The Home of the Precious Stones Is a Grey Rock Called "Blu: Ground,' the Origin of Which Remains : Mystery -- Kaffir "Boys" Dig Out the Lumps and Get 8 Percentage on Their Finds. At Kimberley, Cape Colony, is prob ably the biggest lu in the world the old "Central" Mine--with a space measurement at tl surface of 14 acres, and a deg { some 400 feet There are, in addition geveral smaller ones, four other enormous ercavgtions," all witnessing to the tireless energy of men in a harry & bé rich. Phe diamonds are found in a grey rock called "blue ground," which fills a "pipe" or natural shaft of unknown depth, widening towards the surface ito funnel shape. Below the few feel of red sand on the surface comes the "yellow ground," -- lime -- for fifty or sixty feet. Underneath that is the "blue ground," which, although the "yel low ground" is not without diamonds is the true diamond-bearing rock Scientists believe that these "pipes are the craters of extinet voleanoes, and thal at some time when the sur rounding country was under water, this diamondiferous rock was forced up in the form of volcanic mud. How and when and where the diamonds were formed rernains a mystery, but they are undoubtedly of earlier date than the rock which encloses them The first mining operations restricted to digging the earth.

Here was the opening for the capi- talist, who soon superseded the *'dig- | ger." area already operated upo-- with gal leries running towards the centre, un- til the "blue" was tapped. In 1388 Messrs. Rhodes, Barnato, and Beit, having bought out the. smaller hold- | ers, formed the De Beers Consolidat- | ed Mines, Limited, that great corpor- ation whieh has ever since controlled the diamond mining industry. The main shaft at the "Central" connects with the "pipe" of blue ground by means of several galleries, tie distance from shaft to "pipe" be- ing 1,134 fees, Armed with the necessary permit, obtained at the De Beers offices, we make for the "Central," and seek t! « courteous manager, who shows us into a sort of dressing-room. Here we strip ,and re-¢lothe ourselves in a special suit in which we may more suitably face the heat and dirt of the descent. The outfit includes flannel shirt, "duck," or | some such material, the articles being decidedly the worse for wear. Instead ; of braces or belt, a looped leather t ong does duty. An aneéient sou'- wester with ear-flaps, and tied under the chin, a pair of socks that have scen service, 'and rubber Wellington boots complete - the costume.

Some drill holes in the rock ready for | blasting; others gather up the frag. | ments into small steel trucks, which are pushed along on rails to the "shoot" which conveys the "blue" down to the 1200-foot level, These "boys" handle many a lump with u jortune hidden in it. times their quick eyes detect the "stone," and not being without the desire for peli, they covet, like Achan, and, like Achan, take--if they can do so unnoticed. They will make an in- cision in their flesh as a secure hid- | ing-place for their "find," and even | swallow stones. To encourage the "boys" to give up. what they find, they are allowed a percentage on the value of the diamonds.

It is described in the introduetion, we learn from the "Times of India," as "the first at tempt by a purely orthodox Pundit te dramatize in Sauskrit" the Durbar which here, as in many other Indian writings, is wrongly described as a coronation. The subject ia admitted to be "too grand to form the plot of a small drama like this." The list of dramatis personae is very sugges- tive. It includes, for instance, "two postmen, a bard, his pupil, bishops, English and Indian heralds." The or- der in which these dignitaries aré ar. ranged is not quite according to Gov- ernment House rules. 80 dis ----. Loved Her Pipe. An elderly woman was entering a compartment of a train at Johnston (Pembrokeshire) when one of a num- hor of men in the compartment said: 'This is a 'smoker'." The old Wo- man, however, took her seat, saying: "1 am a smoker myself." She ex. plained that she had smoked for 15 TORS, and acquired the habit when se was ih a hospital, a doctor hav. ing advised her that pe only cure for her complaint was to smoke. =] would rather go to bed without my supper than without my smoke," she added.

He came in for a little money, and was foolish enough to return to England, where he ran through every penny of his legacy and forged a fri ; name to a large check. He was convicted and sent to Portland for five years. As soou as he was out he was at his old games again, and when I knew him was serving his third term as an old lag in Dartmoor. r His favorite game was to stir up other prisoners to attack warders. He would get hold of some half 'balmy' chap and work on his feelings till he was ready for any violence. But he was far too cute to run his own skin into danger, and, although we ward. ers knew well enough who was at the bottom of the trouble, we never could get evidence to convict him. His end was a curious one. A dupe of his who had been flogged for hitting a warder turned him and stabbed him with a cobbler"s awl. He died in hospital a week later, and we breathed more freely.

Many instances of the marvelous in nature are supplied by the vegetable kingdom. Though our k ledge of the mysteries of plant life are limited, we have abundant evidence that many plants are as wonderful in their way as certain members of the animal kingdom. Take, for instance, that specimen of a ttle known tree whose inner bark is a very perfect example seems to be valued nafive races on the island of jamaica where it grows. Nowhere else by on earth has this singular trée been | P found, and even in Jamaica its growtl is confined to a small pal of the is- land. It was discovered and perman- ently introduced to the botanical gar- dens of England and Europe as early as 1844. In fact, a hall century ear- Tier, in 1793, a young lace-bark tree was brought to the Kew Gardens of England by Rear Admiral William Bligh, but it did not live lgpg in its new home. The inner bark of this singular tree con s of reticulated fiber in layers, one for each year of its life, and when properly prepared this material exact. ly resembles well made lace. The la- dies of Jamaica are extermely dex. terous in making caps, ruffles, nets, bonnets, veils and complete suits of lace with it. It bears washing ex. tremely well, with common soap, and soquires a degree of whiteness equal to that of the best manufactured lace. Thé wild negroes have made apparel with it of a very dyrable nature, but the common use to which it is applied is ropd making. The Spaniards are said to have worked it into very strong ropes, and the Indians employ it in a variety of different fabrics.

A comparison of the recorded dates of earthquakes seems to show that they have ocecurred most frequently in the winter half of the year. Three: fifths of those chronicled in France took place during the winter months, and the proportion seems more marked in Switzerland, while the same law has been observed with re. gard to earthquakes in Britain. The most severe of the 260 earthquakes recorded in England were those at Lincoln in 1142, at Glastonbury in 1274, when the original abbey was de- stroyed; and the shocks of 1580, which damaged Old St. Paul's and the Temple Church, and of 1750, which frightened to" death the poetaster, Aaron Hill.
