Diamonds That Explode

In his cantor lecture at the London
Royal Society of Arts DR.. A. E. Tut
ton, the leading expert on crystallog
raph, said that diamonds were prob
bly, formed from fused carbon at great
unknown temperatures and under such
pressures as could only exist at enor-
nous depths below the surface of the
earth.
When they came within the reach of
the miner they had travelled upwards,
probably by volcanic action, for long
way. 1t was well known that the re-
lief from pressure afforded In this
way caused many diamonds to break,
as the volcanic rocks in which they
we're first imbedded decayed into the
famous blue clay. Workmen In the
Kimberley mines knew that diamonds
often exploded soon after being dug
out of the earth.
This explosion was greatly assisted
by heat, and many accidents had oc-
CURED by the Kaffirs hiding newly
found diamonds In their mouths. The
lecture was illustrated by experiments
with ten diamond crystals lent by Sir
w. Crooks.

WESTERN LAND OF ROMANCE
Mexico Is Replete With Stories Of
chlvaIry, Devotion and the Ad-
ventures of Love.

II Cervantes smiled SPANS chivalry
away he failed to carry his influence
into Mexico. That country has always
been land Of romance. The people
there have chung to the habits which
grew out OF their old Spanish ancestry
and their climatic environment. They
still have their midday siesta, their
feast days and holidays. spend their
money freely and dress poorly. The
present insurrection is full of episodes
that would happen probably In no
other country of the world. Out Of
them the Imagination OF a Hugo. a
Dumas or Scott might build many
a romance of love and adventure For
In Mexico love and fighting still go
together. as they used to do In the
days of medieval knight errantry
A striking and at the same time
somewhat pathetic illustration of this
was the long journey over the desert
to the town Of Juarez undertaken by
a number of women, wives, mothers
and sweethearts of the soldiers at the
front. Accompanied by children. dogs,
cats and goats, they travelled more
than 200 miles to be near the soldier
boys, for whom Mexican women feel
so romantic an attachment.
The women had been left behind in
chihuahua when two battalions of
Mexican infantry were sent to the bor-
der. Impatient at the absence of-those
they loved, they got -pushcart, loaded
it with such necessary articles as 1t
would hold and propelled 1t over the
dreary wastes and around the burned
bridges. taking their turn In squads at
pushing the cart. The journey occu-
pied two weeks, food being obtained at
a few settlements which lay along
the route. Each of these women might
make a heroine of romance, for they
knew neither fear nor fatigue where
love was concerned.
But the romance of the Mexican

the women. A few days ago Gen. Cuel-

his is very picturesque and romantic.
But the present is a practical age and
impulse and emotionalism need
strong hand for guide.

Old eooty,s Ghost.

An apparition was once the subject
of trial in the court of kings bench
This was the case known to lawyers
as "Old Booty's Case" and was an &C,
tion for libel brought by his widow
against certain Captain Barnaby for
saying that he had seen Old Booty,
chased by the devil, disappear In the
chased by the devil, disappear
The trial took place before Sir Rob-
ert Wright, lord chief Justice of
England, and jury in 1888. The de-
tense was that the words spoken were
actually true, and Captain Barnaby
produced thirty witnesses captains
and sailors) to testify to the fact that
they had also at the time mentioned,
In May. 1887, seen Old Booty or his
appari.:1n disappear into the crater.
Their statements were further sub
stantiated by the ships log books, by
which the remarkable fact appeared
that allowing for the difference in
time the apparition was seen at the
moment OF Old Booty's death. With
such evidence before him the lord
chief justice summed up strongly in
Captain Barnaby's favor, saying, ac-
cording to the report: Lord have
mercy upon me and grant that may
never see what you have seen. One,
two, three witnesses may be mis-
taken, but thirty never" And so
Mrs. Booty lost her case.

parents were shocked to learn that

"That meant the selection Of Ben,
the youngest, for the church. and
when Ben got through his college
course he told the old folks at home
that he thought 1t wisest to follow
the example OF Potter and enter the

A Sermon syndicate.

A method Of sermon collaboration
which may exercise great influence
upon the vexed problem of church at
tendance was recently tried at Los
Angeles. Nine ministers of that city
got together and produced one sermon
and on the next Sunday nine congre-
cations listened to the same sermon,
one of the best they had ever heard.
Such plan makes good use of d.
versified gifts. One preacher may be
skilful in the use of illustrations, an
other particularly happy in literary
and historical illusions, third mas
ter in theology, another gifted with
evangelistic fervor, and so on through
all the elements that may enter into

Large Appetite
Frees Prisoner

Evans, Aug. 1O.-People here are
wondering if they have a joke on
Indian Smith or if he has a Joke on
them. This morning Smith was re-
leased from the city Jail, where he
had been placed for not paying a
fine against him. He didn't pay the
fine. either.
Yesterday Smith was fined SIS and
costs for allowing water to flood his
place. He has always paid previous
fines promptly, but this time failed
to come across. Hence he was
placed in Jail.
But Smith has a large appetite
and when the jailor began packing
three meals day to the prisoner II
was found that he would eat up
more than his fine would amount to-
After careful figuring 1t was thought
best to turn the prisoner loose to
feed at his own expense and dis.
pense with the punishment dictated
by the majesty of city ordinances OF
the town of Evans.
