Press (San Francisco), and there is a huge deposit under its -waters, off the African coast. now dredged from the sea-bottom, but the original source has never yet been tapped: Diamond-mining, the writer tells us, is now the principal industry in southwest ‘Africa. Dia- monds were first discovered in 1908, during railway construction, in the valley sands of the coastal desert, and have since been recovered over a stretch of 270 miles between latitude 28 and 24 degrees S. However, there are wide intervals where no stones” have been found; dnd none has been discovered at a greater diStance than fiftee: miles from the coast. He goes on: Various} eorids have been, ad-, vanced as to the origin of these dia-| monds, but the theory to which facts appear most satisfactorily to lend themselves is that the diamonds are of sea origin. It is generally believed, by geologists that primary deposits exist under the sea within the area between Possession Island and Po- mona on the mainland. The stones already found by dredging in the sea are believed to have thrown up on the floor ofthe oceam by volcanic action, while the stones on the main- land, according to this theory, have ashed tp and carried by the wind in the drifting sand dunes. An- other fact w= geologists believe substantiates their theory is that the been up juat south of Pomona, which indicates that the centre from which the gems were distributed is ) Situated in closer proximity to a ia aarts onychopha i oa its first ‘soutiiern part of the Pomona clai than to any other section of the fields.

The layman answers “nervousness”; the physician says “ a dl gestive disturbance.’’ Probably both explanations are correct—some one of therm in every case, all of them in many cases. A person cannot suffer digestive or other derangements very long without becoming nervous, and everyone knows that nervousness re- acts on all the bodily functions. “Whether nail-biting, scientifically known as onychophagia, is a ‘symp- ~~ e eo e - ee ee ee * tom of degeneracy’ or merely an un-} important habit,” says L.
