The best shots in the world are the
Kentucky mountaineers. The west

quickly and shooting accurately the
most expert of frontier bad men
would appear slow and clumsy by the
side of many of these mountain out
laws. They learn to shoot almost as
soon as they graduate from the
cradle. Many of their sports relate to
shooting. The proprietor of the cross

his establishment, where in other To-

Hunt Diamonds in kentuokx.

FROM present indications there is no

Kentucky, says the Glasgow (Ky.)
correspondent to the Nashville
american" For many years those
versed in such matters have insisted
that this State offered flattering pros
poets for diamond mining, but CAPT
tallsts were timid, and it has taken
a long process of reasoning to get
them interested. At last the work is
iairly under way, and the results will

began an exhaustive test of the Ken
lucky khnberlite deposits, which geo
iogists say are practically indentical
with the Divine pyroXiue rock in the
kimberley fields in South Africa.
Elliott county is the first and only
place in the United States which has
made an effort to determine the pos
sibilities of diamond mining in this
country. Most of the finds so far have
been in alluvial deposits, and one of
the best was 24-karat stone of fine
quality picked up in Virginia some
90 years ago, but the source of those
mas never been found. Biologists be-
lieve that the wholesale washing
operations will determine whether
these deposits carry true gems and in
paying qualities.

A Kine's Extravaoances.


King Leopold's denials of the story
that he has accumulated a colossal for
tune through those rubber farming
enterprises which have brought down
such storm of obloquy upon his head,
are probably quite justified 1t is true
that he has derived great revenue
from his African ventures; but it is
equally true that he has spent most
of the money thus received, and that
little or none of it remains in his
Golfers.
1t is ridiculous, however, to assert
that he has squandered it all in shame.
ful profligacies, although, of course
his private life, even in his old age
is very far from being above re-

in unsuccessful speculations, and the
remainder in building operations OF
such eXtravagances as to convey the
idea that the king, in this respect al
least, is slightly unbalanced.
