Hence a great deal Of scandal, and the

Diamond cutting up to q receat time

ployed here turns out great Quanti-
ties Of artificial ones. which now rule

so brilliantly cut and polished that
only experts can distinguish them
from the genuine article. Rock crys-
tai, the purest form Of quartz, Is en-
ployed In making artificial diamonds,
and this can only be worked to advan-
tage with the electrical machines, hand

besides turning out inferior results.

WARNS NOSE WITH CIGAR.
New York Nan Holds Fire End Close
to Face and Then Takes
SNUFF

Many and varied are the ways and
means adopted by people these days
as a protection from the cold, but one
Of the oldest schemes Is that Of q man
who uses his cigar to warm his nose.
While on the street he invariably
smokes q cigar. and at frequent in
terVals he removes II from his month
and holds the lighted end close to his
nose. which happens to be An organ
OF uncommon size. says the New York
Times. Some years ago this gentle
man froze his nose. and ever since It
has been extremely susceptible to cold.
Moreover" explained the man, there
Is q considerable amount Of heat "a
dated from the IRE end Of Q cigar,
much more than you would naturally
suppose; yet I admit in extreme cold
weather II IL not SUFFICIENT to keep
my nose comfortable. and at such

TELEoRAPHY IN AUSTRALIA.
Railroads and Other Improvements
Are Unusually Extensive In
That Country.

The circumstances Of Australia, and
the conditions Of its settlement, have
had the effect Of making both its rail-
roads and its telegraphs unusually ex-
tensiVe In comparison with the num-
bers OF its population, ana this II
markedly the case with its mileage OF
telegraph lines, writes Hugh H. Lusk,
In the North American Review. At
present the great island Is only set
tied on q strip OF country bordering
on the coast, and even that strip does
not include the more northern shores
either on the east or west, and takes
In no part Of the north side at all.
The consequences Is that g line Of tele-
graph which connects the settlements
Of Queensland on the northeast OF
Australia with those Of West Australia
on the west coast-R distance, in Q
direct line, of about $500 miles-coV-
ers fully double that distance from
the necessity Of keeping In touch with
the settled districts. There Is. indeed,
one line Of telegraph which Of neces-
sity ignores this rule. and passes for
nearly its whole length Of about LOO
miles from the south to the north
western corner Of the island. through
an unsettled country. The purpose
Of this line is to connect settled
Australia with the rest Of the world
by way Of Java and India. and It
passes through great districts Of the
interior which were first explored for
the purpose OF its construction.

reform in the matter Of reviewing stands
from which the general public that cares
to pay one dollar or two dollars for seats
can view the splendid inaugural parade.
The proposition now being considered
Is to use the ellipse Just south Of the
white house. This is an oval shaped plat
OF ground, many acres in extent, and
around which runs a broad macadam-
lied driveway. It Is proposed to erect q
stand completely around this ellipss in
the form Of an smphitheater. At one
point in it would be the grand stand,
where the president and the distin-
eutshed personages could review the
marching columns. The parade would
move around the driveway and would be
in full view as 1t passed the entire ellipse.
Such stand would be Of tremendous
extent and accommodate probably rs 900
people.
On former occasions the inaugural
parade passed in front Of the white
house, which necessitated q break from
Pennsylvania avenue up Fifteenth
street to the north Of the treasury, ana
then west again on the avenue. This
made 1t necessary for the marchers to
execute two movements just before pass
ing the reviewing stand, and 1t some
times threw the best drilled bodies OF
men out Of line, which they did not al
ways recover when they came within
sight Of the president II the big review
ing stand Is provided, no others will be
erected, and the historic Pennsylvania
avenue will be free from these unsightly
structures, and the visiting throngs will
have an unobstructed use Of the side

STANFORD FOOTBALL.

Stanford University, Aug. 3.-The
football season at Stanford Is now less
than four weeks away and as yet
there is no indication that the new
athletic field will be in shape for prac-
tice when the squad is called out or
that the bleachers will be completed
in time for the big game with the Uni
verslty of California, which is sched.
uled to take place at Stanford during
the early part of November. There
isn't stick OF timber on the site.
Over month ago the Training
House Corporation. which has the di.
rection of the work, had completed all
the plans and were ready for the con.
tractors. but the Board Of Trustees
stepped in and refused to allow tho
contracts to be let until the plans and
specifications had been passed upon
by its engineer. The engineer made
few minor changes and then report.
ed them back to the Board of Trustees.
The board then thought 1t must pass
upon the plans officially and another
two weeks was consumed before the
board could get together a quorum.
1t is now nearly three weeks since
the contracts for the bleachers were
let, and as no work, except little
grading. has been done toward their
construction, 1t is becoming grave
question as to what Stanford will do
IN regard to providing a place for the
olGing of the important games OF
the season. The old field can easily BIO
put in shape for the minor preliminary
games. but the bleacher accommoda.
lions in the old grounds would not BIO.
