An ordinary bouse, however, offered fioin sixteen to twenty times as much resistance to the transmission of electricity as an ordinary tree, and, therefore, the tree might be considered a protection to the house, if it equaled or exceeded the house in height. On the other band, when the house is wet by rain, its electrical conductivity is so much augmented that the author thought the protective value of the tree might then depend 3olely upon its excess in elevation over the housetop. Although trees may thus shelter houses to some extent, it is very dangerous for indi viduals to take refuge under a tree in a thunder shower, as has been repeat edly demonstrated by many of the numerous lightning accidents last summer.

We rind these stories in Mr. ritreeter 8 valuable work on "1'iecious Ptones," in which every branch of his fas cinating subject is made inteiesting. Thj discovery of diamonds in U ihia was in this wise : A cunning slave from Minus Ge raes, keeping his master's Docks in lialiia, observed a similarity between the soil of bis native place and that of Uahia. lie sought theiefore in the sand, and soon found 700 carats of diamonds. Fleeing from his master, he carried these with him, and offered lbem for salo in a distant city. uch wealth in the hands of a slave caused him to be arrested, but he would not be tray himself. The master, to whom he was given up, tried to get at his secret by cun ning but without avail, until he thought of testoring him to his former occupation in Uahia, and watching him." A year af tei waid 23,000 people weie digging dia monds there (eighty miles long by forty broad,) and at the rate of 1,4-jO caiatf a day. Dreadful misery ensued on the dis covery of the ''Diamond liiver." The gov ernment wanted to secure the monopoly of the new found wealth to the crown, and ro the dwellers on the river's banks were diiv- en from their homes to distant wilds and J despoiled of all they possessed . "Nature ! seemed to take part agaiust them ; a dread ful drought, succeeded by a violent earth quake, increased their distress, Mauy of them perished, but those who lived to return, on May 18, lSOo, were benevolent ly icinstated in their rightful possessions. Strange to say, on their return the earth seemed strewn with diamonds. After a shower the children used to find gold in the streets and in the brooks w.iich tia versed them. Often tho little ones would bring in three or four carats of diamonds. A negro found a diamond at tho rtxjt of a s garden, and the poultry in r - - i const iiutly. " vEsop thus improved upor, in fulluess of time we find Siubad parodied. In 18G8 the child of a Dutch farmer named Jacopus settled at the Cape, a mused him self by collecting pretty pebbles on the banks of the neighboring l iver, and picked up a specimen which atti acted his mother's attention, so that she showed it to one Scbluck Van Viekerk, who was curious in such matters. He was puzzled about its nature, and offered to buy it, but Mrs. Ja cobus laughed at his offer and gave him the pebble, which afterwaid passed carelessly through two intervening pairs of hands be fore it reached, in a gummed envelope and unregistered, Dr. Atueisioue of Uraiiam's Town, an excellent mineralogist. This gentleman, having examined its physical character nnd tested its degree of hardness and density, and its behavior when sub jected to optical tests by means of polarized light, pronounced it to be a diamond. This is the stone which was examined by savants of all nations during the Paris exhibition iu 18G7, and purchased at the close of it by Sit Philip Wodehouse for $500. In 1870, Mr. Streeter's diamond expedition paity were exploring the Trans vaal far and wide, and ascertaining facts which complete our knowledge of the new wonder of the world. Amid dry geologi cal details charming touches of anecdote and adventure crop up, '.ike the gems them selves, from the gravel and the quartz ; the great solitary jewels, like the "Stewart" and "Dudley," emerge and take their pla i ces in history with the Sancy, the Pitt, the j Great Mogul, the Hope Brilliant, and many another blight bauble, blood and tear stained.
