BLAZ Jxo \yTIl diamonds JtEAVEIA s w ij HA HE THE VERY KSS^ PROPERTY. a Modern Dlseov.ry-- Ko Kcit. rA , the Diamond Prior to Christ—Agy to ,,ultan of Turkey Owns the in the World. San Francisco Call. Strange to way the diaiuond is a modern Improvement! There is no historical record of the diamond prior to Christ, and Tavernier asserts, probably with truth, that no large diamonds wore in the market before the sixteenth century. The first diamonds came from India, especially Ceylon; the second large sup ply from Brazil, which produced them so fast that the price fell to $4 a carat, and remained for a long time at about $8 a carat. It was probably about that time that the great royal collections of dia monds were made. The collection belonging to the Sultan of Turkey, which is probably the finest In the world, dates prior to tne discovery ot America, and undoubtedly came from Asia. One Turkish Pasha alone left the empire at bis death seven table-cloths embroidered with diamonds, and sixty bushels of fine pearls. In the last, war with Russia, In 1878. Turkey borrowed $30,€00,000 Irom the Ottoman Bank on the security of the crown jewels. Thecasuter of the bank was admitted to the treasure ouamber, and was told to help himself until bo had enough to secure his ad vances. “1 selected enough,” said he, “to secure the bank against loss in any event: but the removal or the gems I took made no gapiu the accumulation.” The Russians nave the largest diamond in the world, the Orlotf, which weighs 194% carats and forms the apex of the Russian sceptre. The French diamond, known as the Regent, which was stolen at the famous robbery of the crown jewels in 1792, and was afterward found In a ditch, is 136 carats, and was valued at $3,690,000 a hundred years ago. Who nn earth would give $2,500,000 for a stone? Estimating the value of money at 5 per oent., the owner of such a gem would spend $126,000 a year in loss of interest. The famous blue dia mond, the Bancy, which was stolen at the same time, has never been reoovered. Perhaps the robber hid it and died before he thought It sale to dig it up. Perhaps he was killed and his secret died with him. At any rate it is gone. Louis Na polean invested several millions in dia monds; it is partly on the proceeds of these jewels that his widow has besa sup porting herself ever since his death. The English Koh-i-noor is 102% carats, but it has been so badly cut that its value is a matter of uncer tainty. The English nobility bavealwavs been lovers of the diamond. When the Duke of Buckingham was sent to Paris to fetch the future Queen Uenri etta, be wore a suit of clothes valued at $250,000. It was made of satin and uncut velvet, set all over with diamonds, and the diamonds were purposely so loosely sewn that they flew off as the Duke w alked, and persons of base degree picked them up and carried them oft'. Prince Esterhazy is said to have exhibited sim ilar ostentation at a ball at Almack’s. The eem lover will find no such jewels as these in this country. Occasionally. In the East, one reads of a diamond neck lace ol a diamond parure selling (or $40,- 000. There wasa one time a purse-proud parvenu in the United States Senate who wore a SIO,OOO diamond in his shirt front. Gov. Stanlord spent SBO,OOO in diamonds at Tiffany’s some years ago, and some of the ladies of San Francisco, whose jewel cases the reporter is not privileged to de scr be, contain gems representing a sum which would constitute a fortune iu an ordinary family. There are diamond necklaces here lor sale at $2,500 to $3,500 which would be as effective in a ball room as a string of gems ol five times the size. There is one ring here which con tains a big diamond weighing 4% carats and two fair rubies; it is wortu $7,650, and is no doubt cheap at the price. But who would like to go through life with ■ the sobriquet of the Jlan with the Ring? It is curious to uote the fluctuations in the value of diamonds. About 300 years : ago they were quoted at $225 a carat. FPtv years later we find them selling at $lO5 a carat. A hundred and fllty years later the supply from Brazil had increas ed so large that one-carat stones sold for S4O, and shortly alter at $4. From this point they rallied to s3l per carat at the time of the French revolution; then, un der the pressure of the supply Irom ex iled French noblesse, they fell again to S2O. During the first sixty or seventy j years of this century they rose steadily, and twenty years ago they were quoted at about SIOO a carat. Now, Mr. Henry jf D. Morse, of Boston, gives the following prices of Diamonds at the present time: Stones averaging one-half carat each, |s6o. Stones averaging three-quarter oarat each, SBO per carat. Stones averaging one carat each, SIOO per carat. Stones averaging one and one-quarter carats each, sllO per carat. Stones averaging one and one-half carats each, $125 per oarat. Stones averaging one aud three-quarter Carats each, $145 per carat. Stones averaging two carats each, $175 per carat. in other words, the value of the gem in creases in the geometrical ratio ol its weight. Four diamonds weighing to gether two carats are worth $120; but one diamond weighing just as much is worth 1*350. Stones weighing over t.vo carats ai e about the same price per cci at as two learnt stones; they should be dearer, but they are not, simply because the demand for them is limited, it the demand for diamonds were as impera'ive as the de mand lor flour or beef, the geometrical ratio would again conoe into play, and five-carat stones would he valued in tfio thousands. It is not likely that the diamond of moderate size will ever he much lower in value than it is now. In the words ol a ■ popular writer, “The diamond is lbs very essence ol properly, it is riches con densed; too small to be seen by the mid night burglar; >oo easily hid to be seized by the tyrant ; too quicklv carried away be wrested from the exile or the out flaw. A diamond i# a portable empire.” It is no wonder the persecuted ex-mon- Krchs of Hindustan put their money iu f diamonds aga ns: British rapacity. ■ Our ban Francisco jewelers buy their diamonds in London and Paris. None of teem have yet established con motions with Brazil or Golconda or < ape Town. There is a lirm in New York whiob cuts diamonds, aud which performed a good job on that remarkable siono which was die ivered a lew years ago on the bank of the lames river, opposite Richmond, Va. Blit Amsigidatu holds an easy pre-emi nence in diamond cutting, and us work goes to London or Paris tor sale, where our dealers find It. Diamonds, like edi tor#, can only lie cut by themselves. Dia mond dust is the only material that will Impinge the surface of the raw diamond. The tendency of modern taste is toward simplicity in shape and artistic decora tion in desigu. The belle ol the modern ballroom is amazed to see the massive handcuffs which her mother wore iu the guise of bracelets, with little spikes hanging from them, on which the ardent lover impaled his linger# when ne tried to clasp Angelina’s hand. Tue modern bracelet is a plaiu, narrow bonn ol gold, with a rich stone set in it. When Bu chanan was President and the gentlemen of the South declared that they were going to die in the last ditch girls wore earrings which were pon derous masses ol gold, with a lew precious stones set In them In odd corners, and which distended the holes in their pretty ears, so that bad brothers could stick a lead pencii,Bi M>am. The modern earring is a simple jewel—peart or diamond. It has a setting to bold it in place, but the jeweler exhausts his art to conceal the setting, go that R shall not b detected, and that the gem, of purest ray serene, shall seem to bang on beauty’s ear by the attraction of affinity and rings! Does any one renumber the monstioua oabies which old Mrs. Croesus used to wear in the days ol our mothers, in which gold and rubies and diamonds and nearls were massed together so that when you shook bands with hor you fancied you had got bold of a curtain'ring which had been battered out ol shape? in the modern ring the gold modestly effaces itself, leaving the gem to shine in solitary radiance. And think ot the chains our grandmammas used to fasten to their watches—none of your footy little things that the Philistine couldn’t see as he passed, but solid, mas sive chains by which a dog could have been secured in his kennel or a small boat moor 'd to its landing place. Watch chains nowadays are modest, unobtrusive objects, wbied hold the watch in place, but which shrink from public view and timidly shun the admiration their ex quisite embroidery might sometimes com mand. ABOLISHING DISH WASHING. BY JOKL BENTOS. 1 CopyriuMt'l, ISS7.' Was a woman ever known who reailv liked to wash dishes? If there should be one found the dime museum will be glad to add her to its curiosities. Of all the work of the household this exercise usually is the cue most inveighed against, it is woman’s special “beta uoir.” It is not only monotonous and massy, but it will never stay done. It is disagreeable to the hands; it threatens the dress and must be done in a very poor one. or with careful defenses; and it comes never lees than three times aaay. it give# no chance for moving about and being social or for graceful postures and attitudes. It is dislikable in the extreme. Many a woman wonders who u isyphus. In the Greek mythological story, was ever set to rolling a stone up hill, which, a# soon it got to the top. rolled down again, so that the task had to be forever repeated. Why didu’t Pluto set him to washing dishes? But then they did not need to eat wnere the task of Sisyphus was conducted and so there were no dishes to wash. How many women there are who are longing to-day for some such “Plutonian shore ” Quaint old Herbert says: “Who sweeps a room as lor God’s laws, makes that and the action fine.” Knitting (now a lost art except in fancy ways) and scrubbing, cooking and mend ing, have all gout* Into poetry and pic turesque art; but nobody ha# sung of the dish washer or painted her. 'ln the plainest of Dutch aud Flemish interiors of wbioh we see so much in oil, etching and engraving you will find women paring apples or vegetables to cook, or wash ing the children’s iacesin preparation for school, but never washing dishes, so Tar as 1 now recollect. Most plain and com mon things lend themselves to art and song of some kind, but the task of which 1 am speaking has no poetry in it and no illusion. It might be curious to inquire why, but it only concerns us now to state the fact. One of the worst things about it is that you nannot send It out of the house to be done. You do otten send the washing, and you can patronize the baker and have your bread and cake brought to your door. In some towns you cau get rid of co king entirely by having whole meals sent in savory and smoking hot. Stoves may ne sent away for summer care, or the polisher mav come around as the cbimnev sweep does. Carpets may be taken out by men and receive the necessary flagellation, butdlsh washing, like the poor, is always with tis, and Is (with the single possible exception, not. very common, ot'tne “heathen Chinee”) always done by women. There may be servants in the house, to be sure, who re lieve the ladies thereof In wealthy families of this task, but they are not al ways present, and wilh very fine ware they ard not always to be trusted, except where you may rely surely on tUe breakage and clearage (if dishes tnat are worth the week’s wages very often. But why, it may be asked, dwell upon a matter so nopeless aud dismal. 1 oulv do so because I think I have imagined a plan that will do away with dish wash ing altogether. This can be done with out compelling us to eat either with chop sticks or alter the manner of the Turks, with our fingers. I have no patent for it and shall take none out, but, perhaps, if it succeeds, the man who makes it practi cal—not I who suggest the idea—may some day be entitled to a monument built of abandoned dish rags. No reader will need to be reminded of the pretty Japanse paper napkins, whioh are so often to be met with, which serve well their temporary purpose and which are then thrown away. The Japanese do strange things with' paper, and so, in (act, do the Americans. We also might treat wood pulp, and make, by little touobes of Japanese art, very pretty things of it. It can be made into paper. Think of the fragility and tastefulness and usefulness ot a Japan; se napkin,and also ot the solidity and practical worth of certain pails and car wheels, ail of which are made of paper. The possibilities of paper and paper making are illimitable and tend to cheapness. Suppose, to get at the heart of the mat ter, we should make our dishes, all or nearly all, except (If you wish) the sugar dish and the teapot—and make even our fol ks—of some form ol haruened paper. It ought uot to be impossible to do this, aud do it cheaply. When there should be a universal d* mand lor them, as there surelv would be, they could bo made at a trifling expense; and when the meal is over they can be thrown away, as we throw away the pauer napkins now, and' as we also throw away paper collars and cuffs when they have survived a single service. In fact, they need not be utterly thrown aside. They would go into the kitchen range and help cook the next meal, or they might serve to make heat in the parlor, or sitting room stove. Ttiero would then be no dishes to wash and none of priceless value to look alter and worrv about. There would be no losses from flaking or from utter ruin. The old his toric sets whicp keep the history of our mothers aqip grandmothere alive might bo kept a# br c-a-hrac aud be arranged witn the wfiHuiinc wheel and the reel to decorate tso parlor; or. they might Hit as monuments of a lost art on some abandoned' .sideboard, v'ery pathetic aud restful llio.y.tyould look, and no sigh would ever arise rtfer their practical res toration. :i. ... What is besbVjf ftH# housework would be disarmed of rfk moat hateful and in no ble feature, the loin per of the housewife would be atvaejuDed. and overflowin'.; with sunshine, her hands would find now half hours of leisure each day, and Indoor life would bo relieved of the dismal battle after each in al in the kitchen. Whoever will mase this a practical inventiou will add a new rhythm to the melody of life and dismiss to oblivion a painful and ox asperating discord.

SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: TUESDAY. JANUARY 25. 1887. A NOTE OF ALARM. The Danger Threatened l>y the Wholesale Dest ruction of Timber. Savannah,Ga., Jan. 21.— tiditor Morn ing yews: In a late issue of your valua ble paper I read a dispatch trom Bt. Louis, Mo., announcing the departure from that city of eighteen gentlemen from Illinois, Indiana and Michigan, representing $2,- (100,000 capital, for the South to purchase a million br more acres of land belonging to the Mobile and Ohio railroad in Ten nessee, Mississippi aud Alabama, and erect saw mills and open a now and ex tensive lumber trade iu those sections. 1 have seen inauy similar reports in the papers and noticed that they are regard ed all over the South with great satistac t on as indicating the approach ot a golden era for the South. AMOUNT OF TIMBER ANNUALLY USED. But ought we not pause fora moment to consider seriously whether these ex tensive purchases of Southern timber lands for lumber purposes promise the prosperity which the Southern people think they do? In some i ffie.ial papers received lately from the Department of Agriculture at Washington, I read the following, which may serve as food to the miml of tue wise: The total urea of land of the United States, exclusive of that oc cupied by towns and cities, and lhat cov ered by large bodies ol water, such as ]Kes, etc., is 1.856,670,400 acres, of which 470,080,000 acres are forest area. Now let us follow the figures from the same authoritative source relative to consump tion o! timber. We had in 18*4 157,000 miles of raiiroad track, which required for their building the timber of 4,132,000 , acres in round numbers. To keep the existing roads in repair will require the timber of 699,000 acres annually. Now the average length ot new railroads built every year is about 5,000 milts, requiring the timber of 132,000 acres. If we allow twenty years as the time necessary f r trees to attain a size suitable for making ties, then it would require the annual growtu of 14,755,000 acres to keep good the existing roads, aud 3,000,000 acres to sup ply' the annual demand lor new roads, to say nothing of keeping the latter iu re pair, so that we need to hold in reserve not less than 18,000,000 acres of woodland for the maintenance of the road bed of our railroads, aside from the additional demand for the building of cars, bridges depots and platforms. Tne census also reports tint* iu 1880 iorest fires consumed the trees on 10,275,000 acres. To supply fuel for our factories, locomotives, steam boats, stores and dwellings requires tho product of no less than 6,500,000 aores an nually. The estimated cut of last year would lay bare 5,600,000 acres. All other products of the forest, such as hewn tim ber, posts and telegraphic poles and mis cellaneous articles, of which there are no definite reports, it mav reasonably lie sup posed would clear 4,260,000 acres, making in all 27,357,000 acres annually, v.z.: Acres. For existing- roads repairs t/0.000 For new roads 182,000 Consumption by forest fires lf.fCV u Fuel supply, factories, dwellings— ii.rgm.it:: Ccu timber for other purposes... 5,u o, g Miscellaneous 1,260.0.0 Total 27,867,000 Making an allowance ot 10 per cent, for auy possible overestimate, 25,000,000 acres will be left as the annual consump tion of our forests. Thus it will be seen that an area equal to the Stale ot Ken tucky or Virginia is denuded of its forest trees every year. These are startling figures aud facts, and deserve tfie mom serious attention of tfie statesman as well as the farmer. INFLUENCE OF FOUKSTS UPON CLIMATE AND RAINFALL. The reports received by the Agricultu ral Department Irom diflereut sections ol the country in regard to the influence of forests upon the flow of streams and upon floods and droughts, iu the most positive manner attest the lact that the removal of the lurest Irom the neighborhood of streams not only lessens the whole amount of water flowing in thetr chan nels. but renders tho flow much more irregular thau before. In the case of smaller streams, where the loresl adjacent to tnem, or in widen they have their head springs, have been cut' off, the streams nave beeu so reduced au at certain seasous of the year almost to disappear; and in the case ot streams, whether large orsmall, the result is to produce floods when the snow melts in spring, or after heavy rains, and a greatly diminished flow of water afterward, especially in those seasons of the year when rains are least frequent, aud copious. Hardly anything can be regarded as being better settled, by extended obser vations, thau that the forests are great regulators of the distribution of the water precipitated from the clouds, and conse quently of tho flow of streams. By their shade, and by the obstruction which they oiler to the sweeping winds, they lessen the evaporation which would otherwise carry off speedily from the ground much of the rainfall, or the water irom the melted enow, while the loose, spongy soil, formed by the accumulation of their fallen leaves, retains the rainfall and pre vents it from escaping too quickly to the water courses. The forests cause the wa'er to flow gradually to the streams instead of allowing it to flood them and produce devastating torrents. The Nortneru supplies of lumber b ave within the last few years perceptibly diminished, and for some time attention has been directed to both the pine and the hard woods of the South. The lumber men have been transferring their opera tions to a great extent to tnis region. Agents of the great wood-working establishments of this country and of Europe have visited most of the accessi ble forests of the South and Southwest, and bought up tho choicest ol the hard woods. It is none too soon for the South to take warning from the results of the reckless destruction ot forests in some other parts oi this country and in European couti tr.es aud begin to husband their (on si re. < uice, and so regulate the consumption ot tueir timber that it will not impair 'heir iorest capital, but leave It in such amount and so distributed that it may perpetually yield a sufficient supply ior the economic uses or ibe people, wnile at the same time exerting its proper influ ence in preserving a desirable climatic condition, anil ministering to the Inter ests of agriculture aud commerce. Your valuable paper, always ready to advocate and stimulate all efforts lend ing to the development and prosperity of Ine South, may well sound the note of alarm ami inquire into this subject. Let it call the attention of u.ne Southern people to Ibis matter, with the view ol having them take sucu steps at once as win best protect our forests, and thus avoid the dangers with which the South is ihruatened.
