Latest Addition to World' Great Gems Worth $5,000,000. What Is said to be the biggest dia mond In the world Is reposing In a bank on Holborn Viaduct In London, quite close to the home ot the dia mond merchants In Hatton Garden. The very name of the bank is kept a profound secret And so careful a matter Is the showing of the stone to the representatives of Oriental prin ces, to commercial syndicates and In ternational associations ot diamond dealers that a number of crystal fac Blmllles have been made and pros pective buyers have to be satisfied with these replicas. If, however, It is seen that they mean business the insurance com pany is notified and, according to the American Magazine, a heavy premi um paid by the owners for the re moval ot the stone from the strong room of the bank. This gem is twice as big as the biggest egg the biggest hen ever laid, weighs a pound and a third, and is invaluable. Nobody knows what it Is worth, but $5,000,000 Is a reasonable price. So prosaic is the civilized com merce of today that this vast treas ure was merely sealed up in a tin box registered as a postal packet and sent through the mail as though it were a geological specimen. It was received from South Africa at the London office of the Premier Diamond Mining Company, Limited, and mensures wore taken at once to insure it for about half its value say $2,500,000. Many Races In Wisconsin, Wisconsin epitomizes Uio Central West. No other Western State has such a diversity ot racial elements. Illinois alone, with Us queer colony of Portuguese Protestants at Jack sonville, has an element which Wis consin has not. None but Wisconsin has Bulgarians and Flemings. It has an Indian population of over 8,- 000. It is the greatest Welsh, Cor nish, Norwegian and German State. It hns Icelanders with Minnesota. Bo hemians with Iowa and French, Finns and Hollanders with Michigan. The oldest and only purely Hungarian colonv In America is on its soil and the largest Swiss colony. It has a native white element as old as the Knickerbockers and even English descended families who go hack 150 years on Wisconsin soil. Century. Editor's Gross Blunder. In a review of its 31 years, Mr. La- bouchere's IiOndon Truth, which wears for motto, "CuKorea verltatls fraudls inlmicl," sums up Its legal ex perience in exposing fraud. Of all the actions brought against the pa per in that time, only four have re sulted In damages. Of these one turned unon the precise position ot a village pump, "as to which," Mr. La bouchere dryly observes, "I was mis led into believing the evidence or two beneficed clergymen a lesson which I have always remembered to my profit." Because of putting it on the wrong side of the street he had to pay $500 damages and much more in costs. Springfield Republican. Clothespins from Maine.

THE WHOLE FAMILY Mother Finds a Food For Grown-Upa and Children aa Well. Food that can be eaten with relish and benefit by the children ai well as the older members of the family, makes a pleasant household commod ity. Such a food is Orape-Xuta. It not only agrees with and builds up chil dren, but older persons who, from bad habits of eating, hava become dyspeptics. A Phlla. lady, after being benefited herself, persuaded her husband to try Grape-Nuts for stomach trouble. She writes: ( "About eight years ago I bad a se vere attack ot congestion ot stomach and bowels. From that time on I had to be very careful about eating, as nearly every kind of food then known to me seemed to cause pain. "Four years ago I commenced to nse Grape-Nats. I grew stronger and better, and from that time I seldom have been without it; have gained la health aad strength and am now heavier than I ever was. "My husband was also in a bad condition his stomach became so weak that he could eat hardly any thing with comfort I got him to try Grapo-NuU and he soon found his stomach trouble had disappeared. "My girl and boy, and t years old, do not want anything else for breakfast hut Grape-Nuts and mora healthy children cannot be found." Kama given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

Artificial silk is made from wood pulp in Sweden. The imitation is ex cellent but it is found that many dresses made from it have been dis carded because the creases made when the wearers sit-down do not come out. It is scarcely possible to distinguish the real from the artificial silk, but this defect has proved fatal for use as drees pieces. Both burial and cremation would be abolished by Karl Schott, a Cologne en gineer. He would place the corpse in a simple coffin which might be made of concrete reinforced with stwel and would then fill this with a quick-setting liquid cement. The silicic acid and lime of the cement would bring about immediate petrifaction, insuring pres ervation superior even to that ot an cient Egyptian embalming. It is sug gested that utilitarians may go still further, and build the cement blocks into vast monuments that shall be the the future cities of the dead. The "muscle artist" to whom Profes sor von Bergmann, the famous Berlin surgeon, has drawn attention, has such mastery of the muscles that he can move them about as he wishes. He draws up his abdominal organs, leav ing a cavity, then he presses them down until his abdomen grows globu lar; then he divides them into right and left sections, with a hollow be tween. He makes the muscles of any part of his body tremble and shake like jelly. He stops his pulse beating, and 'moves his heart at will. Just how tthese singular results are attained is a mystery.

There are also a few samples of silk ribbons sold in the Orient These samples are collected for the benefit of American manufacturers and the bureau is anxious to place them in their hands. They will be sent upon application to manufacturers, cham bers of commerce and other commer cial organizations located in cotton manufacturing centres. The bureau Is also in possession of samples of clogs manufactured and worn in the north of England. . The clogs are in various sizes. It has also a number of heel irons, sole blocks, soles and nails pf different Bines and varieties used in the manufacture of clogs. From Edlnburg, Scotland, there are a large number of samples of wall paper. From China there are . toilet soaps and gloves made in Austria, France, Germany and Holland. A cal abash pipe made in Capetown, South Africa, and a calabash are among other samples at hand. It is believed the calabash tree may be profitably grown in the United States. Spider That Changes Color of Eyes M. W. Stickland of Singapore recent ly had a strange experience while sitting in a garden at Bultenzorg, Java. Watching a captive spider remarkable for the possession of a pair of eyes which glow like gig lamps amid a cluster of smaller eyes, he was amazed to note that the "gig lamps" slowly changed in color from brown to grass green and back again to brown. Further, as if to increase his atonish. ment, the creature proceeded to change the color ot Its eyes alternate ly, thereby exercising a most uncanny fascination over the mere man. There was something so diabolically deliber ate in these changes as to make it seem that the actor took a genuine pride in the performance. The offer of a substantial reward for other specimens of the same species proved unavailing, but It was instrumental In bringing to light a second species, of a grass groen color slashed with yellow, which proved In every way as expert in the gentle art of ogling as its more sombrely color ed relative. So far as is known this change In the color of the eyes occurs only in certain species of ducks, and then only under the Influence of fear, while in the spider it would appear almost to be voluntary.

The Ixmdon Express is unhappy be cause of its discovery that the annual Increase in the total wealth of the United States is something like ten times the increase In wealth of Great Britain. From a British point of view this may be lamentable, but from no point of view can it be regarded as sur prising. We have about twice the population of that country, and there is a notice able difference In the matter of area. Our natural resources in every depart ment of productive industry far ex ceed those of Great Britain. Her land values, while not absolutely fixed, may be held to have reached the limit of normal expansion, while in our case a variety of influences, such as railway development, trolley line extension, Ir rigation, and an ever increasing de mand for the products of the soil, bring Idle land under profitable cultivation, and so give it value, and give a greater value to lands already occupied. The American worklngman, with his higher wages, can afford better housing than the English worklngman, and another Important factor in . dwelling house values appears In our vast population ot the well' to do. England Is an adult nation. She may be said to have reached the maxi mum of her stature and can now do nothing except put on Buch fat as is possible. The United States is only a youngster, susceptible not only to in crease in girth but as well of the addi tion of an indefinite number ot cubits to Its stature. Any good Englishman who Is dis satisfied with the rate of progress ot his own land and envious of the pace of this big land of ours can easily do worse than to come over and get into our game. New York Sun. Audible a Mile. A phonograph, which can be heard a mile away, Is the new French inven tion, the elgephone. The sound Is produced by the use of what are call ed speaking flames, arid the principles governing the method were first ex plained in 1903 by G. C. Porter be fore the London Physical Society. Mr. Porter found that if a tuning folk be struck and then held In the flame of a Bunsen burner, the sound is perceptibly, increased. The maxi mum of sound Intensity occurs when the forks Is held where the flame is hottest. The ' French inventor, G. Landet, uses a record which has the sound vibrations marked not in depth, but In length, and the stylus travels hori zontally, like a pendulum. The stylus separates the gas chamber into two parts and the gas then passes on to the burners. The vibrations of the disk open and close the gas openings, causing the flow to vary. The sound Is so Intense that it can be heard a. mile away. It can be les sened by regulating the burner, but the power of sound is found to be al ways proportional to the energy given out during combustion. Musical Age. - Mme. de Brazza's Devotion. Mme. de Brazza, tbe wife of the 11 lustrlous explorer, has decided to con vey the remains of her husband to Algiers. One is a little surprised when one remembers the national tri bute which France paid to this man, who played to Important a part in the history of cur colonial expansion, nnd who gave an African world to the country that he had made his own. But surprise ceases when one knows that this brave woman was the com panlon and collaborator ot tbe pacific conqueror ot the Congo. Le Petit Par isian.
