Owner Of Big Diamond Can't Find
Purchaser For His Stone.
London.-An English diamond digger
named Rowker has arrived in London
with Il diamond of the first water
weighing 17S% carats. but he finds
himself in the same position as Mark
Twain's man with the S ,OO0.OU bank
note. He has more wealth than hun
dreds of men to whom he has appeal
ed, but he is unable to raise a penny
on the stone.
The diamond is an amber stone, per-
fectly clear and Of undoubted value.
It was found at Droogeveld. South Az
RIGA. and resembles the Kohinoor.
There is no question that Bowker is
the legitimate owner. but he cannot
find a buyer. He has shown the stone
to all the big London dealers; but.
while they have all displayed keen in
terest, all have declined to purchase
it on one pretext or another.
The biggest diamond ever found, the
| Cullinan. discovered in 1905. weighed
3,O25A carats. Or l l-3 pounds, until
1t was cut up.

CITY PLANNING IN SCHOOLS.
Philadelphia Children interested Ia
New Course of Civic Instruction.

Philadelphia Children Interested In
New Course Of Civic instruction.
An interesting departure has been
made in his curse or civics by Charles
z. Taylor, executive director Of the
committee on moral and social educa-
ton Of the Home and School league
and the Civic club Of Philadelphia.
The new idea is to teach city planning
by making the students plan a city.
In an interview Mr.. Taylor thus de-
scribed it: ..,
without warning or notice paper is
distributed to the children, who are
prepared with rulers and pencils. They
are then told to think of the compost
ton of a city, its streets. public build
ings and the like. They are then told
to plan an ideal city to the best Of
their ability. OF course they make a
dreadful mess of it. knowing nothing
about such matters. but the expert
ment proved to them that they really
did lack knowledge. Then they are
given a series Of talks, some illustrated
on the blackboard, in which they are
given ideas as to what an ideal city
might be like. They are told the value
Of radiating avenues. open squares.
Fairgrounds. workingmen's suburbs.
and so on. Experts from outside the
school have been asked to talk to the
children on the subject. DR.. Alexan-
der NJ. Wilson Of the bureau Of health
and Mr.. Andrew Wright Crawford of
the municipal art jury have been Of
great help In giving the children Of
the schools where the experiment has
been made clear and valuable ideas
concerning city planning and the city
beautiful
"When the children have their heads
full Of practical ideas concerning the
planning Of an ideal city they engage
in a competition to see who a plan
the best city. and these plans. made by
children Of thirteen and fourteen years
Of age, are sometimes remarkable.
With schoolboys Of this age gaining
such ideas. in a generation we could
have a strong popular support of Inn
proving the city.
",rhe result Of this planning is that
the children become Immensely inter
ested in the city idea. SO that now is
the psychological time for studying
the political structure of the town and
city, department by department. II pos.

Teacher Seeks Euaenic Mate.

Latest Of the candidates to "0ffel
herself upon the altar of matrimony
for the betterment of the race" in a
eugenics marriage is Miss Clara Macy,
Il school teacher of New City, New.
She has some ideas of her W re-
garding what a eugenics husband
should be, however, which she thinks
even the Medical Review Of Reviews.
which proposes to mate a perfect man
and a perfect woman, might overlook.
At least she has sent a list Of qualii-
cations upon which she will insist. as
follows:
HE must not use liquor. opiates or
tobacco in any form. He must be cour-
teous and thoughtful to others. He
must be q clean man in thought and in
language and must be immaculate
about his person.
II don't care about his looks as long
us he is clean about his person and is
not deformed i'll any way.
DO you think that l expect too
much? l know myself and am conf
dent that I am q fit mate for such a
man."
In her letter Miss Macy says:
II am twenty nine years old and am
five and Il half feet tall. I weigh 175
pounds. l call my hair red because l
don't want to be accused of Dragging,
but the rest of the folks assure me it is
auburn.
My eyes are hazel green, you know,
with some brown and gray. A young
man who taught in our school some
wears ago was foolish enough to write
some poetry about them.
MY health is excellent. and l feel
sure that l would make a fit mate for
some fine, red blooded man. In the in
terests of science and for the better
ment Of the race l nm willing to unite
and live in eugenic wedlock."

CHIHUAHUA RUN ON
S0C|Au|STIC BASIS
Rebels Operate Every Industry
and Apply Proceeds to State.

Ell Paso. Tex.-SOcialism is getting a
practical tryout in Chihuahua, the
refugees say. The rebel state govern
ment is operating the banks, the stores,
the foundry. the brewery. the mint. the
street car lines, all gambling conces-
sions, the railroad to Juarez and every
other industry. Villa is preparing to
reopen the old Falomir bank as a state
bank with the conf1scated Terrazas es-
tates as securities and will issue paper
money from the bank. All of the pro-
ceeds from street railway lines are 60
ing into the state treasury.
Villa has ordered the Constitutional
ist government to execute deeds giving
the homes of the principal Huerta
sympathizers in the city Of chihuahua
To the rebel military commanders.
Villa has announced that he will give
the homes Of Enrique Creel. Juan
Creel. Juan Terrazas. Luis T~errazas,
Jr... and Martin Falomir to his gen.
erals In the field and retain the home
OF. Manuel Prieto for his own use.
These homes were among those or
1ered confiscated by Villa. as we'll as
that Of Jacob Tuche. who is a subject
Of Turkey. Villa also distributed
clothing. shoes and candy from the
seized Spanish stores among the poor
Of chihuahua as a Christmas present
rom the rebel leader.
A wireless tower is % ready in
Chihuahua for operation on the roof OF
the cathedral. and a field wireless out
fit is to he supplied to the rebel army
so that communication may be estab-
lished. with headquarters in Chihua-
hua.
Rebel officials in chihuahua claim to
have evidence that the federal gen
erals carried OF much wealth when
they evacuated and left for Ojinaga.
They declare that the federal com
manders reported to the City of Mexi-
60 after all battles that none Of their
men had been killed and continued to
draw pay for them all. They charge
that General Mercado bought 100000
worth of diamonds in Chihuahua city
before leaving. as he could get them
at very low prices because of the own
ers' fear Of losing them to rebel hooters.
