demand for the products was largely
artificial and knowledge Of that TACT
by the blind man did not help to make
his lot easier.
But at Evergreen, as at st. Dun
STAINS, the purpose of such instruction
is to educate the fingers so they may
pass on to more important things
Similarly typewriting is taught TO
every one, not that all may become
professional typists, but because it is
good finger and mind exercise and
gives the blind man, who finds it viz
tually impossible to write legibly with
pen or pencil, a means of written COM
munication. Typewriting, when mas
tered with stenOgraphy and the dicta-
phone, also may be made means OF
livelihood.
The elective courses as planned at
Evergreen are classed as professional,
commercial, industrial. agricultural
and home work. The professional
work, except for massage, piano tuning
and bookbinding, will be under the di-
rcction of the federal board of yOca-
,tional education. An industrial survey
: has been made, enabling the govern
ment to classify industry properly and
determine the physical requirements
necessary for the various types OF
| work. When an occupation seemingly
suitable for the blind is found a time
study motion picture is made of the
most skilled man found in the plant.
-, These pictures are to be the text books
for the instructors of the blind SOL
diers.
To fit men for commercial work
courses are being developed in bust
ness economics. craftsmanship, office
management. the use of Office equip
ment and the principles of accounting
and bookkeeping. Agricultural courses,
primarily for those who come from
and must return to rural homes, in
clude classes in poultry raising, dairy
farming and market gardening.
What Red Cross Is Doing.
To do anything that will help the
blinded fighters at Evergreen and after
their discharge the Red Cross Institute
for the Blind is cooperating with the
hospital and the vocational educational
board. 1t has quarters in building
adjoining the Garrett estate. 1t has es-
tablished library room with raised
print copies of entertaining literature,
has provided volunteer teachers, and
has opened house in Baltimore where
any member of patients family may
stay. If mother. wife, sister or child
can be of assistance to the blinded
man in carrying on his future work
that person may be invited to go to
this house without expense and re-
ceive practical instruction in how best
to help the blind man not only in his
trade or profession, but in his home.
The men remain at Evergreen until
/ ''they reach the highest point of men
tai and physical rehabilitation" They
are discharged by the commanding
officer upon the recommendation Of a
medical survey board. When they are
discharged they cease to be soldiers
and receive Il pension of 500 month.
If the hospital period of convalescence
is not long enough to prepare them
for self-support supplementary educa-
ton is provided by the federal voca-
tional board.

The 381A carat diamond told about in yesterdays press dispatches found
 in the Orange River district recalls history.
 All the famous diamonds of anti Guity must have been Indian stones says an authority. A large stone found in the Colconda mines and said to have weighed 787 carats in
 the rough, before being cut, was seen | in 1865 by Tavernier who estimated it then at 2SQ carats.. The name
 Great Mogul" has been frequently applied to this stone. Tavernier says that it was the famous stone given
 to Shah Jahan by the emir Jumla. The Orloff, stolen by a French sol dier from the eyes of an idol in the Brahim Temple, stolen again by the ships captain, was bought by Prince Orloff for 6O0OO pounds. and given to the Empress Catherine II. Its weight ran 194% carats, was of somewhat yellow tinge and is among the Russian crown jewels.
 lHc hUH-l-HOI, WHiNh Wao III Iioo in the possession of Nadir Shah, the
 Persian conquerer, and in 1883 that
 of the Raja of Lahore, passed into the hands of the East India Company and was by them presented to Queen Victoria in 1850. It then weighed
 186 1-16 carats, but was recut in London by Amsterdam workmen, and now weighs 106 carats. There has been much discussion concerning the possibility of this stone and the Or Iorff being both fragments of the same gem, the Great Mogul."
 The Regent" or Pitt" diamond weighed originally 40 carats and was bought by Pitt, the Governor of Madra for 10000 pounds. It was subsequently sold to the Duke of Or, leans, the Regent of France for 135,- 900 pounds. It was reduced by cut ting to 136 carats. The diamond was stolen several times, and is now in France.
 The 'Florentina" is 133 carats and in the Austrian crown jewels. The Star of the South, weighing 254 carats was found in Brazil. There are any number of smaller famous stones, most of which are crown jew els and are owned by Princes in India.
 Some of the finest and largest gems have come from the Jagersfontein mines, where was found the stone re- ferred to in the press dispatches The Jubilee" found there, weighed $40 carats. The largest stone in the world until 1905, was the Excelsior" found there in 1893 and weighing 971 carats. In 1905 was found a stone that smashed all previous rec crds.
