TONS OF DIAMONDS.

It is estimated that the total world production of diamonds up to date ap- proimates S5 million carats. As we are not in the habit of weighing our dia- monds by the ton, we are in some doubt concerning the proper system of computation, whether troy or avoirdu- pois, long ton or short ton. According to the system used by those who do weigh their diamonds in ton quanti- ties, the result would be in the neigh borhood of twenty or twenty-five tons of sparklers now appearing as factors in the joys and miseries of world which has substituted diamonds for the beads and the wampum of its an- cestors.
 The regions contributing to this sup ply and the percentage of their con- tribution appear as follows: South Africa, S1.5 per cent; Brazil, IS per cent; and the remaining per cent undivided among Borneo, India,' New South Wales and British Guiana, with North America and Russia supplying specimens. The last two of these coun- tries having furnished just about enough to equip an opera box for a single evening. The deep obligation of society to South Africa is fully appar-

PRECIOUS STONES IN THIS couN.
 TRY.

'It is little strange" said Irving L. Russell, that the United States, so far ahead in national resources of every other part of the globe in all essential things, should be so deficient as producer of precious stones. ] am of the opinion that there will be a big discovery some day of the most valued gems, probably in some out of the way corner of the land.
 "I do not mean to intimate that we are exactly destitute of fine stones, but that those found are mostly of in- ferior quality as compared with the output fthe old mines In North Carolina good many emeralds and rubies and sapphires are to be had, but they are not of sufficient value to warrant cutting. Some very fine pearls have been taken out of the shells picked up in the streams of Arkansas, and at one time the search for them down there amounted to a craze. Pearls, by the way, have gone up in price from 200 to 300 per cent in recent years.
 "A great many semi-precious stones are mined in California, the turquoise found out there being especially beau- tiful. but lacking in hardness. Tour malines also come from California in ahundance.-Washington Post

hour. Later when I stood by the side of the motorneer. or with the brake man at the rear, the sensation was far
 more vivid.
 Standing just behind the motor wheel in the front of the car, one is far near
 CT the track than he when in a steam engine; and the frightful rate at which the track is being deyoured is more evident. The impact of flies. bees and
 even birds upon the curved glass front ! glass of the car serves to heighten the
 effect. I must confess that held my
 breath as I saw the curve come in
 sight. Apparently the track ended and
 the car seemed directed straight into | the air at a speed sufficient to send it
 flying over into the German ocean. As | it glided smoothly around the curve
 the sensation was something like that which one has in an express elevator | in one of our American sky-scrapers when he is dropped from the fifteenth floor, and is not quite sure whether he will stop at the basement or go straight through to Chiha.-Henry s. Pritchett

You breathe this atmosphere and feel the | influence The effect will be to lower the love of your religious life. Why does the Bible say, Be not unequally yoked together with unbelievers 2" Why does God say, Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly?' and why does he say.

FOLLOWED SHAW'S ADVICE.

Republican prosperity and accom-
panying high prices that Secretary
Shaw thinks are so prevelant and that
he says are the result of Republican
policies have had disastrous effect
in Iowa When business is good and
the people are prosperous it would
naturally be expected that the banks
would participate in the prosperity
but in Iowa it seems to be the reverse.
Seven bankers have taken their lives
in that State during the past seven
months and all of their banks have
been found, upon examination, to be
hoplessly insolvent. A press report
from Sioux City, published in the
Washington Times. enumerates the
gruesome list:
The dispatch adds that five OF
these bankers ''blew out their brains
and two committed suicide by drown
ing" In every case the men have been
esteemed among the mos reliable and
honorable citizens in their community
and the unfortunate bank officer had
been driven to take his own life
after long and hopeless struggle to
save his institution and restore his
credit.
The loss to the stockholders and
depositors of these banks must have
fn1y fhof
all the banks have been found, upon
examination, to be hopelessly insol
vent"
Yet, Secretary Shaw prates Of pros
perity and points to present high
prices as sure indication of it.
Now Shaw, before he became Sec
rotary Of the Treasury, was a small
banker and being acquainted all ovel
the State of Iowa he must have known
the condition of the banks and thei
unsoundness 1t was known in Wal
Street, it was known by Dun an.
Bradstreet, but Shaw evidently did no
know what was going on, or if h.
did feared to hurt the party by warn
ing the poor deluded Victims, the
farmers and business men of Iowa
of what might be expected. The Sec
rotary of the Treasury is supposed Il
be the Waterman on the tower G
