Gratitude is one of the strangest quail
tiles in all the world. Men are seldom
grateful enough to women and women are
far too grateful to men.
Now, a little gratitude is charming
thing. 1t means proper appreciation Of
benefits received But gratitude carried
too far means fulsome flattery, weak
kneed worship of some one who once was
kind and servile putting up with any sort
of present attitude because OF past favors.
There are girls who, II a man asks them
for q dance, have the air OF being as
grateful as II he had given them his last
crust TO save them from starvation.
There are girls who have no idea in
their heads except to follow the other
girls and help pamper tho conceited lady
killer men who think they are so ir-
resistible that, OF course. every girl is
after them. They put up with men who
have a lordly air of comforting a favor
| by noticing them,
The stupidity of this is far beyond

The girl who desires popularity must
take the little lever Of gratitude and re-
verse its action. Here is a rule for you

gists call the "monoclinic." or cubic sys-
tenn. This Is a mere descriptive term, and
does not imply any knowledge on our
part Of the reason why nature causes
different kinds OF substances to crystallize
in different forms, nor, indeed, why she
makes crystals at all.
A crystal Is a definite geometric form
(such as a cube. a hexagon or o rhomb),
which many kinds Of pure matter assume
when left TO solidify out OF solution.
There is some force affecting the MOLE
oules OF those substances which causes
them, when they are free. to yield TO II.
10 arrange themselves in accordance
with fixed scheme. the geometric plan
differing with different substances
We can see the formation Of crystals
when We allow a solution of salt or of
sugar or OF alum 20 evaporate. But we
do not know how nature proceeds In maxi
| ing all OF her crystals-and. particularly,
VIC do not know for certain Though some
shrewd guesses have been made) how
she crysthllizos her diamonds.
II is possible 20 make diamonds arti-
fieially, and the thing has been done
But we nre not perfectly sure that our
way Of making diamonds lie the same as
natures way, and, in any event. our
diamonds, made artifcally. can In no
way compete with hers, They are mere
pin-points In size, and they lack tho
brilliance OF native diamonds. Stn, they
are, In essence, real diamonds and not
limitations. Whether we shall ever be
able to make them as large and as
splendid as nature does Is a question that
remains to be answered by chemists.
The fundamental form OF a native dia-
mond crystal IL that OF an ootahedron
(eiEht- sided solid, or some modification
of the ootahedral form. II is transparent
when tho outside crust has been removed,
and is the hardest substance known. II
also possess a most extraordinary power
OF refracting or bending the light rays
that enter II. This Is the cause of the
extreme brilliance OF the diamond. and
OF it's marvellous display OF flashing
prismatlc colors.
The minute artificial diamonds that
have been made are produced by dissoiv-
ing ordinary carbon, such as charcoal. In
melted iron and then pouring the mix
ture into a mold and chilling 1t rapidly
by immersion In cold water The swift
contraction OF the chilled surface of the
iron causes an intense pressure upon the
still liquid interior, and as the core grad
ually solidlfes, under this compression.
the carbon is deposited, mostly as In the
form OF graphite, or plumbago, but a
small quantity assumes the form OF tiny
crystals OF diamond
Inasmuch as the diamonds OF South
Africa are found in what are believed to
be the choked-up threats of ancient vol
canoes Il has been assumed that nature
formed them there somewhat in the
Same way In which artificial diamonds
arc made Wig: by the capitalization OF
carbon dissolved in volcanic lava, and
cooled under great pressure.
But II this be true, a volcano is a lab
oratory so vastly exceeding the greatest
