1 HE black diamond is an important lp''nt (O article of commerce not because
 it is destined to embellish the hand of feminine grace. but because or the fact that it has been widely applied in indutry. where it is almost as valu- able as the white fellow. The home Of the black diamond the richest beds of the mineral having been found in the province of Bahia and on the banks and in the bed of tke Sac Jose river.
 The stone, which in perfectly opaque. is not beautiful and if the magical word diamond had never been applied to the substance there is no doubt that to this day the black C.amond would be thing unknown However, the facor which this mineral enjoys is of very recent date, for twenty years ago it's properties were un- known and the trade in the stone was practically nothing.
 The constantly increasing perfection of boring instruments brought out the value of the black diamond the use of diamond point drills now having become so general that the price of the mineral has in consequence rapidly increased. To- day the diamond has become to prime necessity in, working tempered metals, saving of marbles. piercing of tunnels and galleries anG in mines. At the time of the inauguration of the Laboratory of Arts and Trades, July l, 1903 a circular saw provided with diamond points pro- duced surprising results, cutting into thin slices the hardest materials.
 On the banks of the Sac Jose we find the traces of the first exploitation of ths mines by the natives, the Garimperos. The black diamond, however, having no commercial value, did not attract these people, and they were apparently ignor- ant of the real character of the mineral.
 From the report of an engineer who explored the region in 1858 we learn that che day the diamond diggers discovered a black stone in Sac Jose. They took the stone to one of their huts and sought to discover it's nature by attempting to crack it. All their efforts were frutless. the stone resisting the most powerful hammers, and after a time it was thrown back into t.e river. The stone weighed

PUZZLE.

 Tom Mason in the March Smart Set. A man and woman once dwelt to- gether in as much mutual love and har- mony as we ever expect - see in such cases.
 The woman was ehangeable, unreliable, selfish, deceptive, sincere, extravagant, economical, conventional, st@rtling, and so forth-that Is, she was the usual thing. The man was sober, snewhat dull. hard working and extremely restless, for his curiosity was unsatisfied, and after they had lived together for a year or more he said to the woman:
 'I have been studying you for some time, and I must confess that I do not understand you"
 Keep on trying" said the woman con- fidently; "mayDe you will some day" So the man sat around for another year, and watched and waited and was uneasy and pleasant and irritable and morose by turns, and then, his curiosity still unquenched, he came again, and said:
 Do you know you're as .huch of an enigma to me as ever? Everything else that l have ever tried to know I have found out, but I'll be hanged if I under stand you"
 Don't give up," said the woman, with perfectly-satis1ed-w -with-herself smile Keep up the good work
 And so for another year the man kept 1t up, and was as full of eagerness as ever. And the woman was simply de- lighted
 'I have him worried,'' she said to her self. All I've got to do is to keep him guessing. and he is mine for keeps.
 But about this time the man failed to come around. And then it became the wo- mans time to be anxious.
 She had long hunt. but finally she found him.
 Look here" she said, whats the meaning of this? I just know that haven't been stupid enough to let you find me out. You don't understand me any better than you did, do you?" The man smiled indifferently Even to answer such a question seemed some- what of a bore.
 Not a bit better" he replied. But, you see, l have found another woman who is even more of puzzle to me than you are"

NEW ORLEANS, July s1.-By the end

Al EW ORLEANS, July 31.-By the end
of the present week the authori-
ties in charge OF the fever situa-
ton believe they Will be in such thor
Ough touch with conditions that they
VIII be able to speak with authority as
to their ability to control and eradicate
the disease in advance of the coming
of the frost. Daily the system of in
spection and report is becoming more
perfect and by the weeks end not only
VIII it be possible TO tell precisely the
extent of the fever, but period Will
have arrived when no more new cases
traceable to the original Infection may
be expected.
Three deaths occurred in the emer
gency hospital today, the number OF pa
tents in which has largely been in
creased. All cases found with no rela-
tives to care for them are promptly re-
moved to the institution. where the
most elaborate modern arrangements
have been made for their treatment.
President Souchon of the state board
of health received advices today that
the WilmOt case at Morgan City had

and the announcement of the case there
VIII doubtless be followed by the bot
thing I'D of the town. No other case
in Louisiana has been reported in the
last two or three days.
1t is generally believed here that
when the present sickness passes New
Orleans will not seek to regain the
fruit trade which has now been diverted
to Mobile unless the fruit companies
are willing to subn2it to regulations
which will make impossible the intro
ductiOn of fever. 1t is almost univers-
ally the opinion that, important as this
trade has become, it is not sufficiently
profitable for the city to run the risk
of a recurrence Of the present ex-
perience.
The mosquito ordinance will be
passed at the meeting of the council to-
morrow. il will require landlords to
screen cisterns. Fine or Imprisonment
is the penalty for failure to obey the
ordinance. Very few houses in the city
are without cisterns and 10000 or SO, 600
of them viii require to be screened. The
city is now spending some $4,000, 900 on
a water and sewerage system. which.
when comp@eted will require the
abandonment of all cfsterns.
1t will however, be two or three years
before this system is finished
