A famous Frcnch scientist estimates that all the diamonds recovered in the history of the world could be packed fin a box three feet wide, six feet high and eight feet long and would weigh less than thirty tons.
 It 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 so small a space The high value of the gems is still more strikingly illustrated by the fact that gold to the value of a billion dollars would weigh more than 4,O00,- 900 pounds. Diamonds as a measure of money occupy a large place in civfli- zation But when one takes into con- gideration how far diamonds are from constituting the real wealth of nations or a measure of brains, of true social standing or worth while success in life the enormous expenditure of hut man energy represented by the pile of gems valued at billion dollars is an appalling waste.-Chicag Herald. &

Mayor Wants Cash for Committee to Study
 Commission Government

At the meeting of the common coun- cil on January 5, Mayor Wilson will probably request an appropriation for the expense of the committee which he is to appoint to investigate the com mission form of government. The mayor has not yet decided what he will ask for but he said today it would be merely a nominal sum to meet the legitimate expenses that might be incurred by the committee in it's investigation of the desirability' of this form of government.
 q shall. name the members of this committee within a, short 4time,'' said the mayor today. Ut is but natural that there should be some expense at tached to a comprehensive investiga- tion of such subject and therefore I intend to- ask the council to appro- priate money to cover this expense. Of course if the committee should re- port favorably on this matter it would have to be referred to the people for referendum vote before it is adopt ed.''

Famous FIaqs.

There are only a few Old Glorfes in the Annapolis collection of 173 his toric flags, but each is connected with some incident that gives it the honor of it's present position. There is the thirty one stirred flag that flew be side the sum lse flag of Japan when the close shut doors of that island kingdom were pried open for American commerce. The old flag that Lieuten- ant Charles Haywood defended so gal Iantly in 1S47 at San Jose, Lower Cali fornia, is there to recall the story of how he and his tiny garrison held an old mission house for over three months against an overwhelming Mex ican force. Here, too, are a few re- minders of our history's saddest war. Side by side in the one case are draped the ensign of the Union -man-of-war Kearsage and the stars and bars of the ensign of the Confederate cruiser AIbemarle. Another treasure is the ensign of the battleshfp Maine, which was recovered fourteen years after the catastrophe in Havana harbor.- Christian Herald.

Gov. Ammons Refuses
 To Consider workmen

Denver, Dec. 19-Characterizing the unions demands as ridiculous and their claims overdrawn, Gov. F. NJ Am mons has refused to dismiss Adjt.- Gen. John Chase and other military officers from service, order the release of military prisoners and abolish. the military commission in the.zone- where mands were made upon the governor by committee from the allied. trade unions convention.
 When. the governors stand was made known to the waiting delegates and they heard their committeeman say that the threat of recall petitions within five days had no. effect upon the governor, Mother Mary Jones arose and exhorted her hearers to band themselves by the righteous ness, march upon the state capitol and fling defiance of the governor in his face''
 The delegates voted to assemble for the march to the capitol in pro test of the governors conduct of the law enforcing agencies in the state during the strike of coal miners in the southern Colorado fields.
 There are no acts which have come to my knowledge, either officially or unof1cially, of any misconduct on the part of the officers mentioned in the union resolution said Gov Ammons yesterday, "and not until the commit tee itself brought charges against these men had I heard anything of it.
 II told them to produce their proof and then l would listen to them. They may secure their recall petition against me, but their threat to do so does not weaken me in my determination to preserve law and order in the state.''

The Poison I'm Poison Ivy.

Poison ivy has long been a mystery both to scientists and laymen. Why and in what manner it causes the pe- culiar rash and irritating inflammation have puzzled both botanists and phy- sicians. But pr. 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 a grain of the acid.

In after years he retained this interest and times have not been too busy to detract from it.

His anly fault, as found, has been the difficulty experienced in get ting time off to see his own exhibits But not only in interest and pastime is his connection with the bees.
