Of the larger tree upon a spectator
standing beneath 1t is positively over

while the spreading branches reach

PAGES and then bend upward and fork.
A good sized public meeting could be
held in the shade of either of these
immense trees.-Wide World Magazine.

lot Of the king to divide them among
three sons, and he was ut his wits

cowrie. A wizard was called in. who
gained boundless credit by doling out
the cowries one by one until only six
remained. These he divided into three
lots of two each and gave lot to each
son. The king to this day attributes
this very satisfactory outcome to con-

earth is removed in closed trucks to

exposure to sun and atmosphere strewn
on the ground, 1t is hauled to the mills.
Here pulsators finally locate the dia-
monds on grease covered inclined ta-
bles, to which the diamonds adhere,

washed away by water
Acres of ground covered by broken
earth brought up from the mines con-

TEA CADDIES.
No Table Is Complete Without One Of
These Attractive Articles.

These Attractive Articles.
The tea caddy is most important
adjunct of the tea table. for unless the
container Of the tea is tightly closed
the aroma will quickly escape. China
caddies to match tea sets are always
liked. but they and the silver caddies
usually have single covers which do
not close tight.
japanese pewter caddies beautifully
hand wrought are among the very
practical ones that look well with any
fittings. They have double covers. the
inner one sitting into the top by the
pressure of the air and the outer sit.
ting out around the rim and also clos
ing by the pressure of the rim.
They cost from So to SO and hold
from quarter to a half pound. But
even with these a small quantity OF
tea should be bought at time.
Tea deteriorates with time in the
best of receptacles. 1t should always
be kept in cool. dry place.

AcETYLENE GAS.
Carbide Of Calcium, Which Produces
II, and an Accident.

It, and an Accident.
The immense production at Niagara
falls of carbide of calcium, the curious
artificial stone which when bathed In
water gives off acetylene gas. recalls
that this substance was first manufac-
tured in America by accident through
the metallurgical operations of T. l..
Wilson, near small stream in North
Carolina.
While using limestone and salt in
smelling he noticed among the melted
Stag which day by day ran nearer to
the brink Of the little stream a gray
white substance new in his expert
ence, but thought little of it until one
day the molten Stag overhung the wa
ter and began to flow into it. Then
suddenly a bright white flame burst
out of the molten mass and enveloped
1t for some time.
He drew from the dry Stag some Of
the strange material and touched a
match to it, but without result. Then
he poured some water upon it, and at
the next trial the liberated acetylene
gas broke into flame.
Thus in 1892 accident discovered n
practicable way of producing that
acetylene gas first discovered in Eng
land in 1886 by Edmund Day while
experimenting with potassium tartrate
and charcoal. 1t remained. however,
for the intense heat of the hydroelec-
trical furnaces of Niagara to turn out
this wonderful stone in almost perfect
purity and immense quantities.-Na-
tional Magazine.
