Geological formations in Hardin county in the P southeastern part of Illinois resem ble those cf the Johannesburg dis trict, South Africa, and may con tain diamonds, according to an announcement by Francis W. Shep lierdson, director of the State de partment of education. "Hardin county," said Mr. Shop herdson, "is, geologically speaking, a pari of the O'ark mountains. It presents what geologists term a fault. This fault is akin to the formation of the diamond fields of South Africa which are the richest in the world's history. No dia monds have been found in Hardin county yet, but if geological condi tions are not misleading, the pres ence of diamonds is not lmproba ' ble. -One of the world's best fluo spar mines is In this part of Illi nois." Twenty-two diamonds were turn ed up by a farmer's plow in 1912 in the southern part of Illinois. One of these weighed 7 V4 carols. These are the only diamonds ever found In the state More than twenty diamonds have been found in Indiana and a half-dozen In Wisconsin, but these are supposed by geologists to have been washed down from the region of Hudson bay in the glacial age. The only diamond mine In the United Stales Is in Pike county, Arkansas. More 'than 6,000 diamonds have been taken from it Including one of 17V caratn. Pike county Is also geolog ically akin to the Ozarks. The Ar kansas diamond mine was discov ered in 1900, but systematic min ing did hot beirln until last spring. It is now in regular operation.

Upon closer examination he - found that the white object was not a toe, but a perfect pearl, and that it was lodged between two toes. He sold the pearl for $S00. Johnson had been feeding his hogs with mussel meat secured from mussel seekers, who were collecting the bi-valves in the Rock river to sell the shells to button manufacturers. Popularity of fresh-water pearls has grown steauuy in receui - Wisconsin claims tne nouui m lng the first state to develop a sub BtanUal market for these gems, many ot which have a rich lustre and are of delicate shades of pink and white. While Oriental pearls are the finest, the Wisconsin and Illinois fresh-water pearls are in big demand. Pearl fishing is the most lucra tive of trades in the Orient. In Wisconsin, and Illinois It also has made many a pearl fisher rich for not only are valuable pearls found frequently, but the shells find a ready market In the Missis slppi river button factories.
