Then he was confronted with Pizzichemi and Mat tio who were in Chief Robbins car having been captured by him and his men near Bil1berry swamp and the trio hustled away to the fire house dr1 in until later removed to Police head quarters at Bridgeport.
 It is generally conceded here that every house in the outskirts should be provided with firearms and that the women who are obliged to be alone at times should be instructed in their use. A loaded shot gun in the hands of a determined woman will dissuade the most desperate marauder. Hereto fore it has not been the custom for all the onsta.bles elected to qualify. It is now pointed out that not only every constable elected qualify but there should be additional officers ap-

 Their advance was not rapid, it was stated for the soldiers were entrench- ing as they advanced, but it was steady. The Turks continued to re- sists stubborn1y but were being forced from position after position.
 At some points along their line, it was said the Bu1garians were within three miles of the main forts of Ad- rianop1e. News of an attempt to expected by the people of Sofia.
 Foreign military attaches and ex- perfenced war correspondents here are inclined to think, however, that will follow. Adrianople Qualifications are immensely strong, they pointed out, and the defenders would prob ably annihilate any who tried to rush them An outburst of rejoicing which ensued, last night, upon the announce Inent of the Bulgarian capture of Kirk Kiiisseh began to give way to sad ness, today, as it began to be realized at what a price the victory was pur- chased. No official figures were ob- tainable but it was reported that be- tween 5000 and 4,O0aN Bulgarians were killed and many more than that wounded. The hills, as one message expressed, ''are covered with cOrpses.'' 9

DIAMOND FIELD OF BAHIA
In Some Places Gems Are Taken Di.
 rectly From Rock
From the London Times.

From the London Times. 3k1
 The diamond field of Bahia is situated to the north and slightly to the east of Diamantina. and Is about 500 kilometres (S75 miles) from It in a straight line. The diamond-bearing rocks. known locally as the Lavras series, have total thickness of 2000 feet. and are supposed to belong to the same age and formation as the coal bearing (carboniferous) rocks of this country. The principal diamond-bearing rock deposits extend over a wide area in the interior of Bahia. They are usu- ally more or less folded, the folds In some places being extremely gentle and in others greatly distorted, especially in the mountains west of Gruna. where the beds are very greatly contorted and faulted. and can. therefore, be easily recognized. These diamond-bearing rocks are mainly pinkish quartzitic sandstones and con glomerates; the pink color appears to be characteristic of the deposits everywhere, except In exposed situations. where the surface has been. greatly weathered. The formation may also be recognized by it's composition. which consists of nearly 9S per cent of silica and of nearly per cent of oxides of iron and alumina.
 The ma iority of the diamond washings in Bahia are in stream beds and alluvial deposits, the wear and tear of the rocks mentioned above, to which they can be obviously traced. Tn numerous places the diamonds and carbonados occur in allu- vial deposits formed by streams that flow only over the Lavras, or the diamond bearing rocks. as in the vicinity of Morro do Chapeo and al Campinas. In some of the most productive areas the alluvial deposits have been long exhausted, and the miners now obtain the stones directly from the disintesratins parent rock. Be- tween Lencoes and Andarahy the rock has been found so productive that the min CTS have removed the disntegrating rock down to where 1t is so har- that 1t can not be removed with the appliances at their disposal. At another point Cven- tura) the diamonds are found in gravels that rest upon shades (called caboclo). The. valley is narrow, the Lavras rocks form the tops of the hills on two sides, north and west, and the river itself flows over similar rocks. so that there can be no doubt of the source from which the diamonds have come. Washing for dia- monds is the usual practice, the fine heavy waste material being left in the bottom of the wooden ba teas.
