THEORIES AS TO DIAMONDS Many Causes Put Forward for the Breaking of th . Hardeat Stone Known to Exist. Much attention has been given to the question of the origin of the numerous broken fragments of dia monds found in the Kimberly mines. One hypothesis is that these frag ments owe their condition *o violent eruptive outbursts that shattered the rocks In which they occur. Another common belief is that certain classes of diamonds frequently break spon taneously. One authority states that light brown, smoky diamonds often crack on exposure to the dry air, but the)' will remain intact if kept In a moist pluce. In accordance with this notion there Is a popular story of South African diamonds being scut to England inside potatoes. Another authority seem» to at tribute the fractures to the sudden lowering of pressure in the space sur rounding diamonds and speaks of consequent explosion. He states that he has met persons who have heard of the bursting of smoky diamonds, but none who ever witnessed tills phe nomenon with his own eyes. This Idea of the bursting of dia monds Is of great antiquity. Albertus Magnus says that a diamond Immersed In the fresh, warm blood of a goat will hurst, especially If that iinlnml had previously browsed on parsley or drunk wine. Pliny vouchsafes a similar notion. The majority of modern authorities be lieve that. In most cases, the breaking of diamomla lias been due to the energy exerted by the mineral inclusions which they so often contain. These are most frequently garnet, but som e times zircon, llmenlte. Iron pyrites and possibly chrysolite. The thermal ex pansion of nearly all crystals, except those of the beryl family, at ordinary temperatures 1» much greater than that of the diamond, ft the same is As early as 1522—seven years be fore the Panama canal project was first talked about—«11 Gonzales Dlvala explored Nicaragua in an effort to find a natural waterway or to select a route for a possible canal. In 1680 Antonie Galvao, a Portuguese navigator, pro posed four routes for a canal across the Isthmus—one by Lake Nicaragua and the Sun Juan river. The latter route was surveyed for the Spanish government In 1781, by Don Manuel Galisteo. About fifty years later John Bailey, an American, mapped out the route, and In 1872 the American gov ernment became Interested. President Grant particularly favored a Nicara guan canal. A company was formed and a construction expedition actually arrived on the scene, but the firm went into the hands of receivers. The French started the Pnnama canal scheme, but because of rotten , politics at home and yellow fever on the Isthmus, It ended In dismal failure j for them. The United States bought out the French Interests and dug the 1 Pnnama canal, but only after it had waged a strenuous battle agnlnst dis ease in Panama and reclaimed that country to heulth and sanitation. Suggestion for Painters. Painters have painted the first long pants, the first step, the first love, the first snow, the first violets and the first dance. But no one has ever painted the first shave. Tlic first shave Is a dramatic and profound adventure. Sometimes It Is for the sake of a girl and sometimes It is undertaken out of a growing admiration for the sandpaper on father’s cheek. It is also secret. With father's brush and soap the fare Is lathered behind closed doors nnd with father’s razor the countenance Is harrowed, raked and scraped. Disappointment ts great that there Is no loud, rasp ing sound as the down Is harvested. One young man. now known to his few friends as a modest, manly and simple-spoken citizen, went so far as to shave Ids forehead on this occa. sion lung ngn.

A new method of control of “scrow- wortns," “wlrewonns" and sod web worms which attack tobacco and sim ilar crops has been discovered by the tobacco Insect laboratory of ttie Unit ed States Department of Agriculture.
