Ranks Among the Curiosities Of the
Mineral Kingdom.

The term "black diamonds" is some.
which we burn in our furnaces. but
the real black diamonds of commerce
are among the most unique mineral
products of the world, and they serve
a purpose in the Industrial world that
makes them of great value. The blar.;
diamonds are pure carbon. and yet in
no outward appearance resemble the
diamonds which we are accustomed 10
wear as ornaments. writes Gec-Ss :,
Walsh in Scientific American. They
are slightly harder than the crystal OF
gem diamonds and in fact. about the
hardest substance known.
Black diamonds or carbons are
among the greatest curiosities of the
mineral kingdom. They are without
crystalline form and are found in ir
regular pieces ranging in size from
half n carat up to three, four and five
hundred carats. They are dark gray,
black or brOwnish in color and Opaque.
The real diamond of the jewelry trade
is Also pure carbon, but translucent
and crystalline in form. Two objects
so alike in composition could not be
found so opposite in appearance as
these two forms of carbon.
Another peculiar thing about the
black diamonds is that they are found
only in one locality in the world. They
come from very small section in
Brazil not more than 30 miles square
in area Outside of this limited terri
tory no pure black diamonds have even
been found. In the Brazilian black
diamond fields the natives dive in the
river beds for them and recover them
from the gravel and washings of the
rivers
What peculiar freak of nature caused
the deposition of the black diamonds
in this section of the world and no.
where else is one of the mysteries
which science has failed to explain
None of them has been found in the
great Kimberley diamond regions.
where the crystal form of diamonds
have for so long been mined. and like
wise no fine specimens of the gem dia-
mond have been found in the Brazilian
black diamond fields. The whole orr
gin of the black diamonds is therefore
a scientific enigma.

Time at the Poles.

Time is curious freak at the

meaning. Presumably he carried

time of his discovery it was 2 In the

ridian runs to the north pole as well
as that of Greenwich, its time also

ELEVATOR Is ANCIENT.
Evidence That Old Rome Made Use of
Mechanical Lifts.

Professor Boni is reported to have
made an important discovery in the
course of his excavations in the Forum.
While exploring some underground
passages near the north rostra of Gaze
sar he found in twelve small rooms or
galleries traces of former system Of
elevators.
In each room there are unmiStakable
traces of grooves through which ropes
passed and stone supports for wooden
poles that were fixed vertically inside
the passages. The professor is con

rooms served to raise to the surface the

NICARAGUAN NAVY
HAS ONE OLD SHIP
Washington Times)

Y W bt1AlAAA = N"AA ~ AA'AN-''t
While the solemn conclave goes
on about the dispatching Of gun
boats and marines to subdue Ze-
laya. there comes from Nicaragua
important and moving news Of
the strength Of the Nicaraguan
navy.
The Nicaraguan navy is the
Monotombo. The MonOtOmbo is
an old, abandoned, condemned
Pacific mail steamer, loaded down
with two guns, which, if they
were fired, would rip up the decks
and shiver the masts and crack
the anchor of the warlike craft.
Up from the sunny cline Of
Panama there floats the echo Of
warlike talk. The people Of the
Canal Zone are "thirsting for a
fight"
And the MonOtombO beckons
them on, sharpens their thirst,
The Monotombo is the Nicaraguan
navy, and it lies at anchor creak-
ing on every swell Of the tide.
1t is cheering news. The gun
boats of the United States will
possibly have a fight, and they
will surely win. The Monotombo
can Z help it.
