EXCLUDING BEER.
TOBACCO EATING NATION. TOO

ing the Government.
WASHINGTON. - Americans are
drinking more whiskey, smoking
more cigars and cigarettes and chew
ing more tobacco than ever before in
history, according to latest tax re-
turns to Royal E. Cabell, commission
er of internal revenue.
From July to February the nation
has consumed 94,000,000 gallons of
whiskey, an increase of 100000
gallons over the corresponding period
the previous year; S,5OO,000 cigar
cites, an increase of 2,250,00O; A.
500, 100000 cigars, an increase of
100000, 900, and 250,000,000 pounds
of smoking and chewing tobacco, an
increase of 100000 pounds. These
are record breaking figures.
In addition drinkers of beer are
resuming their stride. During the
fiscal year 1912 the consumption OF
beer fell off materially, but for the
seven months of the current fiscal
year the people of the United States
have drunk 38,864,000 barrels, an
increase Of 1,S5O,OOO barrels over
last year.
Drinkers, smokers and chewers are
thus enriching the federal govern
ment. Internal revenue taxes from
July l to date are $12,500,OOO great
err than any previous record for
similar period.

PICKING UP DIAMONDS.
Gems Found ON Surface in South
African Field.

African Field.
To pick up diamonds on the ground
as you crawl on your hands and
knees is the newest way of acquiring
great wealth in South Africa. 1t is
in Demaraland, where recent valua-
BILE finds are reported to have taken
place At one spot, it IS told, 20
negro laborers, working under two
white overseers, picked up $4,000
karats of diamonds, valued at more
than 100000, in three days, and
at a point about 10 miles from Luz
deritzbucht, two white men gathered
5000 carats, worth over 100000,
in a single afternoon. Diamonds have
frequently been found in the streets
of Luderitzbucht.
The great mass of the diamonds OF
Damaraland are found in the narrow
valleys between the moving sand
dunes, on a granite surface, with its
carpet of three to four inches of
sand. In these fiat places negro la
borers in bands of from 10 to 80,
with an overseer to every ten or IL
men. crawl slowly on their knees over
the sand in search of the gems, each
one carrying a bottle in which he
drops them as they are found. Fifty
laborers will thus scan about an acre
