Diamonds That Are Safe.

Extremely valuable diamonds are al
most perfectly safe property. A gen
tleman who possessed one valued at
$50, 000 passed it freely from hand to
hand in a large commercial establish
ment, and even allowed man whom
he knew nothing about to take it out
of the room
Il should think you would be afraid
that it would be stolen" some one
said.
The owner Of the diamond smiled.
Its value is its protection, " he said.
"A thief, in order to realize ANYTHING
upon that diamond, would have to take
it to large dealer, and the diamond il
perfectly well known to every such
dealer in America or Europe. 1t would
be recognized and held at once"
but could not the thief have it cut
up into small diamonds, and sold in
that way
ITO be cut it would have to go either
to Amsterdam or to one of two or
three men in America In either case
it would be found registered, with nv
name as its owner. 1t would be of no
more real value to the thief than a
lump of coal. Youths Companion.

In regard to the much discussed
question as to the rapidity with which
Il locomotive can run, some interesting
official figures have been given by Mr.
Stretton, an eminent English engineer,
showing briefly that the highest speed
ever accurately taken was with a Bris
toll and Exeter broad gauge engine,
having nine foot wheels, and which
was, as long ago as 1853, officially
timed at speed of just over eighty
miles an hour for a short distance, this
occurring in the case of falling grad
tent and with a light load.
He also distinctly asserts that this
speed is the maximum that can posi-
bly, be obtained with locomotives of the
present type, the cause of this being,
he declares, that at such a speed as
that the resistance of the air, the back
pressure in the cylinders and the fric
ton altogether have become so great
that they absorb the whole power oil

wrong side of the piston becomes great

haust steam cannot be got out of the

DR. Francis Bowling, in a paper
which lie read at a recent meeting OF
the Cincinnati Academy of Medicine,
stated that between the ages of 10
and 40 at least one person in three is
subject TO partial deafness. The great
majority Of eases OF impaired hearing
are hereditary, and are largely owing
to too close eonsaHsuinity of the pa
rents Deafness is more prevalent
among males than among females,
owing to the fact that the male is more
exposed to the vicissitudes of climate.
There is much more deafness in Amer
lea than in Europe, and this is due to
a more general use of scientific instru
ments. such as telephones, where one
ear is used to the exclusion of the other.

was an orator of such note that he was
chosen valedictorian Of his class. He

noon of the great day the shoes came
But, good heavens they wouldn't go

use. He summoned the shoemaker to
a conference, and, while the perspira

the situation
That's nothin.-.. ,a'd Crispin; get

A FREE CHURCH EXPERIMENT.
The Conspicuous Success which noS''"
Congregation Has Achieved

CONGREGATION
When. nearly three years ago, the
Berkeley Street Congregational church
in this city, made its pews free IN
creased its pastoral force from one man
to three. opened its doors from SUNDAY
Morning until Saturday night, and IN
aupurated various lines OF praceica'
Christian et.deavor, it was new dc
narture in church activity such as tlls
citv had never seen before on so large
n scale. The movement had behind 1t,
also, the support of several SISTER
churches, not so well situated for the
prosecution of peoples work, and OF
the Massachusetts Home Missionary
society.
The enterprise has now passed
through the critical and trying perlod
of its history, and seems to be on a
nermauent basis. 1t has had, of course,
to feel its way into the heart of the
problem of city evangelization; it has
/ encountered difficulties and discourage
! ments: but it has gone steadily on to
larger successes, and commands today
the respect and the confidence of the
entire Congregational denomination.
Comparatively few of the Christian
people in this city even realize what a
large and varied work is prosecuted at
Berkeley temple Glasses in dress
making, bookkeeping, painting, elocu
ton and stenography, reading rooms
and young mems debating clubs, tenn
perance guilds, Chinese Sunday school
these are some of the special features.
