Presented to Kino Edward.


Presented to King Edward.
The Cullinan diamond was presented
to King Edward by the South African
states. including the former Boer re-
publics. as token of peace and re-
conciliation. The price paid for 1t has
been stated in various figures and as
high as $1,000.000. Even that sum is
far below it's theoretical value. At
great cost the huge stone was cut into
two gems, which now ornament the
British regalla.
The stone was found by the merest
chance. The days work at the Pre-
mier mine was over. and Frederick
Wells, the surface manager. was max
ing his usual rounds.
CHANGING along one side of the deep
excavation, his eye suddenly caught
the gleam OF brilliant object far up
climbing up to the spot where he had
noted the CLINT of light. He had not
been mistaken; it was really a bril-
liant crystal. He tried to pull 1t out
with his fingers and as this proved
impossible he sought to pry it out
with the blade of his penknife. To his
surprise the knife blade broke without
causing the stone to yield.
Finder Thought 1t Joke.
Telling of his discovery Mr.. Wells
said: "When | took a good look at the
stone stuck there in the side of the
pit it suddenly flashed across me that
| had gone insane-that the whole
thing was imaginary. / knew it could
not be a diamond. All at once anoth-
er solution dawned ON me. Some prac-
tical joker. thought l, has planted this
huge chunk of glass here for me to
find it,
With the aid of a larger blade of his
knife he finally succeeded in prying
out the stone and carried it to the
mines office. Here 1t was cleaned,
md, to the astonishment of all, it was
found to have weight of 3.024 carats,
more than three times that of any 9th
er diamond that had been discovered.

BOYS TAKE A BACK SEAT
Spelling Contests Held in New Orleans
Prove Girls Superior to Their
Brothers,

The result of the spelling contests
In the New Orleans public schools
again demonstrates the superior pro-
ficiency of the girls, practically all Of
the victors being members of the
9entler Sex. Last year the same thing
was true and the matter was quite
generally commented on In the press
and at gatherings where educational
subjects were discussed.
So far as our Information goes there
have been no contests to determine
the pupils in other branches of study.
but it would be interesting to know
II this feminine superiority is found
to exist in all studies. or if they are
confined only to particular branches
Doubtless this result is due in part to
the fact that the female mind ripens
at an earlier age than Is the case with
the masculine mind. although there Is
little doubt that the feminine intel
iect along certain lines is more acute
than tho masculine. which would seen
to Justify the conclusion that certain
branches of study are more readily
mastered by girls and women.
IN view of the growing number of
young women that are going into 20
sitions as stenographers. typewritists
and other positions requiring an &C
curate knowledge of spelling. this dem
onstrated proficiency is most crafty
ing. The public school administra-
ton is to be commended upon the ef-
forts 1t has made to improve the
spelling of the public school pupils
and the triumphant girls to be con-
graduated upon their easy victory
over the boys.

having no interest In common with
the shippers" Inasmuch as my con-
Germ shipped an average Of $780, 900 tons
Of finished product during 1906 and
1907. and We were obliged to receive
more than $50. 200 tons of iron to fur
nish this. plus enormous quantities Of
coke. coal and other supplies. I can
safely claim to have shipped in and
out 10000 tons a year. and as there
are no railroads who can afford to haul
this material. or any part of 1t. without
having a revenue from 1t. an increase
of 10 cents a ton on my hauling charge
would amount to $4,000 and. there
fore. l have business" interests In CON-
mon with other shippers" The $4,000
tons of finished product shipped repre-
scented in the neighborhood Of $l0.OO0.-
900. This 100000 represented most
ly labor. with the exception of the
cost of the ore and coal in the mines.
All the balance was made up of wages
and profit ON the different conditions
of the raw material until 1t was fin
ished product.
My Illinois plants produced 60 per
cent Of this amount. or 100000 a
year. For three years our Chicago
plants have not run more than haff
capacity. Therefore. there was $1,000
600 a year less in distribution because
of corresponding shrinkage in sales.
AS most of our iron and coal comes
from Illinois. this 100000 a year was
not distributed In Chicago. as would
have been the case had We worked on
the same output that We did in 1906
and 1907. And a great deal of that
100000 which was not paid was
taken out of the business firms stu.
ated in or near Chicago by the non.
purchases from their varied business
on the part of the community that
would have received the 100000
year for three years. That is the rea-
son why l have a right. as a business
man. to deprecate any unfair or un-
obstacles that are placed In
the way of my business and the bur.
dred other varieties of business In this |
that are affected by the money |
put into circulation by the railroads. |
When it is further considered that my |
business constitutes but 10 per cent |
Of the cost Of car and that there |
were nine other units similarly affect |
ed. most of which would have been |
tributary to Chicago. anyone can see
how important 1t Is to his individual /
interests that the railroad companies
should have ample funds to make these
and purchases. and will
realize how comparatively easy 1t will
be to stand a reasonable advance on
he freight for any material he will
need. If he Is receiving increased

Fl. headed Back Fire on the Shippers
In which you make the following state
ments: First. that my representation
OF the case Is not candid; second. that
what did have to say was based upon
the action of the shippers conference,
and. third. that had no right to pose
as business man having interests In
common with the shippers.
The circulation for signatures of q
statement relating to freight rates was.

ness association. and no reference was
made to the shippers conference I
personally attended this conference
and have no criticism to make on any,
thing that was done there and none
was made or intended by me. but what
deprecated" was contained In an ar
ticle sent out by the Illinois Manufac-
turers' Association. dated May Z. and.
as a member of that Association.
personally wrote a letter to each of its
individual members. dated May II. In
this l referred to the misleading and
unfair statements contained in the
circular of May mentioned above. and
In doing SO I was candid" I said
that the statement that railroads are
rapidly increasing their net earnings"
was not true and as to the correctness
Of my statement l beg to refer to the
following:
The latest interstate commerce COM
mission reports show that during the
month of March eleven systems. repre-
senting every railroad north and west
on line drawn through Chicago and
St Louis. show an increase in gross
earnings for the month of March. of
nearly 100000 compared with March.
1909. while the net earnings for the
same roads in the same period show
a decrease of $685.. 000: and the inter-
state commerce commission figures for
the ten months. July to March 81. in
1910. as compared with 1909. show an
Increase in gross of over $4,000. 900,
while the net earnings of these same
systems In the same period of compari-
son. show falling on of over $780,
600. And. as comparatively little of
the increases In wages had even gone
into effect during March. the railroads
must provide some means to increase
q revenue that Is already decreasing
on an increased amount Of business.
and there is no way for railroads to
provide this except by increasing their
rates. and surely there Is reason for
the need of it."

ond page OF this Illinois Manufac-
turers' Association circular of May
