Artificial Diamonds.

Professor Maskelyne's positive state
ment that the method of producing dia-
monds chemically has been discovered,
does not admit Of much doubt or dis
cussion. He is, probably, the highest
living authority on precious stones; and
Just as his dictum quashed the claim re-
Gently preferred by Mr.. McTear, so does
it now sustain the claim preferred by
Mr.. Hannay. Probably the diamonds
produced by this ingenious Scotchman
are of no value as gems-mere tiny
scraps of crystallized carbon. But even
in this form they will be of great value
commercially, being as useful for gem
cutting and polishing as natural dia-
monds. For n little while, therefore,
the jewellers with diamonds in stock.
the well-to-do folk who own diamond
rings and necklaces, will not be dis
turbed by the depreciation of their
property upon their hands. In the long
run, however, the depreciation is GER
tain to come. If Mr.. Hannay has dis
covered the principle in accordance with
which the transformation of carbon into
diamonds is effected, the perfection Of
the process is inevitable. While the
useful arts will reap great benefits from
this triumph of modern alchemy, TO
nance will suffer. For the children O
the next generation the story of uin
dab's excursion into the valley of dia
monds will have no charm ~ PhtIadeI

Words of Wisdom

Good will, like good name, is got by
many actions and lost by one.
Convey thy love to thy friend as an
arrow to the mark, to stick there; not
as a ball against the wall, to rebour =.
back to thee.
Self devotion is but form of gener-
osity: the generosity of those who give
to themselves, having nothing more and
nothing better to give, and belongs
equally to the nobler natured of both
sexes.
1t is well enough to be humble, but
it is possible to boast of your humanity
until it sours into the worst kind of
selfpride. There is hardly a virtue in
the calendar which a man will not lose
| if he talks much about it.
Whatever your sex or position, life is
battle in which you are to show your
pluck. and woe be to the coward!
Whether passed on bed of sickness or
in the tented field, it is ever the same
fair flag, and admits ofno distinction.
Without earnestness no man is ever
great. or does really great things. He
may be the cleverest of men; he may be
brilliant, entertaining, popular; but he
will want weight. No soul moving
