Capitals We Have Had.

1t is asserted sometimes that the
United States has had I've capitals.
but the statement is not correct. The
United States has had but three cap
itais-New York. Philadelphia and
Washington. In the period preceding
the adoption of the constitution no
place was legally constituted a capital.
In loose and unofficial sense it is pos
sible to describe as a capital any city
which was the seat of government.
Taking the sessions of the Continental
congress as establishing Il seat of gov
ernment in the Revolution and the
confederation. the following cities
may loosely rank as capitals: Phila
delphia. Baltimore. Lancaster. York,
Princeton. Annapolis. Trenton and
New York. The articles of confedera-
ton were passed by congress in Phil
adelphia, and the federal convention
charged to prepare a constitution con
vened at the same place.

The crisis between Italy and Turkey
over the proposed protectorate over
Tripoli by Italy has reached a climax.
The Turks, according to reports re-
ceived from reliable authority.
captured the Italian liner Regina Mar
gherita at Mersina, Asia Minor. The
steamer is one of fleet of the Navi
gaZoine Generate Italiana of Genoa.
No details Of the reported capture Of
the liner have been received BY way
of Paris another report has been re
ceived that the Italians have landed
troops at three points on the coast of
TripOli
AS the Italians have been prepared
for some time to take immediate ac-

is thought that action in Selling the
italian liner will precipitate trouble

When One Drills With Diamonds.

A diamond bit for rock drilling is
quite an expensive article. says Cas-
sier's Magazine. It's value, however,
will undergo fluctuations, dependent
upon the price Of the diamonds. Per-
haps $500 is a fair value for a bit.
The diamond used is exceedingly hard
harder than those usually used as
jewelry Their carat price is consid-
cradle, averaging. say, $50 per carat.
The diamonds used will weigh from
one to two carats, so that eight
have value ranging from $3.50 to
$500 on the average. The loss Of a
bit means many diamonds gone and
may lead to difficulty with the hole.
The diamond is not tough. but brittle.
1t will withstand heavy pressure If
applied evenly and without shock. 1t
can readily be seen that drilling
through seamy rock may become quite
unfavorable. If there is much quartz
present the abrasion may become ex-
cessive Under ordinary conditions.
