Would Not Burn Diamonds.

You often hear of people with
money to burn, but so far none has
ever attempted to burn their dia-
monds. The reason why, perhaps, is
because they will burn beautifully.
"A great many people imagine that
diamonds are indestructible," said a
1eweler, who was placing load of
gems in his safe for the night, but
as matter of fact, a fire of diamonds
would be the briskest, prettiest thing
in the world. Diamonds are nothing
but coal-carbon. Put a handful of
diamonds on plate and set a light
to them. They will burn with hard,
gemlike flame till nothing is left.
There will be no smoke, no SCOT, and
at the end the plate will be as clean
as though Just washed-not the slight
est particle even of ash will remain. 4"
Don't try to thaw out your cracked
ice by fire.

Society Takes to Art,

Society's latest fad is art study
Many young women prominent in So
ciety are enrolled in the art schools
here, where they are studying interior
decoration and costume designing
They all express the wish to obtain
knowledge that will enable them to
provide for the artistic arrangement
of their homes and set styles that will
fix an American standard, and estab
lish modes entirely distinctive to this
country. The war has furnished an
exceptional opportunity in this direc
ton, and many American artists are
endeavoring to seize upon it to en-
courage the advancement of art and
fashions that carry American charac
teristics. One of the directors of a
well-known school here says that so
ciety's interest is sound refutatior
of sometime popular notion thai
women of society devote their time en-
tirely to frivolities. He says the ros
ter of those who have shown enthusi
asm over the practical work involved

HAD NOT THE SAME RESULT
Soldiers Saw Great Difference In Re
wards Offered by tho TIVE
Hospital Nurses.

There is on the Breton coast little
seaside resort RESTED IN an admirable
setting Of rocks and groves and
equipped with . Grand Hotel Of the
Beach, which has been transformed II
these sadly changed days into Z hos
pital for wounded soldiers Of France
For all that there are othey peaple
on the sands besides the convAlescent
heroes, and especially any number
OF pretty women, always ready torEsnd
their help to the doctors In charge
Among these charming dancer from
the Theater of Varieties In Paris was
particularly lavish with her atten.
tons to the soldiers. One day when
she was present q big. dark fellow
from the South manifested an irwin.
chile repugnance to . bitter dose
which. by the doctors orders, he was
to drink.
If you are good boy and do what
the doctor tells you." said the dancer,
you may kiss me-"
Instantly and with one gulp, the big
fellow swallowed the stuff, wiped his
great mustache, and claimed his re-
ward. 1t was all done so prettily that
even the head surgeon permitted him
self to smile.
But the real comedy began when the
head nurse, a matron turning fifty, ap-
peared next morning and announced:
Every one Of you who takes his
medicine will be allowed to kiss me"
The effect was immediate. Each
and every patient made face and put
down on the table beside him the dose
which he had been about to swallow.
Now the head nurse is goodness
itself, and her goodness is we'll spiced
with wit. She was the first to laugh
at the result Of her invitation. Then
she pretended to be angry.

Valuable MoleskIn.

The skin of the mole is much sought
for the manufacture Of furs, and those
made use OF in this country have been
heretofore imported from Europe. but
it Is entirely likely that we shall SUP.
ply this demand by the home product
at no distant time. The biological sYr.
vey OF the United States has recently
made some examinations into the quail
tiles OF the domestic mole for this pur.
pose, and 1t has been discovered that
the animal OF the northeastern part
Of this country is superior to the for
eign animal the fur being finer and
having other advantages. A report OF
the investigation has been printed and
the cultivation of the mole for it's fur
is recommended as a profitable indus
try.

Aoe Of Eleubant, and Parrots.

Eardley- Wilmot, in his Life OF an
Elephant" says that these animals
live one hundred years under favor
able circumstances. r. Lydekker in
his Great and Small Game Of India"
says Of the Indian elephant that its
age depends upon its teeth.
Definite information as to the age
Of parrots is hard to find. In a work
on Parrots in Captivity one black
Madagascar specimen in the London
zoo is mentioned. which was present
ed to the society full grown in 1881,
and was still alive and well in 1884.
Several others about twenty years old
are mentioned.

Remarkable Birth Record.

What is believed to be record in
childbirth was established recently by
Mahratta woman in Bhor state, East
India. This woman, at the age of
thirty-three, gave birth to quintuplets,
two males and three females. All
were bern alive, but it was not ex.
pected they would live, lowing to the
want of nursing" The same mother
gave birth to three children last year,
but all died within three months. A
record of bearing eight children in a
year is believed to be unequaled in
medical annals.

Cooperative System Grows.

The cooperative system is growing
in Scotland, despite the war. The
report of the Scottish Cooperative
Wholesale society for the first half OF
1915, recently made public, shows that
the volume of business transacted was
greater than in any corresponding
period in the past. To some extent
this was due to the higher market
prices of goods, but in nearly every
department the quantities of goods
sold showed large increases.

Cane Cod Canal.

An idea of the value of the Cape
Cod canal to shipping is given in the
fact that more than two thousand
i've hundred vessels have passed
through this waterway since 1t was
opened in the summer of 1914, each
of these vessels saving something like
seventy miles Of travel and avoiding
the dangerous route around Cape Cod.

SYNDICATE TO AID
HOLDERS OF FRISCO
VIII Advance S45 on Each $50
Assessment Made on
the stock.
BONDS TO BE SECURITY


a novel idea in railroad reorgani.
zations is contained in the plan for re-
facilitating the Frisco system, which Is
close TO completion and soon to be an
nounced. A syndicate is TO be formed
to assist the stockholders in paying
the heavy assessment of $50 a share
imposed upon them.
This syndicate will lend to the stock
holders who pay the assessment s45 on
each $50 assessment. As collateral for
this Ion the stockholders will deposit
with the syndicate the new mortgage
bonds that they receive In the %reorgani-
zation II also the voting trust certif-
Gates representing the new stock which
they are to receive.
The stock of the new company Is to
be trusted under a voting trust ar
rangement for a period of years. The
bonds which the subscribing stock
holders will receive to the extent OF
their subscriptions will be a prime bond
'The syndicate has not been formed
yet, but II is understood that II will be
made up of very strong financial inter-
ests here. The plan Tor the syndicate
caused much interest In Wall Street be-
cause II Is the first step in the direction
of making possible on "A sound basis,
reorsanizations which are drastic enough
to secure the immunity of railroad prop
critics from future trouble.
The reorganization plan has been de-
layed up to now by the action Of two
large stockholders who have refused
TO consent I o the plan. Affairs have
progressed, however, TO the point where
unless these holders shortly agree 10 the
plan. IL will be put through without
their consent.
