DIAMOND BITS ARE COSTLY
Fair Value for the Eight Needed In
Drilling in Rock la About
$800.
A diamond bit for rock drilling is
quite an expensive article. Its value,
however, will undergo fluctuations,
dependent upon the price of the dia
monds. Perhaps $S00 is a fair value
for a bit. The diamond used is ex
ceedingly hard harder than those
usually used as jewelry. Their carat
price is considerable, averaging, say,
at $60 a carat The diamonds used
will weigh from one to two carats, so
that eight have a value ranging from
$430 to $960, on the average. The
loss of a bit means so many dia
monds gone and may lead to diffi
culty with the hole. The diamond is
not tough, but brittle. It will with
stand heavy pressure if applied even
ly and without shock. It can read
ily be seen that drilling through
seamy rock may become quite unfa
vorable. If there is much quarts
present the abrasion may become ex
cessive. Under ordinary conditions,
however, the wear on the diamonds,
while considerable, is by no means
prohibitive. Cassier's Magazine.

BIG PROBLEM OF COLLEGE
Many Parents Doubtful of Wisdom of
Sending Their Boys and
Girls There.
Shall we send our boys and girls
to college? That is still an open
question in the minds of many par
ents who are not convinced of what
they have seen of graduates and un
dergraduates that the years spent in
separations and supposedly in study
pay. The answer to this question,
we think, may often be found in the
wish and ambition of the boy or
girl. To cross the settled desire of
a thoughtful boy must always be a
doubtful matter. The real question
is whether the unthoughtful and the
unambitious should be sent Many
of these may be waked up to ambi
tion in college, but their chances of
success in life will be much greater
if they enter with a stro-initial
purpose and desire. It might be well
if fathers and mothers were this
summer to question their sons and
daughters who are nearing the col
lege entrance age to ascertain wheth
er they have given any real thought
to what the college opportunity
stands for to themselves in particu
lar. If the nebula of childish think
ing that goes with so many of the
examinations could be reduced to
definite points of light before en
trance it would greatly simplify the
task of the colleges and increase the
chances of success in life for every
student' There was a wise father,
himself a successful educator of boys,
who insisted that his sons should
have at least a year's experience in
business before they went to college.
Their success in various walks of
life has amply vindicated the wis
dom of his plan. The Congrega

CHEESE AS FOOD.
Cheese contains all the essentials
of human food, according to a
pamphlet recently issued by the de
partment of agriculture. The popu
lar belief that cheese, even when
green or un ripened, is difficult of di
gestion is not justified. The milk
ol ids in cheese are very digestible
ana make an almost perfect food.
With the addition of rennet and the
development of lactic acid in cheese-
making, some chemical changes take
place ; but these do not transform di
gestible solids in milk into indigest
ible solids in cheese. The digestive
distubances attributed to peculiari
ties in the cheese itself are. probably
due merely to over-eating, or to the
custom of eating cheese only at the
close of the meal, when one has al
ready had more than enough food.
TWO MILLION YEARS OLD.
An important discovery recently
made in Spain appears to place be-
vond doubt the existence of primi
tive man in the Pliocene period
sav between one million and two mil
lion rears ago. Simple and rough
ly fashioned tools were found asso
ciated with rocks and fossils which
undoubtedly belong to this period.
Modern discoveries have greatly ex
tended knowledge of man's antiqui
ty, and have shown that the human
race was in existence long before the
Ice period which succeeded the Plio
cene era. ,

MUSIC HALL ARTISTS' PA!
Sixty Years Ago They Got Four or Six
Shillings and an Allowance
of Gin.
Music hall artists' salaries have
increased during the last 60 years.
In 1842 a writer in Blackwood's on
London entertainments stated that
the chief music halls of the metropo
lis "the the Catherine Wheel in
Windmill street, the Mogul in Dru
ry lane and the Eagle in the City
road. These contain spacious apart
ments fitted up for hundreds of both
sexes, having at the upper end a
platform on which is a grand piano.
The singers usually include a prima
donna or sentimental leader, a basso,
a primo buffo and one or two other
nondescripts. The music is of a pop
ular class songs of our English
school, though airs from Auber and
Bellini adapted to English words are
well received. Six shillings is the!
usual nightly remuneration of in
strumental, and four shillings of vo
cal performers, with a reasonable al
lowance of gin and water. The price
of admission varies from two pence
to one shilling, according to place."

ROMANCE FLIES AWAY.
Mr. .Charles Alden Seltzer, ques

Of course, a transition was inevit

with its advance the old conditions.

and laws and sheep have stopped
cattle stealing and the cowpuncher is
dethroned. - But he was once king,
with the unf enced range for his king

JOB SEEKERS AS A GAUGE.
A man once ran for office, and
after a very dose election the re
turns showed that he had been elect
ed, by a few votes. A friend with
whom he had been discussing the
matter asked:
"What makes yon think that all
the votes weren't counted?"
"You see," replied the successful
candidate, "I'm judging from the
number of fellows " who've come
around - asking for a job on the
ground that they voted for me."
A CONSIDERATION.
"Thirty-eight cents a dozen for
eggs !" expostulated the lady. "Why,

ORGY FOR THE CANNIBALS
New Guinea Natives Once Caught 32S
Chinese and Ate All but
One of Them.
Probably the biggest cannibal
orgy on record is one of which Miss
Beatrice Grimshaw tells in her book,
"The Xew Guinea." "In 1858 a
shipload of Chinese was being taken
down to Australia. The vessel was
wrecked upon a reef close to Bossel
island (Xew Guinea). The officers
escaped in boats, but were never
after heard of. As for the Chinese,
numbering 326, the natives cap
tured them and put them on a small
barren island where they had no
food and no means of getting away.
They kept their prisoners supplied
with food from the mainland and ev
ery now and then carried away a few
of them to eat, until all but one old
man had been devoured. This one
succeeded eventually in getting
away, and told something of the
story, which seems to have met with
general disbelief. True it is, how
ever, on the evidence of the sons of
those who did the deed."
JEWELRY AND ART THEFTS

imonth or two later 50,000 of state

FEAT OF CLIMBING.
A wonderful feat of rock climbing
in the Grindenwald, Switzerland,
was accomplished recently by Mr.
Percy H. Thorp. He succeeded in
climbing up the face of the Eager
to the Eigerwand station of the
Jnngfrau '.railway (a tunnel rail
way) and clambered in through the
aperture by which travelers admire
the view. This aperture is situated
at a great height above the valley,
and the rock wall reaching up to it
is almost as steep and smooth as the
side of a house. The feat has never
been accomplished before.
A CONSCIENTIOUS SENTRY.
An officer at a state camp decided

DRESSING A LONG PROCESS
Modern Man Must Do Many Things
Before He Is Ready for
Breakfast.
"Life is too short to sleep," saya
Mr. Edison. Most of us, however,
seem to need sleep. The inventor is
more practical when he adds, "It
takes me one minute to undress at
night, 40 seconds to fall asleep and
two minutes to dress in the morn
ing." It takes other people longer
to dress and undress, and maybe that
is why there is but one Edison.
Nowadays it does not suffice to doff
night and don day raiment Dress
ing in the morning is a rite an hour
or more long. One must- swing
dumbbells, and have a shower, and
brush his teeth, and gargle - his
throat and spray his nose, and rub
his gums with magnesia, and shave,
and apply witch hazel, and knead
his scalp, and use an eye cup, al
eat quinine for a cold coming or
going, and uncork liniment for soma
local ailment
Most of these processes are under
taken to promote health, preserve
youth and postpone old age. They
are like lifting one's self over a
fence by the boot straps. They H

activities and bring the subject t

classics while shaving and equip
