Wheat and Prosperity.

On the basis of the governments re- port on acreage and condition, the winter wheat crop of 1905 will amount to 46O.OOO,O0O bushels. This is far larger than any crop gathered along to this time. The winter wheat yield of 1904 was 332. 2.OO0,OOo bushels and that of 1903 was S99 9e0e 0ee. The largest winter wheat crop ever har- vested to the present day was ia 1909, which was 411,O00,000 bushels, or 49,OOO,OOO under that promised for this year.
 From the present outlook the aggre- gate wheat yield of 1905 will break all records. The condition of spring wheat. despite the backward weather throughout much Of the producing states. is fully up to the average fe harvest of the past few years was 74S.OOO, 900 bushels in 1901. 6ze ee9, COG in 1902. 637 .OOO, ,O0O in 1908 and 552, eDe- coo in 1904. The winter wheat outlook is so much better this year than ever before there is a chance that 19e1s harvest, WHICH was IEle HlSLttSG FGGOF0a, will be beaten in the present season. All the indications premise a new highest for 1905 in the wheat round up.
 Wheat is not the mast valuable of the country's grain crops. Corn has that distinction. The value of the 1904 yield of wheat. as estimated on the farm by the department of agEa- culture for December of that year, was s51O, O00, ,e0a, wlatle the eorH crop was worth 1,0S7 coo. GOO at that date. But very much of the eeuntry's prosperity depends on the wheat yield. When the wheat growers have good times the country in general is pres porous. The present outlook is that while food vii be cheap this year, the farmers income will be large. and pro- ducers and consumers will be happy. This is the ideal condition. It comes occasionally, and this stands a chance to be one of the favored years.

Chinese students are not such bar barians after all. They handle the diff ficult problem of maintaining satisfac- tory relations with their teachers with skill American college students might envy. At KiaRgyin short time ago an examination was held. the subject of which had been announced as ancient history. When tie students reached the examination room they were astonish- ed to find that totally different and unexpected subject had been set. What happened next is best told in the words of theKiangyfn correspondent of the North China Herald" After a hasty consultation, a rush was made against the doors of the examination hall. This soon brought the magistrate out. He was met with the respectful question: Why has the subject been changed without Retice?' To this the magistrate (the eNaminer) answered haughtily, and his answer was received with a storm of abuse. The crash of furniture that followed was clear indication that discretion held his best course. But the official stoHtly held his ground un- til table legs, pieces of plank and any thing available began to fly around his head" To these perfectly definite and concrete expressions of public opinion the examiner gracefully yielded.

Unknown Heroes.

Great disasters that involve loss o5 human life seldom fail to bring out in- stances of herofsm and self sacrifice te strengthen our faith in humanity. Ths recent Harrisburg wreck furnishes 6 good illustration. Here is tlle simple story of how one man surrendered his life: "He was about to be carried from the end of the car when he told the two villagers who were lifting him thai a woman and baby were in the berth below. They laid hin aside and found the woman dead. The. child was lfv- ing and they took it out. Before they could return the ear was ablaze and the heroic victim was roasted alive" |" Even his name is unknown.
 Sam Schubert, the young theatrical manager, received injuries from which he afterward died. The fingers of both hands were eharred to the bone and his feet were almost burned off. Yet when he was asked to go to the hospital he said: No. I'm Rot so badly hurt as the others; I can go to hotel"
 These were but two of dozens of sirl- ilar eases. The Harrisburg disaster was not peculiar in this respect. Almost every affair of the kind has it's roll or heroes. Great souls are about us every where all the time, but we do not Fe- eegnize them until some supreme sac rifiee reveals them to us.

Prehistoric Man.

In the last issue or ''Scienc2'' DF. " G. McGee. long in charge og the hureau of cthnology in Washington. discusses some of the problems of anthropOlOsy. One of them is suggested by the sira- ilarities and symbols of races living in regions widely separated from ene aR- other. Such resambIancas have been detected in relics representing ey- tremely remote periods Of history.
 At first tho facts were taken to sig n:fy that there was some relationship between the races in question. but as there were more dissimila,ities than similarities, it seemed necessary te adopt a different explanation. The late J. w. Powell, of the United States geo. logical survey evolved the theory tbat there is an inherent disposition in the human mind which leads it to respond in the same way to the same influence. Other authorities in this country lind that doctrine the more satisfactory of the two.
 A second class of Dhenomeha that has attracted attention is the gradual convergence toward uniformity of the lines of social and intellectual develt r. m.nt. This seems easy to understand. T. is doubtless due to improved means e communication between the people oS different countries. Couta ,t exerts d potent influence upon habit and idea. However, the circumstance lead few scientific men to draw a curious infer once. Conveyance now. they say, ina Flies divergence in the past. In other words, they find here a reason for thinking that the human race B9iG ht lave originated at several centres. Cue prominent ethnologist, fleane, fancieG ti.at there must have been sepa late ti1thplaces for the white. red. yellow and t.sck races. Powell thought that ttere might have been aa ip,lefatt2 n.rnber of initial stocks. V hethe- the human race had one cradle or nanY $ a point on which Dr. Mo ice himself, does rot give his own opin a. He caA = tents himself with stating che problem and indicating that as yet taeYs is no genera. agreement regarding 1t.
 A third question about which much las been written but about which fit . tic is really known relates ;o ;he aA- tiGuity Of man. Great difficulty has been e perienced in ihte ,pEetins the evidence which has been found. Marry of the arrowheads and eth relics ef primitive races. for instance. are found under conditions which raa2 e4 it pn- certain whet"er they were deposited simultaneously with the adjacent clay accident.

MINING BLACK DIAMONDS.
Primitive Process Employed by the
Natives of Brazil in
the Work.

The black diamond is an important ar
tlcle of commerce, not because it is des-
tined to embellish the hand of feminine
grace, but because of the fact that it
has been widely applied in industry,
where it is almost as valuable as it's
white fellow. The home of the black
diamond is Brazil, the classic land of the
diamond, the richest beds of the mineral
having been found in the province OF
Bahia and on the banks and in the beds
OF the Sac Jose river.
The stone, which is 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 diamond would be
thing unknown. However, the favor
which this mineral enjoys is of recent
date, for 20 years ago its properties
were unknown, 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 be-
come so general that the price of the
mineral has in consequence rapidly in
creased. To-day the diamond has be-
come OF prime necessity in working tenn
pered metals, saving of marble, pierre
ing OF tunnels and galleries and in
mines.
At the time of the Inauguration of the
laboratory of arts and trades in July,
a =;
mond points produced surprising re-
suits, cutting into thin slices the hard
est materials. On the banks of the
Sac Jose are found the traces of the
first exploration of the mines by the ma
tives, the Garimperos.
The black diamond, however. having
no commercial value, did not attract
these people, and they were apparently
ignorant Of the real character of the
mineral From the report of an en-
glneer who explored the region in 1858
we learn that one day the diamond dig
gers discovered black stone in the
Sac Jose. They took the stone to one
of their huts and sought to discover its
nature by attempting to crack it. All
their efforts were fruitless, the stone
resisting the most powerful hammers,
and after a time it was thrown back into
the river. The stone weighed about TO-
QUO karats, and at the present price of
S4O karat, represents loss of $500 900.
The exploitation of the Brazilian dia-
mond mines by the Garimperos, it is
unnecessary to say, was not scientific.
The crevices of the rocks are explored
with the hand, the gravel being taken
away in little barrels which are car
| rled on the head. Attempts have been
made to lessen the time of the work by
diving for the mineral, but the violence
OF the stream is such during the rainy
season that this plan has been but little
adopted.
The only method which will pro-
duce results, and the one which will
shortly be put in operation, is that of
draining. Dams will be erected 300
feet apart and the centrifugal pumps
| will be installed for the purpose of
drawing off the water The result OF
| the work cannot be question of doubt,
Judging from the past performance of
| these diamond mines
