CRYING SHELLS OF CEYLON.
Sounds They Make Like the Notes OF m
AeOlian Harp.
Crom Chanbers'a Journd

From Chdn,berss journal.
Sir j. Emerson Tennent. having heard a
story about musical sounds Issuing from
the lake at Batticalea. In Ceylon. paid a visit
TO the place. The fishermen told him that the
sounds, which resembled the faint sweet notes
of an Eolian harp, were heard only at night
and during the dry season. were most distinct
when the moon was nearest the full and
proceeded, they believed, not from q hsh,
but from a shell called the crying shell"
in the evening"" says Tennent. when the
moon rose I took q boat and accompanied the
fishermen to the spot. We rowed about 200
yards northeast OF the jetty ~ the fort gate;
there was not q breath OF wind or q ripple
except those caused by the dip OF our oars.
On coming to the point mentioned l distinctly
heard the sounds In question. They came
up from the water like the gentle thrills OF
a musical chord. or the faint vibrations OF q
wlneglass when it's rim Is rubbed by a
moistened finger. 1t was not one sustained
note. but a multitude of tiny sounds, each
clear and distinct In itself; the sweetest treble
mingling with the lowest bass.
ON applying the car to the woodwork OF
the boat the vibration was greatly increased
In volume. The sounds varied considerably
at different points as we moved across the
lake, as II the number OF the animals from
which they proceeded was greatest In par
ticular spots, and occasionally We rowed
out OF hearing Of them altogether. until on
returning to the original locality the sounds
we're at once renewed. This fact seems to
indicate that the causes Of the sounds. what
ever they may be, are stationary at several
points, and this agrees with the statement Of
the natives that they are produced by mol
lusca and not by fish.
They came evidently and sensibly from
the depth Of the lake. and there was nothing
In thu surroundjnp circumstances TO SUPPORT
the conjecture that they could he therever-
beratlon of noises made by inse,ts on the
shore conveyed along the surface Of the water.
for they were loudest and most distinct at
points where the nature Of the land and the
inter vention Of the fort and its buildings
forbade the possibility Of this kind OF con-
duction."

A CHINESE POTTERY TOWN.
ChinEtechen, Whore Everything Belongs to
Earthenware Porcelain Industry.
Rxo- "a, gb1nnboi Tivn

From ne Shanghai Times.
For at least 900 years the town Chingtechen,
in China, has been devoted to the making OF
pottery. Walter Clennell. a British Consul. de-
scribes the place. He says that everything
in ChinRtechen belongs to the porcelain and
.arthenware industry.
The houses are for the most part built Of
fragments Of fire clay that were at one time
mart either Of old kilns or Of the fire clay
covers In which the porcelain Is stacked during
firing. The river bank Is for miles covered
with q deep stratum OF broken china ware and
chips Of fire clay. and the greater part Of the
town and several square miles Of the surround.
ing country are built over or composed Of a
similar deposit.>
ChlnRtechen Is unlike anything else In China.
The forms. the color. the materials used In
the buildings. the atmosphere are reminiscent
of the poorer parts Of a civilized industrial
centre. There are i04 large pottery kilns In
town. The greater part are In use only for
a short season In the summer. During this
busy season the population OF Chingtechen
rises to about 400. 900 souls. but Of this total
nearly half are laborers crawn from a wide
area Of country. who cope for the season. live
in rows Of barracklikc sheds and do not bring
their families with them.
Visitors to Chlngtechen pass along street
after street where every shop Is occupied by
men. women and children all engaged in the
designing, moulding. painting or distributing
of pottery. Potters' sheds. where the clay
il mixed and moulded on the wheel. are in
Vulnerable. The river bank Is crowded for
three miles by junks either landing material
and fuel or shipping the finished product.

DIAMONDS IN UNITED STATES.
Discovered in Four Regions place of
Origin Unknown.
From the Scientific American.

From the Scientific American.
Never before in the history Of the United
States has there been such a demand for
diam onds as there was In 1905. Large guam
titles were imported. but the country pro-
duced none. In 1908 1t 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 1890 the country boosted native
diamonds to the value OF $500.
Diamonds have been discovered In the
United States In four different regions, but
their actual place Of origin is In every case
unknown. All have been found In loose and
superficial deposits and all accidentally.
1t 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 Canada keener than ever
before. A careful watch for diamonds was
kept during the examination by the United
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 a number OF people who have been dredg-
Ing for gold on an extensive scale In the
rivers OF California. In mel Their case have
any finds been reported.

Tlety IN Apartments.
what New York needs most just now,
said the man from the West, SIS q brand
now apartment house vocabulary. Every
name. whether suitable or not, has been
worn positively threadbare, until the apart
ment houses Of New York present tho most
cur Gus assortment. They are named after
actors, opera singers, poets and statesmen.
What will happen II you keep on with
the wholesale building Of apartment houses
I'm sure / don't know. Half the States
Of the Union have already been utilized
and lots Of the cities and towns-moun-
tains and rivers, too. As for Christian
names, Of both genders-Td be willing
to wager every letter In the alphabet Is
represented; at least I can recall an Annette
and IN Anthony, a. o good start. with Q
Viola and q William for an ending. Then
I know there are an Ethel and an Edith.
40 well as a Ruth and q Gertrude, and
there are three distinct apartments by the
name Of Douglass. Evidently Helen is q
favorite, for there Is also q Helen Court
and o Helena. Then there are two each
Of Henrietta, Leona, Marion, and q couple
Of Theresas.
Il came across an apartment house the
other day named the Arbutus, and I
know there Is an Ivy Court and a Fern
cliff, but aside from these instances your
name given don't seem to have much Use
for plants or flowers.
"A queer instance Of naming q building
came to my notice only last week. A
cousin OF mine Is a trained nurse here In
New York and she was telling me about
the apartment house which is being built,
designed exclusively for nurses. The name
had been a puzzle to herself n all her
acquaintance in the profession; they could
think OF no possible meaning, for the word
I naturally asked what the name was and
she said, The sesrun.' Well, I thought
Of every possible language, living and dead,
all to no purpose. The thing actually
haunted me. Surely there must be some
reason for such a name. As by that time
I had become somewhat Interested IN tne
to the office Of the architect who was erect
ing this building and asked why under
the sun such a name had been chosen.
Does 1t mean anything7' I asked. Has II
any connection with the practice OF medi-
cine or the profession OF a nurset. ne
admitted that for lack Of q more appropriate
name 1t had been decided simply to spell
the word nurses backward.
"Thep these name givers Of yours seem
to think that a slight change In the spelling
Of a word j~ustiies them in any amount OF
repetition. For instance. they spell Edin-
borough Carlisle and Carlyle, Gains
boro and Gainaborough, Holley and Holly.
Then there Ia Eleanor, Elenore and Elinor. =,
From actual count I've discovered
more than two dozen apartment houses

Dishes Borne by Relays Through Mirror

He has nothing whatever to do. says What
to Eat. with the breakfast.
When the dinner IL to Be served the soene
In the kitchen 10 one Of perfect order and
readiness. The cold dishes which were
prepared during the morning stand on
the table, surrounded II necessary by loo;
the birds and other such dainties which arc
to be served, cooked TO Q second. are ready
to hand.
Now tho hors d'euvres are sent forward
to an anteroom, which In the case OF Buck
ingham Palace Is nearly three hundred
yards from the kitchen, The assistants
are clad In spotless linen, they all work by
the clock. and each dish La commenced
and finished to within q minute Of the ap-
pointed time.
The chef walks around and s~uperintends,
but his assistants are 20 we'll drilled In their

TO give an order, though hare and there he
offers q suggestion for the further protection
Of some little dainty. During this time
he Is himself thinking out the final details
Of the masterpiece OF the table, which he
takes particularly under his own care.
Just outside the door Of thed dining hall
there 10 an apartment where the flnal touches
are given TO tho delicate and costly prep
arations. At Buckingham Palace IL con-
tains q hot table. upon which the dishes
rest In readiness for their distribution to

The man who Yields authority here Is

The passages from the kitchen are long,
with awkward CORNERS ip them here
