Diamond Operations,

Machinery and barbed wire have
supplanted the crude methods OF
breaking up Acknowledging blue
earth and protecting the valuable hnds
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, 1t Ia 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 t~reasure-troves are
protected by high fences OF barbeo
wire, with intricate arrangements a.
the corners and at the gates. About
four thousand miles Of wire are usec
in the defenses about the Kimberley
mines.

The new method is not in its in

Austrian generals were taken, more
than 300 officers and $4,000 men.

From the Kazan cathedral TIT
strains of the national anthem swelled

curtain OF falling snow, music burst
forth and added to the general spirit

Russia, it is expected, will be very
great, awakening hopes that this will

With the French Army Get the

Paris.-The correspondent of New

at the front writes;
postcard came from Torole say.
ing that he is acting as mechanic for
an American aviator with the fifteenth
squadron of the royal flying corps at
Farnsborough, England. He adds that
he has been granted ten days vacation
and received $40 advance pay and that

and eggs.
Fred Stone, New Yorker, has been
wounded by shrapnel while on SEN
tinel duty in the trenches at the town

but DR.. Van Worst, who attended him,
assured US he was all right.
A later letter says;

has fallen. Strange, for only yester-
day as we were on our way to the
shooting trenches from the sugar re-
finery on the canal where we had all
taken hot shower baths, was think.
ing of writing to ask you to send us
a baseball outfit. Spring was in the

no wonder we all got baseball fever.

is in the hospital at Mont Merel.
Olinger is at the depot at Orleans, and
so is Collins, who is still ill. Narwich
has just joined us again with some
others who have come to fill our ranks.
Ganson is also at Orleans Casey has
gone for an eight-day rest,
You may think the idea of baseball
here is crazy, but why not? The Eng.
lish play football in the rear of the
lines Do not forget that this war is
the most remarkable war in many 9th
er ways than its size. 1t has been
pointed out often enough that the
firing line is 200 miles in length, but
not much attention has been paid to its
width. It's depth is so comparatively
Insignificant that we can play ball if
we will when out Of the trenches.
OF course shells fall in this village
where am writing, where we rest but
we can go another half mile or so to
the rear and be entirely out of the dan
ger zone. People are living there
again as before the war. They hear
the distant roar of cannon, but the
noise becomes a habit Anyone who
wants a fine reproduction of the front
when firing is going on-not a battle
but the ordinary firing-has only to go
to some big construction work in New
York, where he will hear exactly what
we hear every day
The blasting initiates the cannon,
the hammer striking the steel girder
gives the rifle shot, a steel girder
when dropped reproduces a cannon
fire effect, especially through the vi
brations caused But the most re-
markable imitation is the hydraulic
hammer, that contrivance with which
a workman bores holes in steel. This
instrument exactly initiates a machine
gun in action. If | ever get back to
to New York shall jump whenever
| hear one.
