THE GLOVE TREE.

How the Buds Are Prepared For the UseA
of Commerce.
The Glove tree is a native Of the Mo-
lucca islands and belongs to the far
spread family Of myrtles. 1t is a tall,
very handsome evergreen, with ovate,
.oblong leaves and purplish flowers, or
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
commerce in a dried state, under the
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 tht
cloves are to great degree dissipated.
Cloves consist of two parts, a roun(
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 flowe
cup of the unripe seed vessel. Whel
they are soaked for short time in no
water, the flowers soften and readil!
unroll, so that all Of the parts may b
seen.
The entire Glove tree is highly arc
E4atic, and the foot stalks of the leave
have nearly the same punRent qualit!
as the calyx of the flower. .-Philadel

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-
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 filled with gaa
at an enormous pressure, and the strain
which is set up in the stone by the ef-
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 il
reaches the surface, and some have been
known to burst in the pockets of the
miners or when held in tho 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 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 dia-
mond could actually be too hard. From
a rich yield of beautifully white dia-
monds in New South Wales great things
were expected. When parcel Of many
hundred carnts came to England, it was
found they were so hard as to be praG-
tically unworkable 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. second
cone of steel. AS these cones were forced
together by hydraulic power the image
OF tho diamond and the steel faces Of
tho 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.

JoHNsoN's BOSWELL.
The Alleged Original Source of Our
knowledge OF English Literature.

The Alleged Original Source of Our
knowledge OF English Literature.
To some of us--,I suspect, indeed, to
a 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 OF
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 OF less ingrafted 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 a standard inev-
itably taken into account in all later
Judgments. To suppose Boswell nonex-
istent is for such readers to suppose a
kind Of organic change in our whole es-
innate Of literary characteristics.
When reading, especially about some
Of the other famous takers, Coleridge's 8
monologues or Sydney Smiths explo-
sions Of fun, / find myself thinking how
they would have sounded at the Miter
or the Turk g Head. Thanks to Boswell,
take the Johnsonian article to be o
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 a portrait of johnson simply out
of such other materials az are here put
together.
have read Hawkins and Mrs. Piozzi
and the rest, but always with the help
of the preoonceived notions. Where
they could be fitted into Boswell have
accepted them as corroborations, but
when they differed have probably re-
jeoted the uncongenial elements with
perhaps 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

refusing to give satisfactory accounts
of himself. This strengthened the
suspicion against him. and even when
he Vas allowed to go it was with

he had done something to make him
fearful of the law. He confessed that
while he was a miner and laborer he
was something of a tramp, and he
said that he had never been in North

A Large Contract.

d. H. Bacon, president of the Min
nesota Iron company, was in Duluth
Friday and in a recent interview by
the Herald said: Bids for doing $780,
600 yards of stripping near No. 3 shaft
at the Fayal mine EYeleth. have been
opened and that the figures of Drake
& Stratton we're the lowest. The
contract will accordingly be let to
this firm and work will begin at once.
E. B. Hawkins. manager for Drake &
Stratton were the lowest. The con-
tract will accordingly be let to this
firm and work will begin at once.
E. B. Hawkins, manager for Drake &
Stratton, has gone to Chicago to pur-
chuse an outfit.
CThis large amount of stripping is to
be done that a big body of Fayal ore
lying near the surface can be mined
by the milling process. Twenty feet
of earth overs the ore, and Mr..
Bacon said it was hoped SOC, 900 tons
of it would be taken out next season
in addition to that mined from the
regular underground shafts. The in
tention is to greatly increase the out
put of the Fayal next year, but the
amount mined will depend largely on
the ability Of the company to secure
men. Men are very scarce now: and
many more could be used to excellent
advantage. Monday night, for in
stance, only ~eighty-three men went
down in No. l shaft, when a full crew
consists of $50. Laborers who went
west to work in the harvest fields are
beginning to return, but few of them
have found their way to the mines
although the crews on the railroad
are beginning to fill up.
