test lay just there.
The smuggling Of diamonds OUT u
German Southwest Africa appears 10 De
one of the few paying enterprises OF
that innperiaI colony. The smugglers are
on their way to Europe. But what Is the
ultimate destination of the stones

The Paris Figaro" is wisely ag1tat-
ing the question of reduced postage
ARA ngement between France and Eng
land, similar to that already existing
between England and the United States.
While it takes only two cents 10 carry
a letter from England to this country,
and vice versa, it costs five cents TO
send one across the Channel to France.
The Figaro" contents itself for the mo-
ment with the suggestion of an inter
mediate letter rate of three or four
cents. France has already a domestic
hostage ARRANGEMENT with Luxembourg,

DR.. Juan Guiteras and DR.. Ronald
Ross have been discussing in the col
umns of ''The London Lancet the credit
due to those who merely suggest g. pos
sib1e cause of disease. like the RESPONSE
bility Of the mosquito for malaria, and
to those who prove the correctness of
the surmise. For the latter class Of
work Nobel prizes were awarded to
Koch, Ross, Laveran. and possibly
others, but We do not remember any
