It was next to learn that some little progress has found in the possession of Nicholas been, made towards setting out the nelsons of the problem and loolging at it with critical vision. Vor example, thennest obvious fact of all has been studied at last -the region Which goee Fougnets, Continissioner of finance, view was conviicte cl of enibezzelement and sentenced to life iniprisoarnent.

It used to be 1 d clow th 7t the th w•a a fail - 4 4 ail- t6 thi time it had been still further aa reason s ure of blood supply to the top of the head. It was pointed out that the two arteries which run their zigzag course up the temples were important blood channels to the scalp, : and that the long -continued pressure of a hard hat en these tended to close them. In su ear this view it was suggested thaen with broad heads went bald sooner., than ,,en with long heads the latter not tending to have so much pressure from their hats on their temporal . arteries. . This, 'however, by no means ex - planed the remarkable. "area of bald- ness." Then it occurred to the inves- tigatvr referred to above that the `urea of baldness exactly corresponds . t© the distribution of one of the sew - and Bowes. era 'neves whioh supply the' scalp -- the fifth nerve. The parts of the scalp whish- are not supplied by the fifth nerve do not tend, as a rule, to go bald .

The pair lived most unhappily, until she eloped with Captain Putman Bradlee Strong, son of a former mayor of New York. She figured in a second divorce, and loudly blamed the Hope diamond for all her woes. Lord Francis seemed to believe that the stone brought ill -luck, so he sold it to Joseph Frankel, a New York jeweler.

VICTIM . Is there anything in the super- stition that the Hope diamond brings bad luck to its owner? The .Jeweler' Circular 'Weekly says 'that there is not; y't there is some evidence that the gem is of ill -omen. This belief has been' cherished be many people acquainted with , the sinister history of the diamond' for several hundred years, and a few. days ago a tragedy, occurred that strengthened this conviction. • Nine- year old Vinson Walsh McLean was run over by _a motcir in. Washington and died .a few hours after -war 1. Little Vinson was the most famous child in the United States. Heir, to a tremendous fortune, he was called the "Hundred Milliesn• Dollar Baby." The 'eon of the Czar of Russia was not -lore je %louslyr guarded in the old days than. was Vinson Walsh MacLean. He heed in a sore of gold- en jails; guards followed him wherever he went, on the/ alert for kid- nappers.. Doctors] made long and complicated calculations as to what he should eat. P obably there were on, hand menials jo taste his food for hien. The ewspapers, • every -time a featui e st ry was wanted, would write up . McLean baby. One day shortly after he had been born his father bought ` the Hope diamond as a pre tint for his .wife• When reference was made to the ill -luck that invsriably seemed to follow it, he said that his luck had been too good to be impaired by a stone. His wife said 'that anything her huband gave her could not be unlucky. And now, - as a sob sister would put it, their little soil lies dead. Were ever cause and effect more smoothly I linked together? That Mr. McLean may have had some apprehension concerning the stone is indica ted;' in a clause he had inserted in the bill of sale -which •provided that if any disaster occur- red in his family; within six months after the phrchsae the prise• `Mould •be refunded. The vendor was P. -C. Cartier, ,and the price he received was not -the. real owner, but merely the ag=ent of the Sultan of Turkey, who is said to have paid $400,000 for it, but probably in promissory notes. The Sultan handed over the gem. to the royal jeweler for re - polishing, and shortly after finish- ing the job the jeweler es , put to death.. Abdul then l:# *=I -'ed the diamond upon Salina . Zubayda, s� favorite of .the harem, a short time before . he murdered her. Then came the Turkish revolution, and once more the jewel disappeared only to turn up in the trusty keep- ing of Habib, who had also an in - probable . story as to how it got inilo his possession. He sold it in Paris : '0 for 0.000. ' and shortly afterward it was purchased by the man who gold it to Mr. Mclean. Next!
