VALUE OF WORLDS DIAMONDS
Expert Estimates Total Worth At One
Billion Dollars.

Expert estimates otai WORM AZ Ohe
Billion Dollars.
Diamonds Of the weight of % 2-5 tons
which would fill space Of 10a cubic
yards and have a value of nearly ST.
000, ,000, 900, have been taken from the
earth from the earliest time to the
present day, according to the estimate
just made by M. De Launay, the we'll
known metalurgist, says a London
dispatch.
These figures, however, only concern
the stones before cutting, which re-
duces their weight volume by half,
but multiplies their value by five. A
box three feet high, six feet wide and
eight long would thus hold the total
worlds output of these gems in their
finished condition and would have a
market value of s4,700. 900, 900 accord
ing to present prices. ..s.
OF this quantity, according to M. De
Launay, 100000 carats of the value of
$S5, ,00O, 900 have been contributed by
India, the source of all diamonds from
ancient times up to the eighteenth CEN
tury, and 100000 carats Of the value
OF 500, 100000 by Brazil between 1928
and 1910. These fields are now, how
ever, practically exhausted, and gems
representing 142,OOO,OOO carats of the
value of s7OO,OOO,OO would come from
South Africa, which is now almost the
sole source of the worlds supply.
Apart from South Africa, M. De
Launay says the only other diamond
fields which count at all are those of
New South Wales, the annual output
of which, according to the last figures,
is 2,205 carats.

Her Leap in the Dark.-The wife OF

which the salesman would try'to dem

VALUE OF THE GOAT

Butt of Our Jokes is One of the Most
Useful of All Our American Animals.
Somewhere the legend exists that
the goat was created by the devil,
which, perhaps, is justified by the AMI
mails pernicious activities and his
fondness for things not enjoyed by any
other living creature. In ancient times
the honor of being sacrificed to Bac-
chus was conferred upon it, and in
modern times the goat, no matter how
venerable, is honored, when presented
on the dining table. by being given the
name of one of the most docile ami
mails known. From time immemorial
has the animal been used as the butt
for Jokes in comic papers and there
have been few who have shown a will
lingness to espouse the cause of this
really useful but maligned member Of
the animal kingdom.
At last champion has been found,
one who comes forth boldly, without
fear of criticism, and tells Of the un-
suspected value of the goat and pro-
claims that the animal is more salts
factory and profitable as milk pro-
ducer than a COW. A physician OF
Buffalo, with the appropriate name Of
DR.. w. Sheldon Bull, reused by the
base insinuations and injustice done

stead of having our cows tested for
tuberculosis or worrying ourselves to
death for fear our dairyman. despite
his solemn oath, has not made the
tests he should have made, why not
obtain our milk from an animal that
could not have tuberculosis If 1t tried.
He calls the goat ''the only dairy ami
nal immune to tuberculosis" He be-
lieves the virtues of goat milk and the
ease of obtaining 1t are too little
known in this country, and he is ap-
plying himself to the task Of filing

not sufficiently felt 4
Anybody can keep a goat. Dr.. Bull
tells us, and everybody ought to. From
a hygienic point Of view 1t is argued
that the owners Of these hardy little
creatures may enjoy greater advan-
tages than does the possessor of a
pampered, pedigreed COW Of the most
fashionable breed. It is well known
that goats milk is richer, more nutri-
tious and more easily digested than
cows milk, and as a diet for children
and invalids 1t is stated by the most
eminent physicians to be unsurpassed.
So far rs attempting to overcome
the ignorance and prejudice regarding
the goat by any organized or syste-
matte effort toward educating the pub
lie with reference to the economic, die
tary and sanitary value of the animal.
we are far behind other civilized coun-
tries, perhaps due to the lack of infor-
nation given the people of the United
States by those in charge Of govern
ment reports. outside Of the foreign
ers on our shores nobody loves the goat,
