HARDNESS OF DIAMONDS.

THE STONES CAN BE FORCED BY PRES
SURE INTO STEEL BLOCKS.
A word as to the hardness of dia-
monds. They vary much in this re-
spect. Even different parts Of the same
crystal differ ih their resistance to cut
ting and grinding. So hard is diamond
in comparison to glass that suitable
splinter of diamond will plane curls off
a glass plate as carpenters tool will
plane shavings off deal board. An
other experiment that will illustrate
its hardness is to place diamond on
the fattened end of conical block of
steel and upon it bring another similar
cone of steel. If l force them together
with hydraulic power, can force the
stone into the steel blocks without in
juring the diamond in the least. The
pressure which l have brought to bear
in this experiment has been equal to
10 tons a square inch of diamond
The only serious rival of the diamond
in hardness is the metal tantalum. In
an attempt to bore a hole through a
plate of this metal diamond drill was
used, revolving at the rate of 5000 rev.
olutions minute. This whirling force
was continued ceaselessly for three
days and nights, when it was found
that only small point one-fourth of a
millimeter deep had been drilled and
it was moot point which had suffer
ed the most damage, the diamond or
the tantalum.
After exposure for some time to the
sun many diamonds glow in a dark
room. One beautiful green diamond in
my collection when phosphorescing in
vacuum gives almost as much light
! as candle, and you can easily read by
its rays. But the time eas hardly come
| when we can use diamonds as domes-
tic illuminants.-SirW William Crookes

The FIRST Test of Baby Mind.

Just as the germ of the flower is con-
tanned in the tiniest seed and will reveal
itself with an absolute certainty as will
rootlets and leaves when proper condi-
tions of heat, moisture and light are
accorded, so the germ of the mind of a
child is present in his little body and
will develop and unfold itself with the
growth of the latter.
The only way to stop the growth of
a child's mind is to stop his body from
growing. Appetite is the mother of
the mind, and muscle is its father. AS
its lowest estimate the body with it's
brain is the tool of the mind, and good
work cannot be done without good
tools.
The first test of muscular vigor, the
hand grasp, is an indication of the
mental possibilities as well. Not one
child out of a hundred who at ten days
of age grasps firmly and clings to a
finger or pencil rubbed against his pink
little palm will ever fall below the
average intelligence of his race

HUMAN LOVE.
THE ONE JOYOUS IMPULSE THAT RULES

THE ONE JOYOUS IMPULSE THAT RULES
THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD.
There lives somewhere in the depths
of every human heart the divine spark
that we call love- 1t is the voice of the
universe slumbering in its narrow cell
to be awakened by whisper or to cry
out in dear desire and hear the echoing
answer from another soul. Without
it, life would be pale, relentless cpl
sode. Without its quickening force no
temples would be reared by human
hands, yet novels wherein it dwells be-
come more glorious than palaces. Am
bition, fame and fortune are it's slaves.
1t chains the mind in sweet imprison-
ment, makes credulity guardian
queen and lulls suspicion to repose.
No censorship of right or wrong can
light the way of love. 1t walks in
pathways all it's own. 1t laughs at
reason and dispels despair. 1t is the
lisping word of children, the puzzle of
philosophers. the talisman of rulers. 1t
is the first and last of life-murmured
at the cradle, cherished at the grave.
1t is the rainbow after tears, the cure
for every sorrow, the one joyous inn
pulse that rules the whole wide world.

THE PIECE THAT ROBERT
SPOKE.

Once there was little boy, whose name
was Robert R2ece;
And every Friday afternoon he had to
speak a piece.
So many poems he thus learned, that
soon he had store
Of recitations in his head, and still
kept learning more.
And now this is what happened He
was called upon one week,
And totally forgot the piece he was
about to speak
His brain he cudgeled. Not a word
remained within his head!
And so he spoke at random, and this is
what he said.
'sMy Beautiful, my Beautiful, who
standest proudly by,
1t was the schooner 'Hesperus'-the
breaking waves dashed high
Why is the Forum crowded? 2? What
means this stir in Rome?
Under spreading chestnut tree there
is no place like home!
"When Freedom from her mountain
height cried, Twinkle little star,
Shoot if you must this old grey head,
King Henry of Navarro
Roll on, thou deep and dark blue
castled crag of Drachenfels,
My name is Norval, on the Grampian
Hills, ring out, wild bells
'If you're waking, call me early, to be
or not to be,
The curfew must not ring tonight
Oh wOOdman snare the tree
Charge, Chester, Charge! On, Stanley,
on! And let who will be clever!
The boy stood on the burning deck,
but go on forever ~

Substitute For Wall Paper

Consul General William H Michael
writing from Calcutta, gives the follow
ing account of a damp-resisting wall
covering:
Much complaint has always been
made by occupants of houses in Cal
cutta on account of damp walls, espe-
cially in the rainy season of the year.
To remedy this it is proposed to use a
new kind of damp-proof paper, made of
"raw "copper"" and varying in thickness
from O.0O12 of an inch to O,OO6. 1t is
said to be capable of being worked into
all sorts of patterns.
1t is claimed to be insect-proof and
damp-proof, and can go six or seven
years without being cleaned. 1t is used
in the same way as wall paper. Ordin.
ary wall paper is of little use in the
damp climate of Calcutta, and the new
invention holds out many inducements

THE ENCHANTED MESA.
STORY OF GREAT DISASTER WHICH
WHIPPED OUT THE POPULATION.

STORY OF GREAT DISASTER WHICH
WHIPPED OUT THE POPULATION.
The story of the enchanted mesa was
but tradition when in 1541 the Span
iards first visited the pueblo of Acoma,
in what is now Valencia county, N. M.
Powerful tribes inhabited the region.
These tribes or nations were constantly
at war with each other, which accounts
for the fortified character of the villages
of the natives. The Queres, whose de-
scendants now occupy Acoma, held
this region and dwelt in small fortified
towns, the capital of which was Acoma.
It was not, however, the Acoma of to-
day, but city perched upon the top of
the great rock now called Mean Encan-
tada. 1t was the magnificent city of
the nation, and there dwelt the great
men of the tribe, together with their
families.
The rock then, as now, was unscal-
able, save at the one point where a
narrow and precipitious trail led up the
dizzy height. While not the most con-
venient dwelling place, for neither
water nor vegetation was to be found
upon the summit, it was safe from the
attacks of foes. One man at the top of
the trail could defend the city against
the warriors of the entire west. One
day, while large number of the in
habitants were at work in the fields on
the plain below or attending to the
affairs of the tribe in the various neigh
boring villages, something within the
rock or in the earth beneath it awoke
to life and motion There was a heav-
ing, a squirming and shivering of the
great rock, and, with mighty noise,
it parted in twain, and portion fell in
fragments to the plain below.
Such persons as were carried down
in the debris were crushed to death. A
worse fate remained for those left pri-
soners on the top of the mesa, for that
which fell carried away the narrow
trail, the only means of ascent and de-
scent. The stranded ones perished
from thirst and starvation. The present
Acoma family are the descendants of
disaster. Ethnologists who visited the
top of the rock some years ago found
unmistakable evidences that it had
once been the site of habitation. The
story of the disaster had previous to
that time been discredited and consi-
dered but an idle Indian legend. The
discovery of the ancient ruins, how
ever, seemed confirmatory of the tale,
and it has since been credited. d.-Denver

Picking Buttercups Fatal.

That the picking of buttercups is in
furious to the health of children is the
theory of DIR. w. w. Chalfonte of Phil
adelphia. He declared recently at a
meeting of physicians that some cases
called measles are not measles at all,
but the effects of gathering buttercups
and inhaling their perfume.
"Buttercup fever,n is the term DR..
Chalfonte gives the disease. SIN Ger.
many and Holland there are laws for
bidding the growing and picking o1
buttercups, said the physician. 'Land
owners are cautioned, and dairy inspec
tors are assigned to see that pastures
are free of the flowers. In these coun
tries epidemics of 'buttercup fever
came regularly, and in some cases the
disease proved fatal"

MILLIONS FOR THEATRES.
THE ENORMOUS THEATRICAL INDUS
TRY OF NEW YORK CITY.

l. lie hIhOhMoCo hISaL LINUS
TRY OF NEW YORK CITY.
There is theatregoing crowd in New
York which numbers 100000 people
nightly If we take into consideration
all sorts and conditions of theatres, this
number is probably low estimate; for
there are innumerable foreign play
houses. obscure stock companies and
unnoticed but prosperous vaudeville
and burlesque shows which steadily
attract their own custom in the met
ropolis. There are about 40 theatres of
first-class standing now running in
New York city.
Box-office receipts at both the s'le-
gitimate" and the vaudeville houses,
taken the year around, will amount to
something in the neighborhood of $6,-
O0O,OO per annum. Perhaps even this
is an estimate. OF all kinds, there are
5000 actors playing in New York city
perhaps 5000. Some of these actors
draw salaries as high as 81, 500 week
for season of 20 weeks Some of the
shows-such as "The Man of the
Hour"-take in $1,000 a week for a
season of So weeks straight.
All these oddly assorted facts bring
up an interesting train of thought
They dimly reveal why New York is
the theatrical cnpter of thiS continent.
why actors from every State in the
Union flock to the metropolis to hunt
for work; why the dramatic writer's of
the whole world are anxious to obtain
a New York hearing; why all the indi-
vidual brains of the whole country, so
employed, are building theatres, and
designing costumes and writing music
here in this main city. 1t is gigantic
industry, if we view the array of figures
and the facts back of them There
seems to be no end of production. A
hundred thousand brains are busy
about the New York stage, thinking
out devices, studying gestures, painting
scenes, rehearsing tones and voices-go-
ing through all the little endless duties,
of reproducing humanity for humanity
to gaze at and enjoy. 1t is a wonderful
energy lavished upon transient affair;
all the more wonderful because it is so
fatally transient. Maga-
zine.
