Merely to Demonstrate That the Gem Was
Inf1ammable.
How would you like to burn a two
carat diamond merely for the sake OF
demonstrating fact in science? Prof.
Henry Miles George, of London, who
is visiting friends in New York, did
that very thing two years ago. He
talked about it as follows:
What / did was not a new expert
ment," sand the professor, "and was
made at the request of a wealthy
young counryman of mine, who be-
heved that he was born to be a scien-
list. Whether he was or not is nei-
fhef here nor there. His first expert
ment was costly.
He wanted to satisfy himself that
the diamond possessed an infiammable
quality and that after being burned
1t left no residue We burned the
stone in my laboratory, and to the
young mans complete satisfaction.
After 1T was consumed there was alb
solutely no ash THE combustion was
complete, and an absolute. although
expensive, proof that the diamond con-
slstS of pure carbon.
The lnf1ammability of the dia-
mond, continued Prof George. "was
not known till the middle of the nine
Deenth century. The ancients were
nrmly convinced that a diamond could
not either be burned or broken. This
was diSproved in 1870 or whereabouts

was in Rome. The grand duke of
Florence, in 1884, thought that fire
would reveal the secret of the dia-
mond's composition, and he caused
stone to be placed under the focus of
concentrated sun rays. The diamond
cracked, coruScated, and disappeared.

understand, are not made very fire.

HIS GREAT LOVE.
William Visits Prince
Bismarck.
CHEERED BY THOUSANDS.
Popular Demonstration Could Not
Be Restrained.
THERE WAS NO BIG PROCESSION.
But the People Once More Testified
Their Joy at the Recon-
Citation.
THERE WAS NO BIG PROCESSION

FRIEDSRICHsRUHE, Feb. 19.-Auother
link has been forged in the chain of recon-
ciliation between the Emperor and Bis
marck. Emperor William left Berlin at
2:20 this afternoon and arrived here
shortly after 5 o'clock. In spite of the re-
quest by the Emperor that there should be
no demonstration the railway station and
the village were gsyly decorated. The
road to the castle was a long series of
arches. flanked on either side with Vene-
tian masts.
The Emperor, who wore a naval uni
form covered by dark cloak, stepped
briskly out of his carriage when the train
drew up at the platform and approached
Bismarck, who wore the curassier uul-
form, with helmet. and the gray military
cloak recently presented TO him by the
Emperor.
Warm and repeated hand-shakes were
exchanged between the Emperor and ex-
Chancellor. after which the former care
fully wrapped the gray cloak around the
Princes shoulders. Bisma rck having DOTTED
that garment just previous to greeting the
royal visitor. The Emperor and Bismarck
walked to the castle of FREDERICKSBURG,
followed by the Emperor's suite of seven
persons. Arriving at the castle the En-
peror greeted the Princess Bismarck and,
with the Princess upon his arm, proceeded
20 the salon OF the castle.
The Emperor congratulated Bismarck on
his hearty appearance and then introduced
the Prince to his suite. The dinner to his
Majesty was In private. Only twelve
covers were laid and neither Count Her.
bert nor William Bismarck was present.
The Emperor sat between the Prince and
Princess Bismarck. After dinner all con-
versed cordially, the Prince and the En-
peror smoking.
At 8 o'clock his Majesty rose and took
his departure. The ex-Chancelior accom-
panied him back 20 the station and he and
the Emperor shook hands several times
before parting. The Emperor sat at the
open window of his saloon car and waved
his hand frequently until the train started
few minutes after.
On the way TO the station the cheering
Of the crowds was incessant and tile En-
| peror repeatedly saluted. He remarked
10 the Prince that the people greeted him
as the ReichsgruendeI. AS the Emperor
train was about 10 depart the cheer Ing of
the crowd was almost frantic.
The farewell with the ex-Chancellor was
cordial in character. The Prince accom-
panied the Kaiser 10 the ear. and before
entering the Emperor said few parting
words. Returning home Bismarck was
almost carried off his feet and the rush
became sn great that the fire brigade had
to precede his carriage and clear the way.
Bismarck seems to be in much better
health since his reconciliation with the
Emperor than for long time past. In
Difference to the wishes of the Emperor
that no demonstration be made many
populations of veterans from Lueckatrei-
beck and elsewhere who had expressed a
determination to be present remained
| away.

NOT AS CHANCELLOR.
Yet Bismarck's Day of Power Will
Come Again

NEW YORK. Feb 19-The Worlds
Friedri chsruhe special says: Nothing posi-
tive can yet be learned on the subject of
the Emperor's private conversation with
Prince Bismarck to-day.
Still the Information the Worlds CORE
spondent possesses justifies the assertion
that the Emperor spoke on various politi-
cal matters. notably on the course to adopt
in case the Reichstag rejects the Russian
treaty.
From hints given the World correspond
ant he can also state that the Emperor
asked the Prince and Princess to visit him
during the spring at POtsdam.
The reconciliation is now complete, and
Bismarck's influence will soon be felt
again, but he will never again be Chan
cellor. although he could be tomorrow if
he wished to.
The Emperor will probable create an
entirely new Office for him at an early
date. In few days the Worlds CORE
spondent hopes to be able to make more
positive statement upon this matter.
DIR. Schweninger said to-day: THE
Prince has been In better health within
the last week or so than for years. His
years are weighing lightly upon him.
There is ten years good life in Bismarck
yet if he takes care of himself"

NO CRIMINAL INTENT.
Demurrer TO One of the Leonard
Indictments Sustained.

SAN JOSE. Feb 19.-Judge Reynolds this
morning In the Superior Court rendered deci-
sion sustaining demurrer TO one OF the lndict-
ments OF The Grand Jury against ii. NJ. Leon
ard, the Santa Clara County Bank wrecker
The demurrer was made to the indictment in

criminal intent in the making of the alleged
"false entry" An order was made submitting
the case TO another Grand Jury. Distinct Al
torney Scheller Immediately took steps 10 APP
peal 10 the Supreme Court from the decision
of the Superior Court. Nine indictments OF
ENLIGHTENMENT stu remain against Leonard.

hbit the Superior Court from trying the cases
on the ground OF want of jurisdiction.

ORGANIZING DEMOCRATS.
A Committee of Eighteen Complete
the Campaign Scheme.


The committee of eighteen to formulate a
plan OF government for the Democratic party In
the coming campaign completed their labOrs
last night, at their meeting in the Baldwin
Hotel. by adopting the report of the committee
relating to the government of district clubs.
1t was decided that fifteen shall constitute
quorum in each club. and each club shall select
the officers of election for the primaries When
no quorum is possible the chairman OF The gen.
eral committee shall call a SECOND meeting, and
then II the quorum Is still absent shall appoint
The election officers. This provision was made
In order o prevent factions from stopping the
election IL matters did not suit them.
The plan originally called for seven election
officers, TWO judges, two Inspectors and two
clerks, these 10 select the seventh. This was
changed 10 five, one Inspector. Two Judges and
two clerks. The majority OF the club will have
tie right 10 choose the Inspector aud a Judge
and clerk, the remainder 10 be chosen by the
minority. In the event OF two minority factions
each faction is 10 be entitled TO one officer.
G. Barbour wanted To Introduce the prefer
entail system as the means or choosing election
officers. A trial ballot " had, but the plan
was thought 10 be too cumbersome. A provis.
ion was added that no election officer shall have
any tickets on bis person after The polls are
closed under pain of disqualification The pro.
vision was added TO prevent stuffiDg.
Mr.. Barbour objected TO the entire plans as
too cumbei some and presented a plan for
eighteen local jurisdictions. but did not pre-
scribe any regul tons for he details of organi-
Ia ions or elections. de finally acquiesced In
The original plan. Watchers were also pro
vded for. to be selected by majority vote, the
three highest being the ones chosen
All primary elections will be held under the
State election law. AS soon as the amepded
plan Is engrOssed it viii be compared ana then

claimed the plan would result In pure cleo ions

was not received with great deal of favor.
