As Hard as the Diamond.

The diamond has always been regarlc
as possessing one quality which placed
beyond riyalry-namely, that of hardness.
There are several gems which Compel
with it in beauty, and at least one, tn
ruby, when of rare size and quality, out
ranks it in costlincss. But none in til
whole list equals it in hardness.
Diamond cut diamond has becom
popular saying. The hardest steel canno
equal the diamond in that respect. Tn
diamond, says a recent authoritative text
book of chemistry, sis the hardest form O
matter known"
But science progresses, and if nature ha
set aside for her king of gems the distinc
ton of unparalleled hardness the art O
man has not been equally considerat;
There are at least two products of chem
cal experiment which have proved, accord
ing to the great French chemist, Hem
Moissan, to be rs hard rs diamonds
These are produced from the rare meta
titanium. NJ. Moissan has succeeded i.
preparing titanium in the electric furnace
In tho pure form it is harder than steel O
quartz, and when combined with silicon O
boron, SO as to form silicdc or boride O
titanium, it matches the diamond itself il
hardness.
Titanium resembles tin in its chemica
properties, and it is the characteristic Gle
ment in the beautiful red and brown crys
tails of rutile. These, in the shape of nee
dies, are sometimes found penetrating
large white quartz crystals, forming gem
that the French call "love's arrows. -

BENEFIT OF THEIR QUEEN.
\ Colony Of Ants Perturbed For Tines
The Guard Under Arrest.

An observer of nature sitting on one OF
the seats in Central park one spring day
was wondering why across the rubbly as
phalt path there was such migration OF
these big black headed ants which are Il
be found here and there about the park
little predatory fellows which seize the
moth or butterfly that, just emerging
from its larval winter home, wants K
climb up some kindly twig, grow its wings
and then fly whittier it listeth.
The cause of all the parade was soon ap
parent. There was to be new colony
formed, and great brown ant, queen
five times as big as any OF her subjects
was being drawn across the path by 1
guard of honor. A new home was to b.
established to relieve the overpopulate6
nest that had been the ants domicile al
through the winter.
The observer, without in any way lnJur
ing the queen, captured her, and ther
there was the most tremendous commotioi
among the ants. The queen was carefully
housed in a small cone of paper, and ther
all attention was given to the ants, tn,
workers. A nation which had lest its rul
er could not have appeared more distressed
than were those little creatures. The new;
spread with incredible quickness that the
queen of the new colony had been purloin
ed-had vanished. Her guard of q score o
soldiers, some three of whom at least BIZ
the Observers fingers savagcly, were al
apparently placed under arrest and thu
ground was soon black with ants. Thos,
from the old homestead were aiding th'
new colony to find their missing queer
and were scurrying around everywhere
touching antcnnp. and when no definite
news could be given rushing off again IL
search of the missing ruler.
After short time the queen, so egg Ia
den tn she could not move, was PLACED
on the path, and in a second aftcrwar
one of the scouts discovered her. The scout
appeared really to make an obeisance to
her. He had an interview of q moment
and then scuttled off to find his comradc
to tell the good news and to get a cohor,
of soldiers to take the good lady home
Soon there was a perfect regiment of anti
around her, and she was carried to small
hole under the root of u privet, where NJ
doubt the new home had been delved out
in preparation for her arrival. A small
tribute to this little glimpse into natures
life was paid by getting some Jumps o
sugar, softencd with water. They wer,
placed near the new colony. They were
soon found, and the little follows wer,
busy until shutdown in taking down tn,
tiny crystals they Clipped off the rocks
they were rocks to them-to ill their store

An Unlucky Reporter.

A Belgian paper tells a funny story of q
reporter of an Antwerp journal who was
sent by his editor to Brussels to take down
report of the kings speech. In order
that the report should come back very
quickly the editor gave him two carrier
pigeons, trained to fly between the two
cities, by which he should send back his
message. When the reporter reached the
capital, he went into restaurant and
handing his pigeons to a waiter ordered
his luncheon. He was kept waiting long
time, but finally a delicious stew was
served, which he enjoyed. When he had
finished, he called for his bill, settled it
and then asked for his pigeons. s.Pi-
geons!" cried the waiter in great astonish-
ment. why, you have just eaten them. y
