Diamond, and Wealth,

A famous French scientist estimates
that all the diamonds recovered In the
history of the world could be packed
in a box three feet wide, six feet high
and eight feet long and would weigh
less than thirty tons.
1t seems almost beyond the power Of
mind to grasp the fact that treasure
worth more than a billion dollars In
gold could be contained In 30 small a
space. The high value Of the gems Is
still more strikingly illustrated by the
fact that gold to the value Of billion
dollars would weigh more than 4,000,-
600 pounds. Diamonds as a measure
Of money occupy large place In civil
cation. But when one takes into con-
sidsration how far diamonds are from
constituting the real wealth of nations
or measure Of brains. Of true social
standing or worth while success in
life the enormous expenditure Of hui
man energy represented by the pile
Of gems valued at billion dollars is
an appalling waste.-Chicago Herald.

some incident that gives 1t the honor
Of Its present position. There is the

the close shut doors Of that island

commerce. The old flag that Lieuten-
ant Charles Haywood defended 30 gal
lantly In 1S47 at San Jose, Lower Cali

how he and his tiny garrison held an
old mission house for over three
months against an overwhelming Mex

minders of our history's saddest war.
Side by side in the one case are draped
the ensign Of the Union man-ofwar

SEED IN RAD|UM
POWER OF FUTURE
French Aerial Scientist Predicts Man
viii Travel Around World
In Few Hours.

Paris, Sept. 15.-Radium as power
of locomotion to supplant all methods
now known, is the prediction of Ern-
est Archdeac0n, In an article In La
Controverse. The noted aerial scien-
fist declares that in a few centuries
aerial navigation OF the present day
will be supplanted by the radium en-
CINE as the horse has been supplant-
ed by the gasoline motor, and that
through the energy OF radium, engines
will be devised which will drive an
aerial rocket around the world In a
few minutes or to the planets In a
| few hours.
For numerous reasons" he writes.
at appears unlikely that flying ma
chimes will ever considerably exceed
125 miles an hour. At this rate we
should take 200 hours. or little more
than eight days, to make circuit OF
the earth. 1t is evident that we shall
soon discover something infinitely
better than the aeroplane. 1t is Ger.
tain that our children will girdle the
earth, $4,000 miles. In a period of
which we at present have no idea.
"All the people OF the earth will
then form a sole and single nation.
Our planet will have become much
too small for the mobility and actlv-
ity of its Inhabitants. who will EVIL
IDENTIFY be bored to see ever the same
, little landscape with which their eyes
are satiated.
According to the mathematical
calculations OF NJ. Esnault-Pelterie,
the new means of interplanetary COM
munication will be Jules Verne's can
non ball transformed into a contin-
uously self-propelling rocket. The
problem is to give this rocket a self
contained velocity of II kilometers
(about seven miles, a second, which
would be sufficient for 1t to leave the
circle OF terrestrial attraction. At
this velocity our planet could be
girdled in &C minutes. and the journey
from Paris to Nice covered under two
minutes.
"Now, with q kilogrammes tabolt
GO pounds) of radium, projectile of
one ton could be shot from the earth
to the moon in about forty-nine hours.
The molecular projections OF radium
would be made to work by reaction.
OF course, the difficulty would be TO
find out how TO release in 40 hours
all the energy contained in the
radium, which, in the present state
of science, 1t would take $4,000 years
to set free. But this difficulty does
not seem insuperable, when we think
what has already been achieved. With
400 kilogrammes (three-fifths of a
tom on board, visit might be made
to Venus and back to earth again.

The Poison In Poison Ivy.

Poison Ivy has long been mystery
both to scientists and laymen. Why
and in what manner 1t causes the pc
culiar rash and irritating Inflammation
have puzzled both botanists and ply
sicians. But DR.. Minande Of Paris
says his study of the plant shows that
poison ivy contains prussic acid. This
Is found principally In the young leaves
and buds. In older leaves there Is very
little of It.
In three and one-half ounces Of young
leaves there is about a quarter Of q
grain of the acid.
AS with other plants In which prus.
sic acid is found. the poisonous sub
stance does not exist In its perfect
form. but develops as soon as the
leaves are bruised, a chemical action

This religion is neither Buddhism,

strange mixture of all three. It's
greatest vogue was reached forty CEN
turtles ago when the shrine of the

the world was known and revered
throughout the length and breadth of
India. The adopts of this religion,
the present day, have developed to
an extraordinary extent the study of
the mind in the spirit realm, which is
Just beginning to take a firm hold
upon the imaginations of thinking
people all over the world. In the sys-
tenn OF these Hindoo scholars there
is a marked distinction between
what is known as metempsychosls, or
a mere passing of the soul, and rein
carnation, meaning the passing of the
soul through flesh, as in the case of
Thurston and the soul of Seth l.

Although Thurston has never pene.

more about 1t than any ether white
man. For some yearS Rs acted as
tutor and coach to a number of In

he gathered many Of the secrets of

Meanwhile the peculiar form OF
mysticism which Thurston ladies out

rapidly among the upper class Of
