It Is One of the Curiosities of the
Mineral Kingdom.
A PUZZLE TO SCIENTISTS.
Nature Hat In Some Peculiar Way
Produced This flare Form of Carbon
and Then Thrown Away the Secret
of the Procesa Found Only In Brazil.
The term "black diamonds'' Is some
limes Jokingly applied to ordinary coal
Which we burn in our furnaces, but
the real "black diamonds" of com
merce are among the most uuique min
eral products of the world, aud they
serve n purpose in the Industrial world
that makes them of great value.' The
black dlamouds are pure carbon and
yet In no outward appearance resem
ble the diamonds which we are accus
tomed to wear as ornaments. They
are slightly harder than the crystal or
gem diamonds aud. In fact, about the
hardest substance tnuwn.
Black diamonds, or carbons, are
among the greatest curiosities of the
mineral kingdom. They are without
crystalline form and are found in Ir
regular pieces, ranging In size from
half a carat up to three, four and five
hundred carats. Tbey ore dark gray,
black or brownish In color and opaque.
The real diamond of the Jewelry trade
Is also pure carbon, but translucent
and crystalline In form. Two objects
co alike In composition could not be
found so opposite In appearance as
these two forms of carbon.
Another peculiar thing about the
blQcldtnmonds Is that they are found
only In one locality In the world. They
come from a very small section of Bra
zil not more than 2?5 miles square In
area. Outside of this limited territory
do pure black diamonds have ever
been found.
What peculiar freak of nature caus
ed the deposition of the black dla-
monds in this section of the world and 1
nowhere else is one of the mysteries
Which science has failed to explain.
None of them has been found in the
great KImberley diamond regions,
W-here the crystnl form of diamonds
have, for so long been mined.
The whole origin of the black dia
mond Is, therefore, a scleutlHc enigma.
Naturally the question Is raised, "Of
what use is a black diamond?" No
one would core to wear one of these
diamonds, which resembles a piece of
coal more than a real diamond, and so

i gems as t!ie black pearl has been.
Nevertheless the black diamonds serve
a most Important and useful function
In the Industrial world.
This pure black carbon Is not only
harder than the real diamond, but
tougher and not so brittle as the gem.
consequently it is or great vaiue ror
many mechanical purposes and partic
ularly for boring with diamond drills.
In diamond drilling the tips of the
drills are studded with carbon, or
black diamonds, and wbeu the bores
are deep the pressure Is so great that
the gem diamonds would be crushed In
the process. Hut the carbon resists
this continued pressure and slowly
eats down into the rocks. i; N
In diamond drill work- the carbon is
set In circular pieces of soft steel or
Iron, called bits, and these bits are at
tached to tubing- Armed with these
black diamond teeth, the drills push
their way down under severe pressure '
- to. a depth of Bve and six thousand
feet, cutting through the hardest kind
of rock. Some black diamonds are
much harder than others, and there Is
no way to determine by the color the
difference in the degree of toughness.
Black diamonds or pure carbon are
not by any means cheap, and the own
ers of the mines in Brazil where they
are gathered are making a good thing
out of their monopoly. There Is no
known substance that can take
place of carbon In drills In boring for
gold, silver, copper and other mineral
deposits. Before the black diamonds
of Brazil were discovered it was tm
possible to make borings. v
When the carbon was first lntroduc-
ea in our Industries It was used in
diamond saws for cutting stones, mar-
Die and similar substances. Tbfh the
price nd vu need so that the curboti was
found too costly for such use. and boit
was substituted for stone cutting. Bort
Is really an Imperfect crystal or gem
diamond, but it Is too brittle for use
In drills. Consequently bort has tuk-
the place of blnok diamonds for i
stone cutting, and the hitter buve b'eeu
restricted almost entirely to diamond
drilling purposes. )
' The average size of black dlamouds
used In the drills ranges from two to
ive carats, but the larger speciuieus
xlve much better results. They cost
'more, but they last longer. Conse
quently there is a greater demaud tor
the larger pieces of pure carbon, and
tile price is sometimes run up to pre
mium' figures for unusual specimens.
, The fear that the supply of black
diamonds may some day give out and
paralyze the diamond drilling Industry
bas Mtimulated prospectors to syste
matic search for new deposits, but so
far they have not been successful. On
the other band, scientists have been
muklng a close study of the chemical
conditions which have produced the
black diamonds, but their manufacture
to apparently about as difficult at the
snaking of the gem diamonds. It Is
possible under certain conditions to
lake either, but not In sizes sufficient
to be of any commercial value. Na

tbese rare products and then thrown
Hjbe secret of the procesa away. If any

FOOTBALL TANGLES.
Queer Situations That' Have Developed
on the Gridiron,
In the fall of 18i)0 Young, the' Cor
nell quarterhack-.-receivi'd a bad bump
on the bead during the first half of
one of the early games aud was so
dazed that he gave the signal for the
same play eight times in succession..
The rival eleven, uuable to compre
hend such generalship, or, rather, lack
of It, became Just as bewildered as
the Injured quarterback and iu the ef
fort to understand the unintelligible let
the Cornell backs through for a quick
touchdown.
The culling out bf numbers while the
opposing quarterback is trying to give
his team the signal for the next play
has resulted In numerous tangles. In
one of the Army nnd Navy contests
the quarterback of the latter eleven be
came so confused In one instance when,
the Army players were shouting out"
various numbers while he was trying
to direct the next play that he actual
ly gave bis men one of the scries of
uumbers the Army men were suggest
ing. The incomprehensible signal and
the subsequent tnixup may be better
imagined than explniued.

cheese ond rye bread. He fulled to get
away with all of It and threw a hunk
of the cheese off to one side. It hap
pened to drop-on a natural shelf, and
a few months Inter the boy found
the cheese still there. He saw that It
had undergone a constitutional change,
for Instead of being dry and hard It
was moist and creamy. Besides, there
were veins of greenish mold running
through It. The boy took a nip, aud
the taste was so pleasing he carried a
crumb borne to bis mother. She must
have been a woman of intelligence,
for no sooner bad she tasted thau she
took one of the largest rolls of cheese
from ber dairy, had her sou guide her
to the cavern and placed It on the
shelf. In due time the same change
was wrought, and Itoquefort cheese
had arrived as an article of com
merce. All the natural caverns around
the quaint old town uow are used for
ripening cheese, and the women work
in them witb small oil lamps strapped

BIRDS' NECKS.
It's the Number of Bones In Them
That Makes Them Flexible. )
Tbe flamingoes were making their
afternoon toilets In tbe big Hying cage
at the Bronx too tbe other afteruoon,
says a writer In a New York paper
A crowd of children and grown people
were looking on nnd exclaiming with
admiring wonder at tbe way these
birds were twisting their long necks
about into all sorts of corkscrews and
curves when one of tbe ornithological
experts came along and stopped to
watch the performance.
"It's the larger uumbcr of bones in a
bird's neck, not the length, that make
It so flexible," be remarked. "There
are twenty-three 'bones In the neck of
aswan, for example, and a few more
In that of tbe flamingo. It seems that
tbe smaller tbe animal organism the
larger tbe nuuibol of tieck bones. The
giraffe, for instance, has only seven
bones in bis long neck, which has a
reacb of nearly twenty feet from the

THE PLEBEIANS.
Their Secession From Rome and Their
Rise to Power. (
Plebeians were the commons of
Borne, who were originally forbidden
all political rights. They were for tbe
most part poor and were not allowed
to Intermarry with the patricians.
Tbey served In the army, without pay
and were sold Into slavery for debt
and could even be cut Into pieces for
distribution among their creditors.
Finding their condition intolerable,
the plebeians In 497 B. C. seceded to
Mons Sacer, near Home, where tbey
resolved to build a new city. But this
step so alarmed tbe privileged classes
that they granted to tbe commons the
right of annually choosing from their
own numbers two magistrates, called
tribunes, with power to protect them
against tbe aggressions of the patri
cians. After the lapse of about 200 years
the disabilities of tbe plebeians were
almost entirely removedf and between
the years 350-300 B. O. they secured"
the dictatorship, the censorship and
the praetorshlp as well as the right to
be pontiff and augur. Thus the no
man republic, after two centuries of
existence, finally secured a democratic
form of government. New York

Sweat and Perspire.
It Is possible to tell almost exactly
when the more elegant '"perspire"
drove out the vulgar "sweat." Ac
cording to a writer In the London Gen
tleman's Magazine In 1791. "for some
time past uelthhr man, woman nor
child In Great Britain and Ireland of
any rank or fashion has been subject
to the gross form of exudation which
was formerly known ns 'sweat.' Now
every mortal, except carters, coal
heavers and chnlrmen, merely 'per
spires.' Far these twenty years past
the word 'sweat' has been gradually
becoming more and more odious."
Before 1770 or so "perspiration"
commonly meant an insensible process,
"swenting" the grosser variety there
of. In one of bis sermons Wesley re
marked that "during a night's sleep a
healthy tmyi perspires one part in four
less when he sweatsthan when he
does not." That would be meaning
less today.

Negtect or pessimism, we believe,
is the greatest enemy the public haov
