are removed new materials from a puri-

Nose. and the Commandments.

A simple cross marks the spot
which investigators of Sinai have de-
cided is the place where Moses read
out to the children of Israel the laws
Of God. The mountain itself must
stand for the monument. Rus Suf-
safeh, the elevation on which the cross
stands, il wild, barren and rocky.
About three hundred yards from the
base Of the mountain there runs across
the plain low, semi-circular mound
which forms kind of natural theater:
while farther distant, on either side OF
the plain, the slopes of the enclosing
mountains would afford seats to an al
most unlimited number of spectators
Not far off there is an extensive recess
which was probably used as camp
ing ground. No spot. on the whole
peninsula is SO well supplied with wa

Diamond Operations.

Machinery and barhed wire have
supplanted the crude methods OF
breaking up demonstrating blue
earth and protecting the valuable finds
employed 20 years ago in the South
African diamond mines. The depths
Of the strange crater shaped holes in
which the peculiar Acknowledging
earth is confined are now penetrated
by shafts, reaching hundreds Of feet
down into the earth with 40-foot lev
els. The broken earth Is removed In
closed trucks to the surface, where,
after q season of exposure to sun
and atmosphere, strewn on the
ground, it is hauled to the mills. Here
pulsators finally locate the diamonds
on grease-covered inclined tables. to
which the diamonds adhere, while
loose sand, earth and gravel are
washed away by water. Acres OF
ground. covered by broken earth
brought up from the mines, contain
possibly millions of dollars worth OF
gems, and these treasure-troves are
protected by high fences Of barbed
wire, with intricate arrangements at
the corners and at the gates. About
four thousand miles of wire are used
in the defenses about the Kimberley
mines.

the thanks of the community are due
to those who are testing and trying to
improve our methods of education;

conversational than any other, and
therefore should not be criticized in
