o oath it was." You may still see the

The almanac which hangs on our
walls to -day has an ancestry almost
as old as human records, At Pompeii
has been found a calendar, cut upon
a square block of marble, each side
of which contains three months of
the year, with the signs of the Zo-
diac; and even our much less ad-
vancod Saxon forefathers "used to
engrave upon certaine squared stick,a
the courses of the =seines of the
wohle yeere, festival days." and so
Ore
Thus through the ages every civi-
lized country had its alteanacs, which
grew more and more elaborate until
in the centuries that followed the
Conquest, they became. in monkish
bands, beautltul works ot art, with
rich illumination in gold and color
and with a wide and curious range at
information.
In an "Almanac for the .year
1.380," for example, we find among
the contents a chronicle of events
from the birth of Christ, notes on
nmedictue and blood-letting, "the
Rouses of the Planets and their Pro-
perties," and, a "description of the
Table of Signs and Movable Feasts."
When the printing press super-
seded the slow and laborious process
of writing and illuminating, the sup-
ply of almanacs naturally became
much more abundant, Tbe ftret print-
ed in England was "the Sheen-
heard's Kalendar" for the year 1497,
And in the Bodleian Library, at Ox-
ford. Yon naay see an"Aimauacke for
XII. yore," printed "in the yere of
the reyne of our most redoubted
Sovereayne horde, Rings, Henry the
VII."—e. fascinating little :volume of
fifteen pages.
How ambitious these early printed
almanacs were is proved by the in-
scriptions they bear, such as the fol-
lowing (in modern spelling) : "A
prognostication and an Almanac fas-
tened together, declaring the Disposi-
tion of the People and also of the
Weather, with certain Elections and
Times chosen both for Physic and
Surgery and for the Husbandman.
Also for Hawking, Hunting, Fishing
and Fowling, according to the Sci-
ence or Astronomy; with the Variety
of the Air and also of the winds, and
unfortunate times to Buy and Sell,
take Medicine, Saw, Plant, Journey,
etc,"
By the eighteenth century Britain
was flooded with almaues of every
conceivable variety. Francis Moore, a
quack doctor, launched his famous
"Voice of the Stars" almanac, which
Proved so popular that itssales soon
reached hail a million copies a year,
and which still flourishes after mare
than two centuries of life.
The "Ladies' Diary" followed with
"entertaining particulars peculiarly
adapted for the rise and diversion of
the fair sex."
Light on Fly's Wings.
The interference of light produces
the prismatic colors on a fly's wings.
When light falls on an excessively
thin substance, such as a soap bubble
or 'a film of air between two glass
plates, the waves of light reflected
from the upper and under surfaces
interfere with one another in a cer-
tain
order called "Newton's scales."
The iridescence of mother-of-pearl
is due to the reflection from minute
grooves on the surface, giving rise
to the production of color by the in-
terference of the waves of light. The
refraction of light and the production
of prismatic colors surround us with
the most interesting phenomena.
The laundress, whose work raises
over the washtub a soapy froth, per-
forms inadvertently one of the most
delicate operations of chemistry—
the chemistry of imponderable agents
—and the result of her manipula-
tions manifests itself in the delicate
colors that play in a fairy light over
the glassy films that follow the mo-
tion of her arms.
Green Diamonds.
Two discoveries of green diamonds
have recently been reported from
South Africa. The first, found in the
Bloemhof district, was a 5 ea -karat
stone, black and opaque, which,. on
cutting, yielded a jewel of 1% -karats
of. an emerald -green. shade. It has
been appraised by London experts at
about $35,000, or about 100 times
the price of a water -white diamond,
says the Engineering and Mining
Journal -Press. The second green,dia
mond was washed out at Parys, a
short time ago, and was of ten karats
weight. It has been sent to a Govern-
ment valuator at Cape Town. Ore
of the most celebrated green dia-
mends is -the "Dresden Green," in
the Saxon Crown jewels, which
weighs about 40 karats and is apple-
green in color.
A Fine Opal.
One of the finest opals of, modern.
times belonged to the Empress ,7os-
ephine, and was known as the "Burn-
ing of Troy," from the innumerable
flames which appeared to be blazing.

the heap by laying down a bed of
