WlooINo GERMAN PRINCES.
Kaiser Tells Offspring Never to For
get That They Are Hohen-
zollerns.

Princes will be princes, 1t seems,
and there have been times when the
kaiser has had to talk like father to
his offspring. There is delicious
story of one wigging which he admin
istered to them which the court is still
chuckling over. says the Chicago
Journal.
Never forget" he said solemnly, as
they stood to attention before him,
that you are Hohenzollerns and sons
OF the kaiser of Germany. But you, y
he added, turning upon one who shall
not be partlcularized, you remember
that | have my eye on you" In per-
son the kaiser is florid man of bare
ly middle height, with a full face,
iieshy neck, and noticeable general
plumpness. On foot, especially when
in one of his two score uniforms, he is
less regal than engaging; on horse
back he is quite fine figure of man.
Although his horses are specially
broken and trained for his use, he has
good working seat in the saddle. To
see him go past saluting base at the
rocking-chair canter the German cav
airy affects is to see a good type of a
military-looking man; he could pass
in crowd for well-to-do major
without ambitions. In spite Of his
growing stoutness he takes good
deal of exercise. In particular he
shoots, and he issues to the chase
with not much less circumstance than
the duke in Browning's Flight of the
Duchess"

TEMPTATION TO INVENTOR
Artificial Diamonds Are Occupying
the Attention of Many French
Investigators.

The reward of the inventor who can
produce artificial diamonds is so
tempting that the Moisson experiments
with the electric furnace, which were
inaugurated some eight or ten years
ago have been continued until the
present day. They are now being car
ried on in the laboratory Of the sor-
bonne. in Paris. with ever-increasing
success. The first diamonds made by
the electric furnace were Of micros-
copic size and few in number, In fact,
they were so minute and uncommon
that 1t took a great deal of repeated
experimenting TO secure enough speci-
mems to demonstrate beyond doubt
that the brilliant crystals were actual
ly diamonds. AS the work continued
various notifications were worked
out, as the experience of the investi-
gators became greater, until now sue
cess seems imminent, The crystals
are positively known to partake of all
the characteristics OF the diamond in
crystalline structure, hardness and
chemical composition, as demonstrated
by combustion experiments The lar
gest crystal yet obtained is only one
half millimeter in length, and, while
this is only a spark, 1t indicates that
the process is capable of yielding dla-
monds Of good quality, and that some
day in the not distant future the lab
oratory process of Mother Nature, as
exemplifed in The Rand, may be DIP
plicated in mans laboratory and in a
commercial way.

BLACKS MORE coNsUMPTIvE
Increase Of Disease Among Negroes
Since Emancipation Is Be-
coming Noticeable.

According TO DR., Thomas ]. Mays,
Of Philadelphia, pulmonary consump-
ton was comparatively unknown
among the plantation slaves Of the
south before the war. while In the
large cities of the south it was no
more prevalent among them than 1t
was among the whites, In Charleston,
S. c., the negro death rate Of con-
sumption in 1860 was the same as
among the whites-yiE. LIS; In 1876.

Powell this disease increased 705 per
cent. among these people from 1870 to
1890 in Georgia. The same is true OF
North Carolina. for DR.. ]. F. Miller,
superintendent OF the eastern insane
hospital OF that state, declares that
from 1855 to 1896 insanity increased
256 per cent among the colored people
in that state The conclusion OF DR.,

HIGH TRAINING NOT HEALTH
Athletics Beneficial Only When APP
piled Properly and Judicious-
ly, Says Physician.

After an exhaustive examination OF
the case for and against athletics. DR..
Robert f. Coughlin. OF Brooklyn. N. Y.
comes TO the following conclusions:
The prime object in athletics is i'm
proyement of the general health. Each
writer has said that health, like happi-
ness. does not exist. Each has goal
or limit which. while seemingly attain
able. eludes perfect possession. The
body consists Of number OF mechan-
isms which have the closest and most
exact relations. and as they approximate
10 harmony there is health. but when
1isordered there is Ill health To OBJ
tain good health muscle building is not
a necessity. One cannot judge of a per-
sons health by the size and hardness OF
the muscles. We have seen that the
converse may be true. To obtain health
one must not be in perfectly trained
condition. owing to the effects OF severe
training on the nervous system. There
is no evidence to prove that athletics
and muscle building improve the con-
stitution. One should always keep in
mind the fact that bullt-up or hypertro-
phied muscle has tendency TO degen-
crate The heart being muscular organ
shares in this tendency. Although the
evidence for and against athletics is
contradictory, the whole subject may be

CARE FOR RUSS DRUNKARDs
Reformed Muscovite Donates Magnif-
cent Hotel for Professional
Tripplers.

Kieff, Russia, has become a real
paradise for drunkards through the
charity of the merchant, Vassili Leve-
den. himself a reformed drunkard,
who has built a magnificent hotel for
tipplers and who employs ten men TO
go about the streets day and night
and drive to the unique hotel all whom
they find intoxicated. Here the topers
are given comfortable beds, Russian
bath and an appropriate breakfast
when they sober up. Drunknness in
Russia has increased at an alarming
rate since the war broke out, especial
ly in the provincial capitals. On sun
days and holidays the police stations
are SO full of persons found helpless
in the streets from drink that separate
quarters have had to be hired. In
Saratopf an enormous building has
been opened for giving a nights shell
ter to persons who are too drunk to
find their way or give their addresses
to me police.

PosTMAN FOR EACH TONGUE
Cosmopolitan Letter Carriers Are Now
Employed by Authorities Of
Singapore.

II is in Singapore where the British
post Office authorities employ letter
carriers for each language. In that
city there are SO many different races

necessary to send the postmen upon
their rounds In sets Of three. One OF
these, Malay. in charge Of all pack

OLDEST HOTEL IN EUROPE

The Goldenes Kreuz Golden Cross)
at Regensburg (Ratisbon). in Bavaria,
is the Oldest hotel in Europe. King
Ferdinand l. halted at II on his way
to his coronation in 1881, and no other
hotel in Europe possesses records of
such great antiquity as the Golden
Cross at Ratisbon does or can boast
OF having had SO many royal visitors
as have enjoyed its hospitality. The
existing visitors books, which date
from 1919, contain the names of more
than 500 imperial. royal and princely
personages. The room is shown where,
in 1865. the late Prince Bismarck, at
that time Prussian minister, slept

hold the conference which was the
last attempt to prevent war between

LOS ANGELES PLANS FOREST
Three Thousand Acres of Brush in
California City to Be Made
Into Woods.

Los Angeles, Cal. has 5000 acres of
brush land called Griffith park. which
II intends to convert into commercial
forest This will be the first instance
of city in the United States creating
a forest The practice is quite common
in Europe, where the forest parks
have not only contributed to the
pleasure of the people, but have been
more than self-supporting through
their timber output. Under its CO.
operative offer the bureau of forestry
had last summer at Los Angeles four
Of its experts making comprehensive
planting plan for the forest. This plan
was completed at the end of Septem-
ber The idea is to convert waste
piece Of land into a productive forest,
which will not only pay for its crea-
ton and care through the sale of ma
ture timber, but will prove constant
source Of pleasure and recreation for
the citizens OF Los Angeles. 1t is an
entirely practical plan, and Los An
geles deserves credit for its progress
sive spirit. Other cities could very
proftably follow this excellent exam
pie.

Circus Manager Helpless When Can.

The circus manager was talking
over the experiences Of his less pros
porous days when attachments on the
show were frequent, relates the New
York Sun.
THE man who wants to get dam
ages against or collect a bill from a
circus should pass by the animals,
which seem of such value to the show
and get his eye on the tent poles he
said. IF he attaches mighty lion
or big elephant the manager will
not make big allowance in order tc
regain possession. But just attach the
tent poles and the manager will help.
