becoming by trimming them with touches of color. Heavy linens and ducks and thin cloths, in all colors, are used on these new black and white fabrics. not generously, but just enough to suggest brilliancy--From the Phila- delphia. Press.

JADE AS MEDICINE.

Everything in China of any rarity into the pharmacopoeia to the rule. It
 may be swallowed as a powder, or in little pieces the size of hemp seed, for various stomachic complaints; even
 pookmarks and scars may be oblitera- ted by being daily rubbed with piece of pure jade It is also considered to be of very moist nature, and we read of an imperial favorite of the eighth cen- tury who was cured of excessive thirst by holding a fish shaped jade in her mouth. And so when the tomb of the great commander, Ts'ao Ts'ao, third century A. D., was opened two hundred years after his death, among the usual objects found in such circumstances was a large silver bowl full of water. That the water had not dried up was accounted for by the presence in the bowl of a jade boy three feet in height. Jade is chiefly brought from the K'un-lun, or Koukun, range, between the Desert of Gobi and Thibet; from Khoten or Ilehi in Yarkand, and from 1 Lan-t'ien on the Belurtagh Mountains
 still further to the west This Lah- t'ien has been confused by Chinese wri- ters with another Lan-tien, in the Pro- vince of Shen-Se. near the city of Hsi- an whither the Chinese court fled in August 1900 upon the relief of Picking.
 In the tenth century, A. D., the latter was actually known as the Jade Hills district, though it does not appear that any jade has ever been found there.-

ORIGIN OF DIAMONDS.
Some New Evidence of the Volcanic
 Hypothesis.

1 Some New Evidence of the Volcanic Hypothesis.
 | Over few scientific questions has there been a more animated discussion | in the last few years than that involv- l ing the manner in which the rarest and
 most costly of all jewels originated. Until about a quarter of a century ago, says an American paper, most of the diamonds that were discovered | were picked up in gravel at such dis
 tances from the place of their birth that no satisfactory clues could be ob- tained. Even after the wonderful de-
 posits in South Africa became known the mystery was not fully solved. The stones were embedded in peculiar blue dirt, or soft rock, which filled crevices or pipes iI the crust of the earth.
 Such a position was suggestive of volcanic action, the more so because there are many other places in the world where there have been intrusions from below. Practically all of the lat ter, though were of lava or lava-like material, or else quartz. Some of the gold obtained in America is mined in similar veins. But the substance with which the South African diamonds were associated was neither lava nor quartz. Hence their position and en-
 vironment were not conclusive enough to allay all doubt. Moreover the fact that in a very few meteors minute dia- Je |, faA picion that their bigger and more beau- tiful relatives had also reached the earth from outer space. The meteoric hypothesis was beset with greater diff faculties than the volcanic theory, per- haps, but it exercised a strange fas- cination on the popular fancy and even, apepaled to the judgment of few min- eralogists.
 Moisson's experiments threw little light on the process of production but did not settle the question oB origin. When sugar has been dissolved in wa ter it can be induced to crystalline around bit of string that is suspended in the solution.s The first great difii- culty to be overcome in initiating this procedure with carbon, which is the most refractory of all elements, was to, induce it to melt. Only after the electric furnace was brought to bear, and pressure as well as heat had been aplied could the H'renchman obtain crystals. The skeptics felt that this brilliant achievement did not clear up the main point involved in the dis pute They said: "Yes, it is evident that carbon can be dissolved in iron; but we knew that before. The pres-. ence of those microscopic crystals in fmetallic meteors proves it. But the
