Secretary Knox IL a little man, with

he is rapidly establishing reputation
for short-arm jolt diplomacy.
Secretary Root was different. His roc

described in pugilistic terms at all. He
was analytical. He took up a situation
and scrutinized it and picked il to pieces
and put il together again. Then he
waited for the natural processes Of prog

he was on the spot to grab the result
and use It for his own purposes.

body directed to notify Mr.. Taft that
the House was in session were by the
appointment of the speaker, the Re-
publican leader, Serene E. Payne, and
the Democratic leader, Champ Clark.
The first day in the House as usual
brought out hundreds Of legislative
measures in bill form, all of which
were read by their title only and then
referred to the proper committees. 1t
was evident from the tone of the bills
introduced that some scores Of rep
resentatives were anxious to father
measures which had been recommend
ed by President Taft as being neces-
sary to carry out proposed policies
of progression. The bills ranged from
those intended to correct alleged ex-
listing evils in interstate commerce to
those to give increases Of pensions to
veterans of the civil war.

Tests of Diamonds.

Most persons are obliged, In the
purchase of a diamond, to rely i'm.
plicitly upon the word of the man who
sells the stone. While many years OF
observation and experience are needed
to become an expert with respect
to the value and purity of diamonds,
yet there are certain extremely SIM
pie tests capable of being made by the
most inexperienced.
One is by means of a needle hole
pricked through piece of ordinary
cardboard Looking through the stone
tested at the cardboard, one will see
two holes if the diamond be spurious
only one if the gem be genuine. The
reason for this is that an imitation
diamond will give double refraction,
the real stone but one refraction.
1t is claimed that there is no acid
having any perceptib'e effect upon a
genuine diamond. Hydrofiuoric acid
will, if dropped upon a stone made of
glass, corrode it, but upon the bona
fide stone it will have no effect at all.

esthetic culture, as has been charged
so frequently, the recent agitation in
Germany, promulgated by DR.. Wilhelm
Bode, general director of the Royal
Art museums at Berlin, and one of the
foremost art cOnnoisseurs of the
world, should set at rest all doubts.
DR.. Bode sees a dire menace to the art
treasures Of Europe in the wide-opsn
purses of American miljionaires and,
in anticipation of widespread exodus
of masterpieces when our new tariff
schedule, admitting works of art more

LOSSES FROM THE BOIL wEEvIL.

The bulletin of the department Of
agriculture on the Mexican boil weevii
sheds very little new light on the sub
ject. No remedy has been found for
that most voracious and destructive
insect; and the department merely re-
iterates its recommendation with re-
gard to the burning of the cotton
stalks and the work during the winter
looking to keep down the pest-points
upon which the southern farmers have
been well instructed of late, and which
they are thoroughly carrying out. The
only gratifying part Of the bulletin is
the estimate that the amount of dam
age caused by the weevil is $25, 100000.
This is the figure given two and three
years ago, when the weevil was re-
stricted to Texas. The damage had
grown from year to year up to that
time, and it was expected that it would
continue to grow as the weevil spread
eastward, until it rose to a heavy pro-
portion of the crop. In spite of this
spread of the pest, the total loss re"
mains the same, amounting to not
more than four per cent of the crop.
OF course, some localities-and Louisi-
ana most of all-has suffered more,
but the cotton crop as a whole is not
materially reduced by the weeVil, and
the amount it returns to the southern
farmers will be very little cut down.

Secretary Wilson, who has been
touring New York state investigating
the condition and causes of aban-
doned farms, says that the trouble is
with the farming and not with the
farms. The soil is not exhausted.
Profitable crops are possible. Scien-
tific knowledge and work are the
essentials. Scientific agriculture in
the so-called manufacturing states
where proximity to urban centers
with their markets adds to the value
of any crop deserves to be recognized
as one of the most important phases
of the conservation of resources and
of relief from the present burden
some cost of living. The challenger
of the beef trust, the dairy product
trust, the poultry and egg trust is not
the legislator, but the small farmer
who is an independent and cannot be
bought up.
