The in plate and steel workers

imously pledged to secure from the
workmen of that two two cents a
month from each man and one cent a
month from each boy for a period of
two years for Y. NJ. c. A. building.
Their contribution will be nearly
$1,000. The Welsh associations are fol-

When the famous Major General
Baden Powell was advertised to speak
to boys in Birkenhead. England, on
Scouting" crowds of boys came out
TO hear him. He urged that the char
acteristics of the successful scout in
the field. which would count as well
in the life OF boys, were the cultiva-
ton of the powers of observation de-
duction, and promptitude Of action
When he declared that the best scouts
did not use tobacco, because it impair
ed the visual and nasal organs anC
would stunt the growth and intellect
of boy, he gave th-.n a lesson which
they will not be quick to forget.

THE OLDEST DIAMOND FIELDS.
Kohinoor Probably Came from Them
About $50 Years Ago.

In a recent report of the geological
survey of India there is an interesting
account of the Parma diamond fields
of central India Historically this
country is believed to be the original
home of the diamond and from them
it is supposed that the famous Kohl
moor was extracted some three and a
half centuries ago, the earliest dia-
monds dating some 25 years previous
ly.
Of late years India has quite re-
tired from the field as a precious stone
producer to any extent or value, but
from the account given it should be
worth the while of a small syndicate
to take up these diamond fields, says
the Pioneer, and work them systemati-
cally, though it is said that neither in
luster nor price do the stones found
compare with the yield of the South
African fields.
The methods, however, now In
vogue mean merely superficial treat
ment, following the lines which have
been in vogue for centuries, with the
probable result that the strata con
| tanning the most valuable deposits oil
stones are not reached. From a geo
| logical point of view there are said tt
/ be diamond bearing conglomerates
over several areas, which would ad
nit of deep shaft sinking, and sys
/ tematic mining under competent con
troll being carried On prohtably.

forty years before the "Rubaiyat of Omar
Khayyam" became popular in America it
was a drug on the English market One
.shopkeeper had 200 copies on hand which
he offered for a penny each, but the sale
was slow even at that cheap price one
of these penny books is now valued at
$500.
Making a collection of American books
is a commendable patriotic fad among
book lovers in this country, and the
finest library Of Americana is a private one
in Providence. r. l.. which was collected
by John Carter Brown II it should be
auCtiOned off il would probably bring a
couple OF million dollars. Another one
which is equally as fine. though not an
American, is that of Robert Hoe. Of New
York. The most costly book ever sold al
auction in America was the first edition
of THE Letter Of Columbus published
in Rome in 1893. There are only five
copies Of this little volume and the one
in question brought SL9oe. 1t has only
four leaves in the book, with thirty-four
lines TO the page
Another very rare book in America. or
anywhere else, is Hariots Virginia"
This work is so rare that it can only be
