Diamonds in United states

Never before in the history of the
United States has there been such a
demand for diamonds as there was
in 1905. Large quantities were i'm
ported, but the country produced
none. In 1903 it produced diamonds
to the value of $50. in 1901 it had
an output worth 500, in 1900 its
production was valued at $3.50, and
in 1899 the country boasted native
diamonds to the value of $500.
Diamonds have been discovered in
the United States in four different
regions, but their actual place of orr
gin is in every case unknown. All
have been found in loose and super
fetal deposits and all accidentally.
1t is not at all improbable, however,
that some day the original sources
of this queen of gems may be dis
covered.
The high price of diamonds has
made the recent search for these pre-
cious stones in the United States and
Canada keener than ever before. A
careful watch for diamonds was kept
during the examination by the Uni
ted States Geological Survey of many
samples of gold and platinum sands
at the Lewis and Clark Exposition in
Portland, Ore
A lookout for diamonds has also
been kept by number of people who
have been dredging for gold on an
extensive scale in the rivers of Cali
fornia. In neither case have any
finds reported -Scientific Amer
lean.

WEAPON OF THE sANFIsH.
Used Primarily For Grabbing in Mud

Used Primarily For Grabbing in Mud
and Gravel.
The use and significance of that
formidable looking weapon, the
saw of the sawfish, is discussed by
P. Pappenheim in a German Natural
History periodical The author points
out that the few observers who have
seen the animal living have not APP
parently noticed the real use of the
saw. A study of the contents of the
stomach of the sawfish, and the pc
culiar articulation of the skull with
the vertebral column, lead to the con-
clusion that the saw is used pri-
marily for rapid grubbing and bur-
rowing in the mud and gravel. A
secondary use may be protective, but
there is no evidence that the saw is
used as weapon for ramming. AL
bert Gunther, in an article on the
Rays, to which group the sawfish be-
longs, says: 'The saw is a most for
midable weapon of offense, by means
Of which the fish tears pieces of flesh
of the body OF its victim, or rips open
its abdomen, to feed on the protrud-
ing intestines" Saws six feet long
aud one foot broad at the base are of
common occurrence.

though it can be done on an ordinary
table, but with the stage setting by
far the best effects may be obtained.
You can easily fashion a set of
mountain scenery by cutting out
mountains from colored pictures in
old magazines and setting them up
either in the Sits of the stage or on
small wooden stand mounts if you
have no toy theatre.
Two wings" of mountain scenery
will be enough-that is, the front
wing, which is the mountain side, in
the foreground, and the other wing"
made UP of the hills in the back
ground, as shown in the picture.
Now cut out very small picture
of a sheep and paste it on the wing"
in the foreground at point A.
Now cut out a small eagle from
fine tissue paper. A small sewing
needle should be procured. Thread
it with a piece of fine thread about a
foot in length and run it lengthwise
through the body Of the paper eagle.
The most important thing of all to
secure is a very strong magnet. You
place the theatre or table in such q
way as to enable you to stand direct
ly behind the stage, where you can
use both hands at the same time.
Take the magnet in your right hand
and place it at the point marked A

Working in bathing SHIFTS.


Mining coal in bathing suits from
the bed of the Des Moines River is an
occupation which has been followed
by several laborers and teamsters.
Large quantities of fhe best grade
of soft coal have been taken from the
river and stored away to check the
chill of the coming winter, and many
q poor man will be ready for old bor-
cas- when he makes his first appear
ance in the form OF a blizzard. The
mining has all been done just below
the city, and the distance has
been much shorter to haul it than
from the regular mines in this vicin-
ity.
1t has been known for years that
several of the veins of coal mined in
this county passed through the river
at point just below the city. Until
recent years the river has been too
high to permit of much of the coal
being taken out No one has ever
gone on record as laying claim to the
coal, and while it was quite generally
known to exist there has been no
move toward removing or using it.
Recently several men who were
idle located the veins and began
work. They soon attracted atten-
ton, and others joined their ranks,
until many were helping themselves.
The stage of water permitted of their
getting it out without resorting to
diving suits and air hose The tenn
perature of the water was agreeable
to both miners and teams used in
hauling it. The coal when excavated
showed a good quality. and the men
made hay while the sun shone.-
