FIinty Plant Covers.

When Sir Humphry Davy was boy
about sixteen, little girl came to him
in great excitement:
''Humphry, do tell me my these two
pieces of cane make tiny spark of
light when / rub them together?"
Humphry was a studious boy, who
spent hours in thinking out scientific
problems. He patted the child's curly
head and said:
81 do not know, dear. Let us see if
they really do make a light, and then
we will try to find out why"
Humphrey soon found that the little
girl was right. The pieces of cane if
rubbed together quickly did give a
tiny light Then he set to work to find
out the reason, and after some time,
thanks to the observing powers of his
little friend and his own kindness to
her In not impatiently telling her not
to worry" as SO many might have
done, Humphry Davy made the first
of his interesting discoveries. Every
reed, cane and grass has an outer skin
of f1inty stuff, which protects the in
side from insects and also helps the
frail looking leaves to stand upright.

The Making of Diamonds.

1t is quite possible to manufacture
diamonds. Indeed famous French
man of science, Moissan, made very
large numbers by means of his cleo
trio furnace. His process was to dis
solve Jumps of sugar in molten iron,
subjecting the solution to enormous
pressure. Lump sugar may be said to
consist simply of water and diamond.
1t is the case that the diamond is mere
" crystallized carbon. There are three
kinds of carbon-plumbago graphite
and diamond-the composition of all of
which is identical. When charcoal is
dissolved in molten iron, graphite is
formed All the diamonds found in
Borneo, Brazil, India and South Africa
are made in much the same manner
that is, by the action of great heat and
enormous pressure. Charcoal formed
from wood has been baked into dia-
monds, the enormous heat and pres
sure of the earth'S interior causing the
beautiful white stone to crystalline out
Although artificial distinct from imi-
tation) diamonds have been made for
some time, the cost has been prOhib-
tive, while the stones have been of but
Insignificant size and value.

Ancient Fashion Jaraon.

The language of the fashion plate
and the woman's paper is sufficiently
appalling to the mere man even in
these days of emancipated and, we
may presume, more grammatical wom-
anhood; but, according to an extract
from fashion journal of 1887, the jar
gon of those days was even more as
founding This is how the paper de-
scribed the dress of a certain Mile. ID.
at the opera:
'She appeared in dress of 'stifed
SighS.' Ornamented with 'superfuOus
regrets the bodice cut in a perfect
candor' point and trimmed with in
discreet complaints Her hair was
dressed in sustained sentiments with
a headdress of sustained conquest
ornamented with several 'f1yaways'
and 'downcast eye ribbons, and her
collar was 'beggar on horseback color. .
No doubt all these marvellous terms
conveyed some meaning to the fash
ionable woman of the days when
French society danced on the edge of
the volcano of 1889. but to their de
scendants of today they have abso-
iutely no meaning.

Table Manners In Old France.

Could we restore for half an hour the
dinner table of old France and obtain
half dozen instantaneous photo
graphs of royal banquet at any era
between the reigns of Francis I and
Louis Quatorze such cataract of
laughter would be heard as might
disturb the serenity Of Louis In para
disc. The duchess, her napkin tied Sc
curely round her neck, would be seen
mumbling bone, the noble marquis
surreptitiously scratching himself, the
belle marquise, withdrawing her spoon
from her lips to help neighbor to
sauce with it, another fair creature
securing her plate with her bread, a
gallant courtier using his doublet or
the tablecloth as towel for his fin
gers and two footmen holding a yard
of damask under lady's chin while
she emptied her goblet at a draft. Dur
ing a feast of inordinate length it was
sometimes necessary to substitute
clean cloth for the one which the care
lessness or bad manners of the guests
had reduced to deplorable condition.

Sir Edwin Landseer was below. Dick

seen my beard and mustache yet
Charles Landseer and Edwin had been
abroad for some time together in Italy,
and they hadn't all met for months.
Edwin came up and took no notice of
the beard, and at last Dickens said:
We'll, Lanny, what about all this?

FATAL EXPLOSION IN A MINE
Kills Three Men. Fatally Injuries Two
and Wounds Five Others
Fifteen in Peril.

Three miners are dead, two others
perhaps fatally burned. and fifteen
were entombed by an explosion at the
Ellsworth No. l. mine of the Pittsburs
Coal company, near Monongahela
Pa. OF the three dead John Beal
is the only one identified. The
others are foreigners whose feat
ures were too scorched to be recog
nized. Little is known as to the cause
of the explosion. 1t occurred when al
but thirty miners working on the day
shift had left the workings. Had the
explosion occurred five minutes earlier
the entire force of 500 men would have
been entrapped with probably many
fatalities.
All the men were got out of the mine
after short Imprisonment. Two in
jured men, both named Peter Hazot
cousins, are at the hospital here terri

The MIDGET Snakes.

81 see by your paper" says a CORE
spondent, "that you want to find man
who can tell snake story with the
sound of originality to it. Here it is:
Nearly forty years ago in the woods OF
Indiana / captured three snakes, each
less than three and one-fourth inches
in length, combined length Of less
than ten inches, a little longer and q
little larger in the middle than an old
fashioned wool darning needle. Al
though these snakes were SO small they
would crawl around with their heads
up and dart out their tongues like
larger snakes, put these reptiles in
an eight ounce bottle, and they had
plenty of room to crawl around on the
bottom of it without crowding. These
were not the kind of snakes generally
seen in bottles, but genuine snakes.
Among those who saw them was a
minister of the gospel, and he had not
been taking anything to make him see
snakes either"-Emporia Gazette.

sat a jewelry drummer. He was one

Presently the train stopped to take on
water, and the conductor neglected to
send back fiagman. A limited ex-
press, running at a rate of ten miles
an hour, came along and bumped the
rear end of the first train. The drum
mer was lifted from his seat and pitch
ed head first against the seat ahead.
His silk hat was damned clear down
over his ears. He picked himself up
and settled back in his seat. No bones
had been broken. Then he pulled or
his hat, drew long breath and,
Strengthening up, said: 'Hully gee!
