II is said that before the fourteenth
century no one knew how to cut and
polish diamonds. They were esteemed
for their marvellous hardness, but not
greatly admired for beauty. There is
a tradition that journeyman jeweler
In Flanders, Louis Van Berghem, dis
covered the art of cutting diamond
with diamond. But 1t is probable that
he only made some notable advance in
the art since associations of diamond
cutters had existed in France and
Flanders from the fourteenth century.
Louis Van Berghem's most famous
achievement was the cutting and pol
ishing Of a huge diamond belonging to
Charles the Bold. Charles was so de-
lighted with the result that he reward
ed the artist literally and declared
that the diamond would now serve him
for bedroom lamp This jewel,
which was found on Charles body aft
er the battle of Nancy, is still In ex-
istence and celebrated under the name
of the Sancy diamond.--YOuth's Com

is allowed to smoke a cigar during the
lesson. When the whole class has CIV

the schoolmaster himself smokes a

scholars are not allowed to drink, this
privilege being accorded to the master

JUST ADDED A POSTSCRIPT
Scientist Capable of Great Psycholog ical Work Was Not Strong on

Prof. Spinks, the scientist, who was engaged in a profound psycho- logical work, rang for his manserv- ant. Then he indited the following note to the police commissioner:
 T vii! thank you to send one of your men to arrest my cook. She has stolen my purse"
 The servant, who had at once an- 3wered the bell, stood at his elbow, waiting for his employer to finish the note. He stopped to pick up something that was lying under the table. As the note was handed him the seryitor handed the object he had found to the scientist, remark ing as he did so:
 ''Here is your purse, sir. It was lying under your table,"
 "Ah, you are just in time," ob- served the psychologist. 'Give me the note.''
 This being done, the investigator of the mysteries of the human mind thereupon added the following post script:
 '"The purse has just been found. It will, therefore, be unnecessary for you to send any one."
 "Here, John,' said the professor, deliver this note at once. It is im- portant."

DENIZENS OF THE DEEP SEA
Nature Has Provided Them with Or. gans Well Adapted to Their
 Environment.

Fish that inhabit the depths of tn. sea beyond the penetration of day light depend largely in their search for prey on the senses of hearing and smell. One would think they would have no use for eyes at all; but na- ture has provided some of them with organs for the emission of phos- phorescent light, and in some cases the eye itself performs the double service of illumination and vision. There is thus a feeble light in those gloomy depths. An examination of the brains of some of these creatures made recently in Germany by Dr. Trojan shows that the conformation of this organ, as well as the distribu- ton of nerves, favors the senses of smell and hearing. The feeble devel- opment of the optic lobes and nerves indicates that vision is imperfect, while the powerful olfactory and Auditory nerves, the huge Gear stones" and the size of the corre- spending brain centers show what a preponderous part is played by sounds and smells in the mental life, if such it can be called, of dwellers in the marine abysses.
