cho.te on Lord Aberdeen.

A characteristic remark Of Mr..
Choate was made about Lord Aber-
deem at a dinner in New York, where
the then governor-general Of Canada
was the principal guest, appearing
in kits, in honor of his Scotch en-
tertainers. Aberdeen had made neat
speech. and the applause had hardly
ceased when Choate was introduced.
and proceeded to say some compli.
mentary things Of the last speaker
and to declare that II he had known
that he was to be permitted to sit
next to his distinguished Scotch
friend, the governor-general Of Can.

he, too, would have como without his
trousers. It was audacious, but the
killed guest was soonest to catch its
humor and led the laughter it pro-
duced.

Intense heat was brought to bear

course of three-quarters of an hour
it was necessary twice or thrice to
cool the globe. Then it was noticed
that the diamond was slowly dimin-

merrily. 1t glowcd brilliantly, with
scarlet light inclining to purple,
and continued to burn for about
four minutes.
The glass was then cooled and the
diamond again submitted to the ac-
ton of the sun. Again it blazed,
but for not so long period as at
first. Twice more this was repeat
ed, and then the diamond was total
ly consumed. This was the first oc-
casion on which, so far as is known,
a diamond has been seen to burn.

A Really Poor Author.

of Grub street he made the ac-
quaintance Of a poet named Samuel
Boyse, whose poem on the Deity
and other works had earned him
high praise. Boyse could not go
abroad to seek work because his
clothes were in pawn, so he lay abed
with his arms thrust through two
holes in the insective blanket, which
was the onl y covering, writing and
starving. johnson raised enough
money to get his clothes for him,
but two days later Boyse was in bed
again, eating a stew of beef and
mushrooms purchased by the re-
pawning of his suit. 81 might as

BURNING A DIAMOND.
Davy and Faraday Made One Blaze
Till 1t Vanished.

That diamonds will not only burn,
but will blaze, was proved as long
ago as 1914 by Sir Humphry Davy
and Michael Faraday. The expert
ment was carried out at Florence,
where the two scientists were visit
ing the great Duke Of Tuscany,
whose burning glass was the medium
through which the sun was induced
to operate.
This burning glass consisted Of a
couple of convex lenses, distant from
each other about three and half
feet, the large lens being some four
teen inches in diameter, the smaller
about three inches.
The diamond rested on rod Of
platinum which had a cup shaped
receptacle at the top pierced with
holes to admit of free circulation Of

ASCENT OF Pixies PEAK.
DR.. James Was the First Man to Set
Foot Upon the Lofty Pinnacle.

root upon tNe IoTty Finnacie.
Tradition relates that the early
American explorer who ascended
Pixies peak found there a rough
altar of blocks of granite that cover
the summit, erected by earlier Mex
lean explorers. The piety, the cour-
age, the curiosity, the adventurous
spirit, the thirst for gold--distin-
gushing characteristics of the early
Spaniards render it probable
enough that they explored the
neghboring mountains and that they
ascended to the summit of Pixies
peak.
History does not record any such
ascent, however. Captain Pike, as
he records in his diary, never as
cended the summit Of the grand
mountain, which is today his great
est monument. On the bleak No
vember day he and his party had
ascended the ridge in the southeast,
in the midst of a gathering snow
storm, and then gave up the at
tempt, he made this statement in
his diary:
"The summit Of the grand peak,
which was entirely bare of vegeta
ton and covered with snow, now
appeared at distance of fifteen or
sixteen miles from us, and as high
again as that we had assembled. It
would have taken a whole days
march to have arrived at it's base,
and | believe no human could have
ascended to it's summit"
The distinction of being the first
white man11and as far as historical
records go, the first man-who ever
set foot upon the lofty pinnacle, be-
longs to DR.. Edwin S. James, who,
with three unknown men and a vol
untecr named Harris, reached the
summit on July 1t, 1919. DR..
James was a member of the party
headed by Major S. H. Long, who
was sent out in 1919 by Secretary Of
War j. G. Calhoun, in charge of
can expedition from Pittsburgh to
the Rocky mountains"
The party followed the Platte
river from the Missouri, reached
the mountains in June and explored
the country along the range from
the Cache la Poudre to the Arkan-
sas, among the prominent features
mapped out being the great peak
head, the head Of the Cache la

Poudre, which today bears Major
Longs name. On July 13, 1919,
the party encampcd at the famous
"Tndian Medicine Springs" From
here DR.. James and his four follow
ers started to ascend, probably
through Engleman's canyon, what
he designated as the sShighest peak" "
Starting early in the morning, they
reached the summit about 4 o'clock,
and after an hours rest began to
descend, spending the night on the
side Of the mountain. They reach
ed the springs at noon of the next
day.-Colorado Springs Gazette.
