 THE GERMAN A|RCRAF7 I

ROTTUMEROOG, Netherlands, July 29-At no other place in Europe is there better opportunity than on this island of observing the beginning and the end of the German airship and aeroplane expod tons which have recently become frequent to the English coast. Rottumeroog is the last and most easterly of the long string of lowyng sandy islands skrting the north coast of Holland and then continu ing along the German coast. From its lookout sta tion in charge of the Dutch military authorities may be seen day after day flights of German ''Tabuen" or "Doves" as the flying machines are called, com ing out of or going into the mouth of the Ems and from Borkum, the first of the German islands, or even passing on their way to or from the island fortress of Heligoland Wilhemshaven. Sometimes a Zeppelin, or perhaps a squadron of these Dread naughts of the air. will skirt the coast high up in the clouds just outside of Dutch territorial waters bent on attacking British and merchant ships if op- portunity offers in the North Sea

AUSTRIA ID CONF|SCATE
 1915 HARVEST OF WHEAT

VIENNA, July 29,-Athough Austria has no fear of an insufficient harvest, and although condi- tions even now improving to such an extent that the notably bad bread is being rapidly bettcred, plans already being considered for the confsca- ing the 1915 harvest of wheat of various kinds to avoid high prices super-induced by speculation.
 It is proposed to create, from the present war flour control commission, state organization, into whose hands the entire confiscated crop would be and whose members would divide the flour evenly and equably. The farmers are not at all to the confiscation of the crop and the of a uniform price for their product but they oppose the central organization pIan and prefer that the flour pass into the control of the dis trict commissions. It is only the members of the produce associations and bourses who oppose the confiscation and uniform price ideas.

BRITISH SCIENTISTS FIND
 SKELETON OF \ MAMMOTH

LONDON, July 29.-The skeleton of a man. moth, of the largest ever found is being dsin- tered near Chatham, in the south of England by a a staff of scientists from the British Museum
 The creature about 13 feet high, and the tusks measure nine feet each. Isolated bones of the species have been discovered in England before but never complete skeleton.
 Great care is exercised in excavating the bones, and as each is uncovered it is cased in plaster of paris and removed to a warehouse. Some of the bones are so heavy that it requires four to lift them on a truck.

COLOGNE, July 29.-When the German army moved in and took possession of Laon last fall they found curious shortage of wine in a section of France where wine ordinarily is about plentiful as water
 Then one day a French shell landed inadver- tenty on what appeared to be the grave of a French soldier and it's explosion was followed by the sound of breaking glass The Germans investigated and found that the "grave" was in reality small wine cellar The French had merely buried their wine and erected a cross to disarm suspicion.
 A careful scrutiny of the numerous "gravos' around Laon kept the hospitals supplied for some time, but eventually the supply again gave out

Where Diamonds Come From.

IN the great diamond fields of South
L Africa the stones are found in what
are called pipes" round or oval stems
of a peculiar sort OF rock, several
acres in extent at the top and running
down to unknown depths. Near the
surface this rock, rich in iron. is dis
integrated by exposure to the weather
precious gems are readily extracted
from the friable rock.
Farther down the pipe takes on Il
different character. The rock becomes
comparatively hard. blue mass, much
more difficult to work. Yet it is still
sprinkled through with diamonds, lying
made them. This blue rock must be
exposed to the weather or be treated
with water before It will yield up Its
trea sureS.
It is clear, from the nature and sp-
pearauce of the diamond bearing rock,
that it is of volcanic origin and that
the pipes are evidently the neckS OF
ancient volcanoes, whose fires dled out
probably thousands of years ago.
When one considers that the diamond
burns and is consumed at a high tenn
gems contained in those ancient pipes
of rock were brought there from the
interior of the earth while the rock
was in a molten condition. 1t is far
more probable that, under peculiar
conditions of pressure and temperature,
they were formed where they are now
found while the rock was cooling off.
1t remains to be learned what were
the real conditions of their formation.
