M A RRIED BY PROXY.
No Lf Than Three Q,neena Have
- Thus Acquired Their Titles.
f One of the queerest features of court
life in Burope is the marriage by proxy
of royal personages. There are at the
present moment no less than three
royal ladies who have been thus wedded
the queen regent of. Spain, tbe dow-ag-er
queen of Portugal and the ex
queen of Xaplcs.
v Kings and reigning sovereigns are
ield to be too important personages to
be married anywhere else than in their
own dominions. On the other hand,
it is held to be infra dignitate for a
spinster princess of the blood, who is
about to blossom forth into a full
fledged queen or empress, to travel
abroad in quest of a consort.
In order to meet this difficulty the
roj-al or imperial bridegroom delegates
one of the principal nobles of the realm,
who goes t hrough the religious and civil
portion cf the v. cdding ceremony in the
capital of the bride's country oa behalf
of his mas ter, making the responses for
him and tendering Ins hand, as well as
the ring, at the prescribed points of the
:eremony. He then accompanies her
to his muster's dominions, acting as her
chief escort.
According to tbe ideas of the Roman
Catholic church, a ceremony of this
liind is sufficiently binding upon the
bride and upon the royal bridegroom to
render any further ceremony, ecclesi
astical or civil, supcrfii-ous. and when
any additional religious function takes
place it usually assumes the form cf a
t "TeDeum''ar.d a sclcinn benediction, at
tended by both husband and wife im
mediately on the arrival of the latter in
the capital of her adopted country.

HER TWO NARROW ESCAPES.
Had, Sever Been Away from Home
Bat Wu nearly Drowned Twice.
They were telling stories of the dif
ferent dangers they had undergone Toy
rail, water and other methods of travel
ing, and the girl who had never been
very far away from home decide:! that
it was high time she asserted herself.
So, after a short period of concentrated
thought, she sat tip straight in her
chair with a satisfied smile and took ad
vantage of a momentary pause in the
conversation to put in her long-neglected
oar.
"Weli," she said, proudly, "I know
what it feels like to almost die by
drowning, anyway; I've been nearly
drowned twice."
"When'.' Where? How did it hap
pen? I thought you'd never been, away
from home," chorused all her listeners,
in amazement, and the last speaker lost
no time in plunging into her 6tory.
"I never was away from home," she
related, with great glee, "but I've been
nearly drowned twice, just 'the same.
The first time was two years ago, when
a party of us went out to one of the
South side beaches one evening, r.nd I
bad a lovely time until nearly the last.
I couldn't swim, you see, so 1 was pull-
ig myself out by the guarding rcpe,
d I had got quite out of my depth
Ivhen one of the girls threw some water
at me. We were all splashing each other-merrily,
you know,, and nothing
would have happened if I hadn't had
my mouth open to scream just then.
As it was, the water went down my
throat and nearly choked me. I let go
of the rope and sank, and as we were al
most out of the range of the electric
lights I nearly drowned before they
realized what had happened. That was
the first time I came near to death by
water."
"Oh! And the other?" queried the
girl with a tendency to scoff at other
people's stories. "Was it as dramatic
as that experience?"
"Quite, if not more so," replied the
storj- teller, unmindful cf the veiled sar
casm in the other's manner, "and it hap
pened at that very same beach, too.
I was hanging on the rcpe that time,
too, and having a perfectly gorgeous
time, when the rope suddenly sank
down beneath the water, aud I went
with it. I had just sense er.ough, re
membering the other experience, to
hold onto it, though, end presently, just
as I began to lose eoneciouscesn, the
rope' came up to the surface again, and
I was saved at the very moment when a
man on the shore was taking of? his
shoes to come to my assistance. He had
seen it all, and, I tell ycu, girls, he was
perfectly lovelv, too; I've got his card
yet.
"What made the rope sink? Oh, a fat
woman was balancing herself across it,
trying to swim, you know, and her
weight depressed it awfully, cf course.
When she fell oft up it came, and me
with it, all right and safe. But it was
an awful narrow escape, just the same.
I'd have been dead in another minute,
and as it was I felt sick for a month aft
erward. I was so scared. And I can
just tell you this, girlies, it's an awful
thing to come so bear to death by
drownlng." Chicarro Times-Herald.
THE MAKING OF DIAMONDS.
What the Prodcct of tbe Laboratory
Looks Like.
At the Royal institution recently,
Mr. William Crookes delivered a lecture
on "Diamonds." He said that, thanks
to Prof. Moissan, diamonds could now
be manufactured in the laboratory
minutely microscopic, it wr.s true, but
with crystalline fona and appearance,
color, hardness and action on light the
same as the natural arem. The first
necessity was to select pure iron and to
pack it in a carbon, crucible with, pure
charcoal from sugar. Half a pound of
this iron was put into the body of tle
electric furnace, and a powerful are, ab
sorbing about 100 horse power, formed
close' above it oetween carbon poles.
The irca rapidly melted and saturated
itself with earbon. After a few min
utes' heating to a temperature above
4,000 decrees Centigrade, the current
was stopped and the dazzling, fiery
crucible plunged in coid water until it
cooled below a red heat. Iron increased
in volume at the moment of passing-from
the liquid to the solid state; hence the
expansion of the inner liquid on. solidi
fying produced an eiicrmeiis pressure,
under stress of which the dissolved ear
bon separated out in a transparent,
dense, crystalline form irt fact, as dia
mond. To obtain the diamond from the
metallic ingot required a long and
tedious process of treatment with vari
ous stror.g reagents, and the specimens
thus obtained were only microscopic.
The largest artificial diamond yet made
was less than one millimeter across.
Many circumstances pointed to the con
clusion that the diamond of the chemist
and the diamond of the mine were
strangely akin in origin, and the dia
mond genesis mtirt have taken place at
great depths tinder l:ijh pressure. How
the great diamor.i p'pes came into ex
istence was not d;:culttc understand.
After they were pierced they were filled
from below, and the diamonds, formed
at some epoch too remote to imagine,
were thrown out with a mud volcano,
together with all kinds of debris eroded
from adjacent rocks, According to an
other theory the diamond was a direot
gift from heaven, conveyed to earth in
meteoric showers, and the so-called vol
canic pipes simplj holes bored in the
earth, by the impact - of monstrous
meteors. London Times,
