THE REGENT DIAMOND.
d IL Acknowledged the Most Perfect
Brilliant In Existence.


The "Pitt" Tor "Regent," as 1t was
afterward called Is the most perfect
brilliant in existence, and its history Is
also very remarkable. 1t Is said to
have been found by slave In the Par

treasure cut a hole In the calf of his
leg, In which he concealed It, although
it is more probable be secreted 1t
among the bandages. The slave es
capped to the coast with his find. where
he encountered an English skipper,
whom he made his eontidant. offering,
indeed, to bestow upon him the stone in
return for his liberty. The mariner,
apparently consenting to the slaves
proposal, took him out to sea and when
there drowned him. after obtaining
possession of the diamond. Disposing
of the gem to diamond merchant for
$1,000, it is said the man afterward
hanged himself in fit of remorse.
Mr.. Pitt, governor of Fort st. George
and great grandfathe of the illustrious
William Pitt, became the next pos

41O carats, for 100000. He sent it to
London. where he had it very skillfully

have found his diamond no very envia-
BILE possession, for. after refuting the
calumnies of his enemies, who had
charged him with having obtained 1t
by unfair means, he was so haunted by
the fear of being robbed that he never
slept two nights consecutively under
the same roof. never gave notice of his
arrival in or departure from town and
went about mysterfously disguised. He

SCORPIONS AND FIRE.
The Poisonous Animals Are Particu-
larly Sensitive to Heat.

An interesting question has from
time to time been discussed by natu-
ralists and psychologists. as to whether
the scorpion commits suicide by sting
ing himself with his own venomous
dart. Experiments have often been
made, which consist in surrounding
the scorpion with Il circle of lire, usual
ly formed of small pieces of burning
Goals.
One may then see the animal agitate
his tail ia the air, waving his dart to
and fro over his head in a desperate
movement and finally fall dead. ap-
pearing to have decided that he could
not escape the flames and to have in
oculated himself with his own venom.
This idea is now, however, found to he
erroneous. as 1t has been proved that
the scorpion is not affected by his own
venomous fluid. and the hypothesis of
his suicide cannot be maintained. It
appears from later observations made
upon the death of the scorpion under
the conditions In question that a more
simple explanation is to be found.
