DIAMONDS OUT OF SPACE.


Samples Mined on Earth Only Fran,
mcntS OF Immense MeteorItes.
The only real prrE"Ct diamonds which
are to be found or tAls globe are those
f.. which fall from the sky in meteoritcs;
all diamonds which are mined in the
diamond fields Of the world are ONLY
fragments of gems.
That is Il startling statement, but a
sti.I more startling one is that all the
diamond, to be fuUMl on his planet
have fnllrN 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 asscr.
tlon with regard to the worlds stock of
the precious stones. The whole stock
of the Kimberly mines, with their IN.
known resources. and all the gems OF
this chararte- to be found in any part
Of the pianet-al! have fallen from
space at some time or other.
Somewhere in the illimitable distance
there is a vast diamond factory, the
only place where perfect gems are pro.
duced. The first piece of evidence is
AHAS WV III Liz ~ III VI u LII
Kimberly gems are found is similar to
nothing else On earth it has been given
a distinguishing name Kimberly and
1t corresponds exactly with the matter
OF which meteorites are composed.
In plain language. the whole of that
vast. mass Of rock fell or earth from the
skies at some late period Of the worlds
formation. This is rather staggering,
but 1t must be remembered that there
- a mountain il Arizona which IS &C.
knowledged by al! scientists to be a
meteorlc 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 nc others that are Of
earthly origin; this is regarded as a
strong proof that they fell from above.
Il is curious that earthly diamonds are
hot perfect and that some of them when
nrst 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-
tions cannot prevail on the earth as the
oxygen prevents them.
In order to make Il 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.

Seven Per Cent Dividend Limit.

Vice President Harrington of the Great
Northern told the Minnesota warehouse
commission that no matter how great the
earnings of his line were there was a rule
laid down by President Hill that stock
holders shall never receive more than I
per cent. Further improvements were
made out of the surplus until a new issue
of stock became necessary. He said the
proceeds from the sale of stock went
back into the treasury to make good the
cost of improvements and to pay loans.
Commissioner Staples said that this meth
cd showed that profits We're too large. The
Great Northern now has on hand a sur.

the price it pays to producers for crude

Death Scene Is HOrrifyfnE.

The scene as the Sirio went down
was so horrifying that some OF the
spectators were forced to close their
eyes. Those who leaped into the waor
could see the sinking vessel rapidly
filling with water until-lt seemed al
most immediately-the stern settled
deep into the water and sank below the
surface. This forced the bow up until
1t ~Overnung the ocean. For a moment
the bow hung thus, while the death
screams Of the hundreds Of unfOrtu-
mates imprisoned in the steerage es-
, capped from the depths of the doomed
ship and could be heard for many
ODDS.
Then with a splash the bow followed
the stern below the surface OF the
water, there was a great swell of the
waves and the Sirio, laden with human
freight, had passed forever from sight.
Involuntary sobs broke from the hun
dreds Of spectators. most of whom had
by the closeness of an eyelash escaped
from the death which they had just
seen befall their less fortunate ship
mates.
Before he committed suicide the cap
tain declared the steamer had CAS- pas
sengers on board and that her crew
numbered 127 men. The Sirio had SO
passengers when leaving Genoa, but adj
ditional Spanish passengers were taken
on board at Barcelona, where the ves-
sci touched a few hours before the dis

are that great progress Will be made

MONOPOLY IN COAL
Investigation Shows Railroads Inter
ested in Handling the Product.

PHILADELPHIA, April 11-That the
bItuminous coal traffic is divided among
six railroad companies was developed
today at the first hearing OF the Inter-
state Commerce commission, held here
for the purpose Of determining whether
the railroad companies are interested
dlrtctly or indirectly In the oil or coal
which is transported over their lines,
Four members of the commission
Martin A Knapp. chairman: former
Senator Francis NJ. Cockrell or MIS-
souri,. Judson c. Clements and C A
Prouty-are here To conduct the hear
ings.
Prominent Witnesses.
The principal witnesses today were
Upton H White, stetistician of tho
Tidewater Steam Bituminous Coal
Traffic association; w. w. Atterury
general manager Of the Pennsylvania
railroad; Joseph q. Searles, traffic man
ager of the same company. and Theo-
dore voorhees,. vice-president Of the
Reading company. Through these Wit
nesses 1t was brought out that the
Pennsylvania Railroad company, the
Reading company. the Beech Creek di-
vision OF the New York Central rail-
road, the Baltimore e. Ohio, the Chesa-
peake & Ohio and the Norfolk & West
ern Railroad companies are members or
the Tidewater Steam Bltuminous Coal
Traffic association. which was organ
lied In 1896.
Traffic Is Divided.
The members of the association, 1t
was shown. have an agreement by
which each is allotted 4 certain per-
centage of the soft coal tonnage 1t is
the duty Of Mr.. White to compute the
percentage of the coal carried by each
company and to make a monthly re-
port of the same. The documentary
evidence produced at the request Of the
commission included the bylaws OF the
association,
Small Concerns Shut Out.
The commission also brought out the
fact that by means OF private car sys-
tenn large mining companies are able
to enter into contracts for the delivery
Of coal at stated periods, while smaller
companies, who own no such cars, are
unable to guarantee the exact time
when their coal will be delivered
The Pennsylvania railroad, II was
learned, declines to handle private cars
unless the owner guarantees to have a,
least 500 cars. the possession of which
would involve an outlay OF $500 900.
