More piamonds Made by MoIssan.

NJ. Moissan, the distinguished French
chemist, has made some more crystals OF
diamond by plunging the electric cruel
BILE containing the carbon at tempera,
ture of 1900 degrees centigrade into cold
water. The diamonds thus obtained
scratch rubies and burn with the pro-
duction of carbonic acid gas, but the
largest only weighs six milligrams. M.
Moissan has, however, sought more
sudden cooling, free from the .phenome-
non known as the spheroidal state, by
which the water does not really touch
the hot crucible. He has employed mol
ten lead instead of water and obtained
triangular diamonds some half MILL
meter in diameter. Some are striated,
others rounded. as in the case OF certain
natural diamonds, and they sometimes
break up after time. NJ. Moissan has
also made a few which are to all appear
ances the same as the ''crapauds" OF the
ieweler. Globe.

leading engineering journal makes
ort . good case for the scheme of pump

.bot If will be adopted for practical
liking The system embodies the re-
s,ction of all coal at the mines to the
form of impalpable dust at cost of 3
to5 cents per ton; the separation from
tba coal by one of the present washing
nrocesses of all free sulphur, pyrites,
Slate. ETC., at the cost of another b cents
nor ton: the mixture of the coal powder
With about its own weight of water, thus
converting it into sort of black milk,
ond the pumping of it in that state to
any desired market, as oil now is pumped.
When the mixture has arrived thus
far it is deprived of most of its water in
preat settling basins, but as much as .
IN 10 per cent of the fluid is left in the
mixture. which in that state is pumped
short distances only to points of con-
sumption, where the remainder of the
water may be dried out by the otherwise
waste heat. The capacity per day of "a

speed of five miles per hour, is about 3D.
600 long tons, taking the coal conveyed
at 351 pounds per cubic foot OF mixture.
At 1900 pounds pressure for pumping
stations 80 miles apart A inch pipe would
carry 800 tons daily; an 8 inch pipe, 1924;
12 inch pipe, 5,12O. The total coal con-
sumption of New York city averages
considerably under $4,000 tons per day;
the New England states burn about 90
per cent more than this; the whole Unit
ed States, nearly 20 times as much, in
round figures, so that comparatively few
pipes would suffice to handle the whole
coal supply of the country. The evapo-
ration of the water from the coal dust
presents no serious difficulty.
This system opens up again the ques-
tion of the comparative value of coal
dust for fuel. While in many cases coal
dust is commercially valueless, in others
it cannot be replaced by any other form
of coal for real services-for instance, in
the manufacture of fuel or other gas, the
making of stiff coke, the mixing with
iron ore dust before coking, to the great
Improvement Of the product both in guam
tity and quality; the remedylng OF the
smoke nuisance, as the dust mixed with
air is blown into the furnace, and the
maximum combustion is secured, and
generally wherever coal is burned mere
" to generate heat in properly designed
combustion chambers. The inventor Of
the pipe conduction of coal claims, ano
apparently with good reason, that it ef
fects great saving in cost OF transmis

INCREASED GOLD RESERVE.
Liberal Bids Made for the New Bond
Issue.

The United States treasurer received
word this afternoon that the Southern Ma
tional Bank Of New York drew 100000 in
gold from the New York subtreasury to-
day. The only withdrawal yesterday was
$4,000 by Charles Hathaway & Co. These
two Withdrawals makes the total loss Of
gold since notice was given Of an issue Of
bonds about s55OO.OOO. all but sl.OOO.OOO Of
which was taken out Dy New York bank
ers. The treasury cash balance today is
500, SIS. 6S4 Of which $57, 996. AIS is in gold.
The gold balance shows an increase since
yesterday Of S254,OOO, which was received
in the ordin lry course of business.
There is no longer any doubt that the
bids for the new loan will far exceed the
limit Of the issue and that the rates will
be liberal. Bids for over $O,OOO.WO have
been already received, and several large
bids are expect ted in before noon tomorrow,
the time fixed for opening. 1t is predicted
that the offers will exceed $I5,OOO,0W and
will reach almost 100000 900. II this proves
to be so the Secretary will have considera.
BILE latitude in making the allotments to
the best interests Of the government. Ac-
cording to official figures, the price to be
paid on the bonds so as to realize 3 per
cent in addition to the interest reckoned
from November / to the date of payment,

HIS THROAT WAS CUT
Winfield Smith the Victim of Murderous
Assault,
Seriously Injured Last Night I'm Lee
Droit Park - His Assailnnt
Not known Yet.

Last evening about G o'clock there was a
serious and perhaps fatal assault COM
mitted on a colored man in LIE Droit Park.
The wounded man is in the hospital, but
his condition Is so serious that he Is I'M
able to give the police any inform alton
concerning the name Of his assailant or
the cause of the trouble. Winfield Smith
is the name of the wounded man. He is
between twenty-five and thirty years old,
and lives at No. o Johnson's court.
AS already stated, the affair happened
about 6 o'clock, at Maple avenue and 9th
street, the wounded man receiving a severe
wound in the throat, from the effects Of
which he would have bled to death had lie
not made haste to Criswelrs drug store.
corner of Florida avenue and 9TH street
MIR. William Z. Henderson, who lives at
No. pa Maple avenue, was present when
the affair happened, although he did not
know the extent of the mans wound until
later.
He saw two colored men standing near
the corner mentioned when he came along
on his way home. The men were engaged
in a dispute about something. and Mr..
Henderson thought he might gather from
the Quarrel the cause Of the dispute. But
he failed to do so. for he had been there
only a short time when he heard one Of
the men say: TN kill you, You -
Following the words. Mr.. Henderson no.
ticed a motion made by one of them, as
If he hal cut the other mans throat.
The victim, who proved to be Smith, ran
off in the direction of Florida avenue, while
his assailant went the other way.
A few minutes after the occurrence the
negro with his throat cut entered the drug
store and received medical treatment. His
left carotid artery had been severed by
the sharp instrument used by his ad-
versary.
The police patrol wagon from the eighth
precinct soon arrived at the drug store
and conveyed the dangerously wounded
man to Freedman's Hospital.
When ne reached the hospital he was al
most dead from loss of blood and was I'M
conscious.
The police were at the bedside of the
wounded man several times to get hat in
formation they could in oraer that they
might arrest his assailant. but owing to
his serious condition they had obtained
nothing from him this afternoon.

THE CONTAGIOUS HOSPITAL
Commissioner Boss Thinks Objections to
the Site Selected Needless.
The Character of Diseases to BE
Not to BE q Pest House.

But few persons appeared at the District
building today to present objections
against the site for the contagious disease
hospital. 1t is generally understood that
until after the meeting Monday night no
definite action will be taken in the matter.
At that meeting 1t is expected that plan
of attack will be mapped out
Commissioner Ross, speaking for the
board OF Commissioners today with refer
ence to the hospital site. said: 1T seems to
me the people are becoming needlessly
alarmed over this matter. 1t is not the
purpose OF the Commissioners to build on
the site OF the purchase a pest house.
where all sorts OF malignant diseases are
to be treated. but a hospital for minor
diseases. such as malaria, scarlet 1eVer
and diphtheria. Such a hospital the Com
missioners believe cannot be Objectionable,
and certainly will not depreciate property
adjacent to it. Why. right here In the
city we are not afraid to live next door TO
a house in which there Is diphtheria anu
scarlet fever. The medical society has al
ready said there was no danger In IT, Inc
Commissioners have no desire to hurt any
one In this matter. Amy one UNDERSTANDS
the necessity for q contagious disease nos
pital, but some people have got Inc iuea
that We propose a pest house upon the site
we have purchased. This Is an absolutely
false impression. and 1 wish you Wouiu
in your public interview this afternoon
make this point explicit. ,
Nov, as to the reason which promoted
the Commissioners to select the site IN TINS
particular subdivision. In the first place.
we " ere told by the medical fraternity
thatN was absolutely important that the
contagious hospital be built upon site
that was convenient to the center or the
city; that would have facilities for water
light and sewer, and that 1t should be hign
and well drained. The site selected has all

built and the people understand that only
the malignant form OF contagious disease
will be treated there all objections will be
removed"
