Ignorant or VIndictiyep

The editor Of the Los Angeles,
(cal. Herald evidences more zeal
for the advancement Of his state
than in keeping within the bounds
of truth and veracity, as the
following proves;
FLORIDA may suit those who care for
swamps, alligators, typhoid fever and
humid, heavy, soggy, dampness that is
ever present there. But those who want
a real escape from the evils that hedge
these other regions about, and who feel
that they cannot or do not care to stand
the northern cold and billiards, SHOW
and ice will still come to Southern
California, as they have done in the past,
and as they will continue to do, in ever
increasing numbers
II would indeed be a reflection
on the intelligence of the public to
attempt a refutation of these
charges; but for the enlightenment
of the evidently benighted writer
it is but charity to set him right.
We plead guilty to the swamps and
the gators. The former are
rapidly being drained and trans
formed into productive plantations
that almost rival the arid regions
of Southern California. Our
alligators, we regret to state, are
rapidly decreasing But we have
left us pine lands, high and dry,
kissed by sunshine, lulled by
breezes, (" not inalaria-laden, as our
Jealous California contemporary
would have us believe, but freighted
with fragrant, life-giving, health
reviving ozone of old Atlantic.
Notwithstanding the hundreds Of
hopeless invalids who annually
visit our resorts and the inevitable
death Of many within our borders,
Florida's death rate is among the
lowest of the states. Typhoid in
Florida is almost unknown. Year
by year Our resorts multiply and
the people come. Winter homes
are springing UP by the thousands,
and permanent settlers are flock
ing in. Our advancement is so
eminently justified that It requires

BACK TO PULPIT.



A minister of Elizabethtown tells
how Grape Nuts food brought him back
to his pulpit: Some five years ago
| had an attack of what seemed to be
La Grippe. which left ME in compiete
state of collapse. and l suffered for
My appetite failed, l lost flesh until
| was a mere skeleton, life was a bur-
den to me, l lost interest in every
thing and almost in everybody save my
precious wife.
Then on the recommendation of
some friends began to use Grape-Nuts
food. At that time 1 was a miserable
skeleton, without appetite and hardly
able TO walk across the room: had ugly
dreams at night, no disposition to en-
terrain or be entertained and began to
shun society.
Il finally gave up the regular minis
try; indeed l could not collect nv
| thoughts on any subject, and became
almost a hermit. After 1 had been
using the Grape-Nuts food for a short
time l discovered thatI was taking on
new life and my appetite began to i'm
prove: l began to sleep better and my
weight increased steadily; l had lost
some fifty pounds, but under the new
food regime I have regained almost my
former weight and have greatly i'm
proved in every way.

DIAMONDS OUT OF SPACE.
Samples Mined on Earth Only Frag-
menfS of Mefeorsfes

Samples Mined on Earth Only Frag-
ments of Immense Meteorstes.
TIE only real perfect diamonds which
are TO be found on this globe are those
which fail from the sky in meteorites !;
all diamonds which are mined in the
diamond fields of the world are only
fragments of gems
That is a startling statement. but
still more startling one is that all the
diamonds to be found ON this planet
have fallen on the earth from the skies
and have not, as most persons sup
pose, been produced here like coal and
other mineral products.
Yet this is the latest scientific asser-
ton with regard to the worlds stock of
the precious stones. The whole stock
of the Kimberly mines. with their I'M
known resources, and all the gems of
this character to be found in any part
of the planet-all have fallen from
space at some time or other.
Somewhere in the illimitahle. distance
there is vast diamond factory, the
only place where perfect gems are pro-
duced. The first piece of evidence is
that the whole of the rock N which Inc
Kimberly gems are found is similar to
nothing else on earth; it has been given
distinguishing name kimberly and
it corresponds exactly with the matter
of which meteorites are composed.
In plain language, the whole of that
vast mass of rock fell on earth from the
skies at some late period of the worlds
formation. This is rather staggering,
but it must be remembered that there
IS mountain in Arizona which is ac-
knowledged by all scientists to be a
meteoric mountain. And diamonds are
being found at that spot.
Diamonds are found practically in
superficial layers of the earth'S crust
that is another proof of their celestial
origin. Further, the diamond crystals
are formed like no others that are of
earthly origin; this is regarded as a
strong proof that they fell from above
II is curious that earthly diamonds are
hot perfect and that some of them when
first brought from Kimberly mines and
exposed to the air explode and crack
into several pieces. Now the stones
which come down in meteorites also ex-
plode when they are taken from the
protecting mass which covers them
completely. This is due to the peculiar
conditions which prevail where the
stones are produced and these condi-
tons cannot prevail on the earth as the
oxygen prevents them.
In order to make a diamond it is
necessary that the constituents should
be very hot and then cooled quite sud
denly; nothing else will account for the
peculiar shape of the crystals and the
general formation of the gem.
