Sunday as Day of Rest.

Sunday ought to be day for tuning
up the health OF the soul, mind aud
body together 1t does not al present
fulfill this function because ii is treat
ed simply as It day Of idleness. Rest
Is not idlenesS; the best definition Of
it IS unimpeded activity. The old.
fashioned idea that everything ought
to be changed on Sunday-clothes,
books, chlldrens games-had some
wisdom in it. The habits of the work.
ing days were to be broken; we were
TO do just those things which were not
done during the week. So Sunday was
u day apart, a real day Of rerreshmeut /;
il did not make us feel "Mondayisl"--

MEXICO HAS DIAMOND FIELD
Precious Stones Said to Exist in Guam
titles That Will Make Their Min
ing Profitable.

encouragement will be offered by the
Mexican government for the develop
ment of the diamond field in the state
Of GuerrO by private capital, II is au-
thoritatively announced. The existence
of diamonds in mountainous district
Of that southern state has long been
known, but the remOteness Of the local
ity and the difficulty OF getting in and
out Of the district have heretofore pre-
vented anything being done toward
mining the gems.
1t was more than fifty years ago that
the discovery of diamonds there was
made by an officer of the Mexican
army. A collection Of the diamonds
was taken to the City of Mexico and
after being cut they found their way
into the channels OF commerce. Efforts
to relocate the diamond field proved flu
tile and it was not until many years
later that a mining prOspectOr came
upon the formation in which the dia-
mondS were found, He collected a
large number of them in the rough and
took them back to the capital, where
they were placed on exhibition Moth
ing was done, however, toward the de-
velopment of the field.
Not long ago the department OF com.
merce and industry of the Mexican gov
eminent sent an expedition In charge
Of Antonio Lopez, an engineer, to the
locality. Mr.. Lopez reported that his
research had been entirely successful.
Among the diamonds lie brought back
with him was one Of enormous size In
the rough which he turned over to the
/ department of commerce and industry.
/ He made a report to the effect that div.
monds in large quantities are to be
/ found and that the mining can be done
at comparatively little cost

NO RAINBOW AFTER DELUGE
Johns Hopkins University Professor
Explains How the Historic Mis-
understanding Came About.

The rainbow after the deluge, de-
scribed in the book of Genesis 9:13,
was not a rainbow after all, but a
collection Of great 6y-brushes of the
ancient oriental gods, declares Prof.
Paul Haupt of Johns Hopkins uniyer-
sity. Announcement OF his discovery
was made by Doctor Haupt at Couch
er college, at session Of the American
Oriental society, which held its one
hundred and thirty third ccnclaye in
Baltimore.
The mistake In Genesis, said Pro
fessor Huupt probably is due to a
misunderstanding Of character on
one Of the old cuneiform tablets. The
word is how" which could very
easily be mistaken for "hy brush" he
said. These huge feather brushes
were in vogue among the old rulers in
Assyria and Egypt, and were regard
ed as ancient symbols Of sovereignty
In the Orient.
According to Doctor Haupt, the an
clients naturally gave their gods credit
for having hy-brushes, and, in fact, Ia
lire 1874 Of the flood tablet the word
"fly brush" appears as big as life
The passage says that when Istar
sees the gods gather around the Of
ferer like swarm Of flies (because
there had been no offerings during
the Aood), she is SO incensed that she
takes the great hy-brushes of her fn-
ther, Anu (king of the goGs), to drive
away the gods
