LOT NO. q.

Lot No. 4, which consisted of four
pigs Of a common type, neither blue
bloods nor scrubs, were being fed corn
and allowed the run of a strip of blue
grass pasture A glance at the table
viii show that their gain was not at
all satisfactory and that the cost per
pound was excessive. This was espe-
cially strange as these four pigs were
not doing so well as the same type Of
pigs IN No. 2, which were fed corn and
pkept In a small dry lot The probable
explanation OF this unusual state OF ar
fairs is that the blue grass pasture with
1he dry weather had got to point
early In the season when 1t did not
make real pig feed, and the run OF the
pasture allowed the shoats too much
space In which to lunt for something
more palatable than corn three times

DIAMONDS FROM ARKANSAS
ARE THE VERY BEST

presented to light. While the sizes are
not unusual, some of them even small,
the quality is asserted to be exception
al, many of the stones being as nearly
fiawless as are ordinarily found. A still
more startling revelation Is the rela-
tive richness of the fields. The cele-
brated De Beers and Kimberley mines
OF Africa grade 81 carats approximate
average) and are as rch as any in the
world while the first pipe uncovered
in Arkansas has tested 20 carats. This
grading is computed on the number of
carats recovered from 100 loads OF
dirt, each amounting to LIZ cubic feet
The diamond-bearing formation in
thee new fields Is practically the same
rs that of South Africa, the pocket de-
posits, or pipes, CT diamantiferous blue
earth being of the same character as
the peridotite or kimberlite of the fa-
nous mines. A pipe" is u cylindrical
vein filed with peridotite and extend
ing vertically into the earth to un-
known depths. The surface material
is of greenish yellow color, caused by
the decomposition of the material
through atmospheric Influences. Below
this the dirt is of II blush hue, from
which it derives the name of blue
ground, holding diamonds and other
minerals. The walls of this so-called
, pipe mark the extent of the deposits,
The plants now running at the Ar
kansas fields are not large, and, though
operated in commercial way, can
hardly be termed more than testing
mills. The largest one Of the group is
capable of handling 90 loads of dirt
a day, which is inflnitesimal in COM
parton with the immense works of the
South African mines. 1t Is for this rea.
son that the recovery SO far made from
the domestic pipes does not indicate
any more than the grading of the
mines. What yet may be uncovered
is not known, because the fields are
only in the earliest stage OF pit devel
opment. In no instance has COM
pany worked through the decomposed
speridotite. The work has been limited
to shallow excavations covering three

Tragic Story Of Soldier Priests Last

Paris.---In the waiting room of the

wounded soldiers were laid out ON

and some were evidently not long for
this world.
One of them seemed 10 be very un-
easy. A nurse went up TO him and

said, II want confessor very badly"
lis there a priest herey" asked the
nurse
Just then another soldier lying NOR
tally wounded plucked the nurse by
the sleeve. Madam" he said, II am
priest. can give him absolution.
Carry me to him"
The nurse hesitated. The second
soldier was suffering from the effects
OF horrible shell wound, and the
least movement gave him excruciating
pain. But again the feeble voice said:
You are of the faith, and you know
the price of soul What is one more
hour Of life compared with that"
And the soldier raised himself by su-
preme effort 10 go to the side of his
comrade But the effort was vain; he
had to be carried.
The confession did not take long and
the strength OF the sodler.prlest was
ebbing rapidly away. When the time
came TO give absolution he made Sig
nal 20 the nurse. Help me to give
the sign" he said.
The nurse held up his arm while this
was being done. Death followed quick
iy for the priest and his penitent.
They died hand in hand, while the
nurse and the ambulance men fell on
their knees on either side OF them.

popular Mechanics)


Hundreds of diamonds, u large pro-
portion of them of good size and the
first water, are being recovered from
The blue-clay deposits which were dis
ly a few years ago. Although the ex-
istence of diamond-bearing formations
in this vicinity has been known by ge-
ologists, and recently by those in inn
mediate proximity to the fields, IL has
never become widely known that the
deposits are so large as to justify work
ing the fields on commercial basis.
A poor farmer near Murfreesboro
made the discovery which subsequent
ly caused the development of the first
diamond field found in the United
States. Sitting one day on rock,
brooding over his troubles, the mans
attention was attracted by small peb-
hle glistening in the sunlight. 1t
shone almcst as II live coal were i'm
bedded in its center. Curious, he start
ed into the town with the stone, on the
way picking up a second one a few
hundred feet from where he had found
the first. The banker and merchants
oi Murireesboro were ignorant of the
natWe of the stones, and so cents was
the top price offered for them. Upon
forwarding them to Little Rock jew
eler however, il was learned that the
pebbles were in reality white diamonds
OF excellent quality, weighing four and
y half and three carats, respectively
III a few weeks the farmer had sold his
property for $4,000.
4 typical diamond-bearing formation
of several acres area exists where the
FIRST sones were picked up. A second
field, showing immense bodies of blue
clay, yet unsurveyed, has been found
! a few miles beyond the first, and 1t is
| considered possible that still others
| may be uncovered in the district. This
land is now carefully fenced and con.
stantIy guarded. Since beginning its
operations one company has removed
400 tones having an aggregate weight
of $50 carats. The exact yield from
the other mines is not known, since
the results OF their operations have
been kept secret An approximate es,
/ innate, however, places the total recoy
cry at 5000 diamonds OF unknown
weight. The largest stone so far dis
covered and officially reported weighed

r OffneT merchant FliHCcs
Geneseo, n. ", Nov. IA - At the
trial Of Henry Siegel for alleged grand
larceny, Frank H. Champion, cashier
Of the Henry Siegel & Company,
bankers. was called to the stand.
Champion told in plain terms how
money deposited in the Siegel bank
was taken in bags to the Office Of the
Fourteenth street store and the Simp-
son-Crawford company, two of the
concerns in Siegel's chain OF depart
ment stores. He explained how large
sums were sent TO one or another Of
the concerns and then split into
smaller checks so that the money
was divided among the enterprises.
Champion related how the notes for
these loans were kept in the office OF
Siegel and Frank e. Vogel, the de-
ceased partner OF the defendant, and
not In the bank. The witness dis
closed the fact that two sets OF books
were kept. On one OF these loans
we're credited merely to numbers the
names of the stores not appearing on
the pages.
