GOSSIP OF THE BOROUGH
Brooklyn Man Spends Bad Half
Hour in Room zcith a Dog.
A former city official went to call on a sick friend
the other evening, and ih<- maid who lulmitted him
to the. house neglected *b light the ca? In the par
lor. The room was partially illuminated by the
light in the hall, but the place was gloomy and
filled with chitting shadows. The visitor perched
uncomfortably on the ©dg« <if a sofa and looked
abo-jt' him with near-siglited eyes. !!*> noticed
across the room from liim by the mantel a fero
cious dog. The bea=t had raised his head and
was looking at him In a manner that was calcu
lated to makf him feel very uneasy.
The visit<>r tried to look ;\vay. remembering
that other.- who were in da.r.K<--i of brine attacked
r<y strange, docs had saved themselves by appear
ing at their ease. The dog continued to nok at
htm cu'.lenly. and the visitor determined that if
the animal did finally decide to come at him he
would «!iml> up on the bookcase. That was the
tallest piece of furniture in the room. Finally the
wife of the, sick man came downstairs and an
nounced that her husband was ready to receive
him. Me walked out of the door, being careful to
keep the woman between him and the dog as he
went. The dog nntr stirred, but kept his eyes
rived oil th>- slranppr until he had reached the
Mairs. After talkine to his frWid for a while, the
visitor at lpncth ■k<ri .
"What kind of doc in 'that one you have, charl>?"
"Why, I haven't got a dop now. Ber.nie," taid
tfce fick man. "Mine di«<l a shori time ago. I've
been ttunkrng seiio'isly of petting another."
"vl"hy— why, I saw a d<"g downstairs: in the par
ior just now. n'tin't that your dig?"
The H.-k tnan lwushed uproariously.
"That «l"g you nw, Sfnnle." he an=-serfd. "was

THE CULLINAN DIAMOND.
The CuDtnan diamond, the largest and most valu
able gem the world has ever seen, has been th«
subject of many a fantastic story, the latest of
which is told In "The Transvaal Leader."
The Cullinan stone was found. It will be remem
bered, about four years as., at the Premier mine,
but only a portion of it. according to the South
African newspaper, reached England.
There Is »aid to remain from the Cullinan a stone
weighing 4,323 carats, of ten inches In circumfer
ence and three and a half Inches in diameter,
though "The Transvaal Leader" carefully reftains
from Bvouching8 vouching for the accuracy of the statement
The story continues: "The finer and larger por
tion of the stone had been discovered by native
workers, and removed to safe hiding in the Magato
fastnesses of the Zoutpansberß. Several prominent
Dutchmen in this part of the country secured
knowledge of the district In which the gem was
loncealnd, ami negotiations were set on foot tor the
recovery of the stone.
"The ' native chief to whom the diamond was
origtnallv intrusted has now. it Is understood,
travelled to Pretoria and handed over the stone to
the rightful owners on payment of a sum of £1.000
a:iu a Kua-antee of indemnity against prosecution
under the illut diamond .buying law. The negotia
tions were sbnducted by a Dutrh-speaklng Trans
vaaler. who received, it is said, a large sum for
having been instrumental In the restoration of the
colossal gem "• ."- - - „
Xotning of the story is known in the London
offices of the Premier mine, nor does the rumor
seem to have reached the great diamond market
of Hatton Garden.— London Express,

PROTECTING PAINTERS IN FRANCE.
Concerning the final action of the French Con
gress on the question of the use Of White lead in
painting. Consul John C. Covert writes from Lyons:
Six months ago this consulate reported that th«
labor unions of France had unanimously petitioned
Congress to prohibit the use of white lead in paint.
alleging that it was very injurious to health The
Congress referred trie question to a special com
mittee, which made a thorough investigation of
the subject in H of the 88 departments of France,
as well a? in Algeria and Tunis, and reported that
of 101 journeymen painters who were sick in the
hospitals investigated in 1904. only 27 were sick
from diseases caused by the us*" of white lead. Th«
report said: '"The committee has not been able to
discover any of th" ravages from the use of white
lead attributed to it by the labor unions The
death rate among house painters is very low, aver
aging only l in 7,600 or MOO painters." The re
port declared that th« mortality among house paint
> rs was large only where there was an excessive
use of alcohol. /,
The bill to prohibit the us.' of white lead intro
duced in I9M was defeated, but another bill for th«»
same purpose was Introduced at once. It was
enacted by the lower house of the French Congress
in I'<' 7. and was discussed in the Senate and by
joint committee from time to time until July V.I,
1903. when It became a law
The point upon which the two houses differed
wns whether an Irdemnitv should be allowed to
manufacturers of white lead for damages they
mlghi sustain from the loss of a market for th".»
goods they had on ham The law us finally passed
prohibits the v*< of white lead In painting of
buildings. inside or outside, after the expiration of
ill!-.-.- years. li Is calculated that within that time
the manufacturers will be able to dispose of their
product on hand so that no loss will accrue. —

New Home of Mystic Shrincrs Well
Under Way.
The erection of Kismet Temple, the new home of
the Mystic Shriners. which is being built In Herki
mer street, near Xostrand avenue, is now well un
der way. On August IS the cornerstone was laid
with fitting ceremonies. it la expected that the
buildniK will be completed in March. 1310. Its cost,
exclusive of the decorating and furnishing, will he
JilV" I.1 '. The site of the new building is the old
Campbell property, which was secured at a cost of
SS.M* The site runs mo feet along: lleflUsaei street
and extends I^.", feet through the block.
Kismet Temple was. % organlzed twenty-two years
ago. largely through the efforts of Illustrious NoMe
Wayland. Trask, who was also largely instrumental
in organizing the Brooklyn consistory of the An
cient and Accepted Scottish Rite. He presided over
both bodies for many years. At that time the
Shriners met at No. 38 Court street, a building
which gave way to the Temple Bar Building. Most
of its lif* the organization has made its home, at
Aurora Grata Cathedral. Bedford avenue and
Madison street. In 190rt the fight for exclusive juris
diction of Long Island was begun in the Imperial
Council, and Kismet's representatives won. This
resulted in a great growth in the membership. In
1907 it was found that the organization must put up
Its own building in order to secure proper accom
modations Last year a first mortgage bond Issue
of Sterna nt 5 per cent was authorized, and archi
tects were asked to compete for the work of
Planning the hutUling. R. T. Short, of Manhattan
won. He associated with him in the preparation of
the plans B. W. Levitan. Mr. Short has super
vision of the erection of the structure.
The temple I. situated where it can be convenient
ly reached by its more than two thousand members.
The building is necessarily being put up with gen
