suggest its inflammability; the same surmise
was made by the great Newton; but the first
record of experimental proof was from the
Academy of Florence, in 1894, under Duke
Oosmo the Third, when diamond was sub
Jected to q powerful burning-lens. 1t first
split, then emitted sparks, and finally disap-
peared. M. Guyon de Morveau, in 1885, ex-
posed a diamond enclosed in a cavity in q
piece of iron to intense heat When the
cavity was opened, the diamond had entirely
vanished, but the iron around was converted
into steel, thus proving the gem to consist of
pure carbon.
1t has been found possible to manufacture
diamonds by the capitalization of carbon,
but hitherto of n size SO infnitesimally mi
mute as to be of no value except in q scien-
tifc point of view. Brilliant points NAV oc-
casionally be observed in coke that has been
exposed to furnace heat; these are diamond
particles, and are capable of cutting glass
Thus, in the marvellous laboratory of nature,
the oommonest and poorest matter becomes
converted into the most precious gem.
The diamond frequently becomes phospho-
resent on exposure to the suns rays. The
Hon. Robert Boyle, writing in 1872, SAYS
~ have had in my keeping diamond which,
by water made little more than lulxewarm,
could bring to shine in the dark. 1t is no
doubt this phosphorescent quality that gave
rise to the legendary power of diamonds and
carbuncles to emit light, belief we find very
ancient. In the Talmud it is said that Noah
had no other light in the ark than that fur
nished by precious stones. The Vedas of the
Brahmins also speak of place lighted by
rubies and diamonds which emit light like
that of the planets.
The rough diamond is little more attractive
than the common pebble; its brilliancy being
concealed under hard crust, that can only
he removed nv diamond nowdar Thou oh tha
art of cutting this gem has only been brought
to perfection during the last few centuries
those cut and polished at Golconda being of
clumsy workmanship-the stone was formerly
valued for other, and for the most part fabu-
lous qualities.

former country is now engaged in dispute
with the Porte on a question of frontier, and It
is said that in the event of this question giving
rise to a war Montenegro win be assisted by the
Mirdites. The latter, who, like the Montene-
grams, are a warlike people of mountaineers
were governed up TO last year by princes of
their own nationality, but on the death of their
Prince, Bid-Doda, the Porte refused to recognize
his heir, and sent Turkish governor to rule
them in his place. This measure has caused
great discomfort among the Mirdites, and the
correspondent believes that they will take the
first opportunity of shaking off the Turkish rule.
The Moscow Gazette of the 26th of Novem-
Der 18th of December) gives an interesting ac-
count of the expedition which has been sent by
the Russian Government to the Caspian Sea.
The expedition, it says, consists of 1900 men
and six horses, and has embarked at PetroVsk
on board four screw steamers the Armenian,
the Tamara, the Volga, and the Turcoman, with
provisions, forage, fur tents, and other articles
required for camping in the desert including the
Norton apparatus for sinking wells. This fotilla
is to proceed TO the Bay of KrasnoyodsS The
expedition is under the command of NJ. Stoetoff,
who Is conversant with most of the Asiatic Ian
guages, and has travelled great deal in Turkestan.
The Bay of Krasnovodsk, adds the Gazette, sis
the upper portion of the Gulf of Balkan into which
the river Amou-Darya (Black river, the Oxus of
the ancients) formerly discharged itself. This
river has since, according to tradition, changed
its course in consequence of an earthquake, and
now falls into the Sea of Aral. The bay of Kras-
novodsk is rather Deep the bottom is of firm sand,
WlJn BuluclenJ anchorage lOr large 5nlpS. III Is
surrounded by mountains, and in some parts by
rocks. Several wells of sweet water exist in
the adjoining country. In an island near the
river there is a species of rocky earth called kir,
which may be used for fuel; there are also some
sources of naphtha. The bay is navigable all the
year round, as it does not freeze in winter. The
Turcoman Inhabitants of the surrounding coun-
try are nomads, with a liking for commerce and
navigation; but at present they are brigands and
pirates, living on the plunder of the Persian
villages and the Russian merchant ships in the
Caspian. The bay was first occupied by the
Russians under Bekovitch, in the reign of Peter
/. Another attempt to establish Russian set
tlement there was made by General Yermoloff
Commander-in-Ch Chief of the Caucasus, who sent
Captain Mouravieff on mission to the Khan of
Khiva." The Gazette concludes by expressing
the hope that "a new Lesseps may be found who
will employ the immense resources of Russian
industry in order to bring back the Amou-Darya
into its ancient bed, and thereby restore to life
the decayed towns and villages which formerly
existed on the banks of that great river"

pointed committee of twelve to attend Mr..
Peabody's funeral, and committee of three to
prepare q suitable memoir.

The Hon. S. s. Fisher, Commissioner OF
Patents, in his last annual report, says
that one of the most gratifying results OF
the restoration of peace and of the in
troduction of q new system of labor
in the South, is found in the increase OF
applications for patents from that part
OF the country. During the past year 46
patents were granted to citizens of Ala
bama II to those of Arkansas, to
Florida, Is to Georsia, Sc to Louisiana, So
to Mississippi, A to North Carolina "a to
South Carolina, 60 to Tennessee. - to
Texas, Sc to Virginia, and 81 to West
Virginia.
In the class OF agriculture, the examiner
reports that lin 1859 the number OF APP
plications from the South, as compared
with those from the North, was less than
two and a half per cent. OF the whole mum
Der. In 1869 the number OF applications
from the South was increased to over
twennty three per cent. OF ali the cases II
