Valuable Crystals Made in Laboratory
Of Prof. Moissan.
The art of making diamonds has
been given a step forward through a
study of the diamond-bearing meteoric
iron of Canon Diablo. In section of
this famous meteorite Prof. Meissan
has found numerous diamonds-both
black and transparent-togethe with
graphite and phosphorus and sulphur
combined with iron. He has also
made experiments to determine the
effect of silicon, sulphur, and phos-
phorus. Iron was fused with a large
mass of sugar in a crucible in an cleo
trio furnace. A soon as the molten
iron had become saturated with car
bon-partly from the sugar-a small
proportion of iron sulphide was intro
6uced, and the crucible was plunged
into cold water. With rapid cooling
as an essential, the carbon crystal
Hzed out from the center of the mass
The iron sulphide considerably in
creased the yield of diamond crystals,
as did also the silicon, but phosphorus
had no inf1uence.-Science Siftings.

GUN LOADED FOR A WITCH
Charge Consisted Of shIIIings, Wadded
With Bible Leaves.

Nicholas Vadderman, a retired farm
er OF Angora, has come into possess
sion or what he believes is a relic of
the days when superstition and belief
in witchcraft was general. This is an
old fifntlock musket which contained
"a charge evidently prepared for the ex-
ecution of q witch. Yedderman, who,
devotes his time to the collection of
curios, purchased the musket at an
auction sale held in an old farmhouse,
recently. From its appearance the
weapon antedated the revolutionary
war, and when found was in a deplor-
able state of rust In cleaning it We'd
derman discovered that there was a
charge in the gun, and this he care
fully withdrew. To his surprise, he
found instead of bullets, two silver
shillings, dated 1871, tightly wadded
with leaves from a Bible of ancient
print. Beneath the shilling was a
small lock of hair and piece of paper
containing an illegible quotation. The
gunpowder wasfcoarse and undoubted-

things, says it was by firing such
charmed charges that the supersti-

Popular Author Comforted Dying
Sailor in Hospital.
pretty story about a popular
author was told the other day. A
nurse in an American hospital had as
patient a sailor who was a great suf-
ferer and not expected to live many
days. The poor man worried a great
deal because he thought there would
be no sea in heaven. To him the pros
pect of playing on a golden fiddle Of
Tered no attraction. AS the priest had
failed to comfort him, it occurred to
the nurse that it might benefit her
patient If she could get Mr.. Rudyard
Kipling to come and talk a little to
him, and as he happened to be visit
ing the hospital at the time, Mr.. Kip
ling willingly acceded to her request.
He said few words to the dying man
and apparently gave him much COM
fort. A few days afterward Mr.. Kip
ling sent in his own handwriting q
copy of the poem, 1.-The Last Chantey,"
which the conversation with the sailor
had inspired. The dying man was so
delighted with it that he expressed
wish for it to be placed in his coffin,
and the nurse duly carried out his
wish If Mr.. Kipling's reward for his
kind action came in the inspiration he
obtained, Shakespeare's well-known
description of mercy-tIt blesseth him

Velvet chrxsanthemums.


Select velvet ribbon, second size, in
the desired color, and if possible with
different shadings of the color, to be
as natural as possible. Cut the ribbon
into five pieces two and a half inches
long; fold each piece of ribbon in half
and gather the five pieces together
fastening the Joined ends firmly by a
wire The loose ends should be cut in
a point Now cut ten pieces three
and half inches long. Fold as be-
fore and fasten them around the CEN
ter petals. Add as many more petals
as necessary, making each succeed
ing row a trif1e longer than the
last, until the flower is large enough.
If the flower is to have the stiff ap-
pearance of the real chrysanthemum,
double pieces of velvet must be used
for each petal and fine wire thrust
between the two ribbons. The satin
side of the petal is lightly covered
with photographers paste, a wire laid
down the center, and the upper rib
bon firmly pressed on it, velvet side
up, of course. Before the paste has
quite dried, run the ribbon up on the
wire. thus getting that crinkly effect
of the chrysanthemum. Only a few
of the petals need to be treated in this
way to gain a stiff effect Narrow
liberty satin ribbon in the desired
shades is effective.-Montreal Herald

RELICS OF THE BRONZE AGE.

shire, Scotland.
Until recently vestiges of the
Bronze Age civilization in Renfrew-
shire have been rarely met with,
though there were, doubtless, many
skilled craftsmen and an extensive
population in this as in many other
parts of Scotland during the period in
question. which is thought to have
ranged in time from about the six
teenth to the second century before
the birth of Christ. Lately, however,
remains undoubtedly of the Bronze
Age in Renfrewshire have been
brought to light by excavations near
the railway station at Newlands. Mr.
Ludovic Mann, F. S. A. Scot who de-
scribed few weeks ago the New:
lands finds to the Society of Antiquar-
les, of Scotland, has had the good for
tune recently to locate another
Bronze Age site. 1t is situated be-
tween Kilmalcolm and Bridge of Weir,
and the most important relic found is
a beautifully shaped perforated stone
axe-hammer, ornamented with knobs
and holdings, and in perfect preservar
ton.

the prisoner. Now Viscount de Bor-

One Armand Gally kills a woman and
tries to kill himself, but of course
fails, as they always do. At the trial,
counsel reads, as being the work of

quits him. 1t appears to me that l

ENORMOUS age.
The distinction OF being the oldest
living thing undoubtedly belongs to
one of the giant trees, and many at
tempts to locate it and determine its
age have been made. A century ago
De Candolle found two yews-one at
Fortingal, in Perthshire, and one at
Hedsor, in Bucks-that were estimat-
ed to be respectively $500 and 3.240
years old. Both are still f1ourishing,
and the older tree has a trunk 81 feet
in circumference. A gigantic baobab
of Central America, with a trunk 90
feet through, was thought by Hum
boldt to be not less than $3.50 years
old Mexican botanists believe they
have now discovered life-span even
greater than this, and from the an
nual rings a cypress of Chepultepec.
whose trunk is 118 feet in circumfer-
ence, is assigned an age of about 5000
