Professor Crookes, in his recent re-
markable lecture on diamonds, men
toned some interesting facts concerning
that always popular subject When in
examining diamonds under polarized
light the black cross Of the polarizer re-
wolves around a particular spot in the in
side of the crystal and the point is exam
ined with high power, slight flaw and
more rarely minute cavity are some
times seen. This cavity is filed with gas
at an enormous pressure, and the strain
which is set up in the stone by the eff
fort of the gas to escape is not infre-
quently removed only by the explosion
Of the gem. 1t is not at all uncommon
for a diamond to explode soon after it
reaches the surface, and some have been
known to burst in the pockets of the
miners or when held in the warm hand.
Large crystals are more liable to burst
than smaller pieces. Valuable stones
have been destroyed in this way, and it
is whispered that cunning dealers have
often done a handsome stroke Of bust
ness by allowing responsible clients to
handle or carry in their warm pockets
large crystals fresh from the mine. By
way of safeguard against explosion some
dealers embed large diamonds in raw
potatoes to insure safe transit on the
ocean voyage.
Professor Crookes showed that a dia-
mond could actually be too hard From
rich yield of beautifully white dia-
monds i'll New South Wales great things
were expected. When a parcel Of many
hundred carats came to England, it was
found they were so hard as to be prac-
tically unavoidable as gems, and they
were ultimately sold for rock boring
purposes. The intense hardness of the
diamond was illustrated by an expert
ment. The diamond was placed on the
flattened apex Of conical block of steel,
and on it was brought down a second
cone of steel. AS these cones were forced
together by hydraulic power the image
of the diamond and the steel faces of
the cones were projected on the screen
with an electric lantern. The stone was
seen to be sC7eezed right into the steel
blocks without being injured in the
slightest degree.

THE GLOVE TREE.
How the Buds Are Prepared For the Uses
of Commerce.

How the Buds Are Prepared For the Uses
of Commerce.
The Glove tree is native Of the Mo-
lucca islands and belongs to the far
spread family Of myrtles. 1t is tall,
very handsome evergreen, with ovate,
oblong leaves and purplish flowers, ar
ranged in corymbs on short jointed
stalks The flowers are produced in
great profusion, and when they appear,
which is at the beginning of the rainy
season, they are in the form of elongat-
ed, greenish buds. These unexpanded
buds are the cloves of commerce, which
derive their name from the Spanish
word clavo, "a nail, so called from
the real or fancied resemblance of the
bud to a nail.
Sometimes the Glove fruit appears in
name of mother cloves. " 1t has an
odor and flavor similar to cloves, but is
much weaker
The flower buds are beaten from the
tree and are dried by the smoke of wood
fires and afterward by the sun. If the
buds remain on the trees, the calices
gradually swell, the embryo seeds en-
large and the pungent properties of the
cloves are to great degree dissipated.
Cloves consist of two parts, round
head, which is, in fact, the flower rolled
up, inclosing a number of small Ala
ments, and the four points that sur
round the flower and form the flower
GID of the unripe seed vessel When
they are soaked for short time in hot
water, the flowers soften and readily
unroll, SO that all of the parts may be
seen.
The entire Glove tree is highly aro-
matte, and the foot stalks of the leaves
have nearly the same pungent quality
as the calyx of the flower. -Philadel-

LimbIess Cotton,

An interesting sight at Opelika, Ala,
is patch of "limbless" cotton. The
plants are from five to seven feet high
and have no limbs or branches at all.
The hollis form on little twigs two and
three inches long, and when in bloom
the stalk presents the appearance Of a
white column. A crop Of about four
bales to the acre is what is expected I'M

in laying the new Nile railway, saw
some remarkable mirages. From a dis

in a beautiful lake, and on all sides
were to be seen lakes, beautifully wood

looked at through fieldglasses the illu-

The board of public works held a
lively session last night, discussing the
ACCESSIBILITY of changing the form OF
contracts for all public work. Mr..
Alidgley desired to have the contracts
so amended as to dc away with the
present custom of bidding on separate
items based upon the city engineers
estimate. under n contract. In other
words, Nh. Midgley contended that a
more just way would be to solicit bids
for a contract as a whole, alleging
that now the city engineer can easily
show favoritiSm to certain contract
or-.
The question is OF considerable i'm
portance and has been under consider
alton by the board before. During the
Kelsey hearing Contractor WiIkerson
demonstrated how, under the present
form of bidding, the lowest bid might
be the highest before the completion
of the contract. Experience has shown
that in a number of instances by rea-
son of inaccurate estimates on GER
tain items of worq the city has paid
more by accepting the lowest bid than
it would have by accepting the high
est.
1t was to avoid this hat Mr.. Midgley
wanted the method of bidding changed.
The proposed change. however, was
defeated by a tie vote, Midgley and
Goliath favoring it and Captain
Downey and Judge Marshall opposing
L.
a few claims and final estimates were
allowed, after which the board ad-
journed until Wednesday.

Nearly Half of the Four Hundred
Delegates Already at Indian
aPolis.

Indianapolis, Jan. 1.-THE hotel cor
ridors tonight present much the game
appearance as on the V Of a ma
tional political convention. Delegates
with badges of the monetary confer
ence pinned to their coats push in and
out of the crowds that thronged the
Hobbies. Men gathered in groups, earn
estly discussing the problems that they
have come here to help solve. In
stead of professional politicians, how
ever, those present are heads of COM
mercial houses, merchants, manufac-
turers, importers, railroad presidents
and bankers-men of Importance and
high standing in the communities
which they represent. Boards OF
trade and chambers of commerce in
200 cities have appointed delegates.
Nearly half of the 400 delegates who
are expected have arrived. The gather
ing is nOn-partisan. There is 10 cut
and dried programme, and no man can
tell what Will be the outcome of the
deliberations, which Will he begun to-
morrow and continue two or three
days.

ury: Congress Walker Of the house

The %concensus of opinion among the
delegates who are here is that it will
be impossible to digest the whole sub
ject of currency reform during the
time of the present convention, and
that the wisest plan Will be to make a
declaration of general principles and
appoint a committee TO formulate an

New York, JAN. ia Herald Wash-
ington special says;
Secretary Olney, in an indirect man
ner. has rebuked Ambassador Bayard
for the political speeches that the dip
lomat made in Great Britain.
The state department recently re-
vised the diplomatic regulations ana
Secretary Olney took advantage 10
write a provision and insert 1t IN the
regulations prohibiting speeches upon
the political matters by diplomatic rep
resentatiVes of n United States.
Secretary Olney was moved TO TINS
action, it is said, as a result OF Am
bassador Bayard's speeches in En-
gland. The secretary of state has al
ways depIored Mr.. Bayard's manner OF
so freely discussing political matters,
and il is even said that if he had been
given authority in the premises he
would have instructed the United
States representative in London not
u speak in public in regard to poll
tics.
President Cleveland. however, has
always been friendly to Ambassador
Bayard and he did not care to wound
that officials feelings by directly rep-
rimanding him. He, therefore, declined
to take any action whatever. Secre-
tary Olney still had a chance to show
his ~displeasure, and he showed it when
the diplomatic regulations were re-
vised.
The old regulations contained a para
graph politely intimating to muembers
of the diplomatic corps of h United
States that it was not desirable for
them to publicly refer TO political mat
tiers, and with the exception of Ambas-
sador Bayard they have obeyed the in
timation. The new regulations prohibit
speaking on political subjects. The re-
vised regulations were laid before the
president and his attention was specii-
cally drawn to this paragraph. He de-
clined TO change it, however, and tits
not believed Ambassador BaYard or
any other official will, in the future,
Gare TO violate so rigid an instruction
Of the department.

New York, Jan. ia Herald special
from Charlottesville, Fla, says: Be
cause of d woman, John and David
WARTS fought a duel TO the death
near here Saturday. The men were
brothers, and the woman in the case
was h wife of David WARTS, who
married her during Christmas week.
1t seems that the girl had been en-
gagged to marry John WARTS, but,
without giving q reason, she Tilted him
a week later and welded David War
ris. Recently, John Warris learned
that the girl had been told slanderous
stories concerning him by his brother
David. For this reason, the young
oma Tilted John and out of piQue a
few days later married David.
John WARTS saw his brothers wife
yesterday morning and related the
story of her husbands duplicity. She
was greatly enraged by the recital and
both agreed hal David should be pun
ished for his treachery. The woman
told John he must fight David and kill
him. The couple separated and in the
afternoon John went to DaVid'S home
and charged him with treachery.
David did not deny the story, and
John then insisted that n or the other
must die.
Mrs. WARTS also denounced her hus-
band and insisted that he must fight
John. David consented, and the two
brothers went TO the yard, revolvers in
hand, and faced each other at ten
PAGES. Mrs. WARTS looking on from the
veranda.
John gave the signal to fire and the
pistols cracked simultaneously, but
neither was hit. At the second ex-
change of shots both men were slight
ly wounded. AT the third exchange
John WARTS right arm was shattered,
but he took his pistol in his left hand
and insisted that the duel be continued.
a fourth exchange of shots followed and
David WARTS fell dead with a bullet
through his brain and John received a
third wound, which may prove fatal.
Seeing that her husband was dead
and her brother-in-law badly wounded,
Mrs. WARTS sent for a physician, to
whom she told the story of the duel.
She seemed to think that her husband
received only justice, and that she and
John WARTS acted properly.
John WARTS is badly wounded. He
is closely guarded and will be removed
to Jail if he RECEIVERS. Mrs. WARTS
nay also be arrested.

striking evidence of the underlying
sympathy of the nations.
The Chronicle describes the signing
of the treaty as "the event of the nine
teenth century" 1t warmly c%ongratu-
lates Sir Julian Pauncefote, the British
ambassador, and says:
Seldom has any diplomat had a task
that made sterner demands on all the
resources of his art. Never has a dip
lomat faced difficulties and overcome
them with greater skill and persist
ence. The British people owe him their
heartfelt thanks. We hope hat the
first occasion will be taken to mark her
majeStys approval of his conduct. We
trust, also, that the American people
Will recognize how faithfully and stead
lastly President Cleveland and Mr..
Olney V served the common cause of
humanity and peace.
Great Britain and the United States
present to the civilized world an in
spring example of the greatest effort
made since the world began to inaug-
urate the reign of universal peace"
The Times will say: 1T is difficult
to believe that the senate will go out
of its way to defeat a policy hat has
obtained a decided and unusual degree
of approval among the American peo-
pie. II it should not ratify the treaty,
the nation will naturally ask why the
principle asserted by both houses of
congress six years ago has been ig-
nored when the opportunity was pre-
sented for applying it Oh g great scale"

Doster's Famous Theory.

Chicago, Jan. ia Topeka, Kan,
special TO a morning paper says:
Chief Justice Frank Doster who will
be indicted into office today will en-
deavor to enact his famous campaign
theory into law. He declared upon the
stump that "the rights of the user are
paramount TO the rights of the owner"
Judge DOster's law partner, Henry
Mclean. has drafted a remarkable bill,
which will be introduced early in the
session. 1t will provide that no one
shall " more land than a home
stead if any other person desires to
purchase any additional tracts of land.
For example, Farmer Jones owns and
lives on a farm and is also owner of
another farm which he rents. Farmer
Smith who has no homestead can go to
Jones and make him a tender of a
reasonable sum of money for the ad-
ditional tract of land. If Jones de-
clines Smiths tender, Smith can go
into the courts n the jury will fix
the price. which if below he sum ten
dered then Jones must pay the costs.
If more, then Smith pays the costs of
the suit.
This bill, if it becomes a law, will
absolutely prevent the ownership of
large tracts of LAND by one individual
and will result in endless litigation.
