THE MYSTERIOUS DIAMOND
STRANGER TO EARTH, 1T Ere
QUENTLY BRINGS TRAGEDY.
Black Diamonds From the Skies.
Found in Meteorites Fallen in
Arizona and Chile.

From Everybody's Magazine.
AS a substance, the diamond is one of
the mysteries of nature, one Of the de-
spairs of science. Nobody knows
whence it came, nor how-whether it is a
spark from a comets tail, or a crystal
lized drop squeezed in some horrible in
tensity Of fiery convulsion from the white
hot insurgent heart of the earth. Nobody
knows much about it at all, except that 1t
doesn't belong to this world.
Some known black diamonds literally
were from the skies. They came imbedded
in meteorites cast upon Arizona and Chile
by an unidentified star. One does not
prospect for chips Of stars. AS well
search for the end of the' rainbow.
Neither is it practical to hammer all sorts
Of eruptive rock and conglomerate wher-
ever come upon. Earthquake or volcanic
upheaval districts are not, necessarily,
the most promising. for often diamonds
that seem to have had volcanic origin
occur thousands of miles from the proba-
bic place of eXtruSon-carried thence, 1t
is assumed, by glacial drift in some far
back geological time.

Georgia Pine Doomed.
he National MAGAZINE,

From the National Magazine
That the greater part of Georgia's pine
is irretrievably doomed is incontroverti-
Bile. But 1t is a doom that has been
made necessary by the demand Of indus
try, and is to be regretted only from a
point Of sentimentality. Reforestation
for the most part is out of the question,
and even II practical. would be unwise.
In the first place. the Georgia long-leafed
pine has the unhappy faculty OF seldom
reproducing itself true to the parent tree,
the second-growth pine being smaller,
sappier. knottier, and In every way an
inferior tree: in the second, the pine lands
of Georgia have q far greater future as
farms than forests. 1t must be remem-
bered, too, that the great west has prac-
tically no timber. and yet Its lands are
vastly more valuable than the timber

The Magic Of Irrigation.
From the National Magazine

After a long. hot sweep across arid
wastes. dotted he.e and there with irri
cation GASES. we entered Idaho. Follow
ing the winding Snake river the great
scheme Of reclamation unfolded itself be-
fore our eyes and the deserted sage
brush land of a few years ago was now
glowing with ripened grain
The most noticeable feature Of advance
ment in the West, to my mind, is the
growth of trees. It Is a delight to see
waving boughs dotting what was once
waste prairie, and one wonders why
people don't spend every spare minute
planting trees-every tree adds so much
to the value Of acreage and an attract
iveness to country life that nothing else
can furnish. Growing trees have a IA
vorable effect on climatic conditions, and
those planted in this locality have already
proved a benefit beyond calculation.

The detective had just discovered
that the safe looked as if it had been
rifled and that the watch chain of the
younger victim had been broken near
the b%uttonhole of the vest, when the
door opened and a police lieutenant
and a patrolman came in, followed by
the medical examiner. While the po-
liceman, after searching the bodies
with their eyes, began an inventory
OF the Office, the doctor gave the older
victim one glance and then bent over
the younger.
In fact the young man soon sighed
and moved slightly, as a result of the
physicians attentions. and presently
was able to talk. Then the lieutenant
asked him:

Maryland, following the recent lead
Of Pennsylvania, is moving to abolish
toll roads. Gov. Crothers has ex-
pressed the hope that before his term
is ended every tollgate in the state
will be abolished and every road free.
He believes that the work of the good
roads commission will ultimately re-
suit in wiping out the gates. "The toll
gate" says the governor, "is not Of
this age and has no proper place in
this time. 1t is ridiculous to think Of
charging people money for coming to
your city"
