LIVING GEMS.
Diamonds Declared to Bt ffaBsss -
Enormously Active Atoms.

Diamonds Declared to h fEaB1es -
Enormous1y Active Atoms.
If You think your polished diamond
Is mere aggregation of inisnimate
crystals you are away wrong. If you
imagine that It's componerits are de-
void of orderly, coherent motion, you
are equally mistaken. It has come to
pass that we are given to understa nd
that diamonds are masses of active
molecules Inasmuch as every COM
pact body is composed of nlultitudes
Of exceedingly small, yet not iudis-
tinguishable moloa1leB. it might be
concluded that in q solid, at least,
these particles would be clustered to-
gether in an indivisible mass. This
theory as applied to dianeads is i'd
correct and has been completely over
thrown by the researches and expert
mentations of Sir Robert Bali Of Liv-
erpool. The facts set forth by Mr.. Bali
with reference to the structure Of the
diamond are fascinating. He asserts
that were the sensibility of our eyes
increased so as to make them a few
million times more powerful it would
be seen that the diamond atoms,
which forms the perfect gem when ag-
gregated in suffi cient myria1s, ara
each in condition of rap:d movement
of the most complex description
Each molecule would be seen swing
ing to and fro with the utm ost vio-
lenee among the neighboring mole
cules and quiveriug from the shocks
it receives from encounters with other
molecules, which occur millions OF
times in each second. The hardness
and impenetrability so characteristic
would at first sight seem to refute the
supposition that it is no more than a
cluster of rapidly moving particles;
but the well-known impenetrability
of the gem arises from the fact that,
when attempt is made to press a steel
point into a stone. it fails, because the
rapidly moving molecules of the stone
batter the metal with such extraor-
dinary vehemenc6 that they refuse to
allow it to penetrate or even to mark
the crystallized surface.

where suicide Was Excusable.

A beggar at Pesth, Hungary, who
was arrested for throwing himself
into the river with intentions of COM
mitting suicide, was discharged after
telling his remarkable story. He was
an aged and shriveled specimen of hui
manity, with long, patriarchal beard,
and acknowledged that he was past
"a years of age His excuse for at
tempting to take his own life was that
he was no longer able to take care OF
his father and mother, who were aged
I25 and 100 years respectively.

at Elsnknev, Lincolnshire. and was
laid in tho family tomb. This par
ticular Chaplin was naturalist, and.
among his other pets, had a large
gray bat. The bat was permitted to

alive along with the corpse of his
dead master. In 1866 the vault was
opened and to the surprise of all the
bat was alive and fat. On four dif-
ferent occasions since the Chaplin
family have looked after the welfare

bat was still in the land of the liv-

DIED OF A BROKEN HEART.
A Negro's Pathetic Grief Over the Death
OF His Wife.

A Negro's Pathetic Grief Over the Death
OF His Wife.
There recently died in Louisiana an
old negro woman named Aunt Harriet
Moore, who left to mourn her the
husband with whom she had lived
something over fifty years Uncle
Nuggie seemed brokenhaarted over
the loss, and it is thought finally had
his mind unsettled by his bereave-
ment. At any rate after Aunt Harriet
had been dead ard buried several
days her husband went by night to
. the cemetery AMI disipterred the re-
mains and carried them home again.
He was met on the road by man of
his own color, who, taking him for a
ghost, fed from him. He, however,
told what he had seen, AMI the neigh
bors went to Uncle Nugg.e's cab n and
found him engaged in rubbing the
feet of the corpse with mustard, and
trying to force down the rigid thro st
hot whisky and water.
The old man said he had been
warned in dream that his wife was
only in trance, and that if he would
fetch her home and use measures to
revive her she woald come to life
again. His grief when the body was
again taken from him was pitiful, and
he seemed unable to attend the
second burial. But, as the coffin was
being lowered into the grave, Uncle
Nuggie suld,n;y appeared, and,
breaking through the party about the
grave, threw himself into the hollow
on the cas'1et. He was gotten out
with all speed, but he Was found to be
quite dead though NO :ujury to him
was visible, AMI the verdict given by
physicians is that the oil man died in
the act of eesti,:g himself down Of
heart failure, or, in other words, liter
ally of broken heart

The sspaFa-tornadoes." or tornado
destroyer, Is the name of . machine
or contrivance which may well take
rank as one OF the most ambitious
inventions of the age. The power OF
this new weapon against terrific
enemy has not been tested yet First,
because it has been scarce a month
since the brain of its inventor de-
signed it, and, second, because there
have been no torna3oes available in
his locality to destroy.
1t is the invention of Eugene Tur-
pin, a man recently released from a
French prison. He says Lieutenant
Fiudlay, of the United States weather
bureau, confirms Fare, or at least
he declares that nearly oil tornadoes
are formed in the upper layers OF
atmosphere.
The records OF the United States
weather bureau show that the tor
nadoes in America always travel
This being established, it is com
paratively easy to face the enemy,
because you know from just what
direction he Will come
The dangerous extent is only an
eighth of the points of the compass,
says the Kansas City Journal, that
is, if you protect town on its south
west boundary for one eighth of its
circumference it will be tornado
proof.
1t is a well known fact that water
spout at sea collapses instantly if a
heavy gun is fired. This is so well
understood that nearly all ships in
tropical latitudes cary cannon for
this purpose. A tornado on land,
which is a phenomenon of the same
nature. can be dissipated in the same
way.
His plan in nutshell, then, is to
establish aerial torpedoes, fixed on
high towers. and, like the electric
ght towers used in some American
cities, and so placed that the explo-
sion can only take place by auto
matte action of the tornado itself.
1.-The apparatus which l have de-
signed, and patented a few days ago,
is so constructed that wind of tor
nado intensity will by simple mo
chanical means discharge the power
full explosive with which the maga
zine is loaded.
81 am acquainted with explosives
and 1 do not exaggera when I say
that the apparatus which / have in
mind will keep in perfect working
order without attention for about a
century. | should use about 20J
pounds of the most powerful explo-
sive in each tower. or pylone. The
explosion would develope an immense
amount OF gas under enormous pres
sure, quite capable of destroying
any tornado in it's vicinity. At the
same time the explosion taking place
120 feet or higher in the air would
do no damage to buildings or other
property lower down.
The number of these towers or
para-tornadoes necessary would de-
pend upon the area or Importance OF
the town or buildings to be protected.
To furnish absolute protection it
would be necessary to place them
from fifty to 1O) yards apart-the
minimum width of the path of tor,
nado-within the dangerous octant.
Take, for instance, town three miles
in diameter. The dangerous octant
would be about mile along its
southwest tbOrder. l would place
sixty para -tornadoes in four rows
along that section of the c1rcumfer-
ence. That would represent an ex-
pense of about $50, )00.

Jeanesville Made the Game an
Interesting One.
TIE SCORE A CLOSE ONE.
Shenandoah Started Out with Rush,
But the Visitors Put on Check and
Become Dangerous-There Were a Num-
ber of Close Decisions.

The Jeanesville and home base ball
teams met at the Trotting park yesterday
afternoon before a good-sized crowd of
spectators and for nearly two hours strug-
gled for supremacy. Shenandoah took a
decided lead in the second inning, but
iafter that failed to score and the team
was kept busy trying to hold the visitors
down and preventing them from tieing
the score or taking a lead.
The game was pretty good one and the
pitchers of both sides did we'll Setiey
made his temperance in the box for
Shenandoah and showed that his arm is
not as bad as some people supposed it was.
Harris, the new catcher, made his first
appearance with good elect. He is a
hard worker
There were several close decisions in the
game and the Jeanesvilles were inclined to
scrap over them, but fortunately there
were one or two level-headed men among
them who succeeded in keeping the game
going.
Shultz, the pitcher who was injured in
the game with Ashland, made his re APP
pearance on the diamond, and Bancroft,
of Ashland played with the home team.
In the eighth inning the visitors got dan
gerously close to the home club by in
creasing their score to seven runs and
when the home team failed to score in the
first half of the ninth inning the specta-
tors prepared themselves to witness a
grand wind up by the Jeanesvilles, but it
failed to materialize, although four of
their hardest hitters were at the bat
Miller succeeded in getting on first base
through an error by Mulderig, but was
put out on second on Shultz's throw in to
Toman and no others got on bases.
There were no brilliant features in the
game, but the contest was of kind that
held the interest of the spectators and
kept them in doubt as to which side would
win until the last batter was declared out.
