They have been smuggled away'in gashes made in the fleshy parts of arms and legs and in the festering twres o/■ underlings. The swallowing of dia monds, a time-honored practice, is an extremely dangerous experiment, although it has been *lone with suc cess in small doses, as gems in India are not so sharply cut as in Europe; yet the effect on the human mechan ism of anything hard enongh to cut or scratch the hardest >ubstance can well be imagined, Eleanor Maddock writes in Asia Magazine. Often times when they were thrust by the handful down the throat of some coolie slave, whose life was worth no more to his master than a temporary receptacle for looted gems, it meant certain death Jo the unhappy victim of greed and theft. This was a pop ular method among raiders of mer chant caravans, as usually within the period of the first 24 hours the ter rible convulsions that followed could not be readily distinguished from the fijst symptoms of the raj bemar (cholera). Even domestic fowl* have borne their share of the bur dens of riches, for according to the pearl fishers of Ceylon, nothing so' enhances the luster and sheen of a valuable pearl as lying for a few weeks within the crop of a fowl. TAKE BIRDS ON FISH LINES Anglers Have Sport With Winged Creaturea as Well as Thoss of the Finny Tribe. An angler was recently surprised when he visited hid litjje, which had keen left overnight, to find that he had caught a water bird instead of a fish. Fishing for bird» is the prac tice in some countries. In Cyprus as well as Canada, the inhabitants fish for the bee-eater. -A fine silk line is used, at the end of which is a fish-hook, and to the fish-hook is attached a wild bee. The bee in its efforts to escape soars in the air, when the bee-eater immediately swallows both the bait and the hook, and in its turn becomes the prey of the fisherman. Another method of catching birds by means of a line is adopted by shepherds on the Sussex Downs. The wheatear is found in these parts in Urge numbers. A hole is cut in the turf and at the ends of the hole horsehair nooses are arranged. The birds, when fright ened, drop to the ground and seek shelter in. the holes, when they are immediately caught by the tighten ing of the noose. PHILIPPINE COAL. A company has been organized in the Philippines to develop the Cehu coal mines as well as those in Minda nao, and it is believed that before long the coal output of these island* will be sufficient to supply the need* of the whole archipelago so far as good steam coal is concerned. At tention is being given also to the de velopment of the tobacco and sugar industries in the islands. Because of these activities a large part of the current purchases of the Philippines consists of machinery and plants for new industrial undertakings. OP ROYAL RACE. A masterful old family expert no less in ruling than in fighting, may lie complimented with the "Ameri-* can story," published in England, that the tactful, triumphant Mexi can leader, General Obregon, is one of the O'Briens. He has blue eyes, at any rate, and reddish brtfwn hair. To cap the felicitation, an editor points out that the last Spanish viceroy of this same Mexico, wai John O'Donohue, to-wit, Don Juan' O'Donoju, a descendant of he O'Donohuea of Munster. COTTON WEAVING IN CHINA. The first cotton manufacturing mill in China is scarcely more than twenty years ofd, yet the nation lias today 1,250,000 spindles aud 5,000 power looms, producing annually 250,000,000 pounds of yarn and 60,- 000,000 yards of cloth.

Ttey'iyjahg to J* , ; , == GLACIER IS MAKING RECORD That at Orindelwald, Switzerland, Bald to Be Moving at a Pace That la Phenomenal. A strange Alpine phenomenon * taking place at Qrindelwuld, that mountain center much beloved ,-by tourists of all nationalities, both in summer and winter, with its little town clustering under great range of irhite mountains. Many who have stood on the famous Grindel wald glacier have been unconscious tha£ they were moving, for the ac tion of the ioe as it pushes: .toward the valley is so slow as to "be imper ceptible—an ordinary \>ace for a glacier cfften being a few yards in 50 years. But the Orindelwald' gla cier has been moving at the "rate of four feet to six feet a day for over a wtek. It has already obliterated a pine forest and a stone bridge acr&is the' Black Latchjne, as the-ice nver maizes its way across the water to the upper banks. It is thought the rapid movement is due to the enor mo'us amount of snow and ice on the higher portions of the glacier press ing it downward; but visitors and those making observations are watching with interest, and realiz ing that what would have taken a thousand years to do gradually is be ing accomplished before their eyes at topspeed.—Christian Science Monitor. ALL HE BROUGHT She had invited the violinist to dinner. "Yotf didn't bring.your violin," "hf exclaimed when he arrived. "No. All I brought was my ap petite." _ THE AGE OF GAS. ♦ Our civilization, Secretary Lane recently remarked, is a product of "power plus steel. He went on to characterize the age in which we are living as the age of gas, on the ground that such an expression was justified by the extent to which gas fuel U employed in the fundamental processes of our basic industries. It is interesting to note, in view of this estimate, figures on our gas industry which have just been compiled. From these it appears thut 1,166. ar tificial gas companies in the United States are now supplying more than 300,000,000,000 cubic feet' of gas ot ,one sort or another to 8,500 v 000 cus tomers. —Scientific American. MANY BCULPTORB IDLE. According to American Art News, the sculptqrs complain that thare is little work at present in theilr line of endeavor, %nd even the leading men are "waiting/' The commem orative waT statues and patriotic groups that were to decorate cities, towns and cemeteries, have not thus far materialized. The unsettled con ditions of the country, they contend, which are holding up building, are acctiantable for *the drums." - , , COINCIDENCE JN DATES.

TYPICAL SCENERY OF FRANCE Description of Landseape, as Henrj James, Saw It, Has Been Held * ' to Be Perfect. ■' t _ •'vfeui-. It was a perfectly "rural scene, and the still summer day gave it a charm for which its tneager elsmeirts but half accounted; Longmore thought he had never seen anything so char acteristically French; all the French novels soemed io have described )t, all the French landscapes to have painted it The fields and trees were of a cool metallic green. .... The clear light had a sort of mild gray ncss; the sunbeams were of silver rather than gold. A great red roofed, high-stadked farmhouse, with whitewashed walls and a straggling yard, surveyed the highroad on one side, from behind a transparent cur tain of poplars. A narrow, stream, half choked with emerald rushes and edged with gray aspens, occupied the oposite quarter. The meadows rolled anfl sloped away gently to the low horizon, which was barely concealed by the continuous "line of clipped and marshaled trees. —From "Mtt dame De Mauvee," by Henry James. i - MINISTRY OF HUMOR. P. McMahon Glynn, former min ister for home and territories, will be much missed in the Australian house of representatives, which dear ly loves' its joke. Recently Mr. Glynn was giving evidence before the Northern Territory Royal com mission. Noticing that the former minister was standing, and not see ing that the court orderly had omit ted to place a chair in the witness box, Mr,' Justice Ewing said courte ously: "Take a chair, M* Glvnn." Looking at the empty witness box, the former minster replied : "I have not got one, your honor. I lost it at the last election!" WOOD SUBSTITUTE.

The- exterior may be covered with wood or metal. Tha material is adapted for a variety of uses, but is suggested especially for such pur* poses as furniture, fittings and doors. _ *. A BARGAIN Tt was evidently another case of the family trying to find a house to rent or buy that caused a small child in s picture show to pass the follow ing remark as one of ths homes of the "400" flashed on the screen: "Gee, daddy, if you could get that for S3OO you'd get a bargain, wouldn't you?" QUALIFIED. "Can yon get somebody well fit ted to fix up my advertising foi these, cabs ?" "Sure; I'll .get you a good hack writer." ' FOR A BIG REINDEER HERD.'

M.juny nr T ■ 1 .n ■ * I J ,„M"A -'aTH GAVE IT GOOD IftfSH NAME Hlbernicizlrtg of Fammii French River One of the Humoroua Incident* of the War. It was the lesser, not.ths greater, river* of France that linked them selves anew with, history during the great war. Father Duffy of the "Fighting Sixty-ninth*' liked to tease his friend, the young French man, Lieutenant Herat, by joking him on the small size of the River Ourcq, a vastly important stream that the regiment had recently prossed. "I told him," confesses the good, father,, "that one of our soldiers lay badly wounded near the river; and I offered him a pull at my canteen. Kaising himself on one elbow and throwing out his arm, he exclaimed, 'Give it to the Ourcq; it needs it more thail I!'" A little later perhaps he would not.have spoken so disrespectfully; for the orphaned French rive* was frankly TTdopted as a good" Irish stream —and Father Duffy loves everything that savors of the Em erald isle. To be sure, the' Hiber nicizing of the Ourcq was merely a happy, accident; but it was too good not to abide by. It was due to a soldier's easy scorn of the niceties of the French tongue. Speaking of a certain air battle—that in whiclf young Quentin Roosevelt lost his life—he was heard earnestly telling a copirade: "It was on the mornin' we crossed the ' O'Rourke river and captured Murphy's farm!" Meurcy farm upon the Ourcq ha 3 been that day's 9bject^ve—but noth ing can 6top Companion. - ' WOULD SET HIM FREE "Your husband is simply a,slave to money."
