rhe worId,s Diamond Supply.

Amsterdam is the greatest of dia-
mond marts. Nearly all the rough
diamonds now taken there to be split.
cut and polished come from South AT
RIGA. The stones from Brazil. Guiana.
Australia and Borneo are relatively
few. II Is estimated that the South
African mines have added 100000
600 worth of diamonds to the worlds
supply. and since less than per cent
of them are lost or. destroyed in hun-
dred years 1t is evident that the gems
are accommodating rapidly. About g.
000 persons are engaged in the dla-
mond industry in Amsterdam, and
contrary to what might naturally he
supposed, 1t is not the cutters and
polishers whose skill is most priced.
but the splitters. AT least II is they
who receive the highest wages,
amounting for the best workmen to
$40 a week.
The Elbert County tribune., 1904-06-23

An incident which will be interest
ing to naturalists is told in a recent
number of the Scotsman. One of the
foresters in the employ of the Mar
quls of Lothian was returning from
his work when he noticed wild duck
flying from a larch tree. On close
examination he observed a common
brown owl looking down from what
appeared to be nest in the cleft of
the tree about thirty feet from the
ground and apparently near the place
from which the duck had flown. Curl
osity prompted him to climb TO the
place. which he did with great diff
Guilty. The owl on his approch flew
off. and to his surprise he found in
the nest two eggs-an owls and a
wild ducks. 1t is not uncommon for
both owls and ducks to build their
nests high up on trees, but 1t is I'M
heard of for one nest to be appro-
priated by both birds.-New York
Herald.

ToRTolses 500 YEARS OLD
Only Centuries Count In the Lives Of
These Creatures.

These Creatures.
That the large tortoise is capable
OF carrying a fair weight upon its
back was recently demonstrated on
the lawn Of. MIR. Carl Hagenback.
when several of his children apd
grandchildren conceived the novel
idea OF racing upon a number OF giant
tortoises which had recently been
brought home from the Seychelles
islands. The youngsters found the
tortOises very queer steeds. and to
entice them along dangled cabbagos
in front of them from the end OF small
sticks
The tortoises in question are over
500 years of age. and weigh from 200
to $50 pounds apiece. They entirely
live upon greenstuff and eat from
twenty pounds to thirty pounds day.
The Seychelles. from whence these
animals were obtained, is the home
of the giant tortoise. and less than If
ty years ago they might have been
found there in large numbers. To-
day, however, they are fairly scarce,
particularly the large species. which
are very valuable. The tortoise from
this part of the world are. without
question. the Oldest living creatures
upon the earth.

sNAILs FOND OF MUSIC.
French Nationalist Has Discovered
Their Peculiarly.

A German scientist recently pointed
out that snails are able to draw i'm

uralist claims that there are few, II
any. animals which have n higher ap-
probation of music than snails. This
naturalist is NJ. S. Jourdain. and his
Vows on the subject are expressed
at length in a paper which he has ad-
dressed to the French Biological So
ciety. Place some snails on a pone
of glass. he says, and you will find
that as they move over It they Will
make musical sounds similar to those
which n person can produce by wet
ting his fingers and then rubbing 1t
around glass tumbler. Complete airs.
he points out. have been played on
tumblers in this way. and he expresses
tho opinion that quite as good re-
suits can be obtained by using snails
instead OF fingers.

Prof. Loeb. in Berlin, is experiment
ing with the rattlesnake venom as a
cure for leprosy. and he thinks he has
hit upon the specific for one of the
most loathsome diseases that human
flesh is heir to. Should he succeed in
demonstrating that the snake poison
will cure this plague, rattlesnakes
would at once become commercially
valuable. The market value of the
poison Is about SIS per drachm. Prof.
Loeb gets his rattlesnake venom from
a man in Colorado. who keeps snakes
as pets.

SPENDING JAY eouLD's MONEY.
Countess de Casteliane the Best
Dressed Woman in Paris.


Whenever the Countess De Castel-
lane digs into the Gould fortune for
the purpose of entertaining she gives
Paris something to talk about. Her
most recent fete was as sumptuous
as those of the past. The duke and
duchess of Thurn and Taxis were the
guests of honor. and the countess
stood beside them on a raised plat
form banked with roses. The best So
ciety of Paris bowed before the
American hostess and her noble
guests and then retreated in wonder
ment to study the gown the countess
was wearing. Jay Gould's daughter
has become a past mistress of the art
of dressing and on this occasion her
frock was a marvel. 1t was pale yell
low chiffon velvet and the skirt was
covered with orchids deity embroid-
cred. These orchids were outlined in
gold threads and the color scheme
of mauve and yellow was unusual. 1t
is said ten women worked on the
countess gown day and night in order
to finish the embroidered flowers. The
bodice was trimmed with real orchids
and all the Castellane Jewels added
a further brilliant touch to the orchid
gesture.
