TAUGHT USE or PL0WSHARE
Said to Have Encouraged Agri-
culture in That Country.

In Europe the most significant Of
the gifts of the soil are wheat and
flax; in China they are silk and rice.
Old Chinese myths name Shen-nung
or Siennung the "divine laborer," a
Legendary emperor who is said TO have
reigned in the first half of the third
millennium before Christ, as the ia
first made wooden plowshare and
taught the people how to use it. Shen-
nung was one of the three emperors
whom legend reveres as founders Of
the Chinese social system. 1t was
Shen-tsan, or Sien-tsan. the wife of
Huang-ti, another of the three. who
taught the people the rearing of silk
worms and the treatment of cocoons
and threads and the weaving of silken
garments, so that her subjects might
no longer suffer from 'chapped and
frost-bitten skin"
The sanctuary Of Shen-nung is still
standing, south Of Pekin, II. Meyer
Riefstahl writes in Asia Magazine.
Here the last emperor Of China used
TO come every year to bring sacrifice
to the presiding divinity and to open
a furrow in the soil with his own
hands. The ceremony is very ancient.
Even in the sixth century there was
an imperial field that formed a sane
tuary fourteen Ii south Of the capital.
There, in the first months of spring,
on day of good augury, sacrifices of
a steer, sheep and a pig were made
to Shen-nung and TO Hou-tsi. The en-
peror, clad in his state robes and the
ritual bonnet, entered the golden char
lot of state and performed thEice the
ritual OF sacrifice. After this the cere-
mony of blowing took place.
To the north of the city, in olden
times, Shen-tsan had an altar. Later
the shrine was transferred to the pre-
cinct of the palace, where the en-
press presided over the rearing of
silkworms and the production of silk.
Old records mention the mulberry
grove of the empress and her pavilion
for the rearing of silzworms. Toward
the middle of spring in ancient times,
the chief Of the court would sum-
non the empress to the grounds north
Of the city to begin the fearing of
silkworms. The ladies OF the palace
and the wives of high Gfgnitaries aid
ed her in the task After fasting and
sacrificing to Shen-tsan, the empress
and the concubires of the emperor
themselves gathered the mulberry
leaves. The silk obtained was used
for the sacrificial robe Of the emperor.

HAS DIAMOND ElAE
Only One on Western Hemisphere
Is Located in Arkansas.
Gems Are Found in the Crater of an
Extinct Volcano in Pike County
First Found in 1906.

Murphreesb0ro, Ark.-The only dia-
mond mine thus far discovered on the
western hemisphere is located in Pike
county, Arkansas, in which this ham
let is situated. The mine is two and
q half miles south of here.
The diamonds are found in a
pipe" the crater of an extinct volca-
no which ages age boiled up through
the surface, had its terrific heat chilled
by the water of an inland sea, and
left bits of carbon scattered through
out the peridotite which now fills the
crater, to be pressed into diamonds by
tire contraction of the rock. The peri
d0tite forms the original matrix of the
diamond, and thus far the only dia-
monds found in the western hemis-
phere in their matrices are those of
Pike county.
Diamonds have been found In some
twenty-five states, in Canada and
South America, but always in river
beds where, biologists surmise, they
have been aashed by the waters, or
in places where it is presumed they
have been deposited by glacial action.
The first Arkansas diamond was
found in 1906 by John Huddleston
then owner of the farm on which the
sixty-acre "pipe" is located, by acct
dent. Huddleston observed outcrop-
pings of the gray-green rock, since
classed as peridotite, and came to the
conclusion that his hillsides contained
valuable mineral, perhaps copper. AT
ter pecking around without finding
anything which looked to him like
mineral, he picked up crystal, and
Then one day, showed 1T to some
friends in Murphreesboro. A Little
Rock jeweler pronounced it diamond,
and mac sure by verifications by
jewel experts in New York.
The mining operations i'm Arkansas
for several years, at least, will be far
different from those of the South
African fields, although the formations
are the same.
In Africa deep shafts are sunk, the
peridotite Is brought to the surface
and spread on drying floors for periods
ranging from six TO eighteen months.
The rock has. the peculiar quality of
disintegrating when exposed TO the air.
In Arkansas, however, except for
few places. the peridotite already has
disintegrated to depth of about
twenty feet, and mixed with vegetable
