Making Diamonds.

The microscopic diamonds recently
made by M. Henri Moissaa are not the
first real diamonds made by the chemist.
Some years ago, Mr.. Hannay, of Glas'
Cow, succeeded in making a few small
gems, and another Glasgow chemist not
long ago announced in an American
scientific journal that he was making ak
periments in this direction, and had OBJ
tanned promising results. Moissan, how
ever, was the first to form a gem by
means of the high temperature of the
electric furnace, though the idea of doing
so is not exactly novel. Moissan obtains
a temperature of from 5000 to 1000 de-
grees Centigrade is his electric cruc'
IDLE, and fuses iron or silver, which alb
serbs the carbon of sugar. When the
fused metal oools, part of the carbon
separates from it again in the form of
crystals, black or whitehall is to say,
black diamond, or carbonate, and ordi.
nary clear diamond. The Capitalization
seems to be facilitated by pressure, which
is produced by the expansion of the sugar
carbon as it cools. The diamond crys-
tails were exceedingly minute, and quite
unfit for jewelry. Moreover, the process
is very expensive. Manchester Times.

Curing q Cold.

Just beneath the surface Of the skin,
ell over the body, there is a network Of
minute blood vessels, finer than the flu
est lace. When one is chilled, the blood
is forced from these capillary vessels into
one or more of the internal organs, pro-
ducing Inflammation or congestion, and
thus often causing diseases dangerous to
life. Tho mouths of numerous little
sweat glands are violently closed and all
Impurities which the glands ordinarily
carry of are driven back to the blood.
Just as soon as a chill is felt which closes
the skin glands, steps should be taken to
open the glands. As soon as any one
feels that he has taken cold, he should
put his feet into hot water as hot as caa
be borne, and containing a tablespoonful
Of mustard. "Hsve it in a vessel SO
deep that the water will come up we'll
toward the knees" urges the Boston
Journal Ct Commerce. "Throw a
blanket over the whole to prevent rapid
evaporation and cooling. 10 from five
TO ten minutes take the feet out, wipe
them dry, and get into a bed on which
there are two extra blankets. just be-.
