FORTUNE IN DRIED MILK.
Inventor Asserts That It's Manufac.
ture Is the Worlds Greatest and
Richest Industry.

James R. Hatmaker, who married the
divorced wife of Capt. de la Mar and
was for many years secretary of Cor
nelius Vanderbilt, is now living at 25
Rue de la Faisondarie, Paris. He has
startled Frenchmen equally with his
energy and with his capacity for launch
ing inventions.
He never buys an interest in a patent
but always acquires it outright. He has
many to-day, but has put all aside fol
what he thinks will revolutionize the
commercial world. This is nothing less
than a process for producing milk in
powdered form.
Thousands of tablets have been or
dered by the German emperor, and large
quantities are being sent for the use oil
troops in Manchuria He calls attention
to the fact, which he says is not realized
In America, that the milk industry l.
even greater than the steel; the steel in.
dustry represents $570, 900 10000, while
that of milk exceeds $500, 000,0 900.
Mr.. Hatmaker has been married two
years and the Hatmaker baby is the best
exponent of the quality of the dried milk
never having received any other. Doc.
tors have been watching its growth

FIND LARGEST GEM.
DIAMOND WORTH MILLIONS Is
DUG UP IN SOUTH AFRICA.
Weighs Over 5000 Carats in the
Rough - Valuable Stones Owned
by Royalty-Strange History
Of the Sanci.

London.-The largest diamond ever
discovered has been found near Pretoria,
IN South Africa. The stone weighs 5000
earats, and is said to be pure white
diamond of good quality. 1t is locally
valued at s3,500,OO0 to 100000. Moth
ing can be known of the exact value OF
khe diamond until it has been cut. But
as q diamond in the rough 1t is easily
the champion.
Take handful of putty the size Of an
ordinary four-pound iron weight to be
| found in any grocery store. Fashion it
roughly into a round mass, and you
will have approximately the size of the
newly-found diamond. Such gem is
too large for wear. In all probability it
will be cut up into smaller stones. Even
II it is kept intact it probably will lose
| from 40 to 60 per cent. in cutting. APP
proximately it weighs about 621.56
| grammes, or about pound and half
avoirdupois.
The largest rough diamond hitherto
found was in Brazil, in the eighteenth
century. 1t weighed 1850 carats, or IA
ounces. 1t was sent to the court OF
| Portugal, to which nation Brazil then
belonged, and was variously valued by
experts up in the millions. But it turned
out to be worth only 100000, as it was
not brilliant.
The largest and most valuable dia-
monds in existence are owned by royal
families Car Nicholas possesses one of
the finest, the Orloff, weighing 1875 carats,
and cut in rose form. 1t was bought by
Empress Catherine in 1772 at price
said to have been $450,000, in addition
to an annuity of 81, 900 for life and Rus
sian title The Kohinoor, one Of the
most famous, is in the royal family of
| England. 1t is said to have been discov-
cred long before the Christian era. 1t
was purchased in India and is valued at
| 100000. Originally, according to tradi-
ton, it weighed 900 carats, and was re-
duced to its present size by repeated cut
tings.
The Regent, or Pitt, diamond, in the
| Louvre, Paris, weighs 1876 carats. Its
value is $2,500,000. The Hope diamond,
weighing AN carats, is valued at $780,
L
600.
| In point Of historical interest the San
| CT diamond probably comes first. 1t
weighed LOG carats, and belonged to
Charles the Bold, duke of Burgundy,
who wore it in his hat at the battle OF
Nancy, at which he fell. A Swiss soldier
found the jewel and sold it to clergy
man r gulden. 1t passed into posses
sion f Anton. king of Portugal, who
was oblige, to sell it for $4,000. 1t then
got into the possession of Sanci,
Frenchman, one Of whose descendants
| was sent as an ambassador by his sover-
eign, who required the diamond as
pledge. The servant carrying 1t was
murdered, but not until he had swal-
| lowed the diamond. His master had the
body cut open and found the stone. The
diamond then went into the possession
of the crown of England, and James II.
carried it with him to France in 1858.
Louis XIV. wore it at his coronation. In
1885 twas purchased by rich Russian
nobleman.

AWFUL VIGIL FOR FATHER
Clings to Cliff All Night Guarding
the Dead Body Of His
Daughter.

John Nancise, living on the lake
shore drive, ten miles west of Cleve-
land, O., chung to the slippery rocks at
the foot of an S0-foot cliff all night
recently with the dead body of his
daughter in his arms to prevent the
waves washing the corpse out into
Lake Erie.
While attempting to extinguish a
fire which was burning the grass
around their home, Miss Vancise fell
over the S0-foot cliff to the rocks be-
meath. Her shrieks attracted the at.
tention of her father, who was fight
ing the fire near by, and he jumped
over the bluff after her.
His life was saved by missing the
rocks and striking the water. He
searched through the rocks in the
darkness until he found the body OF
his daughter. He was unable to move
1t up the face of the steep cliff, and
fearing the waves would carry it GU,
into the lake, he held it in his arms all
night.
Next morning he was successful in
attracting the attention of the crew OF
passing tug, who rescued him and
carried the dead girl to a landine
place. The father was almost insane
as the result of his fearful nights
vigil.

COLLECTS SEVENTY CENTS
Custom House at Galena, Ill, Has Lit
tie to Show for Years Ex-
penditure of 1878.

Chicago-Capt. William Vincent, sur
veyor of the port at Galena, turned in,
In 1903, total of 70 cents, collected in
Il months, to the credit of the customs
account in the United States treasury.
For the same fiscal year lie received
a salary of $3.50, and expenses of the Of
fee brought the cost of collecting the 70
cents up to $78.05, or proportion requir-
ing the expenditure of s540.07 for each
dollar collected.
"You see, this business of the custom
house is different from the business of
firm or. corporation" explained the
captain, in the consciousness of having
collectek $1.20 revenue for the fiscal
year 1904, which will reduce the pro-
portion to only $315.04.
According to the records, Galena leads
the list of As custom houses of the coun-
try where the expenses exceed the re-
ceipts. The excess ranges from eight
cents on the dollar at Great Egg Harbor,
N. j., to s539.07 on the dollar at Capt.
Vincent's station.

sEWs WITH HER TONGUE.
German Girl, Almost Totally Par.
alyzed, Accomplished Wonders
with the Organ.

Berlin. - The Deutsch Medicinische
Fochenschrift, the central organ of the
medical profession, tells of the extraor-
binary case of girl born at Wertheim
In 1880. who, when six years old, lost the
use of every member except her tongue.
BY long practice the girl has become
able to eat, write and even sew by means
OF her tongue alone. She took up the
end OF piece of cotton with her lips;
with dexterous turn of the tongue she
made a knot in the end; she cut dolls
clothes, manipulating an easy-cutting
pair OF scissors with her lips, while to
thread the needle, she stuck it into the
table with her lips and with her tongue
passed the thread through the eye with
perfect ease.
In the course of years her tongue has
lost its original shape and become thin,
pointed and of unusual length.

UNEARTH FORTUNE IN ART
Windsor Castle in England Yields Col
lection of Antiques Valued at
Fully $1,25o,ooo.

Heterogeneous of the state apart
ments at Windsor Castle, England, in
anticipation of the forthcoming visit
Of the king and queen of Portugal has
brought to light collection of price
less treasures, the existence of which,
or at least their startling value, has
been entirely overlooked.
When the attention of the king was
called to "some mementos collected by
pert enter the castle and look over the
collection.
At the end of an hour, after the ex-
pert had examined the contents of a
single cabinet, he sent word to his
majesty that he would pay 100000 for
the contents OF. that cabinet alone.
Then more searching investigation
was instituted, which resulted among
other things in the amazing revelation
that the collection was one that had
been made by King George Ill, and
that the rarest articles it contained
had been gathered by that monarch's
favorite cook, Laurens by name. The
collection had been entirely forgotten.
This man Laurens, while a chef by
profession, was one of the best in
formed and most expert authorities on
art matters in the period of the third
George. 1t appears that he was only
nominally a cook, his master using
him chiefly as an agent to attend the
important art sales in England and on
the continent, at almost every one Of
which he picked up, frequently at mod
est prices, art treasures that are now
invaluable
A most important feature of the eco
nomical kings plan was that, buying
in his own name, Laurens concealed
the fact that he was seeking treasures
for royal master, and thereby saved
thousands of pounds on his purchases.
1t is said that these treasures, which
are now properly displayed for the first
time in a century, have no equal in
any other royal castle or palace in
Europe. They comprise pictures,
china, plate, rare old clocks and ar
ticlos OF vertu, miniature, old armor
and odds and ends that mount up in
value to considerably over $1,250,000.
At the direction of the king they
have now been arranged to advantage
