HOW DIAMONDS MAY EXPLODE.
Cases in Which Only Ordinary Degree
of Heat Is Necessary.


1t has long been known that dia-
monds, especially the class known as
rose diamonds" are likely TO explode
if subjected only to what would seem
very ordinary degree of heat, such as
strong rays from the sun, etc. 1t is
now believed that the explosions are
the result of the rapid expansion of
certain volatile liquids inclosed in cavi-
ties near the center or these precious
stones. A great many diamonds, even
though cut, mounted and worn as gems
of perfection, are still in an unfinished
condition-that is, the liquid drop from
which the stone is being formed has
not as yet deposited all of its pure
crystals of carbon These movable
drops may occasionally be seen with
TIE naked eye.

Bishop Potter of the Episcopal

up to Morningside Heights to inspect
the work being done on the largest

COMPRESSED Air jays.

A Liverpool doctor has noted THAI
men working in a caisson are pecul-
iarly susceptible to the action OF slim
u%lants; in fact. a small portion of al
cohol sufices to intoxicate them. He
further noted that they were instan-
%taneously sobered on coming into the
open air. Putting the two ideas to-
gether he has hit upon a charming in
vention-a compressed air public

deliberately drunk and have a rollics-

single small Scotch, and walk out al
forwards. sobered instantly and auto

Tn. DpokiHawL,. Strategy.

The wild ducks, lot is not a happy
one, at least when a hawk has singled
1t out as It's prey. The'wild duck pos.
~isesses a large bump, Of curiosity, and
may at times be brought within shot
by taking advantage of this trait: but,
ordinarily. it is your wits against
theirs" and this is the great charm
OF the sport. It is exciting to watch
the duck hawk in pursuit Of his prey.
Given an open field with the quarry,
1t Is astonishing to witness the exhi-
bition of speed by these thorough
bred" racers. The hawk will often ov-
ertake and strike "a duck in the air,
though he seems to prefer to single out
n from some flock, and, IL possible,
force him to dive. AS the duck comes
to the surface to breathe, the hawk is
at hand. and down goes the duck once
more. This is repeated until the poor
duck is almost exhausted; and when
the duck passes a second too long at
the surface. the hawk pounces, and the
duck is secured. There is wonderful
sagacity shown by these birds in fore
ing a diving duck away from the reeds
into open water. They seem loath to
exert themselves sufficiently to capture
their game on the wing, but will dog
him." as II were, from the shadows to
deep water where In sheer despera-
ton the victim dives. fancylng that
one or two long reaches under water
VIII bring him within the shelter of
The reeds. Seldom. however, is he sue
cessful in the attempt; fea- and ex-
haustion generally end the matter as
the hawk wishes. A great many ducks
crippled by gunners will make for the
marshes, where they hide; and some
times IL fortunate and not too severely
wounded. they will recover. But even
here they are not safe; the prowling
fox or mink will strike their trail
among the sedge, and often catch them
when they venture too near the shore.
Out In the deeper parts of the marsh
ducks must exercise the greatest eau
ton when feeding; for when the dusk
OF evening settles down on lake and
fen. and the mystery OF the twilight
reigns. a most dangerous foe-the
"s~till-hunting owl"-comes from the
darkenlng woods, and on silent wing
the great bird quarters the marsh
backward and forward with the thor
oughness OF a well-trained hound.
Still-hunting Is the high art OF sport.
and the big owls are experts in their
way.-St. Nicholas.

the false confidence OF the nation that
let's 1t live to prey upon human lives.
The murderer OF the President came
from Nowak's saloon. The anarchists
OF the Chicago Haymarket massacre
came from the saloons, and when some

OF the country stood still while our

while with its red eyes 1t looked out
on the streets leering at the nation
that dares to trifie with its power.
Czolgosz loses his life as the penalty
OF his crime, but what of that? The
saloon is raising many children to
prove to those who have sold II the
right to live, while II robs the nations
of their rulers and wives of their hus-
bands. that II mocks at those that de-
ride its power. II avails little to hang
up efigies of the assassin. the child
