A
HOW A MILLIONAIRE feels.
A STORY OF THE "CULLINAN" DIAMOND.
on Tuesday, April 4, n representative of "Iron and Steel Trades Journal," at the invita- tion of the Premier (Transvaal) Mining Co. viewed the great" Callinan " diamond at the offices of the company in "olborn Viaduct. While thanking thể, directors for the courtesy extended to him, the representative felt some what in the position of the little penniler street urchin who gozes longingly at the tarts in a pastrycookie window. Indeed, his case was even worse than the longing child, for, no- doubt, with the kindest intentions, his feelings were further harrowed by bring allowed to hold for a brief second or two this lump of crystalli.ed carbon, worth a million, in his

cult power the reporter is unable to say, be yond the fact for the 30th part of a minute he realised the strange sensation of having sud: denly become a millionaire. Visions of Park. Jane, steamy yach's, Minte Carlo, a racing stud and a new daily paper streple-chased through his brain until he was aroused from his drear by the voice of the attendant saying, "Next please," in a second-he was as poor as he had been a minu e before but even to have Feen a millionaire for two seconds breaks the mopalony of a journalist's life.
Needless to say that the stone was carefully guarded, and we make no apology to our ex teemed contemporary the Rialto for printing the following humorous description of that paper's representative's visi. To begin with, the early arrivals at Messrs. Neumann's offices were allowed to handle the stone, which was passed round to them individually to fondle, but this privilege was wisely withdrawn n the attendance grew, and the gem was replaced in its casket," where it tasted on a cushion of white velvet. Another paint of difference was that none of the dona. fide members of the Press-were introduced in chains or even handcuffed, while several lady Journalists, whose cupidity in such matters might be expected to exceed that of the mere man thing, were left fren to gaze upon the mammoth jewel, and to take copious notes concerning it at their leisure Not that leisure was exactly implied by their eagerness to joi down every available detail chrcerning the stone, which they were all doubtless yearning to possess As to the "Cullman" itself, it resembled nothing that we would think of more than lump of domestic washing soda, about the size of a murda fist. There it lay in its glass case, and if we had had a confederate nutside we could readily have knocked it through the window, despite the frail brass rail which was sup, used to hold us at a safe distance. Untold wealth lay concealed in that Translucent stone, but we couldn't get anyone to put a price upon it. The question seems to bereserved for the decision of some Vatwee
millionaire with a thirst for curiosities That thing may be worth a million or more. It was insured for £500,cos in its récent passage from South Africa, but nothing like it has ever been known before-except the lump of soda afore- said and no one knows what may be its market price. It weighs 3025 carats, or about a pound and ashulf, jam weight and is some three times as big as the next biggest known to exist. We shook of our tenered feeling on we left Messrs. Neumann's office, and resisting the temptation to a cah it, hoarded a penny 'bus to the Bank, musing meanwhile on the unevenness of fortune and on the little space that for a few brief moments had separated us from încalculable riches.”

Str. badan from Bangkok:-Moderate to
animals are lost in the dimness of antiquitylight NE. and E. winds, and fine weather. such as fox, weasel, sheep, horse, dog and baboon. Of the origin of these we have forever lost the clew. With camel we cannot go farther back than the Latin word camelus, and elephant balks us with the old Hindoo word elph, which means ap ox. The old root of the word woll meant one who tears or rends,
Lynx is from the sime Latin root as the word lux (light) and probably was given to these wildcats on account of the fierce bright ness of their eyes. Lion is, of course, from the Latin leo, which word, in turn, is lost far back in the Egyptian tongue, where the word for the king of beasts was labu. The compound word leopard is first found in the Persian language, where pars stands for panther. Seal, very appropriately, was once a word meaning of the sea; close to the Lätin sal, the sea.
Puma, jaguar, tapir and peccary (from paquires) are all names from South American Indian languages. The coyote and acelat were called coyou, and ocelotl by the Mexicans long before Cortez landed on those abores.
Moose is from the ludian word mauswah, meaning wood-eater; skunk, from seganku, an Algonquin term; wapiti. is the Crea lan guage, means white deer, and was originally Applied to the Rocky Mountain goat, but the name is now restricted to the American elk, Caribou is also a native Indian word; opossum in from possowne, and 'raccoon is from the Indian arahkune (by further apheresis, coon), Rhinoceros is pure Greek, meaning nose. homed, but beaver has indeed had a rough time of it in its travels through various languages: It is hardly recognizable as bebrus, babbru and bru. The latter is the ultimate roof of our word brows. The original applica tion was doubtless on account of the color of the creature's fur. Oiter takes us back to Sanskrit, where we find it udra. The signif cance of this word in in its close kinship to ndan, meaning water.
The fikle mousa hands his name down
though the years from the old, old Sanskirt, the mot meaning to gjeni. The word rat may have been derived from the root of the Latin word vadere, to scratch, or rodore, to gnaw. Rodent is derived from the latter term. Cat is also in doabi, but is first recognized in catulus, diminutive of canis, a dog, it was applied to the young of almost any animal, as we use the words, pup, kitten, cub, etc. Bear is the result of tongue-twisting, from the Latin fera, a wild
beast.
via Peer is of obscure origin, but may have
been an adjective, meaning wild. Elk is derive ad from the same root as eland, and the his.. tory of the latter word is an interesting one. It meant a sufferer, and was applied by the Teutons to the elk of the Old World on ac count of the awkward gait and stiff movements of this ungainly animal. -
267 Squirrel has a poetic origin in the Greek language, its original meaning being shadow. rail Tiger is far more intricate. The old Persian word tir meant arrow, while, tighra sigulfed sharp. The application to this great animal was in allusion to the swiftness with. which thu tigar leapsúpan its prey-Outing:
Str. Ilangsang from Shangbai :-Very foggy weather to Tong Ting, thence moderate N. to NE. winds, overcast and mysty to Swatow, from thence calms, and light variable airs to Pedro Blanco, thence to port light SW, winds, and passing showers.
