TUST because this is so in
genious an age, and an age
so remarkable for its rapid
advance in science, We who live
in its inspiring atmosphere need
an occasional reminder that we
do not yet know everything, and
that there are on the slippery
precipices of unattained l1nowl-
edge still above US many awk-
ward and difficult corners to be
turned before we can approach
the snowy peak which sails away

simply for the sake Of the useful
thought that it is calculated to in
spire. Some of the statements
may BE- slightly misleading. or in
complete. but upon the whole they
are sufficiently true.
1.-The diamond, the hardest
substance known and one of the
most transparent, a marvel OF
beauty on account of the subtle
way in which it plays with the
colored elements of light, is COM
posed of pure carbon. But lamp
black is also pure carbon, and
charcoal is practically the same
thing, If you put the diamond in
to fire il swells up and becomes
an ugly mass. as black and opaque
as coke All its crystalline
beauty is gone. and you can not
turn it back again into a gem. II

u.-Rattlesnake poison and the
white of an egg contain the same
amounts of identically the
same chemical elements. But we
can not turn common albumen
into snake venom.
IU.-Coal gas and oil of roses.
each consist of four atoms of
hydrogen, combined with four
atoms of carbon. The one de-
lights cur sense of smell, and the
other stiles us with its mephitic
odor. Here again nature has a

The Treatment of Convicts

+ Until the object had in view
in sending men to prison is
more clearly conceived than
seems to be the case at present,
the results of their confinement
are likely to prove more detri-
mental TO public interest than
beneficial TO it.
One object Of their enforced re-
straint appears to be TO get them
Out OF the way. As it is unreason-
able and inezpeiient to Kill them
all. the next best thing seems TO
he shutting them up.
Another motive is that OF re-
taliation. give them back as good
as they gave. damage them a.
much as they have damaged the
public: so many pounds Of crime
so many pounds of penalty what
might be called the bookkeeping
method.
