He has been n village physician, and
a schoolmaster. During his political
career he made a specialty of publk
education, and in the shortlived rad
ical ministry of M. I.eou Bourgeois
in ISiij lie was minister of that de
partmcnt. M. Combes is a personal
friend of President I.oubet, and also
of M. Wahleck-lioiisseau, who firs
suggested his name ns the man most

followed on all essential points the
advice of M. Waldeck-Kousseau. M.
Comber) is not a brilliant orator, but
has a logical, businesslike way of
stating a case that carries with it
sympathy and conviction. He is by
no means an ambitious man, and in
the lobbies of the chamber it is
whispered that M. Houvier, to whom
he entrusted the portfolio of finance,
will soon supplant him as prime min
ister. M. Combes is an out-and-out
radical nnd anti-clerical, and pro
poses to deal immediately with the
questions of state monopoly of edu
cation and the repeal of the Falloux
law so favorable to the religious or
ders. M. Combes, physically, is the small
est member of the cabinet. He lives
modestly, near the senate house. He
is president of the democratic group
in the senate. The positions he has
held chairman of the committee of
the law of associations anil reporter
of the bill on secondary education
marked him out for the premiership.

VOLCANO DIAMONDS.
Gem of Fine ( until- Arc Sometimes

Lata Irrupted.
I.ate I.ondi.u mail advices convey the
informatiou ti.at De Beers are about i
to enil au expedition to the scene of
the reiful vulcanic disturbances in the
West Indies to look for diamonds, re
port the .New York Times.
It is recalled that a few years ago,
mine large octahedron crystals were
found in Barbados which were later
identified as white spinels, which are
frequently iint ariheil where diamonds
are, although by t!ii insi'le. nnd even
when coiorrd. are often erv valuable, i
The French crown jews contain a
f pincl ruby of ."iti:;i cara t s, am! another
which w as valued at .Ml.t" tl francs in
17'JI, imc of 4 :.'. i. ! : r of 3
carats, being each . a; ... .i francs.
Small spinels fetch from six franca
to l.'l francs per carat; specimen
stones fetch even more. A store that
a New (iniiiea gold prospector recently
exchanged for a bottle of saccharine
pellets uas M id in Sydney. N. S. W,
for :?::ou,
A peculiarity of the spinel i that,
no matter what be the color of the
stone, the light which is re'leeted
from the depth of the gem is always
a paleyt ilow . A blue spine! has In ell
consigned as n sapphire, ami was re
turned to the consignor, who had it
cut and received more for it than it
would have made had it really be;'ti a
sapphire. A spine! collected by Dr.
Heron it said to weigh pounds.
When spir.el crystals are very tine they
are considered gems, and I'e Beers
think, having been found in large
quantities in St. l.iieia. il is not un
likely that 1hey will be found in Mar
tinique arid Kt. "Vincent.
HOMES AMONG THE TREES.
The rrvTOlThta; Telre fop Them I'm
ahlea Heal Kotnle Deulem to
Ilaild Ijl 'lne Trai n.
There is in m-arly every family a
longing for a home w ith shade around
it. So amount of .city distract ion can
completely km it. It may slumber,
but it never dies. It is bred in the bone
and born in the blood. In many cases
it seeks its desire of its own volition.
In most instances it has to lie stirred
to action. And here is where the com
panies that develop large tracts of
land in or near cities do good work,
says the New York World. The fact
that responsible meif can take many
acres within a short ride of the busi
ness section, build fine streets and
pavements, put in water mains and
gas nnd electricity, spend large sums
in advertising; and then sell lots that
will suffice for separate houses, with
a few shade trees around them, at
comparatively small sums on easy
terms, shows that after all land near
a city is not so expensive when haudled
on a large scale.
In or around all cities settlements
built up in thi way have become val
uable and beautiful. Thousands have
obtained their homes among the trees.
A general good that follows t hese en
terprises is the rcirniarity of the
streets. The average city in i;v
growth followed old roads and thus
its streets became twisted.
THE SUBMARINE TORPEDO.

Aeluitl Force.
The results of a recent experiment
in a caisson, representing a netion
of the French coast defense ship Henri
IV., have been made public through the
indiscretion of a French oflicer, says
the New York Post. The caisson wn
anchored, 'and a torpedo charge wa
attached to its side, about ten feet be
low the surface of the water, the depth
at w hich a torpedo is expected to strike
a vessel. The discharge was made by
means of an electric current worked
from a barge at some distance away
The consequences exceeded all expee
tntions. as a hole of square yards
was made in the side of the caisson
which immediately sank. Internally
the damage extended to three longi
tudinal partitions, which were in the
position of coal bunkers in warships.
The hole in the first part it ion covered
nearly 11 square yards; the second par
tition was shattered, and the third,
which has no corresponding partition
in the Henry IV.. had two oval holes in
it, one ftx2'ifcet and the other 2xl
feet. The torpedo charge was the or
dinary one of from lTii pounds to 220
pounds. It is evidence that the best
defense against a torpedo isdistnnee.
Out of its reach a vessel is safe. Contact-
with it means annihilation.
