NEW SOURCE OF TuRpENTIhE
Tree in Central India to Be Looked
70 for Supply OF Really
Good Quality.

Turpentine oil and rosin are already
being produced on. commercial scale
In India by the distillation of pine
,rosin. A new source Of supply which,
though comparatively small, may be
valuable, especially for Indian use, has
now been found in frankincense or
olibanum.. This material is obtained
by the natives by making incisions IN
the stems OF Boswellia serrata, tree
widely distributed throughout the dry
zone forests of Central India. The
resinous substance which exudes from
the cuts contains kind of turpentine.
4 rosin and gum.
Investigations Of the methods OF sep
arating these constituents in market
able form have been conducted since
1912 by the forest authorities in India
In cooperation with the Imperial in
stttute, and the results have been pub
lished recently In a paper by 4. 5.
Pearson, forest economist, and Puran
Singh, chemical adviser, at the Forest
Research institute, Dehra Dun. The
general conclusion reached, based on
the results of numerous trials, is that
the turpentine Oil is equal to good
quality american turpentine oil.

The Kaisers Kitchen.

In what is destined to be the last
stage Of it's travels, the field kitchen
Of William Hohenzollern, which had
followed the former Kaiser in all his
wanderings about Europe during the
war, is on its way to the United
States. AS if to give the changing OF
hands more significant aspect, Ger
man prisoners Of war were requisi-
toned to load the field kitchen-with
sll its elaborate accessories-aboard
the westbound transport at ST. Ma
zaire. The portable ''kochenhaus,'
shows no sign of the wear and tear OF
war, indicating certain remoteness
TO the battle front of all connected
with the once imperial suite. The
trophy, it is intended, shall be added
to q notable collection Of war relies
at the American capital; whether it IS
to be utilized in the ways approved
BY the former kaiser is, Of course, an
other matter.

Abyssinian Likes American Styles.
seI would like to see Abyssinian wom-
en- dress like American women" is a
remark credited to Prince Nadoa, the
head Of the Abyssinian mission In this
country. This may be merely q bit
Of oriental fatterF or it may be an
indication Of the princes bravery. 1t
should be remembered, first, that the
sovereign of Abyssinia is woman, and
q a scenda, T the queen whose ele-
gance and >..utr Of costume dazzled
King Soiomon,s court, and in the next
place that in Abyssinia style does not
change more than once every thou
sand years, and that for that length
of time the life of a man is free from
all pecuniary worries incident to
changing fashions and new dresses.
Without any intention Of forecasting
trouble for the prince, 1t might be
suggested that if this story should
precede him he will have some ex-
plantations to make either to the queen
or to the husbands and fathers Of
Abyssinia.

HIGH PRICES FOR DIAMONDS
Value Of the Highly Desired sparkIers
Has Been Soaring to Unheard-
Of Heights.

The economic situation Of the world
at large is said by jewelers. to be
more responsible fer the present high
prices Of diamonds than any shortage
Of diamonds in the South African
mines or any manipulation Of the out
put by the De Beers Diamond com
pany.
The following figures concerning dia-
mond prices were obtained from Ant
werp, the European center of the dia-
mond market. An uncut diamond be
fore the war cost $23 a carat and S32
after cutting. Immediately after the
declaration Of war, the price sfumped.
In 1915 the Germans began to get
nervous regarding the value Of paper
money and started buying all the dia-
monds they could find.
France, Switzerland, Italy and Eng
land followed suit and the price went
up rapidly. On the eve of the armis-
tiee, an uncut carat diamond was
worth $40. Since the war ended, the
diamond market has doomed, owing to
the depreciation of European money,
the difficulty Of exchange and the en-
barge on the export Of currency from
one European nation to another. To
day carat of uncut stone finds a
ready market at $50.
The Antwerp merchants no longer
seek customers. The market is swamp
ed with buyers. Credit is no longer
given. The sales are for cash. The
buyer frequently resells and the new
purchaser sells again at fat profits.
Thus the price keeps going up. Large
stones are snapped up at unheard Of
prices.
