For q study OF human nature, Of
mans likes and dislikes, his pcculiari-
ties and habits no better field of eXplo-
ration could be supplied than the holi-
day crowd at the Lagoon yesterday.
There were old folks and young folks,
children and babies. On the winding
paths that circle lin the stretches Of
green lawn and are shaded by over
hanging branches of spreading elns,
there went in endless procession this
mixed army OF humanity.

drinks. Not only must Johnnyehave
bottle of soda water or root beer. as Is
the case on any outing, but on the
Fourth of July when such a sun as yes
terday's beats down, father, mother
and dame sister must also indulge. The
regular stands were besieged yesterday,
while the improvised holiday stands
did a business that was amazing. The
same Is true OF eatables. but, to a great
extent. the eNcursonists brought along
their own stock of food supplies. New

and pleasant place to enjoy a good
lunch, did a rushing trade.
The Lagoon crowd was well-behaVed
and orderly. During the day there was
no rowdyism and those present seemed
more concerned about having a good
time themselves than stirring up trou-
bic for others

SAFE AND SANE
FOURTH OF JULY
Wednesdays Celebration One OF
QuieteSt Ever Seen in
the City.
EXPLOSION OF FIREWORKS
REDUCED TO MINIMUM
Salt Lake Virtually Deserted
During the Greater Part
of Afternoon.

Fourth of July in Salt Lake. City
was of the safe and sane" brand; in
fact, while there were few firccrack-
ors rending the atmosphere, II was diff
1cult for the average man to realize
that the Glorious Fourth was being
celebrated.
g The celebration, or that portion of
1t characterized by the explosion of
fireworks and other things that make
a noise, began at midnight Tuesday
and continued throughout Wednesday
and last night. Compared with other
celebrations, however, the noise was
hardly perceptible, True, there were
devil sticks" in abundance-those
contriyances In which a torpedo is
placed and exploded by jamming the
devil stick" upon the sidewalk-and
there also were numerous giant crack
ers. which could be heard for blocks;
but. all in all, the noise was less I'm
evidence than for years past.
During the morning hours thousands
Of people were seen upon the streets,
out In the afternoon the exodus TO
The various resorts began. and by
o'clock In the afternoon the city was
virtually deserted. Before the people
left town the sodu-water fountains and
other places where cooling beverages
and some that are not cooiing-are
sold, were crowded with thirsty peo-
pie, and trade was said TO be above
the average. During the hours from
: 10 o'clock. however, business was
dull
f. number OF small accidents were
reported during the day, but none re-
suited fatally, or even seriously and
the day generally was free from this
characteristic of the Glorious Fourth.
AT the various resorts interesting
programmes had been prepared and
the people f1ocked there by the thou
sands. Lagoon, Saltair, Calder's. Lib
erty park and the Salt Palace each
received It's quota. and the day was
generally spent in a most pleasant
and satisfying manner

AT CALDER'S PARK.
Record Breaking Crowd Spends Day
at the Resort.

A record breaking crowd is what the
Calder's park management reports as
the result of It's efforts TO furnish Wis
itors with a genuine Fourth of july
celebration. The people were lured 10
the big shady resort to the extent OF
1000, which number not only raises the
record for single days crowd during
the present season. but also during the
long history of the park. II was an
immense crowd out for a pleasant
Fourth, and as the management Of the
park had made arrangements for a good
time for all, no one went home disap-
pointed.
Everything at the park was In work
ing order and busy does not half indi-
cate the atmosphere which prevailed
throughout the entire day at all the
numerous attractions.
In the afternoon beginning at
o'clock a big programme was carried
out. The leading feature of this was
an oratlon prepared and delivered by
Prof. Douglas NJ, Todd. The speech
was OF a patriotic nature and was so
interesting that at the conclusion the
crowd of about 5000 which was assem-,
bled in the dance pavilion and outside
on the grass, broke out In m enthusias-
tic round Of applause. The One Hun
dred and Thirtieth Anniversary of
American Freedom was the subject OF
brought to a close with Rudyard Kip
ling's poem, Lest We Forget"
The Granite Stake Juvenile singing
classes, consisting OF 500 voices, made
a great showing In their part OF the
programme. The 500 young girls and
boys. all dressed in the national colors
and mounted on large platform, sang
America" Hail Columbia" and THE
tar-Spangled Banner" in most pleasing
manner. The programme lasted 10,
about an hour and was highly enjoy
able throughout,
In the afternoon at the park the
crowd was given a chance TO see a list
OF old-time country horse races and In
the evening all took great pleasure I'm
watching a grand display OF fireworks
given by the management of the park
This started at o'clock and the air
was lively with fancy fireworks during
a full two hours.
The day VIII long be remembered at
Calder's by the crowd as one for a
glorious time and by the employees as
one for an exceedingly busy time

AT LIBERTY PARK.
Big Crowd Spends Pleasant Day at
the Peoples Resort.

Not the least interesting place to
spend Liberty day is Liberty park, and
that Its shady bowers and cool hooks
are appreciated was amply demon
strated by the thousands who thronged
the grounds yesterday. Liberty park
ls cosmopolitan in its character: that
chaufeur you can enjoy a spin on the
speedway; the same holds good II you
possess a horse and buggy. and IL you
are In possession of ueither-well,
then you can enjoy yourself In the
swings or the merry -go-round or in q
rowboat, and II YOU object to exertion,
then you can recline In the cool picnic
snd drink lemonade All of which Is
perfectly right and proper on July f.
And thousands did II yesterday
They came from all parts Of the city.

tingent, probably so per cent of the
attendance coming from the surround

his lass holding hands and breathing
signs OF unutterable love; the head of
the family and his better half and the
children. the ganlbols and Joyous
laughter Of the latter being worth a
whole carload of noisy pyrotechnics.
And this was one OF the principal fea-
lures Of the park. 1t furnished a place

DIAMONDS OUT OF SPACE
Samples Mined on Earth Only Frag-
mcnts of Immense Mcteorites.

The only real perfect diamonds which
are 20 be found on this globe are those
which fall from the sky in meteorites
all diamonds which are mined in tho
diamond fields OF the world are only
fragments OF gems.
That Is startling statement bur q
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 assar-
ton with regard to the worlds stock
OF the precious stones, The whole stock
of The Kimberly mines. with their un-
known resources, and all the gems OF
this character to be found In any part
OF the planet-all have fallen from
space al some time or other
Somewhere I'm the Illmitable distance
there is vast diamond factory, the
only place where perfect gems are pro-
ducd. The first piece. of evidence is that
the Whole Of the rock In which the Kim
berly gems arc found is similar to
nothing else on earth; II has been
given distinguishing name (klmberly)
and II corresponds exactly with the
matter Of which meteorites are com
posed
In plain language, the whole of tha.
vast mass of rock fell on earth from
the skies at some late period OF The
worlds formation This is rather stag
gering, but 1t must be remembered
that there Is a mountain in Arizona
which is acknowledged by all scientists
to be meteoric mountain. And Jiu-
monds are being found at that spot
Diamonds are found practically in
superficial layers OF the earths 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
IT Is curious that earthly diamonds a-e
not 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 me-
teorites also explode when they arc
taken from the protecting mass which
covers them completely This Ia due
to The peculiar conditions which pre-
vail where the stones are produced and
these conditions cannot prevail on the
earth as the oxygen prevents them.
In order to make a diamond it -
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 .he
general formation of the gem.

ROYAL HAWAIIAN BAND.
One of Most Popular Attractions Ever
Booked at SaltaIr

The chief attraction OF the Fourth at
Saltair and one OF the most popular
features ever booked by the Saltair
management, was the Royal Hawaiian
band The name OF this musical COM
binatlon Is somewhat misleading, In
stead of being royal. the organization
is democratic. Instead OF its members
being foreigners they are citizens Of
the United States and loyal subjects OF
the Federal Government. The band be-
longs to the First regiment of the Ma
tional Guard of Hawaii The lnstru-
ments they play upon are the property
OF good old Uncle Sam, and the Stars
and Stripes form their flag also. FOR
those reasons Wednesdays celebration
on their part was not of a perfunctory
nature. 1t was an observance that mas
become to them an established custom.
The members say that in Honolulu
more flags are floated to the breeze and
greater enthusiasm is displayed on July
than in Salt Lake.
