PUT PROFITS INTO DIAMONDS j Many Reasons Why Increased Demand for Precious Stones Invariably Follows Devastating War. Tlie waste of war, by which manj suffer and few reap returns, is always accompanied by a demand for precious stones. This war has differed only from other wars in that the demand | was greater. Profiteers in the allied f countries have bought for the purpose of display. Profiteers in enemy coun tries waut diamonds, because they sup ply the safest way of concealing new ly acquired wealth. As the diamond Industry is the closest corporation in the world, values are not likely to de predate, unless all the profiteers want to change their investments at the same time. At tlie present moment the price Is higher than it has ever been. The diamond dealer is of all trad ers the least hampered by office re strictions. He frequently carries the bulb of bit stock in trade about with him In his waistcoat pocket. The pub lic street is, as often as not, ids only market place. In Union gardens, which Is the chief center of the dia mond industry in Loudon, may fre quently be seen little groups of two. three, or more well-dressed men, peel ing intently through little, monocle lenses at gems worth many thousands ; of dollars.

The day I saw him exercise he bCKgn by pulling weights. This developed •'especially the muscles of his shoulders girdle, the upper part of his back and bjs arms. Tie worked for speed quite as *much as for strength. He next spent several minutes in punching a heavy punching hag. It was said that this bag was shaped somewhat like the human body and weighed 75 pounds. This was followed by an exhibition of skill in punching an ordinary light punching bag. With a novice this exercise trains the eye, the sense of location, speed and direction especially. With an experienced bag puncher fancy punching does not call for much nor train much. Then followed two very swift rounds of boxing with a husky opponent. Under ordinary circumstances this becomes six rounds, two with each of three opponents. Tins is followed by a bath and rubbing down. There were rumors of all kinds of ex ercises taken in secret. How much of this rumor is truth I do not know. It is certain that Dempsey takes long walks daily. A part of the distance covered is done at a run. ^i\oad work takes off weight and in creases wind and endurance. It likewise develops the muscles of the legs. It is said that he spends some time in wrest ling. Wrestling calls for much better muscle development as well as much better wind and more endurance than does prize fighting. Pugilists are all the better for having small Tegs—considering the method classifying by weight. Wrestlers must be strong in the legs. ( Wrestling especially develops the mus cles of the neck and trunk. 1 have never ■ seen a prize fighter who impressed me as being so good a physical specimen as is any one of several wrestlers. Dempsey is reputed to spend some time 1 each day on the beach in bathing trunks. At any rate, the skin of his body Is burned to reddish brown about as deep as that df an Indian. Skin of this color holds back the heat rays of the sun. I presume he does nothing to keep his back straight. At any rate, he has con siderable curve in the region of his ribs. Much of this is due to the crouching position in which he spends so much of , his time, since it is his position in boxing ortrl ffo’litinc' Certainly, He Knew. From the Buffalo Commercial.

Numerous are the trafte secrets handed down generation by generation from father to son, and vast is the capital made out of some of them in the commercial world of today. Many, alas, are the price less trade secrets buried far down below the moldtring dust of the misty past and lost to the world, perchance never acpin to be recovered. Whal would a Royal Aoademician of the present day give tu be possessed of the secret held by the old masters for mixing their colors so es to render them imperishable and impervious to the ravages of time? The red colors especially of these artists of a bygone epoch are every whit as bright now as they were three long centuries ago. On the contrary, the colors of pictures painted only 100 years ago have lost their luster, and are faded and decayed to a deplorable extent. Again, in the world of music, the 'manufacturers of violins treasured a recipe for varnish that sank into the wood of their incomparable in strument, and mellowed it as well as pre served It. With such extreme, relentless jealousy, however, did they guard their great secret that it. too, is lost, to all ap pearances, irretrievably. Rather more thaiMK) years ago there lived in a quaint old world village in Wales a working blacksmith, who had managed, by some means or other, to bring the welding of f the present day. How they made it is l profound secret and bids fair to remain so. The mortar is as firm now as it was 1,000 years ago; it has calmly scoffed at :he ravages of tiifce and weather.

He Think* He Did Pretty Well but There Were Even Larger Crc is In the Neighborhood—Live Stock Men Prosper. As a by-product the yield of potatoes on the farm of Ben Pawson of Coal dale, Alberta, was somewhat of a pny iug proposition. Coaldale Is In the Medicine Hat district of Alberta. Med icine Hat is n place, pictured In the mind of many Americans, where the weather man holds high carnival, and when he wants to put a little life or spirit Into the people just moves the mercury down a few notches. The rascal has thus given Medicine Hat a rather unenviable place on the map. But It isn’t half as bad as It is pic tured. Anyway. Ben Pawson likes It. Last year he grew six hundrtd bush .a e M aA.a a ___ m i » w* vu v ui.tva v* iihim that had no special preparation, and only the usual precipitation, or rain, as the less cultured would call It. When he couldn’t work at his hay or grain, because of the damp mornings, he gave them some attention. And then evenings between supper and chores and bedtime he gave them some work. Anyway his yield was six hun dred bushels, and he sold the whole lot for $285. Ben la satisfied. Still 1 there were larger yields than this In the neighborhood. If one might speak of hogs In the same breath In which you speak of po tatoes, there Is nothing In the ethics of literature that would create a de barment. Taking advantage of this license It will not be out of place to state that large potato yields ore not the only feature of Interest In tills new and Interesting country. Amongst others hogs are having a good deal of attention. Not long ago, hogs reached the $24.00 mark on the Calgary market.
