DIAMONDS DIMMED BY WAR
An important Industry That Almost
Has Been Paralyzed In
Two Years.

The diamond trade in Europe Is well,
nigh wiped out by the war, an eX-
change observes. The great diamond
monopoly in South Africa, it is said,
will pass its dividends and maybe sus-
pend business entirely. The custom
of "valorizing" Misunderstanding
back the output to keep up prices
has left the big mining company with
a heavy stock on hand.
This year, at least, many people in
Europe who wear diamonds, far from
wanting more, are going to find it con-
venient, not to say necessary, to sell
those they have. This will lower prices
and more than satisfy the feeble de-
mand 1t would not be surprising if a
goodly stock of European jewelry were
to find its way to this country at bar
gain prices.
Europe is in no mood to buy gew-
gaws. Cold cash looks as good to
thousands Of property owners as food
to millions who own nothing. A dia.
mond mine is no place to look for a
job yet while.

Nitrates From the Air.

In the American Magazine Albert
W. Atwood tells how the DuPontS and
the Rockefellers are developing proc
esses for extracting the nitrogen gas
from the atmosphere.
"The DUPONT interests control and
propose to develop in this country the
process most extensively employed
abroad. One of the newest processes,
the one upon which the Rockefeller en-
terprise is based, consists of liQuify-
ing air. Until 1898, when two scien-
lists, one in England, the other in Po-
land, almost simultaneously made the
discovery, no one had ever made air
stream down like water. The process
consists Of reducing the air to very
low temperature by means of powerful
compresSors. The process is already
in successful commercial operation in
France and the Societe de PAir Lii
guide of that country is one of the
large stockholders in the Air Reduction
company Of New York, in which Percy
Rockefeller is the largest owner. The
American company proposes to install
a plant in every state, and believes
that each plant will be able to produce
100000 cubic feet Of nitrogen daily.
Rockefeller has gathered around him
as directors men who are not accus-
toned to entering upon purely vision
ary enterprises"

EVEN TO BOTTOM DC OCEAN
Divers Have to Go When Milady
Wants Certain Decoration for
Her Headsear.

To the bottom of the Chesapeake
bay went American manufacturers of
artificial flowers in quest of certain
decoration for milady'S headgear, when
the war cut off the German supply.
They found it, and the bureau of fish
cries, which aided the manufacturers
in the search of the product, all of
which heretofore came from Germany,
says it is worth $3.50 a ton. And Chesa-
peake bay is just full of it, and even
better than that formerly supplied by
Germany.
The product is a species of fern,
brown in color, which grows in album
dance attached to the rocks and shells
in the bed of Chesapeake bay. BY dye
ing various shades are produced, and,
in addition to being used on women's
hats, it Is used for house decorations.
Secretary Redfeld said that it is
the beginning of Il new industry. The
bureau of fisheries loaned the Fish
hawk, one of it's vessels, to Balti-
more artificial flower manufacturer to
engage in the explorations for the
fern. Efforts are now being made to
have fishermen bring in the product,
for all which they can obtain $3.50
ton.

WhaIeskin Auto Tires.

Mr.. Motorist, here is a chance to get
a whale" of an auto tire and start
a new industry in southern California.
All you have to do is to go to Long
Beach, borrow a boat, go out and catch
yourself q whale, skin him and you
have material for the tire.
Capt. ]. L. Loop, snatcher Of whales
from the briny deep, says so. Also he
declares that the skin of the California
gray whale is exceedingly tough and
has the elasticity of rubber. 1t is
more than half an inch thick on full
grown whales, he says. Captain Loop,
who has captured many whales in
southern California waters, declares
he has been experimenting with whale
hide and has discovered its adaptable
ity for use in tire malling.-Los An

CARE or CID MANUSCRIPTS
Valuable Relies Are Now Preserved az
Might Be the Finest Works
of Art.

There are not fifty persons In the
United States who are skilled in the
preservation and repairing OF OLD
manuscripts. One of them, says the
University of Wisconsin Bulletin, may
be found working on the third floor
of the Wisconsin historical library
building at Madison, one of the six or
seven institutions in the country that
carry on such work scientifically.
About a generation or two ago
priest in the Vatican library at Rome
originated and developed the process
now in use in the taking care Of old
papers. Until last year there was none
of this work which was high grade
and scientific done in this country
west of the Alleghanies. All work that
the university had done was sent to
Massachusetts. Last July the process
was introduced to the state historical
library.
The first thing done in the process
of preserving the letters Is to place
them between wet newspapers under
O weight and leave them for FIVE or six
hours. This removes the creases and
the dirt. Then they are put between
woodpulp boards and left "a hours and
then between blotters to complete the
drying process. The next step Is to
repair the paper. The paper of some
of these letters is so old when received
that it falls to pieces If struck. This
Is strengthened by layer of crepo-
line, transparent cloth, on both sides
of the piece of paper. Other letters
need mending along the edges with
parchment paper. To cover holes
piece of paper is glued over the edges
and is left larger than the hole until
dry. 1t Is then cut down to the proper
size and the edges are sandpapered
until smooth. After all such repairs
are made the letters are mounted on
large white sheets and prepared for
binding.

DECALOGUE FOR THE LAW
Bavarians Are Asked Not to Go to
Court While the War Is
Going On.

In the Bavarian courts a novel at
tempt is being made to suppress the
national passion for going to law by
display of the following "ten COM
mandments" in the courthouses:
/. Avoid lawsuits, especially in this
grave time Of war.
2. Thou knowest perhaps the begin
ming, but thou canst not divine the
end.
8. Thou savest much money, time
and anxiety.
4. Before starting litigation try to
compromise amicably.
5. Let thy prospective opponent tell
his side, and then perhaps thou wilt
myself see new light.
6.-Listen to the judge when he pro-
poses a settlement; he means it we'll.
7. Always draw up thy agreements
in writing. Read them carefully be-
fore thou signest, then thou wilt avoid
obscurity and possess myself Of
proofs.
S. Remember that only that which
thou canst prove counts in court.
9. Drive not thy opponent to ex-
tremes. Thou mayest some day need
him.
10. Run not to the courts with thy
petty squabbles.

Athletics Good Nerve Tonic.

Practically every man who has been

is healthy outdoor exercise, which eX
plains why it is that back at the base
camps, where the regiments are sent

never fourished among so many men
before. In both the British and French
army organizations officers are espe
cially detailed to see that the men
back from the front get out into the
open and replenish through participa
ton in varied forms of athletics the
nerve cells which can be best repaired
through sending the blood coursing
through the system.-Outing.

ArchanueI.

There have been numerous refer
ences of late to the Russian port,
Archangel, which is now declared to
be open for some weeks beyond the
usual period owing to the beneficent
activities Of improved ice-breakers. But
the links of Archangel with this coun'
try are little recognized. Yet the &C.
count Of a Morse trading expedition
there in the ninth century was de.
scribed, or translated, by no less a
parsonage than Alfred the Great, and
the modern town dates from the visit
of an English voyager, William Chan.
cellor, in the middle of the sixteenth
century. Soon after that visit an Eng
lish factory was established, fort was
built, and around this the town grew
up.

Better Than Faucets.

Foot power is required to wash your
hands in one of the new washbowls
designed for use in schools, public in
situations and offices, as well as pri-
vate homes. The faucets supplying
the water have no handles. They are
operated by pedals underneath the
stand. Pressing one pedal gives hot
water and the other supplies cold.
This permits the user to have his wa
ter at the temperature he desires.
AS soon as the pressure upon pedal is
released, it's waterfow stops. Physi-
clans and dentists find this foot con-
trolled water supply a great con-
venience because it does not require
the use Of hand to secure water. 1t
is claimed that it would lessen the
water waste in all public places where
the waShstand is in almost continual
use.

Wolf Chummed With Doc.

A timber wolf recently ran about
the streets of this city in company
with Russian wolf hound. No one
recognized the wolf as an animal moi
commonly found in civilized commun
tiles, although the animal appeared
on the principal streets for several
days.
1t was taken for a dog until the
local papers reported the escape OF
the animal from cage at the home
of William Seagel at Durand. The
wolf was coaxed back to it's cage by
catching the dog and leading it into
the inclosure.-Owasso Correspond.

CONFEDERATE MONEY BURNED
Hundred-DolIar Bills Converted to
Mere Cartons for
Lamps.

Twenty years ago there was still q
large supply of the paper money IS
sued by the Confederate governemnt
during the Civil war. Today not much
of it is met with, and even the con-
fidence men have to resort to real
counterfeits. What has become of 1t?
asks the New York Sun.
There is man in Atlanta who can
answer that question, for he. has dis
posed of millions of it. Through some
scores of commercial travellers with
whom he was acquainted, he was for
some years buying up all the Confeder-
ate bills that could be procured, at
a price that seemed to many too
high for what was, after all, worthless
paper.
In turn he sold it to the Edison
company for a good price. For GER
tain small incandescent lamps which
the Edison people were manufacture
ing a certain kind of carbon was
needed, which could best be obtained
from paper made out of sea grass.
That kind of paper is not made any
more. But the confederate money was
all made out of sea grass paper.
From this the carbons for the lamps
could be manufactured. Now that the
sea grass paper can no longer be
had, bamboo is being used instead, but
it is not quite so good.

PREHISTORIC VASE is FOUND
Blasting for Drainage Ditch in Nebras-
ka Uncovered a Remark
able Relic.

c. F. Buchholz of this city has charge
of company of men who are dyna-
hitting a drainage ditch east of here
about four miles, says the Falls City
correspondent of the Omaha World
Herald. The purpose is to loosen the
dirt so it may wash and both widen
and deepen the ditch and prevent over
flows. The dynamite shakes side walls
and bottom.
After an explosion the other day a
large portion of the south side wall
caved down, exposing a large vase
about nine feet below the surface. The
workmen thought the pot might con-
tain valuables and made further in
vestigation, which disclosed no Span
ish gold, but the pot itself is fine ex-
ample Of the work of the prehistoric
race which inhabited this section in
bygone ages. The pot is blackened on
it's interior as if it were from fire. 1t
was imbedded in stiff clay and the
ground about showed no appearance of
having been disturbed. A number OF
photographs of the pot before it was
removed were taken to show the depth
and location.
The pot was found to be about eight
cen inches deep with an opening at the
top about the size of an ordinary table
plate, while it might measure three
feet in circumference at the middle.
Some distance farther down the ravine
some bones were found.
The pottery was brought to town and
will be reassembled, as the blasting
powder used in the ravine had caused
parts to crack and drop out.

What Is Good Rope.

Rope is sold by the pound, so that
there is always the temptation for a
dishonest. manufacturer to "load" his
product with an excess of oil or other
material, or to make the coil a trife

full rope price for oil, etc. Then,
