India,s Hoarded Treasure.

The "hoarded treasure OF India is
estimated by the Financial Review at
oyer s400, 100000. Most of this is be-
ueved to be hidden in comparatively
small sums. 1t Is q financial axiom
In London that all the gold and silver
which is sent to India annually by the
British government is Immediately alb
sorbed and passes quickly out of cir
culation. In India, however, the ex-
tstence of any really important hid
den wealth is declared a myth.

Solar Surface Temperature.

The latest estimate of the absolute
temperature of the solar surface is
that Of Il. Biscoe Of Warsaw, whose
computation is based upon the In
tensity of radiation for individual
waye-length in the solar spectrum as
obtained with the spectro-bolometer at
the Smithsonian astrophysical observa-
tory. He gets an average of 1900 de-
grees plus 100 degrees Centigrade.

Good WAY to Test Diamonds.

Suspected diamonds are frequently
tested by placing them between two
coins and pressed hard with the
fingers. 1t is said to be impossible to
make the smallest impression on a real
diamond, but in the case Of a paste
article, the edge may be crushed. The
effect can be discerned by a critical ex-
animation with a lens.

dent of Williams college, fuel admins
traitor, fixed anthracite prices for pro-
ducers and jobbers and set limit on
profits to be made by bituminous
wholesalers.
The next and final step will be to
make regulations for coal distribu-

Gus retail prices. This will be done
when a distribution program is per-
lected and when the federal trade com
mission has completed plan under
which retail profits may be fixed.
The coal administration will be or

completed his work of recommending
to the food administration a govern
ment price for the 1917 wheat crop.
Under the law giving the president

ALLIED OFFENSIVE IS
COSTLY TO GERMANS

London.--The allies present great
offensive, increasingly boring ahead,
Las already cost the Germans and
.Austrians close to 100000 men in dead
and wounded and at least $1,000 pris-
oners on the British, French and Ital-
ian fronts.
Germany is starting an offensive of
her own against the Russian lines.
The drive has already gained ground
on the Riga front.
The British theory is that the Ger
man war chiefs, apprehensive of loss
of public morale because of the enor-
nous losses and forced giving away on
the Western and Italian fronts, have
started a military move which they
will use to keep other front news sub
ordinated.
The Russian army's weakness in
munitions and supplies permits a
relatively small force of we'll organ
lied Germans to make a strong i'm
preston against them.
