MUST HAVE DAILY SHOCK.
Victims Of the Electricity Habit Are
Becoming Quite Common
in Gotham.

New York.-"Of ell the habits, the
one that sticks closest to fellow is the
electricity habit" said a young doctor,
1.-The drink habit and the cocaine habit
are mere summer fancies compared with
it. But there is one thing to be said
in its favor; it is usually beneficial. The
electricity habit is contracted just like
any other habit. A few currents are ad-
ministered during an illness, they
strengthen and stimulate, and the first
thing the patient knews he finds the
tonic indispensable. Even after he gets
we'll he Graves the treatment.
81 know one young woman who makes
a fair living by calling at the homes
of electricity victims and dosing them
with a few shocks from galvanic bat
terry. Most slaves to the habit have
their own batteries, but they are afraid
to apply the treatment to themselves.
That is practically a groundless fear,
for there isn't one chance in a thousand
of person giving himself an overdose.
Still, they prefer an experienced hand
to manage the current.
Not all the electricity fiends are iR-
valids, by any means. Many Of them
are now as we'll as they ever were, yet
they have become so addicted to the
habit that they require the weekly,
semiweekly or possibly daily electric
thrills to tone them up."

Had Been Yaccinated.

Gilmore Thomas Wise, the 7-year-
old son of Mr.. and Mrs. Charles w.
Wise, of 36l Fifth street, died yester-
pay of tetanus or lock-jaw and DR..
l.. +. Herrick who attended the little
sufferer, states that one of the contri-
butary causes of the death was vac
cination. The child was vaccinated
over a month ago.
DIR. Z. N. Ever, city health officer
when questioned concerning the mat
ter, said the fact that tetanus did not
set in until FIVE days before the death
of the boy shows that il vaccination
was a contributory cause there must
have been carelessness on the part OF
some one in caring for the arm which
was vaccinated, as the incubation
period for the vaccine is from ten tc
twelve days and that had tetanus SET
in within that period it might then be
claimed that it was due to vaccination.
He states that many parents and
guardians do not properly care fol
arms which have been vaccinated, thai
they should be thoroughly and care
fully washed every day until the
wound has completely healed
Another danger is in permitting thu
child to pick at the scab, and es

Diamonds In Amador County.

Speaking of the diamonds from |
Amador County, the state mineralog-
ist Lewis E. Aubrey. in his recent
publiation on "Gems and jewellers
Materials" says:
Or the several diamonds exhibited
by Professor Sillman one specimen, a
little over 1carat in weight 3.6 grains),
was from Indian Guloh, near Fiddle
town; and four others from the same
region were at that time known.
These stones occurred in compact
volcanic ash or tufa, forming gray
"cement-gravel." At Volcano the
rock is similar, and some sixty or
seventy diamonds have been reported
thus far. This is one of the places
where the cement-rock is worked by
stamping, and the tailings show
pulverized diamonds. The crushed
gravel pays we'll in gold; and it has
not been thought desirable to
change the present method and break
up the rock IN other ways more
costly and troublesome, in order to
save the diamonds that it may con-
tain. In August, 1887, Mr.. Hanks
exhibited before the San Francisco
Microscopical Society beautiful
stone of 1.57 carat weight (4.97) found
at Volcano in 1882, belonging to ].
2. Davis, member Of the society,
and now in the museum of the State
Mining Bureau. It is a modified
octahedron, about 3-10 inch IN dia-
meter, transperarent and nearly
colorIess, though slightly flawed.
The curvature of the faces give the
crystal a subspherical form, but the
edges of the pyramids are channels
instead Of planes. Closer exami-
nations shows that the channeled
edges, the convex faces, and the
solid angles are caused by an appar-
emily secondary building up of the
face of perfect octahedron; and for
the same reason the girdle is not
perfect square, but has somewhat
circular form. These observation
we're we'll shown by enlarged drawings.
The face seem to be composed of thin
plate everything each other, each
slightly smaller than the last. These
plates are triangular, but the lines
forming the triangles are curved, and
the edges of the plates are beveled.
| Mr uonlzc khok kk,o
microscope and by drawings exhibit
ed 1t could be seen that each triang-
ular plate was composed of three
smaller triangles and that all the
lines were slightly curved. The
building up of plate upon plate
caused the channeled edges and the
somewhat globular form of this ex-
quisite crystal. close examination
revealed tetrahedral impressions, as If
the corners of minute cubes had been
imprinted on the surface of the crystal
while IN plastic state. These are
the result of the law of capitalization,
as was shown by the faint lines torm-
ing Iace-work of tiny triangles on
the faces when the stone was placed
in proper light. Mr.. Hanks con-
cluded with the remark that it would
be an act of vandalism to cut this
beautiful crystal, which is doubly
gem, and he protested against its
being destroyed by contact with the
lapidary's wheel. Four small octahe-
dral crystals, which taken from
stamps at the Volcano locality we're
shown in the Tiffany collection of
American precious stones at the Paris
Exposition of 1889, and are now in
the Tiffany Morgan collection, at the
American Museum of Natural History,
New York City.

go to the planter, as it was argued it
would, nor all to the sugar trust, as
there were those who said it would.
But it has proven that in practice that
it is divided between the planter and
the refiner. The Cuban planter gets a
part of the benefit of it in a higher net
return than he would without it, and
the refiner is enabled to buy his sugar
at a lower price than he would if it
were not for that rebate in tariff. Gu
ba being such a large source of sup
ply, this affects the whole market, and
the Hawaiian planter is obliged to ac-
cept the lower range of prices which
this reciprocity with Cuba, entering
as a factor into supply and demand,
makes possible. In other words the
producers of raw sugar, everywhere,
are sending their sugar to their high
est market. The buyers of raw sugar
are seeking their supply in their low
est market. Reciprocity with Cuba in
PRODUCES a factor which enables Gu
ban sugar to be sold at lower price
than it otherwise could be with an
equal profit to the producer, and our
sugar suffers in price in consequence.
Primarily, therefore, it is reciprocity
with Cuba and not the sugar trust,
that is responsible for the fact that
there is more of a disparity between
the London and New York prices than
there otherwise would be. 1t is re-
ciprOcity with Cuba to which we must
charge the present conditions. This is
not to say that the sugar trust might
not, if these conditions We're removed,
seek advantage in some way. But
merely that it is idle to decaim
against the sugar trust when the real
trouble is apparent.
AS for the differential between the
San Francisco price and the New York
price which has existed so long, that
has been made possible, not by the
greed of one man, but by the laws of
trade. 1t was not possible to ship our
entire crop to the Atlantic seaboard.
Some of it had to be shipped to San
Francisco. The laws of trade stepped
in to make the price the lowest that
the sellers would take-the highest
that the buyers would give. 1t was
simply an inexorable law of trade.
The Hawaiian planters have simply
stepped in to find another set of buyers
"a set which will pay a higher price
because they will have to. But in or
der to reach these other buyers, the
planters will have to refine their sugar
and this is what they propose to do.
They are simply following the laws of
trade, as every successful business
must do, and are conforming to the
conditions-meeting the conditions -
out of which the largest profit can be
made out of their business. They are
not wasting time in calling names, but
are active in meeting conditions.

KILAUEA AGAIN ACTIVE.

The Garden Island, Republican in po-
litics, says editorially;
Governor Carter is not the head of
the Republican party in Hawaii and it
is nonsense to bestow that title upon
him. He is simply one of the Repub-
Hcan voters of Hawaii, in his private,
individual capacity, and in his official
capacity he is neither Republican,
Democrat nor Home Ruler, but he is a
Federal officer with absolutely no right
to participate in fractional political
contests, or to allow any of his official
family to so participate, while he is
in office. When he accepted the gov
ernorship he waived the right to do
politics during his term of office. We
have all said this before, and it is high
time Governor Carter should have the
handwriting on the wall distinctly
read and thoroughly explained to him."
