This. however could hardly be otherwise, under the excellent chairman. Inspector Camp- bell. who gave a fine address and presided in a winning manner. The pragramme, which was very fine,but perhaps lengthy to a fault, consisted of songs, recitations. dialogues, a seort speech by Rev. L. F. and very taking music by Ceylon and Proton orchestras, which vied with each other in pleasing the audience. The school was artistically decorated with evergreens, flags and mottos. Mr. Rydall and his pupils are to be congratulated upon the success of the event. The proceeds, at the small fee of 15 cents, were 829 45.

The novelist insisted on taking Gozlan to a contectioner who sold macaroni patties. Forgetting his hunger, Balzac plunged into an appreciation of Goo- per’s “Lake Ontario” (newly appeared). 7â€" -LL-..‘ ’1'. w â€"wâ€" Gozian noticed that the shop attend- ant, an English girl, had heard him address Balzac by name and was gaz- ing at the author as though fascinated. She was astounded presently by the appetite of genius for macaroni pat- ties, which disappeared by couples. “How much do I owe you?" asked Balzac. “Nothing M.

The experiment was carried out at Florence. where the two scientists were visiting the great Duke of Tuscany. whose burning glass was the medium through which the sun was induced to operate. This burn- ing glass consisted of a couple of con- vex lenses. distant from each other about three and a half feet. the large lens being some fourteen inches in diameter, the smaller about three inches. The diamond rested on a rod of platinum which had a cup shaped receptacle at the top, pierced with holes to admit of free circulation of gas. This rod was fixed in the center of a glass globe oi‘ twenty-two cubical inches capacity, exhausted of air and filled with pure hydrogen. Intense heat was brought to bear1 upon the diamond when it was ex- posed to the sun. the second lens greatâ€" ly reducing the focus. in the counsel of three-duarters of an hour it was necessary twice or thrice to cool the globe. Then it was noticed that the diamond was slowly diminishing and becoming gradually opaque. Suddenly it burst into flame. They removed the stone from the focus. and it blazed away merrily. it glowed brilliantly. with a scarlet light inclining to pur- ple. and continued to burn for about four minutes. The glass was then cooled and the diamond again submitted to the action of the sun. Again it biased. but not for so long a period as at first. Twice more this was repeated. and then the diamond was totally consumed. This was the first occasion on which. so far as is known, a diamond had been seen to burn. q, . ""W ,- o.

You'd better try it.” “Were you very hungry when you went in?” asked his friend. ‘ “As a bear." said the man. “Go back some time when you are not so ravenous." his friend advised. “and see how you like it then. I make it a point never to experiment with a restaurant recommended by a person who was very hungry when he ate there. To a person who is half starved anything tastes good.” He Was Very Cool.
