The gar net slipped off, but the diamond re- mained This was worth investigat- ing. He found that there was a coal ing of grease on the hoard which had retained the diamond, but: not the garnet. He procdred a wider board, coated one side of it with grease, and dumped a few handfuls of concen- trates on it Then he found that by holding the board in a slightly inclined position and vibrating it, all the concentrates except the diamonds moved the lower wind and fell off, while the dia- monds remained in place. Then invented a machine by which his dis. covery might be utidized. Consider able study was required to perfect the apparatus, but at last machine was completed, and the hig diamond men were invited to witness the new method of separating diamonds from the west of the concentrates. The in- veution was an entire ps more simple and complete saving time, labor, and loss of dia- monds eould not be imagined. The entire work is now done by machin- ery; hand-picking has whaoll superseded, and both the inventor and he mine-owners have profited hand somely by the labor-saving .device. a at ne super- sgriing- ved a rougi 1 to he the ice for been iy The Brush Turkey. The brush turkey, which is in Australia. New Guinea, the mon Islands, Borneo and many other parts of the globe and which is a dis tant relalive of grouse and the pheasant, belongs to the moundbuild- ers, or megapodes, and is remarkable in that it anticipated man as the in ventor of the incubator by a few hun. dred thmsand years or ge, When the ng season' arrives two or more hens, with the assistance perhaps. of a cock, build an immense heap of soil, mixed with decaying ieaves and twigs. These mounds in New Guinea are sometimes 11 high and 25 feet in diameter apd some have been found 15 feet in height and in circumference. The hens scrape with their enormously fect (henes mega found Boio- the nes feet large podes) a it heap and in it deposi the number of a score wards "covering over the course of time the heat generated by the decaying vegetal hatches the eggs. The chicks, which have been ving and fattening on the food yolk, grow nd shed their nestiing down and develop their first suit of feathers while still within the walls of their ivory "cradles." When at last they cut their way out of the shell, they rest for a few hours in the mound; then they wriggle out, the quill sheaths peel off and they eannot only run but fly alone. hoe What Did He Get? A certain English comedian engag ed a particular Dublin jarvey to drive him 'to his hotel. 3 "What do I owe you, Pat?' he ask- ed, at the end of tha journey "I laive it to yerself, yer 'onour!" said the coachman. "No, no," retorted the comedian "You must tell me what the amount is, or else I shall have to call a con- stable and ask him what the proper fare comes to." "Well, yer 'onour, its loike this,' said the jarvey. "When the late Sir Henry Irving came to Dublin he used to give me & sovereign; Mr. Lewis Waller gave me five.and-twenty shil- lings, and Mr. Martin Harvey thirty shillings: but, begorra, you're a better actor than any of them, so I laive it to yersell." . What the cabby finally got is not stated. His Craze for Whiskers. King Alionso, who recently spent an enjoyable holiday in this country, has not of late been indulging in any new whisker effects. . Three years ago, during an absence from Spain, His Majesty, in order to relieve the monotony, or create a sen- sation, or for some ocoult reason, grew side whiskers and had his hair cut short. It was said that the King thought this arrangement made him look like a British admiral, but Queen Victoria soon dispelled' this aimable delusion by telling her august spouse that he looked 'more like an English' butler." Straighiway King Alfonsc went and had a shave. Burmese Women Vote.

These | are: (1) Blood letting (apparently re- | ferred to by some writers as 'counter | irritation') and (2) magic. In regard | to the latter there are certain in the community known as doctors. Their treatment is by songs and| dances, with sometimes a sieight-ol- | hand trick or two, and neither the | invalid nor the sudience take any ac- | tive part. The details are somewhat complicated, and I have seen no per- | formance so far. After the perform. | ance the doctor is paid--in the old | days the fee went as high as two to thiee whaling uniaks (big skin boats), | If the invalid is poor everybody gives | the doctor sometlling -- a fox-skin, spear, bag of oil, or other things of | value. If the man treated ¢ with- in the year his wile or ¢! set | the feé back--under other conditions | the fee is retained. . It would seem that little progress | is being made by the religious workers among. the Kogmolliks, but | in the mstier of secular instruction | it is different. A surprisingly large number can read and write a little, In the evenings the people play whist, casino, and other games with cards, | as well as checkers and dominoes. In | these games all members of the family, from about 10 to 12 years of age, usually join. Cleanliness is ine | creasing. Everyone washes with soap | and water every morning, and the wo. | men especially frequently take sponge | { baths. Bo far as Mr. Stefansson can | isee the Eskimo people are learning | more of good than bad from the whites." | S------------------ Dearth of Seals. 1 : | i dd i s » Reports from St. John's, Newfound. land, state that the sealing fleet of | Newfoundland had the worst season | in the history of the sealing indgstry. | The total catch so far is only 50,000 seals, which is less than one' boat secured in 1910. The fleet comprised 2,000 mén and many vessels, hey struck: an ice "pan™ with 30,000 seals which they | speedily slaughtered. Then followed | a hunt by steamers, ploughing through the ice for the main herd, which usually floats down on ice from the Polar regions. The search was kept up for hun. dreds of miles through the ice in every direction, but without success. The fleet then sailed south to find the main herd but in vain. The aver. age catch is 300,000 skins, representing | a million dollars. This meant a stagger: blow to the general trade | of the colony. . International Boundary Survey. The international boundary survey rty which has been marking the! ine between Alaska and Yukon Ter- | ritory has cothpleted the task of sur. yveying the 1 ineridan from the Pacific to the Arctic Geean. At the north end of the line a bronze monument' was placed just out of reach of the highest waves and smaller monuments were set avery three miles along the line.
