Diamonds,

Previous 10 the discovery of the Bra.
lillian mines in 1927 diamonds were
found chiefly iu India and Borneo. The
most valuable Brazilian diamond was
the Southern Star, found In 1854, which
weighed 254 carats i'm the rough and
124 carats after cutting. The South
African diamonds do not equal the Bra
lillian for purity on the average. Other
countries where diamonds are known
are the United States. British Guiana,
Russia, China, Sumatra and Australia.
In the United States the stones are
found only occasionally in alluyial ma.
terial and drift. The great lakes re-
zion Is one of the districts In which
they are found
Owing to the peculiar circular or oval
form OF the deposits In which diamonds
are discovered IN South Africa it Is con-
sidered that these deposits mark the
vents or pipes of ancient volcanoes, and
Il Is therefore considered that the pres
ence OF diamonds Is connected with vol
canic activity, the stones either having
been brought up from the interior OF
the earth or having been formed where
found under the influence OF molten
rock In connection with carbonaceous
shele.

will cost $500, 900. The boat will run
every other day, and if the traffic war
rants it, still another boat will be put on.
At a meeting of the stockholders a
resolution was adopted increasing the
capital stock 800, 900 and author
izing an issue of $500, 600 in bonds
for the purpose of purchasing the rights
of the Alexandria Ferry Company, and
the building of new wharves and boats
for use between the two cities. The
contract for the building of two steel
ferry boats was awarded TO the Harlan &
Hoilinesworth Company Of Wilmington,
Del The boats are to cost in round
numbers $40, 600 each, and the first one
is to be delivered, ready for service, in
five months, the other to follow as soon

MonkrYs at Play.

Nothing is more instructive" said
the zoo keeper to ii Baltimore Herald
reporter, than TO watch young mon
keys at play. These interesting crea'
lures investigate everything with in
satiable curiosity. They do things
startling enough to convince me that
they have almost human minds.
81 had In India a young monkey that
learned to put the key in the lock and
unlock the chain that fastened 1t to a
pole. Near this monkey there always
lay brush with handle that un'
screwed. In time the monkey learned
to unscrew the handle and then TO
screw 1t In again.
"a friend OF mine had monkey that
he kept chained just out OF reach OF the
hearth fire. This monkey learned 10
tear strips from newspapers, roll them
into long tapers and light them In the
hames,"
