Makin Diam

The microscopic diamonds made by M.
Henri Moissan are not the first real
diamonds made by the chemist. Some
years ago Mr.. Hannay of Glasgow sue
ceeded in making a few small gems, and
another Glasgow chemist not long age
announced that he was making expert,
ments in this direction and had obtained
promising results.
MOissan, however, was the first to form
a gem by mean 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 degrees centigrade in his electric
crucible and fuses iron OF silver, which
absorbs the carbon of sugar. When the
fused metal cools, 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 crystallizatiOn seems to be facili-
tated by pressure, which is produced by
the expansion of the sugar carbon as it
cools. The diamond crystals were ex-
ceedingly minute and quite unfit for
jewelry. Moreover, the process is very

The English Language.

Professor Vambery has been ~lecturing
N the Fashion of Languages before
the Buda-Pesth English club. English,
he said, may be called the most
fashionable language in all the five parts
Of the world. 1t began to spread in the
first decades of the century through Eng
lish literature, and in Asia by means of
accelerated communication. Steamers
were the wings Of the English language
in the far east, and its spreading from
India and the straits settlements to Chi
ma and Japan is simply miraculous.
There is no e~xaggeration in saying
that the number Of English speaking
Asiatics amounts today to 5000, 900; that
OF Europeans to more than 1000, 900, and
these, added to the 1926, OOO, 900 Anglo
SaxOns, give a total of English speaking
men and women of 1870, 900, 900. Should
the increase continue in the same proper
ton, the middle of next century will
have 200, 0OO, 900 English speaking per-
sons, and the English will have no rival
in the world besides the Chinese.
PhOnetically English is unsuitable for
the foreigner, and the lecturer declares
he always suffered acute pain in the jaws
when speaking publicly in England and
trying to initiate genuine English. The
phonetic difficulties are, however, amply
rewarded through the expressiveness, the
rare precision, vigor and exactness in
which English surpasses all other Euro
pean tOngues.-London News.

English Field Sports.

The matter Of wire fencing and the
kindred difficulty of dealing with i'm,
mense fields Of horsemen are SO often
.hrashed out in the papers devoted to
field sports that it is not necessary to
enter into them here. Masters of hounds
are now willing to pay for taking up
wire before the hunting season begins,
and to put it down again in the spring.
The difficulties caused by large fields
will have somehow 70 be overcome,
either by ceasing to advertise meets or
by making it understood chow, perhaps,
it is not very easy to say that those who
come out will have to pay for their
sport, an idea which, while it is COM
monty acted upon by residents, is often
overlooked by visitors.
Field sports in the British islands are
for the most part artificial, but hunting
Is entirely so. If it was not for the ten
der care which, in England at any rate,
Is taken Of the fox, he would soon become
as extinct as the wolf. Coyerts are plant
ed for him on dry sunny hillsides; his
breed is improved by judicious crossing
with strangers from the north, and in a
good hunting country keepers are sup
posed at any rate to look after his ON
fort and to consider him almost as much
belonging to their family as do their
pheasants. In a district which is suita-
bic in every way for game, but which is
not preserved, it is always exceedingly

BIunders of Well Known Writers.

Time would fail to tell of the thou
sands of anachronisms made by authors
Of every station and every grade Of rep
Inability. The Chambers Encyclop8-
dia says that the fame of BeaumarchOis
rests on his two operas, LIE Barber de
Seville" and lie Marriage de Figaro"
when everybody knows that Figaro"
was composed by Mozart to the libretto
written by CAST, and that the "Seville
Barber" came from the fertile pen of
Rossini. In Nicholas Nickleby" Dick
ems makes Squeers send the boys out in
midwinter to hoe turnips, while in the
tale of Two Cities" he confOunds the
names of Samson, the French executiOner,
with Samson, the Jewish judge.
Longfellow calls Erigena a ScOtchman,
whereas the meaning Of the word signi-
fes an Irishman, and in The Two An
gels crowns the death angel with anna
ranth, the flower emblematic of life, and
the life angel with asphodels, the flowers
Of the grave. Victor Hugo in Les Ira

the middle Of the story a character whom
he afterward reintroduces and Of whom

The Railing Passion.

the most TnInark23! De instance ever
heard Of, and which illustrates 50 forci-
bly, the ruling passion said Judge jeff
Pollard to The Man About Town, "was
a case in which | figured last week. I
was called to write a will for a gentle
man in this city, then on his deathbed.
He was always a cautious, economical
man, and had accumulated some prop
erty and money. After the death of the
owner there were several heirs to the
property, ali of whom were anxious to
have the sick man make a will dividing
1t as he saw proper.
Il called at the house and the will was
duly written and signed by the old man,
who was held in the arms of his friends
while the trembling hand traced his
name upon the paper. After he was laid
upon the bed he motioned me to hold
my head so l could understand him, and
in a piping, tremulous voice he asked,
What do you CHARGE:
"A voice at my elbow said softly, Tell
him a dollar or two
"A dollar or two I shouted in his
ear. He was very deaf.) All right
said he, If it had cost any more l
wouldn't a-had it DONE he gasped. The
death rattle had already begun in his
throat. His fingers were purple and the
shades Of death We're already settling
upon his face; yet with all this, his greed
was as manifest as when most busy in
the accumulation Of the property.
Il got my $40, though" said the Judge,
but he never would have paid me more
than $1.'-St. Louis Republic.

Getting Measured For a Gun.

a fact which is not generally known
outside of sporting circles is that a gun
ner who seeks to do the best work he is
capable Of requires to be measured fol-
his gun in the same way as he would be
for his suit of clothes. To facilitate this
operation, a new adjusting gun has beer
devised. The bend and castOff Of the
gun are adjusted by means of screws,
and the points of each are placed in
grooves running parallel to the line OF
the butt. The length of the butt is also
adjusted by screws in the heel. The
length and bend of the stock a in this
way be regulated to the length Of neck
and arm of the shooter, as well as to the
various special requirements to which
his style of shooting may give rise

AN oRAToRIoAL RIP VAN WRINKLE.

In his address on coeducation, deliv-
cred ut Wabash College, on Wednesday,
Mr. John A. Finch does not make him
self quite clear on all points. He is
strongly opposed to coeducatlon, but
declares that there should be no such
thing as the woman question" in ex-
istence. The latter proposition is one
in which the advocates of cOeducation
are in agreement with him. and, as O
step toward this desirable end, they
wish young women to have equal edu-
cational advantages with their brothers.
Every move in this direction Is one to-
wards doing away with the question that
so irritates Mr.. Finch. When all
schools are open to men and women
alike there will be no woman question,
SO far as educational matters are con-
cerned.
In another phase of the subject the
speaker is out of date. 1t is fiction
very pleasing to masculine vanity that
the curriculum of colleges open alone
to male students is so severe that it is
mastered only by the greatest physical
and mental stIain-but it is q fiction.
1t is also a mistaken notion that the
higher schools and colleges for girls are
less exactinR in their requirements than
those for boys. 1t is matter of care
full scientific record that girls complete
the advanced courses in these institu-
tions without loss of health. and that in
coeducational schools they maintain
their positions IN the classes with no
greater effort of mind and body than do
their brothers. Students may over

those governments which have them

our ships are cruisers rather than the
heaviest iron-clads designed Tor the
capture of ports. If such ships are so
frail that they are destroyed by acct
dental collision, New York and other
seaports need not fear them longer, and
should not use them when their resi-
dents are seeking appropriations for
elaborate coast defenses. The greatest
danger of half dozen of such ships in
a fleet would be the danger of self-de-

an impossible degree. With the lhysi-
cal exercise and training that are now q
part of all well-managed schools. and
with the wholesome interest in out-of-
door sports now so common among
youth of both sexes, there ia little dan
ger that women will suffer the fearful
cost" Mr.. Finch anticipates.
But, although there should be no
woman question, he declares that there
is human question. 1.-THE man." he
says, somewhat platitudinously. "who
is father OF happy, healthful children
must be in the army Of bread winners.
The woman who is mother of happy.
healthful children must, to speak fig
uratively, belong to the army of bread
makers" This is safe and unQues-
tionable proposition. but is foreign to
the subject in hand. unless he believes
that education tends to destroy the nat
ural human instinct in woman-he GER
tainly will not hold that education is
conducive to celibacy in manor, unless
he believes that woman who elects to
be wife and mother needs no educa-
ton to speak of. But, even if his possi-
BILE theories are correct. all rules have
exceptions. Circumstances sometimes
interfere with the ideal condition and
make it necessary for women to become
bread winners. Are they to have no
education wherewith to aid them in the
struggle? 1t occasionally happens that
man, the natural bread winner" neg
lects to assume the responsibilities
which would permit some woman to at
tend to her heaven-ordained duty of
bread making. While Mr.. Finch is
using his influence to deprive women of
educational advantages he should see to
it that every man does his duty by offer
ing some woman bread. making oppor-
tunities. t
The problem puzzles the gentleman
somewhat. and he finally turns it and
the woman over to the Lord: "Seek We
first the kingdom of God and His right
eOusness, and,all these things shall be
added to YOU" Even here the applica-
ton is not clear. Piety is not incom-
patible with learning nor learning with
piety; but if a woman have righteous
ness it by no means follows that educa-
ti0n will be one of the things added.
1lliteracy and righteousness frequently
go hand in hand, fortunately for those
| to whom colleges are closed. Before he
