HIGH COST OF DIAMONDS.


One of the notable effects of the work in South
Africa of the late Cecil Rhodes has been the pract
cal doubling of the price Of diamonds in the past 20
years.
The diamond mines of Kimberly, in South Africa
were first worked in 1871. The mines were at first
owned and worked by number of different COM
panies. In 1888 the production of diamonds in the
Kimberly district amounted to 24l3953 carats, yield
ing e1 2s Sd per carat 1t was about this time that
Cecil Rhodes conceived the idea of consolidating the
various diamond mines in the Kimberly district In
1888 the amalgamaton was practically completed,
and since that year the De Beer Consolidated Mines
has controlled the diamond output of the world
The most striking result of the amalgamation has
been the practical doubling of the price of diamonds
The output of diamonds has shown practically no
increase during the last 20 years The output in
1888 was 2,413,953 carats while the production in
1903 was only 100000 carats By restricting the
production the De Beers syndicate has succeeded in
greatly increasing the price of diamonds The av.
erage price per carat received by the company last
year was e. As, against f1 2s in 1888

the Garden of Eden was located

inclosing a letter which he re-
Gently received from constitu-
ent at Oswego, in which the
claim is set forth that Noah
launched his ark at some point
in the Mississippi valley. We
quote from the Oswego mans
letter as follows:
Dear Mr.. congressman
would like for you to secure an
appropriation next session of
Congress for archaeological dis
coveries in the state of Mississip-
pi to determine if the mound
builders were not the antedilu-
vians, which | believe for the
following reasons:
Pour water on the rim of q
fly wheel and it will run inverse
ly as the square of the motion of
wheel. That is just what Noah's
ark did-hoated west with the
current, which was 122 miles per
day on the thirty-fifth principal
meridian. 1t grounded on the
meridian and was built east on
the same. That it foated due
west is evident because the flood
would have obliterated all air
and water currents, except slight
ocean currents from the equator.
One would offset the other 122
miles per day, less the friction Of

A Worthy Shepherd Of Souls.

The disaster to the steamship
General Slocum is still fresh in
the minds of the public. In that
disaster more than a thousand
people persisted, most of them
belonging to one church in New
York City. The pastor of the
church was among the drowned.
Among many other evidences of
sympathy shown by the world at
large is the act of Rev. K. p.
Pfatteicher of Norristown, Pa.
Rev. Mr.. Pfatteicher was grant
ed vacation of one month by
his congregation. Instead of
seeking some cool retreat in the
mountains, or inhaling the fresh
salt breezes of the ocean, he
went to New York and is spend
ing his vacation in miG~ tering
to the spiritual wants of the
stricken parish. The Philadel-
phia Press well says that "the
man who elects to spend the
weeks given to him for rest in
the hot and toilsome labor of
visiting among the people in a
crowded New York district is
worthy to be a shepherd OF
souls. THE Commoner.
