DIAMONDS,

one or the most important products
Oh the southern part of Africa is dia

River that produces moro diamonds

In the year 1857 an Englishman wa.

rage about dark. While in one OF the
houses the Englishman saw some
beautiful stones. and when he depart

by the chief.
On finding that these were diamonds
thousands OF people nocked to this re-
eion. and to-day the city OF Kimberley
stands as monument to this great
industry. Since diamonds were discoy
ered mere more than fifteen tons have
been gotten out
the soil Of this region is a blue CLAW.
and In this soil are deposited the prec-
ious stones At first attempts were
made to wash the diamonds out. but
this process was very slow. Then grea,
PITS were sunk. and from these tun-
neis were built in every direction.
Some Of these pits are several thous-
and feet deep and miles Of under
ground tunnels are stretching from the
shafts In all directions In the tun
neis the clay Ia blasted out and. after
being loaded on small cars. II is car
ried to the surface and the diamonds
are extracted by means Of several pro
cesses.
The diamond mines arc guarded very
closely. and each shaft Is surrounded
by n tall iron fence. and this fence Is
rooted over with a very fine wire. The
miners are natives. and every precau-
ton is taken 10 prevent the precious
gems from being stolen. The mining
OF diamonds is very hard work, and
only the African negro Is able to stand
the intense heat. The mines arc boss
ed by white men.
After the diamonds have been obtain

BEAVERS.

Beavers are found in North America
and the Old World. Five or six of
them live together as one family. They
can live on land and also in the water.
They build their houses so the entrance
Will be under the wnter. Beavers have
sharp teeth. With them they can cut
down trees. Beavers resemble rats
but they are much larger
When the water is shallow the hea-
vers build dams. They cut down the
trees and float them down the stream
to tho place they have decided to build
their home. They do this until the
dam Is as high rs they want 1T to be.
Then II Is finished with stones and
mud. The mud with which they daub
their houses Is frozen In winter. The
beavers are valuable for their fur.

A SWEET LITTLE MISS.

She's sweet little miss,
With sweet little ways.
So airy. SO merry In whatever
She plays.
She looks like n picture
With those big wistful eyes
And her hair is as bright
As the sun in the skies.
There are not many people
VINO look sweet when they pout.
But this little miss certainly
Does. without doubt.
When she plays "CfnderelIa"
She's such q little Queen
That you can't help loving her
When she appears on tho screen.

From the very first line;
Mary Pickford is her name,
And as a star she doth shine.
