According to this wie, it appears that a pontleman hav- ing a large diamond subjected it to the sun's rays for an hour, and afterwards to a dark room, where it emitted sufficient light to render a piece {of white paper visible. The tradition of ithis power of the diamond is very old and has been worked into romance, 1 (think, by Bulwer. This article reminds me of an experiment of which I was an eye witness, some twenty-five years ago. Capt. Samuel Dewey, formerly well (known as the man who decapitated the {figure of Gen. Jackson on the frigate Constitution, while lying in Boston Har. {bor, called upon me one day, and, allud- {mg to the tradition, said he had in his {possession a very large dismond and {would like to try the experiment. The (eity had a short time before introduced the fire-alarm telegraph, and we obtained | permission to use their battery to obtain the desired light, which was done by placing the ends of two wires near to- gether and running a continned stream of electricity from ome to the other, Ao- jcordingly one eveming we repaired to ‘the office of the telegraph company, and owing wer of diamonds to ab- & * in ffi | the current was out off and the room left perfectly dark, but the diamond had {become quite luminous and emitted light for some ten or fifteen minutes, when it ‘gradaally faded from sight. I have never been ables to obtain any satisfactory ex- planation of this phenomenon, but should be very glad to hear a scientific reason for it.

The following anecdote, as nar. rated by one of the officers of the Swal- low, is told at some length in the Naval Chronicle, xxifi., 106: “In the gallant and sanguinary section there was a ses. man named Phelan, who had his wife on board. She was stationed-as is nsnal when women are on board in time of battle--to amsist the surgeon in the care of the wounded. From the close man. per in which the Swallow engagel the enomy, ysrdarm and yardarm, the wounded, as may be expected, were brought below very fast; among the rest, a messmate of her husband, (con. sequently her own,) who had received a musket ball through the side.
