Monster 6e!zed on Diver and Was Brought to the Surface. This octopus was neither a trust nor any other figure of speech. He was the genuine article and was brought forth from his slimy den at the bottom of the harbor of Cape Town In the course of hls battle with a diver named Palmer. The diver was at work under water attaching a concrete chain to one of the seven-toblocks ef the pier. The water waa clear enough for him to distinguish objects easily. As he was stooping over hls duties s monster cuttlefish which had been lurking la a cavity underneath the block darted out a huge tentacle and In an instant had pinioned hls leg as in a vise. Another tentacle shot out, pinioning his arm. Palmer describes the action of the suckers upon hls hand as like a severe electric shock. He was weakened with the terror and nausea with which the appearance of the horrible mass of viacuoua gelatin filled him. He hastily pulled the signal cord tnd the men above began to haul him up. Palmer waa literally wreathed about with tentacles. The exertion and terror had practically exhausted him before he reached the surface. Willing hands dragged him up the ladder, but even then the octopus would not release Its prey. Knives and hatchets had to be used and the strength of several men exerted to tear away the mass. Spread out on the pier, the octopus measured eleven f feet from Up to tip of Its and tentacles. It Is described as the largest that has ever been landed on the South African coast. 0 9, 1.1 ZtC Tripple-threa- d extra special at Hose 1()C n one-hal- SEE MONEY IN INVENTION. Artificial Diamonds Occupying Attention of French Investigators. The reward of the Inventor who can produce artificial diamonds Is so tempting that the Molsson experiments with the electric furnace, which were inaugurated some eight or ten yean ago, have been continued until the present day. They are now being carried on in the laboratory of the Sorbonne, In Paris, with success. The first diamonds made by the electric furnace were of microscopic size and few In number. In fact, they were so minute and uncommon that it took a great deal of repeated experimenting to secure enough specimens to demonstrate beyond a doubt that the brilliant crystals were actually diamonds. Aa the work continued various modifications were worked out, as the experience of the investigators became greater, unUl now success seems imminent. The crystals are positively known to partake of all the characteristics of ths diamond In crystalline structure, hardness and chemical composition, az demonstrated by combustion experiments. The largest crystal a milliyet obtained Is only meter In lensth, and, while this la only a spark, it indicates that the process Is capable of yielding diamonds of good quality, and that some day in the not distant future the laboratory process of Mother Nature, aa exemplified In The Rand, may be duplicated In mans laboratory and In a commercial At the Theaters ! i On the Funny Bone tv Utahna W I mooom M M "The Lost Paradise."
