Itacolumite is a peculiar stone which
is found In Brazil. When flexible itacol-
unite is cut into thin plates, and when
examined with a microscope it is found
to be composed almost entirely Of fine
grains Of sand Of peculiar shape, with
indented edges which interlock Ike the
fingers Of clasped hands. The hexibil
ity Of the material results from this
interlocking Of the grains Of sand, OF
which it is chiefly composed. Although
but few persons know that this stone
can be anything but hard, the flexible
stone is not so much Of a curiosity as
it seems, for II is found In North Caro-
lima, and there are specimens OF 1t In

ed his majesty King Victor Emmanuel
to sign a decree for the augmentation
OF the STAFF Of the foreign Office The
king promised to think the matter over
and the next morning set out alone on

clerk who was smoking cigarettes.

"And when may expect to see your

And then his majesty sent for Signor
Prinetti and suggested that instead Of
asking for more clerks he should make
It his business to see that those already
