HERMITS LIVE IN CAVES."
I
i!
Rise at Dswn and 8ssk Slssp with
8etting Sun.
The strange colonies of hermits who
have taken up their abode in the
neighborhood of Locarno, Ronco and
Orselina are increasing In numbers.
One group, which occupies the wood­
ed plateau known as Monte Verita, Is
125 strong, and counts in Its members
sfe German professors, three military
officers, one of whom is married to a
countess who also belongs to the sect,
two doctors and a priest, says a corre­
spondent for the St Louis Globe-Dem­
ocrat.
The majority are well to do, and
^ome are wealthy. As these pay well
for anything they buy and do not trou­
ble about making converts, the inhab­
itants are on, friendly terms with
them.
They sleep in caves, are vegetarians
and do not wear ordinary clothing.
A linen hood and a shroud of the
same material are the only garments
they wear. Their feet, legs, arms and
necks are uncovered, and the hair is
never cut, though he men. trim their
beards in a patriarchal, way. The
Vbmen allow their tresses to float in
the air.
The motto of all is "Back to na­
ture."
"The height of wisdom and philos­
ophy," they say, "is to understand na­
ture that alone brings peace and hap­
piness."
They rise at dawn and go to sleep
with the setting of the sun they eat
only fruit and vegetables and drink
only water. In the summer they have
daily sun baths and in the winter
snow baths.
Sonle of them have extraordinary
theories, which they carry out with
great perseverance. One beautiful
woman of 30, who was formerly a
well-known singer at the Berlin opera,
refuses to touch money, which she
says is the, root of all eviL Her theory
often lands her in difficulties, from
which she occasionally extricates her*
self by singing to her debtors.
Another member only eats vegeta­
bles that ripen underground. A third
confines himself strictly to raw eggs
and potatoes.
A fourth spends $25 a week among
the poo.r villagers and keeps the doc­
tors busy by bringing to their notice
cases for which he pays.
All the colony are in the best of
health and always appear perfectly
happy, amiable and polite.
Fooled the Grocer.
T. Augustus Heinze, at a dinner in
Butte, praised a western orator.
"At the start," said Mr. Heinze,
"this man secures the sympathy of
his audience. There was, for instance,
a distracted fellow who entered a gro­
cer's shop and said: 'I believe I am.
an Injured husband, sir, and I desi
to verify my suspicions by watching
a house in the next street But I can
only do this safely from the rear of
your shop. Will you let me sit by the
open window there for half an hour?'
The
grocer,
patting the man's shoul­
der in kindly fashion, said:
f.
'To be sure, my friend. Make
yourself at home.'
"Some time passed. Then the jeal­
ous husband rushed through the shop,
rolling his eyes and muttering: 'I'll
kill her! I'll go home and get the gun
and kill her now.'
'Your wife,' said the grocer.
'Yes,' groaned the man. 'My false
wife, my adored May. I can not doubt
her guilt, and before sundown I shall
be a murderer.'
"The grocer tried to detain him,
:but
he got away. Nothing happened
ln
the w^y .of murcler for an hour or
more and then, a little disappointed
and suspicious the grocer made an in­
vestigation in the back of his shop, to
find that there had been passed out
through the open window three tubs
of butter, a crate of eggs, two bags of
flour and a dozen hams."
Esperanto.
"The other day, at the Cafe Neapolt
tan, a favorite haunt of journalists
and men of letters, French and for­
eign,' says a Paris correspondent,
sat beside three tourists—an Austrian,
a Bulgarian and an Italian—who,
ignorant of one another's native
tongue, talked in Esperanto. To me
it was a revelation, in the sense that
hearing or seeing a thing is so much
more conclusive and impressive than
reading about it'

DIAMONDS OUT"OF SPACE#
Samples Mined on Earth Fragment*
of Immense Meteorites.
Tfie only real perfect diamonds
which are to be found on this globe
are those which fall from the sky in
meteorites all diamonds which are
mined in the diamond fields of the
world are only fragments of gems.
That Is a startling statement, but
a still more startling one is that all
the diamonds to be found on this
planet have fallen on the earth from
the skies and liave. not, as most per­
sons suppose, been produced here like
coal and other mineral products.
Yet this is the latest scientific as­
sertion with regard to the world's
stock of the precious stones. The
whole stock of the Kimberly mines,
with their unknown resources, and all
the gems of this character to be found
in. any part of the planet—all have
fallen from space at some time or
other.
Somewhere in the illimitable dis­
tance ,there is a vast diamond factory,
the only place where perfect gems are
produced. The first piece of evidence
is that the whole of the rock in which.
Kimberly gems are found is similar
to nothing else on earth it has been
given -a distinguishing name (kimber­
ly) and it corresponds exactly with
the matter of which meteorites are
composed.
In plain language, the whole of that
vast mass of rock fell on earth from,
the skies at some late period of the
world's formation. This is rather
staggering, but It must be remem-*
bered that there is*a mountain in Ari­
zona which is acknowledged by all
scientists to be a meteoric mountain.
And diamonds are being found at that
spot
Diamonds are found practically In
Superficial layers of the earth's crust
that- is'another proof of their celestial
origin. Further, the diamond crystals
are formed like no others that are of
earthly origin this Is regarded as a
strong proof that-they fell from
above. It is curious that earthly dia­
monds are not perfect-and-that some
of them when first brought from Kim­
berly mines and exposed to the air
explode and crack intoi several pieces.
Now the stones which come down in
meteorites also explode when they are
taken from the protecting mass which
covers them completely. This is due
to the peculiar conditions which pre­
vail where the stones are produced
and these conditions' can not prevail
on. the earth as the oxygen prevents
them.
In order fX make a diamond it
is necessary that the constituents
should be- very hot' and then '.cooled
quite suddenly nothing else, will ac­
count ior the peculiar shape of the
crystals and the general formation of
the gem.
DR. FRENCH'S WATERMELONS.
The Punishment He Meted Out to the
Juvenile Thieves.
Of all the favorites of the "storied
past," in the matter of original clever­
ness and qualnthess of humor, few
surpass Dr. French, of the little vil­
lage of Bath, N. H. Dr. French has
been dead over 60 years, yet some of
his unique adventures are household
words to-day.
One summer he possessed a crop of
watermelons that made his heart
glad and the sihall boy envious. One
moonlight night the sin of envy was
transmuted Into larceny, and the doc*
tor was bereft of the finest of his
patch.
He said nothing, thought much, and
apparently did nothing.^ But some
eveningB later, before midnight, he re­
ceived. sudden summonses to the bed
Bide of half a dozen small boys In the'
neighborhood.' They were very ill,
and vomited copiously.
Dr. French then knew who had
taken his melons, as he had inject
ed a stiff dose of tartar emetic into
some of his melons. Since he col­
lected his usual fee from each patient,
he was quite indifferent to the fur­
ther punishment of the bad boys, and
discovered a new source of profit in
melon raising. But the story was too
good to keep, and in later years he
often repeated it.
Lady Curzon's Voice.
In the later years of her life only
very intimate friends knew that Lady
Curzon possessed a remarkably fine
winging
voice or that she had been a
pupil of Mine. Marches!. ^People hard­
ly gave her the credit for hating self
advertisement or for being' shy and
yet she did one and was the other.
Till the end she and her husband kept
up tie liablt of their courtship days'
when apart and telegraphed or cabled
to each other dally. In view of Lady
Curzon's untimely death, superstitious
folk are pbinting to the fact that at
t^e' Delhi Durbar she wore a dtass
with a design of the unlucky pea­
cock's feather. Her young friends
chaffed her on this at the time and
ioid her that no wearer of peacock
feathers ever had good luck there­
after.
To Prohibit Barmaids.
A movement Is on foot in England
to prohibit women from acting as
barmaids. If passed/ the proposed bill
will affect between 30,000 and 40,000
Women.
