H0ARDED GOLD IN CHINA

Sales of gold have undoubtedly been
made by the Chinese authorities and
from cables which are now coming to
hand from China it would seem that
there is some prospect of the move
ment assuming rather large proper
tons. No one has ever known the
extent Of the boarded wealth of the
late Empress Dowager, though all
kinds of rumors have been current as
to the accumulation of colossal sums.
Now that by reason Of the present
disturbed condition Of the country the
meeting Of the interest charge on the
debt must impose considerable strain
it would certainly not be surprising If
sales were effected of some Of the
boarded gold il only with to object
of facilitating the prompt payment Of
the coupons On the foreign debt, a

DIAMOND CLEANING

The art Of 1apMary is one OF the
most delicate employments OF mechan-
ical force known. The practlcal oia"
Imond cutter learns many facts ABOUT
precious stones which are sealed DOCKS
even to mineralogists.
For instance, it is the lapldarles
who have found out that diamonds
coming from the different districts
vary remarkably in their degrees or
hardness. It appears that the hardest
diamonds come from New South
Wales. An unfamiliar fact is that dia-
monds are made to assume approx
mately the required shape by sitting
and cleaving and by 'bruting," which
is the rubbing of one diamond against
another, before they are submitted to
the polishing wheel In cleaving the
diamond is cemented On the end Of a
wooden stick, and a stesl blade is driv-
en- with a smart blow p the direction
OF the natural plane ofcleavage. Dia-
monds that have been cut by the lapi-
dary's wheel lack some of the bril-
lance possessed by those that have
simply been cleaVed.

AFRICANS WHO EAT CLAY

Natives Of West Africa, in French
Sudan. practiceaag eophagy. Although
the practice is common in many parts
of the world, this particular case is
remarkable for the systematic way in
which the dirt is collected, and for
the fact that it occurs in well cu1ti-
waited region, where food is abundant.
The earth consumed is a clay, which
is found intercalated among the grits
of the region in beds Of various thick
ness. The deeper layers are preferred
and for this reason the natives dig
galleries, which are so crudely con-
structed that falls of earth frequently
occur, sometimes with fatal results.
When an unlucky miner is thus buried
no attempt is made sagrescue him, as
it is believed that the divinities of the
mines require an annual victim. It is
stated that individuals not infrequent,
ly consume seven and a half pounds
of clay daily.

BRIDGE LIKE AN g" x. !"

In GAINESVILLE, O., there has been
"Y" shaped bridge in use for a long
time, and now the proposition of erect
ing an "x'' shaped bridge over the
Seine is being considered. AS mat
ter Of fact, the idea has been prac-
tically adopted, the only difficulty be-
ing the lack Of money, and II this IS
successfully looked after the bridge
will be built. One great advantage OF
such structure is the fact that one
pier in the middle of the stream sup
norts both structures, while II two
bridges were built the difficulties OF
navigating the stream would be In
creased.

CHINESE SEAWEED AS FOOD.

Freer commercial contact with China
may quite possibly introduce into our
table menus varieties Of spicy concoc-
lions from seaweed About 100 nutri-
tive kinds Of seaweed are in daily con-
sumption in the far east and the cult1-
walton of seaweed crops is regularly
maintained. More than 100000 worth
Of one preparation alone is consumed
every year in China in the form OF
dried gums which can be liquefed IN
to delicate jellies. In Europe seaWeed
has not been at all considerably used
fer food, though blancmanges. Salads
green vegetables and a sort of tapl-
oca fluid have been forms in which
Scotch, Irish and Mediterranean peas
ants have partaken of the substances
Of seaweed. In certain parts Of Japan
seaweed is subjected to careful cultl-
walton, competing species being sup
pressed and rocks previously planted
with the weed, being sunk in suitable
bays.

NERVES OF FISHES.

After study of "The Effects Of Ex-
plosive Sounds, Such as Those Pro
duced by Motor-boats and Guns, upon
Fishes DR.. G. H. Parker, professor OF
zoology at Harvard, has reported to
the United States bureau Of fisheries.
He says his Investigation leads him to
believe that artificial noises, If ap-
propriate in character, might attract
fishes. for sound, even when disagree
able, to the human ear. is not OF neces-
sity always disturbing to fishes, and
might even serve as lure" and re.
ports these general conclusions: The
sounds produced by motor-boats are
extremely faint under water, and have
little influence on the movements and
feeding Of fishes"

MAKING A NEW WORLD.

The planet JupiteyI whose volume is
1879 times that Of the earth, and SUI
perior In dimensions and weight to all
the other planets put together, is just
now attracting the attention of as
tronomers. M. Giacobini of the Paris
observatory, who has made a special
study OF Jupiter, has described red
spot which possesses relative tix1ty,
but within the last year its mobility
has increased to great proportions, ana
it's longitude by about 30 degrees.
That is all that we can say scientlfl-
cally. Is it really the formation OF
new continent? Car we draw this de-
duction from this plsaomenon SO din
cult to seize? 1t is possible. but VINO
can say SO with certainty? M. Camille
Flammarion, however, expresses him.

toward the expense of her wedding
outfit and a few days later arrived to
claim his bride.
There was still the divorce to be OBJ
tanned, however. Ray paid all the ex-
penses of Mrs. DeWitt's side of the
case and sat in court during the hear
ing. It had been planned to have the
wedding here, but when Judge Sapp
prohibited Mrs. Dewitt from marry
ing again for six months that caused a
change in the plans.
A reception was given instead of
the wedding, so the guests were not
entirely disappointed. Preparations
We're made at once to start to Califor-
MIA where the ceremony would be per-
formed.
'.But couldn't think Of going way
out there and leaving mother at home
alone" said Mrs. Dewitt. We'll take
mother right along with u.s. replied
Mr.. Ray,
A number of friends gathered at the
house to wish the party pleasant
iourne1 And then Mrs. Dewitt and
Ray quarreled.
Mrs. Dewitt said Mr.. Ray was a
"jay," that she would not walk down
street with him, let alone be married
to him. Mr.. Ray took the first train
for California after having turned in
the two tickets to Holtville which he
had purchased for his prospective
wife and mother-in-law.

BURN STACK OF PROPOSALS

A small roomful of letters, each one
containing some bachelors yearning
plea for a mate, were burned the 9TH
err at Santa Monica, Cal, by order OF
the mayors advisory council OF wom-
en-. Thus ended a matrimonial furry
which was started accidentally, when
it became known that there We're fifty
widows in Santa Monica who held the
balance Of power politically. The story
Of the ascendency of the widows In
Santa Monica reached the ears OF the
Oatman Bachelors club Of Oatman,
Ariz., which at once forwarded a pro-
posal to marry the fifty. Lonely bach
elors elsewhere fastened to enter
their offers, and finally letters began
arriving by hundreds. All the letters
were stacked in a storerpoR.. and all
destroyed without even having been
brought to the notice Of any msteless
woman.
