Discoverer of Diamonds

The discoverer of diamonds is un-
known. From reference in Exodus it
is apparent that the diamond was a
precious stone in Egypt in those early
times; and even before that 1t was
known in India, where probably it was
first obtained, states a writer in the
Cleveland Plain Dealer. The name is
derived from the Greek word, "ada-
mas" meaning unsubduable, referring
to its hardness, and later was written
"diamas" in Latin. From .Pliny, a
writer of the First century, it is
learned that the diamond was regard
ed as the most valuable of all things
and but few kings even could afford
to buy them. But as no means of arti-
fetal polishing had been discovered
the stone deprecated in value, so the
ruby and emerald became more pre-
cious. The discovery by Ludwig van
BerQuen in 1476 of a mode of cutting
and polishing it at once returned this
gem to first place among the precious
stones.

History Of Karl.bad Recalled


A museum in Karlsbad has relics
that bring back the 500 years history
of this famous spa. Karlsbad, accord
ing to legend, was founded by Karl
Nv, king of Bohemia, who wounded a
hart with his arrow while hunting in
the district All trace of the hart was
lost, but later it was discovered bath
ing its wounds at well. The water
of this well, being examined, was
found to have healing qualities.
Scenes of the early days of Karlsbad
are shown in pictures, among them one
of Wallenstein's entry during the Thir-
ty Years war. Ancient literature
about the spa includes a "Tractatus
de Thermis Carroll Quartz" from 1921.
The collection of local art includes the
Karsbad china goods, glassware and
the work of local goldsmiths and there
are many "reminiscences of famous
guests, such as Schiller, Goethe, Tur-
genieff, Bismarck.

Many ladies' must remember wear
ing, in the 70's of last century, an
article of dress known as "gari-
baldi," writes George Eyre-Tood in the
Glasgow Herald. AS a mere man can
remember it, this was sort of shirt
blouse, buttoned down the front, and
ending with belt at the waist. It
was not garment merely named after
the famous Italian guerilla chief, but
was a reproduction of the garment
actually worn by him, as shown in his
portraits. The vogue Of the wearing
Of the garibaldi was a result of the
furore of enthusiasm for the Italian
patriot which swept over Scotland
when he paid it VISIT in 1863. Fol-
lowing wildly romantic career as
sailor, filibuster, drover, shipbroler,
teacher of mathematics and naval COM
mander, he had freed Sicily from the
tyranny Of the Bourbons.

Speedy Vacationing Minus
the Happy Recollection

The exodus to Bermuda reminded
a man named Ben Boldt Of a trip he
and another young man took to Ber-
muda. The ship was to sail at mid
night, and after an evening of pleas
ant dissipation in New York they
went on board. Before turning in
they had several rounds of drinks in
the ships bar. An accident of some
kind delayed the sailing and the next
morning when Mr.. Boldt's companion
awoke he looked out the portfolio
and saw the New York docks. He
swore a mighty oath and clapped his
hand to his brow.
Bermuda for a week and back
again and 1 don't remember a thing
about the entire trip" he exclaimed.

Timing Iron and Steel

Tools and parts of black iron and
steel can be timed to resist rust. by
the following easy process. The metal
is first cleaned by immersing in raw
muriatic acid (burns flesh and fabrics)
until the metal turns white. Following
this. cut muriatic acid is mixed by
dropping bits of sheet zinc into raw
muriatic acid until no more zince will
dissolve. The iron is then immersed
in the cut acid, which will deposit a
zinc film upon the metal surface. The
object is then dipped into molten tin,
solder or lead, which will adhere to
it. Muriatic acid is obtainable from
drug stores and druggists supply
houses.

Use of Word Iris

Inc word Iris is one used in two or
tnree ways. In connection with Greek
mythology Iris was worshipped as q
messenger of the gods. and was a par
ticular assistant to the goddess Juno,
queen OF the heavens. She is usually
pictured as a graceful maiden, winged
ana resplendent. The rainbow was
closely associated with her, and poets
pictured 1t as the path on which she
ascended to the gods with messages
from Olympus. Its sudden appearance
meant that Iris needed it for a path
way-when the message was delivered
IL disappeared. Occasionally she is rep
resented with a rainbow above her.
Sometimes the rainbow Is called the
sash of Iris.

Jeb Braddon, young and Enthusiastically
successful broker of Chicago, is infat-
mated with Agnes Gleneith, beautiful
daughter of a retired manufacturer.
Rodney, doctor. in love with Agnes,
visits his brother, Jeb. Rod plans work
at Rochester. Jeb suggests that he
make a try for Agnes before leaving.

decency than in Jeb. Rod visits Agnes
and tells her of his great desire, but
realizes 1t can never be fulfilled. Agnes
mother Is attempting to regain her hus-
bands love. Agnes has disturbing
doubts as to what attracts her father
in New York. Jeb tells Agnes he Is
going to marry her, and together they
view an apartment in Chicago. Jeb asks
Agnes to set an early date, but she tells
him she cannot marry him. When the
agent, Mr.. Colver, offers to show them
a furnished apartment, Jeb asks Agnes
to see it alone, saying he must return
to his office. Agnes consents and Jeb
leaves. A radio is blaring terrifically
from one of the apartments. Colver
raps upon the door, which Is opened
by a scantily clad girl, who draws
Agnes into the room. Colver finds her

He calls the police. Myrtle Lorrie asks
