Sure Test of Diamond.

The fact that real diamonds are
phosphorescent after being treated In
the following manner is said to make
the following test a sure one: First
of all, expose the stone for a few min

Then rub briskly on wood or metal.
Now take it into a dark place when
the diamond will glow brightly, This

Enormous damage was done by

The storm broke Monday. IL

was inundated. A small tidal
wave accompanied the wind
