NOT STARTING, BUT ARRIVING.

Doctor Mather believed that birds
flew i'm their migrations to an undis-
covered satellite, little moon that
had never been discovered, but was
only short distance from the earth.
But it is marvellous how bird knows
just when to migrate, for it times
its migration, not to the exact day
of the year but to the exactly right
season to arrive when the fruits or
seeds or insects, for which it is Wild
hungry; are exactly ready for bird
bill of fare. No migrating bird is
ever cheated or mistaken like people
and almanac makers by late bad sea-
sons, for if the season is late Mr..
Bird arrives late to suit. How can
robin in Canada, hundreds of miles
away, tell to day when the first
fruits of Louisiana are on tap?

DIAMOND MINES IN AMERICA
"Pipes" Of Pike County, Arkansas
Only Place In America Where
Gems Are Found.

After looking over the peach or
chard, Mr.. Bemis drove on to the
diamond mines. How expectantly
we looked forward to that spot upon
which the attention of all America -
yes, of the whole world has recent
ly beer turnedl No other spot. on
the American continent is quite like
it. Nowhere in America have dia-
monds been found in peridotite save
right here in the pipes" of Pike
county.
As we reached the edge of the
once volcanic crater, two broken,
precipitous hills of rock stood senti-
mel, one on the right and the other
on the left. There was something
about the place that had a ghostly,
uncanny aspect, for the evidence Of
a volcanic upheaval here was surely
manifest Passing between the hill
locks, we were upon the crater, the
surface of which was generally level,
though washed somewhat 10y streams
and brooks, and the soil showed va
ration from black, about the color
of peat, to a light yellow and yellow
ish green. The "peridotitc" or
"Kimberlite," as the mineral OF the
volcanic pipe is called, extends yerti-
cally downward through the volcanic
vent to incalculable depths. Nor
mally it is blush color, and hard
like clay or shale; but near to the
surface the original blue changes to
a greenish hue, which in turn, by ac-
tion of the air and elements, turns
yellow; and finally, by long exposure
to the sun and rain, and mixing
with extrancous matter the mineral
is thoroughly disintcgrated, and be-
comes black. Already upwards of a
thousand diamonds have been found
on the several distinct diamond
"pipcs" which are being opened up
near Murfreesboro.-Tn '"The Awak-
ening of Arkansas" National Maya

SAID SOMETHING.

On board an ocean liner were
lady and gentleman, accompanied by
their young hopeful, aged six, and,
as is usually the case, the parents
were very sick, while little Willie
was the wellest thing on board. One
day the parents were lying in their
steamer chairs hoping that they
would die, and little Willie was play
ing about the deck.
Willie did something of which
his mother did not approve, so she
said to her husband John, please
speak to Willie" The husband.
with the little strength left in his
wasted form, looked at his son and
heir and feebly muttered: "How'dy
do, Willie"

the baby while it stole the dinner.

that it would never return and gave
every evidence of having lost its only

DIR. Cook.

There is no mistaking that Dr.. Freder-
lex y. Cook, whatever may have been his
achievements or experiences in the wild
= places of the earth, the cold places and
the high places, is a man Of remarkable
nerve. When just a year ago his So
called proofs of polar discovery were
formally rejected by the University o,
Copenhagen. after it had extended to him
the highest honors, it was the general
verdict that he would probably never re-
appear under his own name from the Sc
clusion into which he SO swiftly sank
There appeared TO be no possible future
Tor him. Yet here he Is. frankly present
Ing himself in New York fully avoWine
his identity. blandly discussing his posi-
ton as a discredited claimant, acknowl-
edging that possibly he was mistaken as
10 his attainment of the point of no lonsi-
tude, but vigorously insisting that he did
in fact climb Mount Mckinley despite all
assertions to the contrary. There is
every evidence that DR.. Cook has no in
tention to subside into obscurity, and it
Is singular fact that he has already
Won for himself n certain degree of Gre
dence and following. possibly attracted
by his undeniable charm of personality.
1t is idle to speculate as to Dr. Cook $
future. as idle profitless. 1t is really
OF no moment now to the world what he
thinks or says or docs. He can never
rehabilitate himself In scientific esteem,
and doubtless by a large majority OF peo-
pie he will be always regarded as an un.
mitigated faker, though there may be a
difference Of opinion as to his motive.
The fact that he conducted his campaign
Ut publicity for profit for several weeks
and reaped a rich harvest will never be
forgiven by those who for the time believed
in him, and especially those who con-
trtbuted to the fortune which he gath
cred in his brief career as a public enter
tainer. Yet there will always be a GER
tain degree of admiration for the clever
ness OF the man. for his adroitness I'm
bamboozling even the learned men of
Denmark and of this country. He might
turn his experiences to account now by
taking the lecture platform and telling
now he did II. Whatever else is thought
Ut him, it is certain that he is still inter-
esting as a singular variation Of the hu-
man theme.

Protection,

GoV.-elect FosS announces that he is
protectionist with a reciprocity attach
ment. So was James G. Blaine. So was
William Mckinley. So was Nelson Ding
ley. Had Mr.. Foss declared against pro-
lection as a Notwithstanding wrong
in itself and injurious to the country-he
would not I'm his race for Congress last
spring have been successful, and, losing
that race, would not of course have been
thought Of for governor. He is not eli
gible for membership in the straiShtout
multiplication club.
James Smith, jr., of New jersey, who
has just announced for the Senate, de-
clares for downward revision Of the
tariff, but with due regard to the con-
servation of our industrial interests and
THE welfare of our wage-earners.' Pro-
lection. Nothing else. And no new posi-
ton for Mr.. Smith to take. He held to
the same doctrine when he was i'm the
Senate in the early nineties and helped
Mr.. German recast the Wilson bill. When
denounced for their action, Mr.. German
and his lieutenants defended themselves
by saying that all legitimate American
interests were entitled to consideration in
the matter OF raising revenue for the sup
port of the government. Mr.. Smith and
Mr.. Foss are in accord on the tariff
question.
Is there any authority for assigning
Gov.-elect Dix to a place among the anti
protectionistS according to present divi-
sions? His business record does not show
it. There is no deliverance of his as a
candidate, or since his success in Noyem-
Der, which commits him to the proposition
that protection is robbery under the forms
OF law. He will not be called upon to
deal with the subject as Governor of New
York, but his attitude is Of interest in
connection with the speculation aaociat-
ing his name with the presidency.
AS for the democratic members of the
present House who will appear also i'm
the next House, all are on record, and
the majority In favor OF protection. The
question was presented to them while the
Payne bill was under discussion, and
wherever the interests Of their constitu-
ents were involved they voted for protec-
ton duties. They acted on Gen. Han
cocks dictum, and accepted the tariff as
local question.
Business men need not fear a free-tradc
crusade. 1t is neither at hand. nor on
the way. Campaign cxtravagances are
one thing. Legislation is another, and a
very different, thing. Protection is with
us. and will remain for many years to
come. regardless Of landslides to one
party Or the other.

Concerning Mormonism.
From the Los Angeles Times.

When men are engaged in either re-
liSiouS or a political crusade they do not
always take the trouble to verify the
| truth of the information upon the basis
of which they attack their opponents.
They disregard the maxim which declares
that even the devil Is entitled to receive
his due. Since the election some OF the
New England insurgent newspapers have
dropped their assaults on Uncle Joe Cam
non for the tire being and trained their
guns on the MOrmons. 1t is asserted
that these whilOm ucVOtees of inordinate
domestic felicity have not. since Utah
achieved statehood abided by the promise
which they then gave to abandon polyg-
amy, but have to ii certain extent re-
sumed its practice This assertion is
strongly denied by the Latter Day Saints.
They say that it is absolutely untrue.
They admit il was only after twenty
years of desperate struggle that they
abandoned polygamy as n practice, and
they claim that when they did surrender
it they did SO publicly. regretfuly, wrath
fully, but earnestly and in good faith.
They claim that since statehood there
has not been single pOlygamouS mar
riage solemnizcd in Utah. There is, of
course. no way of verifying the truth of
their statement, but on the other hand
there does not seem to have been any
evidence advanced to cOntrovcrt it.
