The Cruel Range"

There would appear to lie no season
OF the year in which calamity in some
form does not lie in wait for cattle
left to shift for themselves on the
great plains. In winter they slowly
perish from long-continued cold and
lack OF food, In the spring storms
destroy the young and the less endur-
Ing OF the older stock. Later they
perish from summer and autumnal
droughts. The indications are that
the range steer Is going out of exist
ence in a similarly perverse way.
With him goes the cowboy, the most
picturesque figure OF an immature
Western civilization He gave US
some fine types. Did not Roosevelt
himself develop from a cowboy?
But even Roosevelt today condemns
the range system, with its wasteful
use Of land and its necessary mono
poles, as well as its crueIties. So 1t
will not be long ere the spectacle OF
cattle perishing IN Thousands as the
result of q heartless stem will have

Thinks He Is Poe Reinearnated.

actor believes has chosen his organ

Ing held at central police station
awaiting instructions from relatives
or friends as to what to do with him.
Gilbert spent nearly all night qui.
city in his cell. He kept the station
house keepers busy bringing him
pads OF paper, upon which he wrote
poem after poem, which he declared
were the inspirations from Poe's spir.
1t, which controlled him. He hardly
slept at all, awakening from a mo-
ments doze to start feverishly at
work again, as IL his mind and fin.
gers were dominated by the will of
the dead poet. The police are puz-
zled by the strange delusion that
seems to possess Gilbert. He has
shown no signs Of irritability or vio-
lence. and with the exception of his
inordinate desire to write poetry.
which he said came from Poe, he
seemed a rational young man.-Cin-

LONE FARMER IN AFRICA

mers in the whole of Northwest Rho
desia, a country four times as large
as the state Of New York. Koch is a
pioneer.
He likes the soil and the climate
and Is there to stay. His farm is as
near the equator as the north part of
Central America, but it stands 1000
feet above the sea and the heat is
less oppressive than in many more
southern regions.
A few weeks ago Koch talked to a
convention of farmers in Southern
Rhodesia. They were interested in
his story, for he is the first man COM
petent to give valuable testimony on
the farming conditions beyond the
Zambesi
He told them he had settled on the
surveyed land Of the Cape to Cairo
Railroad, for he knew he could sell

few head Of live stock he roamed
northward, following the stakes of the
surveyors, till he reached a region
that exactly suited him. There he
built little shack, and ebgan to use
the plough and other farming imple-
ments he had brought in his wagon.
Koch says that the best plough land
In the colony is a rich, deep black
loan, found in the valleys and in
patches of from 100 to 1000 acres all
through the country. 1t grows the
finest corn he ever saw.

cotton and potatoes. All crops with
proper cultivation grow splendidly.

round, and he is raising wheat in
winter with success.
A third kind of soil is suitable only
for pasture. Grass grows in abun-
dance, cattle keep in good condition
the year round, and the climate at
that high altitude is mild and pleas
ant.
Koch's faith has been justified.
The Cape to Cairo Railroad has been
built 100 miles beyond his door. The
little station of Kalomo has sprung up
near his farm. He has market for
all he can raise.
He pays native laborefs from $1.25 |
to $3.50 month, and thinks his men
compare fayorably with black labor
in Cape Colony. He has no doubt,
now that the railroad has been COM

SIMPLE DIAMOND TESTS.
A Needle Hole in Card One Means
OF Detecting Imitation BriIliants.

1 " SseShiH9 tHttdtIon 0rtIltdntS.
There are few persons" remarked
jeweller, who are able to pur.
chase a diamond on the strength OF
their own knowledge and observation
and without placing implicit conf.
dence in the man who sells the stone.
1t is a fact that even pawnbrokers
have often been taken in by jewelry
and precious stone fakirs.
Although 1t takes many years of
actual observation and experience be-
fore one can become a diamond ex-
pert, there are a few simple tests
which will considerably aid a buyer
of diamonds. One test is to prick a
needle hole through a card and look
at the hole through the doubtful
stone.
IF the latter is spurious two holes
will be seen, but If it is a diamond
only one hole will be visible. Every
imitation stone which resembles a
diamond gives double reflection,
while the diamonds refraction is
single.
This is delicate test, because It
1t difficult to see even sharp and
defined object through a diamond.
The single refraction of the diamond
also allows one to determine an I'M
certain stone.
eff the finger is placed behind 1t
and viewed through the stone with
a watchmaker's glass, the grain of
the skin will be plainly seen If the
stone is not diamond. But If it is
a diamond the grain of the skin
will not be distinguished at all.
"a diamond in solid settings may be
identified in the same manner. II
genuine, the setting at the back can
not be jiscerned, but If it Is phony
stone the foil or setting will be seen.
There is no acid which has any
effect upon genuine dia-
mond. Hydrofluoric acid, If dropped
on stone made of glass, will cor
rode it. but will not affect a diamond
one way or the other. A trained eye
can see the hardness in diamond,
the limitations appear soft to
the vision of the experts. New York

ORIGIN OF JACKsTONEs

An ancient painting discovered al
Renna represents two women in Greek
costumes playing the game which they
call astralagus. the Greek for buckle
bone. One has evidently just caught
on her hand the bones which she
tossed up, while the other is waiting
to try her skill. This game was no
doubt the beginning Of our game of
jacks.
An English writer says that from
the earliest times buckle bones of
sheep and goats were used by women
and children to play a game, which
consisted of throwing these bones into
the air and catching them on the back
Of the hand.
