The Worship of Diamonds.

A McGill professor, lecturing on the
diamond the other night, demonstrat-
ed dramatically the well-known fact
that a diamond is merely crystalized
carbon, by burning couple of small
stones in an electric arc. Flakes of
graphite fell from the sides, and the
whole became a mass of coke. Yet
what has not been bought and sold
for diamonds? 1t requires an expert
to tell the difference between some of
the limitations and the real stones.
Paste diamonds are worn to great as
semblies by great ladies while their
genuine jewels repose safely in the
vaults at home. Still, says the Mon
treal Herald, this does not induce 9TH
er ladies, who cannot afford the gen.
uine, to be quite as content with
the paste. If some one were to dis
cover a mine of diamonds and flood
the world with them-if a scientist
should learn how to make them-if,
1t is said, the present diamond miners
were to put on the market all they
could-the value would go down. In
the two former cases it would we'll
nigh disappear. Yet to-day people
will coin the toll of many men fol-
long years into diamonds and weal
them as symbols of wealth. This is
q curious world in some ways. Yet
perhaps, not SO curious. We gen
orally want chiefly to have what 9th
er people cannot have.

BEET GROWERS STAND PAT.
Refuse Contracts That Call for Silo
ina of Beets.

Denyer.-A Greeley special to the
Republican Monday nights says: AS
result of the committee from the
Northern Colorado Beet Growers AS
sociation meeting with G. S. Morey,
president of the sugar company, at
which the sugar company came to no
favorable terms with the beet growers,
the Pleasant valley and Lucerne farm
ers will plant their 1906 beet fields to
potatoes and grain and are fully salts
fed that these crops will ray them far
better than raising beets for the
Eaton factory under the present terms
Of the silo contract.
They will not, however, desist from
raising beets, but will use their beet
chop to feed cattle. Already farmers
in these localities have. signifed their
intention of putting in 500 acres in
beets. The beets sown will be the
varieties of stock beets and also sugar
beets. The cost of raising stock beets,
II Is said, is not one-fourth that of
raising sugar beets for sugar making
and the returns in cattle much higher
than selling to factories. 1t is esti-
mated that a steer eats thirty pounds
of beets q day and that two tons will
fatten one for market and that an
acre of beets with an average yield
will feed from eight to ten steers.
The refusal OF growers in the Pleas
ant valley and Lucerne country to sign
contracts with the sugar company will
bring about the feeding of sheep and
cattle in these localities the coming
fall and farmers there are already max
Ing plans to purchase cattle for feed

Japan's Knowledge Of the World.

The fact is, we suspect, that the

the Opening" Of that country it has

ese public and private business to

Japanese students have been numer-
GUS in almost every civilized land, ac-
quiring not only the general arts and
sciences but also and particularly the
especial knowledge which was to be
gained Of the individual countries thus
visited. This knowledge, says the
New York Tribune, has in turn been
impaired to and has been eagerly
sought by the entire Japanese people.
While the world at large has inter
ested itself in Japan largely because
of its picturesque charm, the Japan
ese have interested themselves in all
the world in the most practical, sys-
tematic and businesslike way. While
we have looked at jinrikishas and

New York.-The state Monday laid
its case against Harry X. Thaw-a

South Carolina Leads in
Both Cotton and Corn. i

Anderson special in the News
and Courier: The state Of South
Carolina leads all other South
ern States in the corn and cotton
crop this year-so says Col. j.
G. Stribling, head of the farmers
Union bureau, In letter to the
Daily Mail, from Little Rock,
Ark, where he is attending the
national meeting of the Farmers
Union. The following is in
part what Col. Stribling wri
tes:
"Advance reports ofcrops and
probable prices to date by the
Farmers Union set South Caro-.
lima ahead Of all Southern States
on both cotton and corn. Our re-
ports from all the unions to Au-
gust 25 average the corn crop at
Isl IL, or nearly double in the
corn sections of the State. Cotton
is 27 points above last year, but
as the scorching weather of the
last ten days has reduced the
prospects for both corn and cot
>toa to a considerable extent, to
day we could not place corn
above ITO and cotton 10 above
last year.
"No doubt Louisiana is the
lowest State on cotton, being be-
low half crop Is days back,
and having gone lower since
with the other states.
"South Cardinals price last
year was fixed at 10 l 4 by our
union, but was pulled down by
better crops in Western cotton
States. This year the reverse OF
conditions will no doubt bring
South Oarolina's average from
14.71 upwards to meet the short
age of the crop and higher prices
set by other States. From pres
ent advance information the av-
erage will be above Is cents.
"rhe South Carolina farmers
are away ahead this year in both
corn and cotton, and if they stand
firm to the Farmers Union pri.
ces this season the Palmetto
State will make a grand "touch-
down away beyond the goa.
line," and good times will
be in store for all the faith
full"
Col. Striblin9 has made q
study of crop conditions all his
life, and his figures can be count
ed upon. He is one of the deles
gates at the national meeting oi
the Union.

Three Chinamen Must Return Even Though They Crossed
 the Line by Mistake,

DOUGLAS, Aug. 17.-(SpeciaL)-
 Three Chinese coolies, hopeless and helpless victims of blunder in crossing the line into the United States in a furious thunder shower two weeks ago, will start back for China shortly, although the desire of United States commissioner and i'm migration officials alike is to let them cross the boundary again and go their appointed way to Cananea. But no thing in the law gives Judge Sames the right to perform this humane act and he signed the deportation order this morning. They will probably leave with a guard for San Francisco
 and China in ten days.

 IS HIT 0N HEAD Station Agent and Nal Clerk Have Fight ai
 Williams
Williams Ne ms.l


 Bad feeling between one of Uncle Sam's mail clerks. running out of Al buquerque to Williams and return, and Hugo Victor. Santa Fe agent at this place, brought about a fracas last Sunday evening which ended in Mir. Victor sustaining a scalp wound. The mail clerk was Don Mechanism.
 The trouble happened while mail was being transferred from the west ern mail car to the eastern car, which stands in the yards here between trains. McClannahan hit Victor over the head with an iron weight hook because, he claims, Victor was in the mail car and refused to get out, the government regulations not allowing outsiders in the car at any time. Under the present arrangements it is necessary to transfer practically all of the mail at Williams. In doing so the Santa Fe railroad is required to l furnish a certain number of men to aid. There are two sides doors to mail cars the Santa Fe is using. Mir | Victor wanted the mail clerks to open l both doors at once and transfer mail
 through both doors at the same time. The mail clerks claim that they, be- | ing responsible for the mail. will not
 allow this, as it is impossible to check
 mail at both doors.
 On Sunday evening last Mir. Victor
 ordered both doors to be opened at once. McClannahan, who was in charge of the car, refused, whereupon Victor jumped into the car and at
 tempted to open the other door. Mo Clannahan ordered him from the car
 and Mir Victor not consentins to get
 out, the trouble ensued.
 Special Officer Patterson was called
 by Mir Victor and told to arrest the mail clerk on e charge of assault and { battery, but the officer decided it would not be best to arrest one oi 7 Uncle Sans men while on duty and advised Mir Victor that such an ac ton would not be possible under the circumstances.
 Upon McClannahan's return, how . ever, on Wednesday, warrant wa! served upon him for assault and bat tery. Bond was placed at S100 ant | promptly furnished.

PATHETIC SCENE
 IN DOUGLAS COURT Two Little Children Wept As Court Gave Them Over to
 Their Sire.

DOUGLAS, Aug. 17.-(Special)-|
 Into the courtroom of Justice Ben Rice this morning walked a man, a woman and two children, the latter hugging closely the side of the wo- man. With them was Policeman Lee Thompson. who is looked to by MeXi- cans of low degree as the informed iary of ali their troubles with the court.
 These people" he said to the judge, '"are in a dispute over these two children. They belong to the man and the woman has no right or claim to them"
 'Very well, then" said Judge Rice, If you know they are the mans, tell hi into take them and go. Tell the woman she must leave the children alone"
 Thompson conveyed the judgment of the court in the case and the quar- tette walked out, the children still | with the woman and the man protuse in thanks. Then developed bit of police court pathos that Eewspapermen and other attendants of those institutions see so often. The man laid hold of the children as if to take them away. But they did not want to leave the wo- man. Only recently their mother died and it must have seemed to their | great, black eyes, blazing out from the | tawny surrounding flesh, that in the woman with whom they were was something that reminded them of their mother, who had passed away but whose going their childish minds could not grasp. And they wept and clung to the skirts of the woman, re
 polling the efforts of their father to take them away from her. And the
 more he tried the louder they wept and the more pitiable-to the spec tator-became their condition.
 But the father soon desisted. He | would not continue the scene on the street further, he said. He would
 wait until a cab should come by and then he would take them to his home
 and would provide for them. And presently he did.
