AN ILL-LUCK DIAMOND.

Superstitious persons now claim that
the misfortunes which have befallen Mr..
Kruger, the former president Of the
Trarsvaal. during the last few years
were in a large measure due TO a dia-
mond. and here are the reasons why
they are OF this opinion.
Chaka. a famous Zulu chief. was the
first owner of this diamond. and after
his death by assassination it passed
into the hands Of the assassin, who was
his own brother. Soon afterward this
brother was in turn assassinated by an
other chief of the tribe. and in this way
the precious stone changed hands again.
II was destined. however. not to remain
long in the hands of any Zulu. for the
records show that within a few wears
IL became the property OF fifteen chiefs,
each of whom held power for a short
time and then was killed by some an
bilious rival. The stone was then in

COlOrS of Flowers.

Some interesting statistics in regard to
the colors OF flowers were recently com
piled by German scientist. According
70 him, out Of 1000 species of flowers
2s4 are white. 223 yellow. 220 red. IA
blue, 70 violet, SO green. II orange. 4
brown. and black. Furthermore. be
says that only one species out OF every
10 has any perfume. Among white flow
ers 10 out of every 100 species have per
fume. among red flowers 8, among green
8. among yellow and violet. each l.,
among orange and brown, each 6, and
among black flowers. none.
At first glance these figures seem to
be complete, but anyone who takes the
trouble TO add those which are given IA
gard to the colors OF flowers will find
that the total amounts TO 99T and not TO
600. Consequently IT is evident that in
every 1 900 species there are three which
must be of some extraordinary color,
since they are neither white nor yellow
nor red nor blue nor violet nor green nor
orange nor brown nor black

prominent Zulus, whose duty was to

Meanwhile the Beers had heard OF this
wonderful diamond. and with the object

Zulus were killed, but the diamond was
saved by a Zulu. who hid 1t in a gap
ing wound which had been made by a
ball from a musket. The Beers. there
fore, did not get it on that occasion. but
soon afterward they did. for they cap
tured the Zulu who had hidden it. and
as President Kruger promptly set him
at liberty he presented him with the
diamond as a token of his gratitude.
No one knows whether Dom Paul
still has the diamond or not. Whoever
has II is the possessor of a beautiful
and costly stone, for IL weighs over coo

Watch of Charles |.

The original watch carried by Charles
l has found it's way recently to Phila-
delphia. The famous timepiece was car
ried by Cromwell himself for years. It
is at present the property of Wilfres
Powell, the British consul at PhiIadel
phia. The royal watch, which still ticks
after career, of 262 years. was made in
1850 for King Charles 1 by the royal
matchmaker of that time.
1t is of the oldest pattern. having
been made entirely by hand and costing
in its day a coed round sum OF money.
The case is of solid silver, ornamented
in beautiful pierced hligree work. The
outer case is made of copper, with a
handsome leather cover, silver studded.
The royal watch runs thirty-six hours

used to designate the time. There is &

An Odd Mirror.

Here is a glass which apparently can
be used either as mirror or window
Il resembles a mirror because it has the
ordinary silvered surface. yet it is unlike
a mirror because 1t is transparent On
the back OF the transparent or translu-
cent plate is a coating. which consists Of
q silvering material. amyl acetate, gun
cotton, and fusel oil. This coating is
also transparent or translucent. and by
means Of it the plate is made reflective
Thus the glass, while retaining its trans
parency, possesses all the reflective
properties of a mirror.
