Diamonds.

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.

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 filled 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 handsome stroke of bust
ness by allowing responsible clients to
handle or carry i'll 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
tattened apex of conical block of steel,
and on 1T was brought down q 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 squeezed 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 Usel
of Commerce.
Tia Glove tree is a native of the Mo-
Iucca islands and belongs to the far.
spread family of myrt,cs. IL is a 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 profusiun, 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
commerce in dried state, under the
name of mother cloves It 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 number of small fila
ments, and the four points that sur
round the flower and form the flower
cup 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.

A YOUTHFUL EXEGETE.
His Interpretation of the Scriptures Was
Not Orthodox.

His Interpretation of the Scriptures Was
Not Orthodox.
Strange are the workings of the in
FAINT mind The little son of well
known naval officer stationed here has
advanced new version of an old text.
The wife's mother, who makes her
home with her daughter. is of the old
school, dear creature, with puffs and
caps, who reads her Bible from prefer
ence 1t is n custom for her to teach her
little grandson every day verse from
the Bible, and on Saturday of last week
the verse selected was:
Remember the Sabbath day to keep
it holy"
The child had unusual difficulty in
committing the verse, but, once mas
tered, it must have settled deep into
the very largest brain cell possessed by
the little fellow.
Sunday morning the youngster came,
fresh, white and starched, from his
nurses hands and was deposited on the
front porch until the family assembled
for church Emerging at the last mo-
ment, the mother was Mortified at the
sight Of her small offspring seated upon
the terrace, digging with all his might
into the moist ground.
Baby, baby, come here this minute.
Don't You know it is naughty to play
on Sunday and get yourself all dirt"
cried the mother.
The little fellow looked up with a
puzzled air and made answer, "Why,
muvver, dear, l is digging holes for
Sunday"
Digging holes for Sunday? What
nonsense! You bad, bad little son, " re-
turned the mother, none too gently,
trying to rescue the once immaculate
suit.
NOW, muvver, dear, did learn We
verse from grandma, and it was Re-
member We Sabbath day to keep it
holy, and / is only digging We holes for
Sunday to make it holy, and isn't a
bad little son at all. -
There was a suspicious trembling
about the mouth, but it is needless to
relate that the little philosopher was
caught in his mothers arms and kissed
before the cry developed and that he
was given two plates of dessert for his |
Sunday dinner, all because of his orig
inal theory. Washington Star.

Sir Walter Scott at least as much amuse-

his own name, and of which he was to
take half the profits Finally, ON his de-
Ginning the partnership, she suggested he
should take shares in medicine for
babies, her own invention. Dread of
participation in ''such a Herodlike
affair" drove Scott TO decline the honor
OF future correspondence with the lady.
On a March day in his fatal year,
1926, Sir Walter answered two modest
requests from widow ladies. One Of
these. presuming on former slight ac-
quaintance with his mother, desired
that he should impress ON Peel, then
home secretary, the merits of her second
son, whom he was to represent as ''fit
for any situation in a public Office. /"

rused "Marmion" and The Lady of

JOHNSON'S BOSWELL.
The Alleged Original Source Of Our
Knowledge of English Literature.

II
To some of us-I suspect, indeed, to
good many-Boswell represents the
original source not only of knowledge
| about johnson, but of our knowledge Of
| English literature in general He was
our introducer to the great anonymous
club formed by English men of letters
from the days when Shakespeare met
Ben Jonson to the days when Carlyle
discoursed to Froude We became men,
bers of the craft in spirit under Bos-
wells guidance, whether we have or
have not become actually identified
with it in the flesh. 1t therefore be-
comes next to impossible TO abstract
from Boswell-all our later knowledge
has been more or less migrated upon
him, however far we may have travelled
from the source Boswell gave the nu-
cleus, and more or less consciously we
have used his world as standard inev-
itably taken into account in all later
judgments. To suppose Boswell nonex-
istent is for such readers to suppose
kind of organic change in our whole es-
innate of literary characteristics.
When reading, especially about some
of the other famous takers, Coleridge's
monologues or Sydney Smiths explo-
sions of fun, find myself thinking how
they would have sounded at the Miter
or the Turks Head. Thanks to Boswell,
1 take the Johnsonian article to be
fixed datum like the official yard at the
Tower, and to be asked to put that out
of my head is TO be invited to deprive
myself of my only measuring rod. 1t is
exceedingly difficult, at any rate, to put
oneself outside of Boswell and to con-
strue portrait of johnson simply out
Of such other materials as are here put
together.
have read Hawkins and Mrs Piozzi |
and the rest, but always with the help |
of the preconceived notions Where |
they could be fitted into Boswell l have |
accepted them as corroborations, but |
when they differed have probably re-
jected the uncongenial elements with
perhaps a careless assumption that they
must be inaccurate, and yet it seems
only justice to these respectable persons
to consider whether we ought not to re-
open the point If Nine. D'Arblay saw
of Johnson which was not
revealed to Boswell, may we not discov-
er similar supplementary hints i'll the
other attempts at portraiture?-Leslie

A NEW WOMAN.
She's up TO date and strictly new.

She's up 70 date and strictly new,
And yet she's not afame with zeal.
She wears no skirt that's sewed in two,
She Is not skilled to ride wheel.
Her sex's wrongs she does not feel.
No public scheme her thoughts pursue,
And yet the fact i can't conceal,
She's very new.
Her souls ideals are scant and few,
Yet not by man is she controlled
And, though her eyes are deeply blue.
No occult force her glances hold.
She cares not for the days of old,
Nor does the future charm her view.
She does not work for fame or gold,
And yet she's new.
All homage at her shrine is due.
Her claim no mortal dares to scorn
She from the infinite takes her cue.
She's fresh as earth's primeval morn.
She faces life with powers unworn,
For, now TO prove my statements true,
It's scarce one moon since she was born.
You see, she's newt
