a The Eight Largest Diamonds.

The eight largest diamonds in the
world are what are known as crown
jewels Some of them are in an I'M
cut state and others are carefully cut
and finished, so that there is wide
difference in their value. The Kohl
moor, the smallest in weight, has been
thus reduced by cutting and is much
the most valuable of the lot and has
been estimated at less than $500, 600.
The list is as follows. The Braganza,
part of the Portugal Jewels, weighs
1,Sso carats; Kohinoor, belonging TO
the English crown 10S carats: Star of
Brazil, 125 carats; Regent of France.

a group of juniors to marry just as soon
as they could afford it. Then he went

One could surely find no worse
ground to build upon than a bed OF
sponges such. as we use for the bath.
And yet London has for its subsoil
only sponges. although we call them
flints. Once they grew as sponges do
now in salt water shadows, and they
are found in layers petrified among
the chalk of southern England. The
Thames valley chalk has been melted
like so much sugar and carried away
with the running waters. but the fints
have been left behind. and on these the
whole city of London has found its
excellent foundations.

Some animals have wonderful powers
of imitation. Dogs brought up in the
company of cats have been known TO
acquire the trick Of licking the paws
and then washing the face. When a
cat has been taught to sit up for food
her kittens have been known to imi-

that was In the habit Of putting her
paw into the mouth Of narrow milk
