President Cleveland was in Philadel-

General Assembly of the Presbyterian
Church now in session there. The oc-
casion was worthy of his presence. In
his closing remarks he said: II am
here TO greet the delegates OF two Cen
eral Assemblies of the Presbyterian
Church. One is called NORTH and
the other South" The subject is too
deep and intricate for me, but cannot
help wondering why this should he.
These words, SO far as they denote sep
aration and eStrailgement, should be
obsolete. In the counsels of the nation
and in the business of the country
they no longer mean reproach and an
tagonism. Even the soldiers who
fought for the North and for the South
are restored to fraternity and unity.
This fraternity and unity is taught and
enjoyed by our Church. When shall
she herself be united with all the added
strength and usefulness that harmony

in convention assembled at Des Moines,
Ia, has placed in nomination beiva A

Burning the Diamond.

The ancients were as sure no diamonds
could be burned as they were that none
could be broken. Adamas, the indomit-
able, yielded neither to fire nor force.
1t was not till 1909 that De Boot sus-
pected its in1ammability, nor till 1878
that it was actually burned. In 1904
Avcrani and Targioni of Cimento, at the
instigation of Cosmo Ill, the grand
duke of Florence, burned the diamond
in the focus of concentrated sun rays,
where it was seen to crack, corruscate,
and finally disappear. They had tired
to learn the secret of its composition,
and, like a true martyr, it had persisted
unconfessed; it had burned itself out
like sun. Forty-four years after tho
death of Newton (who guessed tho dia-
mond to DO some "unctuous body
coagulated," perhaps the vegetable Sc
erection of the banyan tree, better to
shake than the Pagoda), magnificent
diamond was burned, on July 25,
l771, in the laboratory of M. Macquer,
and in the presence among Others of
we'll known Partisan jeweller, M. Lo
Blanc, who, notwithstanding what he
had just seen stood forward, and de-
clarcd the diamond to be indestructible
in the furnace, for that he had often
subjected stones of his own to intense
heat to rid them of blemishes, and that
they had never suffered the slightest
injury in the process Thercupon tho
two chemists, Arcet and Rouelle, de-
manded the experiment should be made
