Colony Dates from 1907

In 1907 there is to be held on Hamp-
ton Roads, Virginia, an exposition to
celebrate the three hundredth ami
versary of the first establishment OF
a permanent English colony in Amer
lea, on jamestown island, Virginia,
May 10, 1907.
jamestown island, the site OF the
settlement, lies on the north side of
the James river, thirty miles above
Hampton Roads, and contains sixteen
hundred acres; four hundred acres of
cleared land, the rest in wood and
marsh. Here, on May 10, 1907, the ex-
petition sent out by the London Com
pany In three small vessels, the Su-
san Constant, the Godspeed and the
Discovery, landed and founded the
first permanent English settlement in
America.
jamestown (as 1t was called In
honor of King James) was then To-
Gated on peninsula three and half
miles long and mile and half wide,
ON the concave side of great bend
or the James river; but the constant
washing of the river has cut through
the isthmus connecting jamestown
with the mainland, and it is now an
island. The erosion Of the water has
also washed away large part of the
upper portion of the island. where un-
doubtedly were many of the early
houses.
The first regular establishment OF
the Protestant religion in America
was contemporaneous with the land
ing, and the Rev. Robert Hunt held
the first services under sail cloth
suspended from trees.
In December, 1908, Ann Burras was
married to John Layton at the James
town church. This is the first record
ed English wedding on American soil
The marriage of Pocahontas and Johr
Rolfe, in April, 1914, at jamestown
marked the first conversion and re
corded baptism of an Indian in the
United States, as we'll as the first law
fu! marriage between a white mar
and an Indian.

Why Diamonds Increase in Price.


Diamonds are very high now, and
they are apt to go higher still.a said
Mr.. Irving l.. Russell.
Within the last two years the in
crease in the cost of diamonds has
not been less than 40 per cent. The
big South African company that vlrtu-
ally controls the diamond situation of
the world claims that the ground
which holds the stones is gradually
giving out. and that with the end of
production in sight the advance In
price is natural and legitimate. Wheth-
er this claim is founded on fact, or
whether it Is an excuse for curtaillng
the output. no one outside of the com
pany knows. Anyway, 1t is a wise
policy for owners of really valuable
gems to hold them, as the tendency is
constantly toward appreciation in val
ues. Washington Post.

ARE MOON cRArERs CORAL,
Astronomers Have Another Question
Over Which They Can Dispute.

Over Which They Can Dispute.
Everybody who has seen q chart OK
the moon as drawn by astronomers
knows OF the curious. irregular, rag
ged rings which have been called
moon craters" for many years.
Now astronomers have raised the
question whether or not they really
are the craters of extinct volcanoes,
as has been supposed for so long
One of them asks:
How would the ocean bottoms of
the earth appear to man In the moon
II all our seas were to disappear
Exactly as the moon craters look
10 u.s. Is the answer
So now some of the astronomers
are interested In the attempts to
prove that the moons curious surface
Is not at all volcanic, and that the
"craters" are nothing more or less
than coral reefs and the remains OF
other coral-like structures which have
been left high and dry by the eyap.

If you doubt that thejnickel and quar- ter business doesn't pay, consider the money-making propensities of the aver age seashore bathhouse around New York, and make over your. opinion. A representative bathing pavilion has 1,5O0 bath compartments. It costs 20 cents to rent one. On a medium hot summers day some $500 are derived from renting these rooms, for. the com partments are used in the course of the day by about 400o persons. Bathing suits rent for 25 cents each. There would be 5000 of them for such a pavil- ion, which means S1,OO0 a day If half of them are rented once; and 1t is fair to assume that three-fourths of the 4,000 bathers pay five cents for the use of 8 comb and brush-S150.
