 Fascinnting People
 Then, not only Is Montenegro itself fas- oinating, it's people are as fascinating as 1t is: for as race they are extraordi- narily handsome intelligent and kindly. Almost every man one comes across is quite strikirgly good-looking, with beau- tiful coloring. well-cut features and a fine form; almost every man, too, has tho hearing of q soldier, the manners of a prince and-well. he has pistols in hs belt and wears a most picturesque cos tune. The women are not quite so at- tractive, 1t must be admitted, as their husbands; but then they work much hard CT than their husbands do, or so at least it seems, and hard work is detrimental to beauty. Still some of them, too, are quite lovely, and they all wear a charming robe, a sort of long, sleeveless coat of white or pale blue, cloth, over white skirt, and bolero of purple and gold.

RICHES FROM THE WEST,

Nearly third of billion dollars
was added to the wealth of the Unit
ed States from the mineral produce
ton of the western states during
1910, according to the figures Of the
United States geological survey.
This includes about $4,000, OO0
worth of coal, the remaining produce
ton, principally metals having a
value of practically a quarter of a
billion dollars. The total figures Of
western mineral production as COM
piled by the survey are $313,944,SS1.
This is about one-fourth the total
agricultural production of the same
area, the proportion between min
eral and agricultural production be-
ing about the same as for the entire
United States. The agricultural
production of the western states, de-
rived from figures of the department
of agriculture, was approximately
$1,304,791, 900. The area consid-
cred includes the belt from the Da-
kotas south to Texas and the terri
tory westward.

GERMAN AT NIAGARA FALLS
stoIid Visitor Could Not See Anything
Especially Wonderful in the
Great Cataract.

A native of Germany was visiting
an American friend in New York,
and the latter bethought himself to
take his guest on visit to Niagara
Falls. The American, accustomed to
bursts of wonderment and enthusi-
asm, was not a little astonished to
see his Teutonic friend stand and
gaze stolidly minute after minute
upon that roaring cataract, without
evincing the faintest sign of emo
ton. Finally, unable any longer to
conceal his chagrin and disappoint-
ment, the American turned to his
comuanion and asked: Don't you
think that's a wonderful sight ?"
"Vot ?" asked the Dutchman. "Why,
that gigantic body of water pouring
over that lofty precipice." The Ger
man stood for few seconds longer,
until he got the idea digested, then
looked up blankly and asked: 'Vell,
volts to hinder it ?"

DIAMOND BITS ARE COSTLY
Fair Value for tho Eight Needed in
Drilling In Rock Is About
$500.

A diamond bit for rock drilling is
quite an expensive article. Its value.
however, will undergo fluctuations,
dependent upon the price Of the dia-
monds. Perhaps $500 is fair value
for a bit. The diamond used is ex-
ccedingly hard-harder than those
usually used as jewelry. Their carat
price is considerable, averaging, say,
at $50 carat. The diamonds used
will weigh from one to two carats, SO
that eight have value ranging from
$3.50 to $3.50, on the average. The
loss Of bit means so many ola
monds gone and may lead to diff
Guilty with the hole. The diamond is
not tough, but brittle. twill with
stand heavy pressure if applied even
ly and without shock. 1t can read
lily be seen that drilling through
;seamy rock may become quite unfa-
vorable. If there is much quartz
present the abrasion may become ex-
cessive. Under ordinary conditions,
however, the wear on the diamonds,
while considerable, is by no means
prohibitive.-Cassier's Magazine.
