SOUTH AFRICAN DIAMONDS.

The diamonds of South Africa are
found in peculiar basic rock called
kimberlite, or ''blue ground" which
consists of chrysolite and various
other minerals, and fills the pipes
of ancient volcanoes. No diamonds
have been obtained from the numer-.
Gus foreign inclusions of igneousi
and sedimentary rocks that have
been suspected Of being the original
matrix in which the carbon crystal
lied. The hmberlite has been
much broken and altered and in the
De Beers mine it has nearly seven
per cent. of combined water at a
depth of more than 1900 feet.
These evidences of explosions and
disintegration, with the unusual
amount of water and carbon at a
great depth, have suggested to DR..
0. H. Derby a new theory Of origin.
The pipes of kimberlite, he be-
lieves, must have become saturated
with liquids and gases while in
tensely heated. In such a mass the
carbon-which would be present as
carbon dioxide and probably in
other gaseous forms-would be sub
jected to the conditions that expert
ments have shown may cause segre-
cation and the forming of crystal

Several Journals That Are PubIlshsd
North Of the Polar Circle Appear
Only Once Year.

There exist several journals that
make their appearance only once q
year. These are published within
the confines of the north polar circle.
The Eskimo Bulletin, for exam
pie, is edited near Cape Prince OF
Wales, on Boring strait.
Here, in a village inhabited by
Eskimos, the English missionaries
have established a school, and as
only one steamer lands at this place,
and that only once a year, the news
that it brings is consigned to a sheet
of paper printed with the mimeo-
graph.
It's size is Sx1e inches. The pa.
per is very thick, and only one sur
face is used.
This Eskimo Bulletin in a sub
head claims to be the "only yearly
paper" This, however, is an error,
for there is an annual sheet pub
lished in Godthaab, Greenland,
where a small printing office was es-
tablished in 1862, whence news
sheets and photographic prints have
been issued.
The journal in question is entitled
Atnagagdlintit, nalinginarmik Tulsa
ruminassumik, that is, Something
for Reading; Accounts of All Sorts
of Entertaining Subjects" The Ian
guage is that Of Greenland, a dialect
of the Eskimos.-New York Herald.

FIGHTING TUBERCULOSIS.

Lord Roseberry in a London adj
dress on tuberculosis said that pre-
ventive measures had reduced the
mortality from consumption in Lon
don by 33 per cent. between 1901
and 1909, and by IA per cent. in
England and Wales for the same pc
Rod. Nearly forty thousand lives
were saved which would have been
lost under the average conditions Of
the decade of 1S71-1S80.

USING OIRIolBLls IN Wan
italy Has Two IN TrIpoII and May
Employ Them 70 Bombsrd
Constantinoplc.

Italy, which was the first nation
to make use Of aeroplanes in actual
warfare, is also the first to expert
ment with dirigibles under the same
conditions.
The great boom in aeroplanes has
for a time at least rather put diri-
gibles out of public favor. Besides,
the mishaps that have wrecked al
most all the Zeppilins built in Ger
many have tended to make them UNI
popular. For another thing diri-
gibles are too slow to satisfy the
modern craze for speed.
But Italy has sent to Tripoli two
new dirigibles Of the rigid type,
which have been put together and
inflated. They are of over 5000 Gu
bic yards capacity and has a speed
Of about 80 miles an hour.
Now rumor credits the italian ball
loonists with the plan of establish
ing on Lemnos or some other island
a balloon depot, from which dirigi-
bles might make raids up the OAR
danelles and drop bombs in Con-
stantinople itself.
To do this from a great height
would not be difficult, the mark is
SO large. 1t is said that the italian
authorities rely greatly upon TIE
moral effect the dropping of these
bombs would have.

ANCHORS FORE AND AFT.

A new steamship built for the
West India trade has anchors both
fore and aft, so that the danger of
drifting on the rocks in certain ex-
posed anchoring places may be les
sened. Many wrecks have occurred
through vessels being unable to hold
their anchorage during a storm

States warships Trenton and Van
