OCEAN TRAVEL.

The fact that nearly 1000 first
cabin passengers left New York during
recent week shows how hlgn the
tide of ocean travel has risen THIS
summer. The companies were EVIL
IDENTIFY justified in their anticipation
of busy season. In fact, Tor seVeral
weeks it has been impossible to get
berth on any ship, except where plans
were changed and accommodations re-
sold. The figures for the year since
January l reveal a steady increase IN
all classes of travel over the CORE
spending period of last year. Tnusflh
west bound ships the increase IN hrs1-
class passengers has been 2,340, IN
second-class, 20,715, and in steerage'
72,577, while in east-bound ships the
flrst-class figures go up 1909, the sec
ond.class 1860, and the steerage To-
180. Later In the season, of course,
the balance will be restored by the
returning Americans in the first class
and by the larger number of steerage
passengers bound for their native
lands. The record in every respect is
remarkable as a demonstration Of the
fact that the sea is no longer an ap-
,preciable barrier to international In
tercourse.

The large diamond found at the
Premier mine in South Africa Is de-
Bcribed as weighing more than l91
carats. 1t is a pure white, flawless
stone, two inches long and about
three-quarters of an inch thick. Any
diamond weighing upward of lou
carats and free from flaw IS sure to
attract wide attention, because there
are not many. How much the weight
of the present find will be reduced by
cutting Is not stated, but the estimate
Is made that it will be worth 100000,
its present value being about $4,000.
The koh-i-noor is said to have weighed
1914 carats in it's original state; its
present weight Is 102A carats. The
largest section of the Culinan dia.
mond weighs 516k carats; it is 1922
inches long and 1871 inches broad.

Farm produce today Is remunera-
tive, and this helps to make farm life
agreeable. Those who are studying
the economics of the day tell us that
the strength of the nation lies In the
cultivation of the SOIL Farming is no
longer a hand-to-mouth existence. 1t
means independence, often afluence,
but certainly independence.
Calling at farm house, near one Of
the numerous thriving towns Of AL
berta, in Western Canada, the writer
was given a definition Of "indepen-
dence" that was accepted as quite
original. The broad acres Of the farm
er's land had a crop-and a splendid
one, too, by the way-ripening for the
reapers' work. The evenness of the
crop, covering field after field, attract
ed attention, as did also the neatness
of the surroundings, the well-built sub
stantial story.and-a-half log house, and
the wellrounded sides Of the cattle.
His broken English-he was French
Canadian-was easily understandable
and pleasant to listen to. He had
come there from Montreal q year ago,
had paid $40 an acre for the 320-acre
farm, with the little improvement 1t
had. He had never farmed before, yet
his crop was excellent, giving evil
dence as to the quality Of the soil, and
the good Judgment that had been used
In its preparation. And brains count

how he liked it there. he Strengthened
his broad shoulders. and with hand
outstretched towards the waving fields

The idea of securing fire protection
for factories by installing a sprinkling
system fed from tank of water on
the roof is essentially a. good one;
but there should be periodical inspec-
tion of the tank. Many serious acct
dents to buildings lately have been
caused by the rusting out Of the sup
ports of tanks, which fell and burst
through the roof. The latest incident
q. the kind occurred in New York the
other day at the West End theater.
The damage was chiefly by water.
5000 gallons of which dashed through
the building from roof Ito basement,

The girl IS department store
clerk. and on the day of the strange
occurrence she went to work as usual
behind the counter. Her head began
to itch and pain her in a short time,
and, taking another girl into her con-
fdence, Miss Wood went to the dress
ing room, where the hair was taken
down.
Several small red and swollen
splotches were discovered on her
scalp, but little thought was given to
them. Enduring the pain all day, the
girl went home at closing-up time and
told her mother of her discomfort.
The hair was again taken down and
the scalp examined, and drops of blood
with more incisions we're discovered.
The mother then asked for the "rat'

little reptile kept itself hidden In the
