DIAMOND DUST DEADLY
HERE 1s a widespread belief to-
day, not only among the ignorant,
but among those “who ought to know
better,” that diamond dust, taken in
ternally, is a deadly polson. The pol-
goners of the Middle ages and after
used diamond dust as an ingredient of
their lethal draughts and every now
and then today you will hear some
one say: “Diamonds are poison if you
swallow them.” Sir Thomas Over
bury was poisoned in the Tower In
the reign of James 1 by being fed ar-
senic and diamond dust, and his death
was sacrificed quite ag much to the
harmless dust of diamond as to the
deadly arsenic, Not many years ago
an attempt was made to poison the
Galkwar of Baroda
like
We find this belief in the poisonous
qualities of the diamond taken infer
nally extending far back in history.
But also we find that the diamond
was, paradoxical as It may seem, sup
posed to possess curative qualities of
great value, Applied externally it was
highly recommended as a cure for
fevers,
The diamond gets its reputation
ns a cure and as a poison from the
same fact—that of its resemblance
to jce—lce that won't melt, This
gave it the character among the ane
clients of a refrigerative stone of great
potency. Applied externally it reduced
the temperature and cured a fever;
taken Internally it froze the intestines
and produced death, The first of these
guperstitions we have apparently
lost; the second is still with us. The
idea which endued the diamond with
its refrigerative qualities Is akin to
that whieh produces the “doctrine of
signatures” by which plants were sup-
posed to indicate by their markings or
structure their particular place in
medicine,

Canaries Don’t Like Jazz
Those who breed and train ea
naries for the market say that the
feathered songsters will be wrecked
for life if they are brought up in a
jazz environment. The blare af the
saxophones with their syncopat %l mu-
gle not only spoils their voices, but
thelr tempers, Good music on the
plano or violin will help and inspire
them, but the jazzy staff is just about
fatal to thelr vochl prospects. If the
hot-baby ration does that to the lowly
and Innocent canary what will it do to
the musical nature of a youthful he
