The manuscripts of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries are in many cases almost igegible on account of the fad- ing of the ink. At that time the lamp black inks passed out of use and chem- lcal inks became popular. A Delicate Mechanical Feat. An expert tool juggler in one of the great English needle factories in a test of skill performed one of the most delicate mechanical teats imaginable. He took a common sewing needle of medium size (length one and five- eighths inches) and drilled a hole through its entire length from eye to point, the opening being just large enough to admit of the passage of a very fine hair.

With 'the exception of Lord Palmer- ston, who was over 70 when called to the position of Premier of Great Bri. tain, Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman takes office later in life than any other of his predecessors. Sir Henry is 69. Mr. Balfour was 54 when he took up the reins of power from the hands of 'the late Lord Salisbury.

Cookbook 0! 1705. Attention was called to the sugges- tion that the diamond is a gift from heaven conveyed to the earth in me- teoric showers. According to this hy- pothesis, said the lecturer, holes were bored in the earth by the impact of. monstrous meteors, the larger masses boring holes, while the smaller masses, disintegrating in their fall, distributed diamonds broadcast. “Bizarre as such a. theory is," ob- served the great scientist, “I am bound to say there are many circum- The Hanging Judge. Lord Norbury was cvmmonly known as “the hanging judge.” “Ah, my Lord, give me a long day." implored a pris- oner on a certain 20th of June. “Your wish is granted,” said Lord Norbury. with a leer; “I will give you until to- morrow, the longest day in the year." Counsellor O’Grady tells us that the only occasion on which Lord Norbury was known 'to weep was at a performance of the “Beggar’s Opera," when a re- prleve arrives for Capt. Machcath! Curran had a sly hit at this side oi the judge‘s character one day at dinner. when the former was carrying a joint of corned beef. “Is that beef hung. Mr. Curran?” queried the Chief Jus- tice. “Not yet, my Lord,” was the reply, “you have not tried it.” Lord Avonmore was a judge who irritated Curran by continually anticipating his arguments. “Mr. Curran,” he would say. “I know your cleverness, but it is quite in vain for you to go on. I see the drift of it all, and you are only giving; yiursn‘f and me unnecessary trouble.“ One day. after being stepped in this manner. the counsellor said: “Perhaps, my Lord. 1 am straying, but I have just witnessed so dreadful a. circumstance that my imagination has not yet recovered from the shock. On my way to court. my Lord, as I passed through one of the markets ” “Yes. I know, the nsiie Market.” struck in his Lordship. “EY- actly, the Castle Market; and on pats- ing one of 'the stalls I noticed a buzcilex proceeding to slaughter a calf.

Is not uncommon for a diamond to explode soon after it reaches the surface; some have been known to burst in the pockets of miners or when held in the warm hand, and the loss is the greater because large stones are more liable to explode or fly in pieces than small ones. The lecture abounded in interesting passages. Here is one: “Valuable stones have been de- stroyed in this way, and it is whispered that cunning dealers are not averse to allowing responsible clients to handle or carry in their warm pockets large crystals fresh from the mine. By way or safeguard against explosion, some dealers imbed large diamonds in raw potato to insure safe transit to Eng- land." By the end of 1904 ten tons of dia- monds had come from the Kimberley mines, valued at £60,000,000 sterling. This mass of gems could be accom- modated in a. box five feet square and six feet high.
