years time by using the active in
stead of the slothful horses As
the most of farm work is done
at the walking gait, it Is then
the duty of the farmer To look after the
walking qualities Of the horses he
breeds as much as it is for those who
breed fasthorses to look after the speed
producing qualities of the horses they
rear. While much depends upon the
training of a horse as to whether he is
fast walker or not there is great
deal in the breeding. Some horses are
naturally fast walkers. and. like natu-
raj fast trotters or PAGERS, can stand to
work at their natural gait much
better than those which acquired
the habit of walking fast by
being pushed. Active, energetic
horses. with an inclination for getting
over the ground with strong. square
walk, will be more apt to produce colts
that will be success in this direction
than clumsy horses with sleepy dispo-
sitions. and these points should be con-
sidered when selecting for breeding
purposes. A1ricaituroi Gazette.

NATURE OF DIAMONDS.

Chemical Composition OF the Gems and
How They Are Formed.
The exact mode of formation of dia-
7onds is one of natures secrets, for
though scientists have been able to un-
derstand the chemical nature of the
diamond by analysis. the reverse pro-
cess. its manufacture by synthesis. has
thus far been far beyond their skill.
We know what diamond is, but how
nature makes it the careful dame has
not yet permitted us to learn. The
diamond is Of the simplest chemical
composition, being pure carbon. Char
coal is pure carbon also, but the secret
rocess by which nature rearTanges
the atoms of the LACK. lusterless
charcoal into the form of the flash
men of matter. is one that even long
hope on the part of the chemist, stimu-
lated by the honor of great gains, has
not been able to discover. Nor is it
certainly known from what depart
ment nature takes the diamond-making
material Ii is generally supposed
that it is furnished by vegetable char
coal, which uDdergoes peculiar pro-
cess of decomposition and crystalliza-
ton, but it has also been conjectured
that the carbonic acid, shut up from re-
mote periods in the calcarous rocks,
may have solidifed in this perfect form.
Sir David Brewster, from a study of the
polarization of light in the minute
cavities of the diamond. has concluded
that the substance was once in a soft
state, and, by the actions of an expand
ing gas or fluid within, its small eavi-
ties. which refract the light to such a
remarkable degree. are formed. He
regards it as certain that the original
softness of the diamond was not caused
by either solvents or heat. and there
fore concludes that the diamond, like
amber. is a vegetable substance slowly
crYstallized into its present form.
