It is said the scab? that have been forking in that factory for the past ear have become dissatisfied with 1 he conditions under which they were working, and on Wednesday morning 10 o'clock they walked out. Just fhat caused the strike has not been Earned, but it is known that the men i ave had many ups and downs with the concern and finally it came to a howdown Wednesday morning. On last Friday ni^ht about twenty ien were laid off, but on Thursday lorning about seven went back to vork. Why these men were laid off ould not be found out, but the union pickets know that trouble has been I Tewing in the plant for some time. 1 me of the reasons for the dissatisfac ion was because the firm did not i lake a settlement with the Machin es' Union the same time that the rouble was settled at the Black & lawson plant. District Organizer Nicholson, of the nternational Association of Machin es, who called on the Black & Claw on Company also called on the Ham ilton Machine Tool Company. The fficials of the Hamilton Machine Tool Company refused to have any thing to do with the officers of the Machinists' Union, consequently the strike is still on and another strike of the men who have taken the places of the union men have struck also, It has been reported that the scabs who went on strike are thinking about putting pickets around the plant to keep the scabs from rcabbing on them, VALLEYJCE CO. Completes Plant and Ready For Business Hamilton's new ice plant, the Val ley Ice Company, is now complete and ready for business. Delivery of ice began last Tuesday. The plant is lo cated on South Front street in the former Cincinnati Brewing Company plant, which was entirely remodeled until now the Valley Ice Company's plant is said to be the most modern and complete in the state of Ohio. Hamilton is fortunate in this acqui sition as this additional plant pre cludes an ice famine for the city in the future. Trucks and wagons are now making deliveries to all parts of lie city, of tht Boy Scouts of America.) WHERE REAL SCOUTS SHINE The boy who learns fire building thoroughly is a safe inhabitant of the l'orest. The boy who goes abroad with two matches and a new ax as his sole equimpent is a menace to himself, the good name of scouting, and the safety of the woods into which he ventures. Accordingly the ability to build a fire in the open, using not more than two matches, is a second-class scout If Y Diamond Qop Billions Statistical Expert Estimates Value of Gems at Approximately $ 13,906,642,000 all the diamonds mined in a Chicago statistical expert The pile would contain 46,355,474 carats and the gems would weigh ten and one-half tons. If the pile were in the form of a cone, it would have a base diameter of eight feet and a height of five feet. Reckoning the diamonds at $300 a carat, it would have a value of $13,906,842,200. It would contain 710 1-3 gallons worth $5,539,023 a gallon or 76 1-3 bushels valued at $51,570,729 a bushel. All the world's diamonds could be packed in an ordinary clothes closet or a kitchen pantry. This estimate is based on an approximation of the total output of rough diamonds in the world's entire history. India, it is estimated, has produced, all told, 50,000,000 carats Brazil, 15,000,000 South Africa, 170,574,000 Borneo, 1,000,000 British Guiana, 50,000 Australia, 150, 000 China, 2,000 Siberia, 500 United States, 500. This is a total rough output of 236,777,374 carats, or 55 3-5 tons avoirdupois. Only about fifty per cent of rough diamonds are cut into gems and lose about sixty per cent of their weight in being cut and polished. Dia monds are practically indestructible and the first diamond ever mined may possibly still be in existence. But the estimate allows for the loss of at least 1,000,000 carats by flood, fire, shipwreck and other disasters. These reductions and losses leave the total of cut and polished diamonds at 46,« 355,474 carats. The estimate of $300 a carat is the minimum price at which diamonds can be bought today. The popular demand for diamonds was never so great and they have become the gem of the working people as well as the wealthy classes. They are worth three times as much now as before the war and sell at from $300 to $1,000 a carat, THE BUTLER COUNTY PRESS. requirement, and In actual practice it Is one of the first things a boy should stiffly upon entering the great brother* hood. When the red gods call and the weather man favors, any lad can en tice flame. Ignite a glorious smudge, singe his eyebrows, and come home with a feeling that potatoes baked In an oven are better than potatoes cr&» mated in a bonfire. It Is the scoutmaster's high priv ilege to initiate his boys into the charmed circle of real scouts to whom unpropitious weather is no barrier, and to build in their hearts, not only the pattern of the tepee fire and many other arrangements of fuel and druft, but to build also, love of the growing tree, love of an unscarred and unburned woodland, love of an entirely extinguished fire marked by two unburned crossed sticks and nn. shamed by waste puper and tin cans. SCOUTS' FIRST-AID DRILL. ", v •y* ,, -.-..v. How the Youngsters Train to Render Aid When There is an Emergency. HOW 8COUT8 AID IN FORE8TRY. The approval of scout co-operation In forestry work was given by John H. Wallace. Jr., commissioner of con servation in Alabama: "The Roy Scouts of Alabama have recently rendered this department a distinctive service by placing In con spicuous places, throughout their re spective communities, our conservation posters. "I regard the friendship and co operation of the Boy Scouts of Ala bama as among the most valuable as sets of this depnrtment In creating a wholesale public sentiment favorable to the enforcement of the laws of this state for the protection of our national resources." Why Dance Party la "Ball." Ball play in chilrch by the dean and choir boys of Naples was a curious old custom during the "Feast of Fools" at Easter. The boys danced around the dean singing an antiphon. The dean had a ball which he threw to them, and they caught It while dancing. Later at private dancing parties the dancers threw a ball to each other as, to the sound of their own voices, they whirled around In sets. The pastime consisted in loosening hands in time to catch the ball. Dancing has long sur vived this range game, but a dancing party Is still called a ball. What Really Keeps Time. As a measurer of time the pendu fom ranks today as the most perfect of our Instruments, says the Scientific American. It is the part of a clock that keeps time. All the rest of the mechanism Is simply for the purpose of keeping up Its vibration or to point on a dial the number of vibrations it has made. It swings back and forth in a complete arc 30 times each min ute, but allows the escape-wheel to move a cog at each vibration, thus checking off on the dial, by means of the second hand, 30 seconds of time. In a similar way. minutes and hours are recorded, and by a like process a watch Is guided. history and existing today as cut and polished gems were gathered from the ends of the earth, they would form a pile about as large as a wagon load oi coal dumped on the sidewalk, says MACHINISTS TO MEETSATORDAY Machinists' Union No. 241 will meet in Trades Council hall, Saturday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock.

The shaggy old Tibetan yak at the "zoo" died some while ago and n new yak occupied his shed and Inclosure. Yesterday a visitor stood watching the yak munching at a truss of hay in i hks manger. He called the yak and It took no notice. Then, having read Hooker's "Himalayan Journals," he re membered the calls of the Tibetan maidens when they bring the yaks home at sunset. The visitor uttered the call. The yak dropped a mouthful of hay. gave a deep grunt and came shambling to the bars of its stable. The visitor pat ted and fondled It, and grunted yak language and It licked his hand, and when he left the yak house It ran out of its shed and followed hltn around Its large barred Inclosure. He returned later and found the ,vnk still restless. It had deserted its meal It paced the inclosure and made plain tive noises. The visitor gave the Tibe tan girl's rail again, and again the yak ran to him. "Good heavens!" cried a stranger, "how do you tame 'zoo' ani mals like that?" He was told the se cret "Poor old yak, poor old fellow," said the stranger. "How can we guess what chords you have touched—\hat memo ries of snow and ice, and praying wheels and Idols, of Tibetan girls with turquoise ornaments in their braided hair? Look how troubled the old yak is—It isn't fair to give home-sickness to prisoners at the zoo!"—London Dally Mall. EXPLAINS ACTION OF NODDING I! indication of "Yes" and "No" a Trait Common in Humans and the Lower Animals. Before a child learns to say Myes" or "no." he Instinctively nods his head —a haughty, condescending up-and down—to show that he approves, or a vigorous shaking from side to side when the Imperious will has been crossed. Later on, as he seems to show a preference for this way of expressing himself, It is often neces sary to remind him that he can speak. Many of us may sympathize with the man who said to Darwin, "Your ancestors may have been apes," but It cannot be denied that we have many things in common with the other species. Watch a young animal ready to re ceive food. With eager eyes and mouth open it makes quick, forward movements of the head. When the food Is not acceptable a tightly clenched Jaw and sideward motion of the head serve to keep the mother ani mal from forcing food upon It. So after all these centuries man's mouth is still relaxed when he nods "yes." but there Is a strong tendency to clench his teeth and even close his eyes when he shakes "no."—Exchange. Black6liding Organ. An appeal now being made on behalf of a poor country church for a new organ has been re-enforced by a coin cidence—the old organ happened to cipher, or produce of its own accord, a long-drawn, wailing sound just as the words were being read from b. "They rejoice at the sound of the organ." This has been Interpreted as a good omen, and it reminds a corre spondent of what happened in the Sus sex village of Jevlngton. A new organ was bought of the kind which could be played by turning a handle. The church was crowded to hear its open ing recital. All went well till the end of the first psalm the singing then ceased, but the organ went on playing. It seemed that the man In charge had failed to discover how to put on the brake. From the pfwlin tune the organ went on to give a lively secular catch called "Drops of Brandy." and then started on a merry air entitled "Go to the Devil and Shake Yourself,"—Lon don Morning Post. MAYBE SO In an Irish courthouse an old man was called into the witness box, and, being confused and somewhat near sighted he went up the stairs that led to the bench instead of those that led to the box. The judge good-humored ly said: "Is it a judge you want to be, mj good man?" "Ah, sure, your worship," was th reply. "I'm an old man now, an mebbe it's all I'm fit for."—YouthV Companion.
