THE NEW STATE CAPITOL.

Today must go down in the history
of Missouri as one of the states red
letter days. for its big new capitol
building is being dedicated. The
stroke of lightning that set fire to
the old building four years ago was
a blessing. The former capitol was a
disgrace to the state. For years II
had not been large enough. 1t would
still be in use and Missourians would
still be making excuses had not Prov
idence taken a hand.
Boone County is especially proud
of the new building in that one of its
foremost residents, E. W. Stephens
was chairman of the building commit
tee. This commission has worked
hard for three years to give Nilsson.
ri a capitol that could not be out
grown for a long time and one whose
appearance would be a source of pride
to every citizen who sees it, TO-DAY
the building is done and the work OF
the commission is over.
Graft in its construction was elimi-
mated, and its cost to the state is far
less than is customary for states TO
pay for buildings not nearly so good
In this elimination of graft the com
mission has set a good example for
the future state assemblies that will
make this their home.

Mr.. O'Bryan forgot to make it known
to Judge Harris that he would be one
of James attorneys.
During the trial, Mr.. O'Bryan
jumped to his feet and offered an OBJ
lection to a question asked by the
prosecuting attorney. Judge Harris
answer to the objection was.
well, now, the objection may be
correct, but who is the young man Of
fering it? Is he a practicing attor
ney?'
Apologies followed. Mr. O'Bryan
was introduced to Judge Harris. and
Mr.. Dinwiddie vouched for Mr.
O'Bryan as a lawyer.
"Of course / want to know the law

Judge Harris. ITO my knowledge,

Diamond Operations.

Machinery and barbed wire have
supplanted the crude methods OF
breaking up Acknowledging 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 damon bearing
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 a season OF exposure to sun
and atmosphere. strewn on the
ground, 1t Is hauled to tho mills. Here
p~ulsators 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 medical profession has succeed
ed In doing away with a revolving
custom that has prevailed in Constan.
unople for almost p century. In 1927
the authorities discovered that the
Greeks were in the habit of smuggling
In large quantities Of arms and am.

fore ordered that thenceforward cot.
fms containing the corpses of Greeks
should be borne lidless through tho
streets and only sealed after entering

Greeks have attempted by painting
the faces OF tho dead and resorting to
other crude devices. to render the
procedure less CHASTITY. They have

the abolition Of the custom. but made
