HARDER THAN THE DIAMOND.
Metallic Tantalum Drawn Into Wire
Or Rolled Into Sheets.

or HOIied INFO SneetS.
That nothing is harder in nature
than a diamond and that a diamond
alone can cut a diamond, is a popu-
lar belief of long standing, says an
exchange. Yet 'thdre is something
harder. A new substance has made
its appearance which, If it can be OBJ
tanned in sufficient quantity, will PROB
ably replace the diamond alike in
the operations of drill boring aid in
the lapidarys workshop, for it is
harder than diamond; so hard, In fact,
that the only effect produced by a
diamond drill, worked day and night
for three days on a sheet of the sub
stance one twenty-fifth of an inch
thick, with speed of 5000 revolu-
tions minute, was a slight dint In
the sheet and the wearing out of the
diamond. This substance is pure me-
tallic tantalum.
Tantalum is not a common metal,
yet it is also not of the rarest It's
existence was discovered more than
century ago,
l. ulC bultuluIl W 40 htoJ plCpdlON
by DR.. Bolton. One of his methods
is 10 fuse the double fiuoride of potas-
sium and tantalum with metallic po-
tassium in an elCtriC furnace in vacuo
bul he seems to prefer a much SIM
pier electrical method. Making up the
oxide with filament, exactly like that
of a Nernst incandescent lamp, he
,,1opnu f,, r,1n tn
air pump and turns on the current.
The oxide is decomposed and the
oxygen being gradually removed by the
pump the fiIament is reduced to the
metallic state.
Tantalum differs from all other
known substances in combining ex-
treme hardness with extreme ductii-
ty. When red hot it is easily rolled
into bars and sheets drawn into wire.
1t is scarcely affected by the oxygen
of the air. even at red heat, and not
at all at ordinary temperature, and
the strongest acids fail to dissolve it;
nor does it amalgamate with mercury.
1t melts only at the highest attain
able temperatures and is therefore
well fitted to serve for filaments in
incandescent lamps being much
stronger than carbon. pound or 1t
will make 10000 lamps, and these re-
quire eXectly half as much power
to light them as do carbon filaments
giving the same brilliancy.
If it can only be produced in suffi-
cient quantity, tantalum should prove
most useful metal 1t will furnish
better boring tools than the diamond
drill and cheaper electric lights than
carbon, while the possible uses of a
plate or wire harder than diamond
and yet tough and strong, are almost
infinite, for every other hard sub
stance is brittle, and this fact has
hampered the engineer for centuries.

Sand as Writing PAPER.

1--WE have all seen sand used as
blotting paper" said a school director,
but in New England l saw it used
as writing paper.
Sand was the original blotting pa
per. White and clean, it was kept
in cruet, like salt cruet, and
shaken out on the wet writing
through the perforated top.
There are affected people-the kind
of people who write with quill pens
who still use sand as a blotter. But
1 thought that as writing paper it
had disappeared forever.
Recently l visited a country school
in New Hampshire. On the masters
desk sat box. three feet square, fill
ed with sand. The children came,
one at a time, to the box, and with
a pointed stick by way OF pen they
wrote. AS each child finished no
smoothed out his writing, leaving the
sand smooth for the next conner.
This odd scene carried me back
to the days when paper was SO scarce,
when states were so scarce, that sand
was used In the schools to write on
the days of my grandfather and
great t-grandfather."

Hogan being charged with committing

The officers stated that the men
were somewhat under the influence OF
liquor. The proprietors of the place

Clever Ruse Of a Klnn.

Alfonso, King of Aragon, was one
cay examining the different articles
in his jewellers shop in company with
many ladies of his court, and had
scarcely left the house when the jew
eller missed a diamond of great value
and ran after him, complaining OF
the theft.
The King. not willing publicly to
disgrace any of his attendants, COM
manded large basin full of sand to
be brought him, into which he di-
rected each person to put in the hand
Clenched and draw it out fat
BY this means the diamond was LETT
in the sand and lAe identity of the
would-be thief remained unknown.

Too Much For the inspector.

At one of the local day schools last
week a class of boys was examined in
geography. Turning to one of them
who had been particularly smart dur
ing the examination the inspector
asked: "What is the axis of the
earth?" can imaginary line which
passes from one pole to the othe: and
on which the earth reyolves," replied
the boy promptly. VERY good" ex-
claimed the inspector, we'll pleased,
"And could you hang clothes on that
line?" "Yes. sir" was the unexpected
reply. Indeed" exclaimed the other
rather disappointed; 'and what sort
or clothes?" Imaginary clothes,
sir."--The Tatler.

OLD ''H|DING NESTS"
MANY ENGLISH HOUSES CONTAIN
SECRET CHAMBERS
One Located in the Chimney Entered
From the Hearthstone-Re-
markable Escape of a
Priest and Servant.

To the modern dweller IN nat or
apartment the days of secret cham
bels seem very remote. 1t is not so
many years, however, since hidden
rooms were common to many houses
of pretension. In England to-day
there are many priest holes" still
preserved where in troublous times
priests might take refuge.
At Upton Court curious place for
conccalment exists in one of the gables
close to the ceiling. 1t is triangu-
lar in shape and is opened by spring
belt that can be unlatched by pull
ing string which runs through a
tiny hole pierced in the framework
of the door of the adjoining room.
The door of the hiding place swings
upon a pivot and externally is thick
ly covered with plaster, so as to re-
semble the rest of the wall, and it is
SO solid that when sounded there is
no hollow sound from the cavity be-
hind. Not far off, in an upper gaTct,
is a hiding place in the thickness OF
the wall large enough to contain a
man standing upright. Like the 9TH
er, the door of entrance forms part
of the plaster wall.
The narrow escapes of some of the
prosecuted priests would fill several
volumes and for thrilling excitement
that of Father Blount, at Scotney
Castle, the old house of the Darralls,
on the borders of Kent and Sussex,
is a good example.
One Christmas night toward the
close of Elizabeth's reign the castle
was seized by a party OF priest hunt
ers, who locked up the members OF
the family securely before starting
their operations. In the inner quad,
rangle of the mansion was very re-
markable and ingenious device. A
| large stone of solid wall could be
| pushed aside. Though Of immense
weight, it was so balanced and ad-
justed that it required only slight
| pressure upon one side to effect an
entrance to the hiding place within
| Upon the approach of the enemy
Father Blount and his servant hasten
| ed to the courtyard and entered the
vault, but in their hurry to close the
weighty door a small portion OF one
of their girdles got jammed in, sc
that a part of it was visible from
the outside.
Fortunately for the fugitives, some
one in the secret in passing the spot
happened to catch sight of this tell
tale fragment and called gently tt
those within to endeavor to pull il
in, which they eventually succeeded
in doing. At this moment the pur.
suers were at work in another part
of the castle, but, hearing the voice
| in the courtyard, rushed into it anC
commenced battering the walls, and
at times upon the very door Of tho
hiding place, which would have giver
away had not those within put theil
combined weight against it to keel
it from yielding. 1t was @ pitch darl
night, and rain was pe.t.ag down
so, after a time, discouraged at find
ing nothing and wet to the skin, the
soldiers put off further search unu
the following morning.
