HOW HE SAVED AN INDUSTRY.
Traffic Managers Scheme to Outwit
 Striking Coken1akers.

There is not a single side of our in- dustrial life which the traffic managers work does not touch. year or two ago a strike at the coke ovens in an iron manufacturing center threatened paralysis of all the industries of the neighborhood. You can't smelt ore. or run pigs" or make steel without coke. and all of a sudden one day the coke men went out in body No doubt they thought that they should tie up the iron making industry and that the pressure that would result would be too much for their employers to with stand. On their part. though. the em- ployers made up their minds that they could not afford to. yield an inch of their ground. no matter what the con sequences to others might be.
 It made no difference what the merits of the dispute between the strikers and their employers were to the traffic manager to whom the steel industries appealed for assistance. All he could consider was that the Smelters and furnaces were meuaced; that if they could not get coke they must close down. that if they closed down 5000 or 5000 men would be out of employ ment and that the town would get setback from which it might take two or three years to recover Meantime. freight, the traffic managers everlast- ing care. would seriously diminish in volume. There would be no pig iron. nor sheet iron. nor steel biIlets nor rails to carry out. and there would be fewer barrels of flour, less household necessities. to bring in.
 What did he do. them By a fortu- nate provision of nature. coal mines and iron mines nearly everywhere lie side by side. Cheap fuel close at hand is an important factor iE the iron in- dustrieS. and when the strike deprived these steel men of their usual local supply of coke the railroad simply made a temporary rate to the threat ened locality from the big fields of Pennsylvania. The rate didn't pay the actual expense of carriage. but it kept the steel mills going and saved a loss to the community that would have mounted up. very likely. into the hum dreds Of thousands of dollars: also. it saved the railroad a good bit--Review of Reviews.

UNITED STATES DIAMONDS.
Discovered in Four Resions-orisin
 Unknown.

Never before in the history of the United States has there been such 8 demand for diamonds as there was in 1905. Large quantities were imported. but the country produced none. In 1903 it produced diamonds to the value of $50. in 1901 it had an output worth S1OO. in 1900 its production was valued at $50. and in 1899 the country boasted native riamonds to the value of $500.
 Diamonds have been discovered in the United States in four different re- gions but their actual place of origin is in every case unknown. All have been found in loose and superficial de- posits and all accidentally. It is not at all improbable however, that some day the original sources of this queen Of gems may be discovered.
 The high price of diamonds has made the recent search for these precious stones in the United States and Can ada keener than ever before. A care fuI watch for diamonds was kept dur ing the examination by the United States geological survey of many sam ples of gold and platinum sands at the Lewis and Clark exposition in Port land, Oregon.
 A lookout for diamonds has also been kept by a number of people who have been dredging for gold on an extensive scale in the rivers of California In neither case have any finds been re- ported.-Scientific American.
