GOOD DIAMONDS IN ARKANSAS
Professor Schneider Reports That the

Field Is as Rich as Kimberley.
The diamond field discovered In Pike
county, Ark, is rich, according to the
report of Professor Philip Schneider,
geologist of the Syracuse IN. " uni
versity. who was employed by the
state department of agriculture to
make an investigation. says a Little
Rock (Ark9 special dispatch to the New
York Times.
In his report. which he recently filed
with Guy H.sTucker, the state agricul-
tural commissioner, he says that while
much of the land which he inspected
Is worthless, a few acres, comprising
what are known as the Huddleston and
Money places, are rich producers Of
genuine diamonds.
He reports that the surface indica-
tions are that this territory will equal
the famous Kimberley diamond fields
in South Africa. The dirt, he reports,
resembles in every respect the soil in
and around the Kimberley diamond
tracts In South Africa
There can be no doubt" he adds,
that genuine diamonds have been OBJ
tanned from the Huddleston tract in
this state

came into sight the car rang with
cheers, In which Sugden's voice was
by no means the least vociferous.
1t was pleasant to meet the reception
committee with their pompous formal
ity Of welcoming speeches, which were
followed by the more genuine hand
clasps. 1t was still more pleasant to
make his way up the street and get a
welcome on every hand. but through
it all Sugden was conscious of one lack
the absence of one person who alone
could make old home week a success
to him. For the first time he realized
that the week meant to him Elizabeth
Grantley, and it was to see her that he
had come.
AS he crossed the foaming little riv-
er that cut the town in two he remem-
bered the last time that he stood on
the span. He and Elizabeth had lean
ed against the rail, watching the swirl
ing waters in the uncertain moonlight,
while gently she had put from her the
hopes that had risen in her breast and
had sent him on his way unfettered by
matrimonial promises. "If you really
want me you will come back for me
without promise" she had whisper
ed. 81 could not bear to think that
was holding you back in your career.
Billy" He had protested and argued,
but the girl had steadfastly held to her
point She would not marry him-she
would not even consider an engage
ment. If he was TO fight his way in
the world he must be left free.
He had failed then to perceive her
point of view. He had wanted her to
marry him and go with him in search
of career. When she had refused he
had flung himself away, land he had
not written, Now he knew that she
had been right. and he longed to tell
her so. There was a bureau of infor-
nation through which visitors might
locate their old friends, but the sweet
faced Girl in charge of the registry
list shook her head regretfully. we
tried to locate the Grantleys to reach
them with an announcement" she eX-
planned, 'but they appear to have drop
ped from sight completely. | will
make a note of your address in case
I'VE do locate them" Sugden thanked
her and went out feeling as though
after all his coming had been a mis-
take He slipped into the opera house
to listen for awhile to the formal exer-
cises for the opening day. but he found
the prosy oratory tiresome and soon
sought the open air. Bridge and Court
streets were brought out brilliantly by
arches of incandescent lights, and in
the Indian summer warmth a pushing,
perspiring crowd made their way up
and down the streets and jostled each
other into the gutter. while the con
fetti was scattered about and the
feather ticklers were everywhere in
evidence.
With a gesture of disgust, Sugden
turned from the crowd. His mood was
not atune to merrymaking, and be
sought the more quiet parts of the
town. Almost unconsciously he tooh

cottage where the Graptlavs had mads

NEW TELEPHONING SYSTEM

Hold Transmitter to Chest and Talk

1t is not necessary to place ones lips
to the transmitter of telephone TO be

says st. Louis special dispatch to the
New York Times. The same results
may be Obtained by placing the trans
mitter firmly against the chest or, in
fact nearly every part OF the body and
speaking in a clear, natural tone.
The new system was discovered the
other night by two young women of
ST. Louis, one living in Westminster
place and the other in Delmar boule
yard.
If you have any doubts, place the
transmitter TO your chest and tell CEN

instructions for the use of the con

Professor Calvin NJ Woodward, Il
scientist at Washington university
said that there was nothing surprising
about the principle involved In the
chest system. although he frankly ad-
mitted that ii had never occurred to
him or any one else before to test Its
practicability
"The sound vibration in the lungs is
communicated to the ransmitter
through the chest instead of through
the lips and is then carried over the
wire in the usual way" he said.
The chest system is in accordance
with the principle of the stethoscope.
Following the publication of the
story of the young women's discovery
in morning newspaper, the whole city
of St Louis began experimenting to
test the statement, and The exchange
in St Louis spent the busiest twelve
hours in it's history
