THEORIES AS TO DIAMONDS Many Causes Put Forward for the Breaking of the Hardest Stone Known to Exist. Much attention has been given to the question of the origin of the humerous broken fragments of dia- monds found in the Kimberly mines. One hypothesis is that these frag- ments owe their condition to violent eruptive outbursts that shattered the rocks in which they occur. Another common bellef is that certain classes of diamonds frequently break spon- taneously. One authority states that Ught brown, smoky diamonds often crack on exposure to the dry air, but they will remain intact if kept in a moist place. In accordance with this notion there is a popular story of South African diamonds being sent to England inside potatoes. Another authority seems to at- tribute the fractures to the sudden lowering of pressure in the space sur- rounding diamonds and speaks of consequent explosion. He states’ that he has met persons who have heard of the bursting of smoky diamonds, but none who ever witnessed this phe- nomenon with his own eyes. This idea of the bursting of dia- monds | of great antiquity. Albertus Magnus says that a diamond Immersed in'the fresh, warm blood of a goat will burst, especially if‘ that animal had previously browsed on parsley or drunk wine, Pliny vonchsafes a similar notion. The majority of modern authorities be- lieve that, in most cases, the breaking of diamonds has been due to the energy exerted by the mineral inclusions which they .so often contain. These are most frequently garnet, but some- times zircon, ilmenite, iron pyrites and possibly chrysolite. The thermal ex- pansion of nearly all crystals, except those of the beryl! family, at ordinary temperatures is much greater than that of the diamond. If the same Is true under intense conditions of heat and temperature, differences in the rate of expansion and contraction of the diamond and its inclusion would account for the shattering —Washing- ton Star, ’ —— 7, 4 TP OWL “STOOPS TO CONQUER” Only Two Lessons Needed to Teach Dog the Wisdom of Leaving the Bird Unmolested. Not long ago, writes a contributor, I learned of the tactics of a certain owl in defending itself that were both amusing and interesting. Whether the method is common among owls, I do not know; the bird practiced tt on more than one occasion. The owl was a great big-headed crea- ture captured in the woods and tted with a rope to a stake in the yard. Its enemy was the dog, which seemed to thMMk that it was a common fowl. Of course the thing to do was to bark and to frighten it into flight. But bark- ing had no effect whatever except to make the dreadful eyes glow more brightly and to produce a sort of sharp snapping that seemed to come from the bill, which was almost hidden among the feathers. After some time the dog made a fierce run. Not a move did the owl make. Not @ feather twitched; but the eyes glowed like fire, and snap, snap went the bill. Suddenly just as the dog came close the bird went over on its back In a heap. It was an undignified position surely, but there was a pur- pose in It. The dog, assuming that the strange bird had fallen upon the ground in fright, dashed up and thrust his nose among the feathers. Instantly steel- like claws, sharp as knives, fastened upon him and with a yell of terror and pain he tore loose and ran for his life. Solemn and apparently harmless stood the owl as before. It was too much for the dog. An- other rush brought him again within reaching distance of the strange enemy. Once more the bird fell on its back, and once more the dog thrust his nose into the feathers only to feel the cruel talons sink into his tender nose; with a yelp he fled. From the shelter of the porch he viewed the strange bird— no longer a dignified barn fowl, but a dreadful monster to be let absolutely alone.—Youth’s Companion, ALWAYS RACE OF WARRIORS Roman Historian Paid Tribute to the Fighting Qualities @& the Picts Early In History. Picts is the name by which, for five and a half centuries—296 to 844 A. D. —the people that inhabited eastern Scotland, from the Forth to the Pent- land firth, were known, In certain chronicles they are styled Picti, Pic- tones, Pictores, or Piccardaig—all forms of the same root; but sometimes the native Gaelic name of Cruthnig is applied to them, and their country called Cruithen-tuath, the equivalent of the Latin Pictavia and Old Norse Pettland, which still survives in the name of the Pentland firth. In their wars in Britain the Romans came into collision with the Picts. One Roman or Latin writer of that time speaks of “the Caledonians and other Picts,” which implies the inclusion of the for- mer in the latter people. The well- known Roman historian, Tacitus, calla Scotland north of the Firths of Forth and Clyde, Caledonia, and he describes the Caledonians as a noble race of barbarians, who fight in chariots as well as on foot, with long swords and short shields, and whose fair red hair and large, limbs argued a Teutonic origin. The Highlanders of today are ot Celtic origin. The prefix, mac, mean- ing son of, is from the Gaelic. Haughty Capitallst. The laboring man of 70 years ago was pretty well: satisfied. Labor troubles in this country were almost unheard of then, though at. infre- quent intervals an employee would find & grievance agairfst his employer, That of the machinist whom Mr. A. B. Far- quhar tells of in his book “The First Million the Hardest,” is certainly amusing, viewed at this date. One afternoon, says Mr. Farquhar, a machinist came to us in high dudg- eon from another shop and asked for a job. We wanted to know, of course, why he had left his old place. “It was this way,” he said. “The boss was out walking with a lady the other night, and I passed him and sald, ‘How do you do, Harry?’ And the next day he came around to me and suld, ‘When I am out walking with a lady in the evening I don’t want you to speak to me.’ I won't work for a man who acts that way!”—Youth’s Companion, Dante’s Gift of Rhyme. I wonder if we are able to appreciate Dante’s marvelous gift of handling his instrument, the Italian tongue? In a fanciful picture in which all the Rhymes come as maidens praying Dante to do them the honor to take them into his service, Benvenuto da Imola gives us to understand that Dante did not omit a single rhyme of which the Italian tongue is capable, This boundless facility of use of the liquid Italian tongue is one of the! things that give Dante a charm to the | Italian, which is, perhaps, lost to all but the delicate Italian ear so at- tuned to melody.—Thomas Nelson Page. . She-Knew Hubby. Uncle Henry had died suddenly, and a distant relative was offering her condolences to the widow. Finally the ' lady got to the point where she felt she could decently ask a burning question. “And what did poor Henry leave?’ she inquired, sweetly. “Leave?” snorted the widow. “He Jeft the chicken house only half gust_as I told tim be'd do.” painted, Ne ere ae bee Only *34.32 Round trip from Cottonwood to Yellowstone Park See Geo.
