Itocause ItH xite was undesirable, It wuh proposed t? hire a contractor to move the structure to a new location, Imt the army engineers devised a plan by which the men themselves could perform the tank and mo aaVe money. They estimated that with 250 soldlera helping, each would have to carry Icsh than 50 pounds. Accordingly the build ing was well braced and ItH walla pro vided with runners.

CIGAR AS OPIUM SUBSTITUTE Aiding in Redemption of China, Where Natives Are Now Frequently 8een Smoking Their Cheroots. The cigar la doing a large part In the redemption of China. It la no un common thing to ace a native amoklng ids cheroot, which promises to enjoy the favor once bestowed on opium. The import of cigars into various Chinese ports has been greatly on the Increase in the last few years, and now amounts to about $350,000 annually. Of this trade four-fifths normally Is through Hongkong. There has been a marked Increase In the quantity of Dutch-made cigars used In South China and other portions of the Far East during the last year or more, where, for various reasons, Philippine cigars have been losing In favor. Previous to the outbreak of the war In Europe considerable quantities of cheap cigars were sold in China and the Far East through German firms In Hongkong, and a German cigar fac tory was operated In Hongkong for the manufacture of cheap cigars for ^he Chinese trade and also for export to Europe. This factory Is still operated I under Chinese control. Diamonds to Remain High. The high cost of diamonds keeps up. If you have any hidden away among your potatoes and onions hold them, for you may not get any mare. This Is the prophecy made at a convention of the New York State Iletall Jewelers' association at New York, which pre dicts that the high price of diamonds will hold for a good many years after the uar. Benjamin Rees. a diamond importer, in the role of prophet, said he had been abroad on diamond-buying ex cursions five times since the war be gan: that diamonds have advanced In price HO to 40 per cent In the past year, and that the high prices will hold because the 17.000 cutters and polish ers iu Belgium are none, the Kaflirs who mined the rough diamonds are making munitions and that England probably will put a tax on rough dia monds. Candles Vs. Electricity. The Society for Electrical Develop ment. anxious to encourage a wider use of electricity for lighting, has pre pared figures showing it is much cheap er than candles or kerosene. A recent test of six candles showed that for 1 cent only 2.68 candle-power hours were obtained. If electricity for lighting costs 9 cents for a kilowatt hour a 20-watt lamp can be lighted for 50 hours for 9 cents. The efficiency of a 20-watt incandescent is a candle power for 1.17 watts. Thus a 20-watt lamp will provide about 17 candle power. It will burn 50 hours for 9 cents, or 850 candle-power hours will cost 9 cents. One cent will buy 94.4 candle-power hours, or 35 times as much light as can be obtained from a candle for 1 cent. Salesmanship in School*. Boston has a director of salesman ship In its public schools. The place is filled by Isabel C. Bacon, who, at a session of the National Retail Dry Goods association, presented the ques tion of c?/-o|>eratIve courses in sales manship in high schools and stores.
