prennrinr Straw For seutehlne.

One of the lately invented mechanical
devices for the better preparation or
working Of fax and hempen fibers is a
"breaker," which is employed for break
Ing the straw before it passes TO the
scutching machine. Formerly breakers
consisted Of a number OF pairs Of rollers,
sometimes as many as 10, but instead OF
merely breaking the straw they crushed
it, 30 that the ensuing scutching process,
in which manual labor was used, was
long and tedious and involved much
waste. This waste is now avoided, as
the straw can be broken without any in
Jury 20 the fiber. The new breaker
turns out II tons Of straw per day and
enables largely increased yield OF
scutched fiber 30 be obtained.
1t is said that four men can scutch BY
means of this improved device as much
as eight men could do by the old break
ers. The weight of the machine il about
half ton. and IL takes about u horse
power TO drive it. BY adopting special
construction one pair Of rollers is made
to do the work Of two or three pairs OF
ordinary make, and thus considerable
saving in driving power is effected. OF
the various sets Of rollers used, the third
pair revolye at very high speed, IL to
10 times the speed Of the first and sec
ond, and by this means a large portion
Of the woody part of the straw is remov.
ed and driven from the fiber.-St. Louis

POPULISM AND THE FUTURE or ORE
Con.

The future Of Oregon Is worth con
sldering In connection with the politi-
cal situation. How will elections
affect our state for ten or twenty year,
to come? What interest ave the cIti-
' ns who have con here aud sacured
homes to live aud help develop the
Oregon of the future, In a POIuiist vic.
tory? Have our young men and women,
wa, - fortunes are yet to be made, any
well founded hope in Popullsm? Has
the owner Of property, the business
man, the factory, the farm or the mine
any well defined expectatl n Of al i'm
improved condition growing out Of the
Peoples party? Has common day Ia
bor any hope in P"pulism
Ii Is true we are suffering from man!
evils and are in need of reforms. Bu
Is not that always the case? Could We
not have worse times and gr, ater evili
than we now suffer under? The POpu
list says not. He preteuds to be able tt
solve the labor pr, blem, depressed price {
OF farm products, c,osed factories
financial stringency, labor idle, 10y hi,
one nostrum Of fiat money and govern
ment loans to the people. In congress
the Populists vote for free trade 0nC
fiat money, to further depress industries
and depreciate silver.
What have our young men to hoI
for from Popullst triumph In Oregon
Nothing, but paralysis Of business
and a prostratiOn of enterprise thai
would not be overcome for ten years
Not new factory or mine would b'
opened, not dwelling or business
block would be built that could b,
avoided. Money would not come into
the state aud what IL here that could b,
shipped away would be sent for fear o.
crude legislation. Oregon would lie
come the tail Of kite that no Longer
flies In any state where 1t has been
tried.
The future OF Oregon requires any
thing but Populist victory. Th,
first voters club at Salem, numbering
sixty or seventy young men, including
almost every young man In the citS
who casts his first ballot, contains N,
Populists. They are Republicans
They belong naturally to the party O
intelligence and hopefulness, the party
OF progressive ideas and conservativ,
instincts, the party OF devotion I,
American industries. The future oI
Oregon lies In the party OF hopefulness
not Of calamity aud despair.

Artificial Diamonds.

NJ. II. Moisan has been busy with his
slcctric furnace in Paris. He has OBJ
fained silicide Of carbon, Sic, in large
crystals by heating the elements to-
gether and also by reducing silica with
carbon. The crystals are regular hexa-
CONS, and when free from iron colorless,
put generally yellowish from the pres
auce of iron and occasionally blue like
sapphire Moisan has also obtained some
true diamonds with the aid of his fur
naCe.
Some time ago he showed that when
carbon is dissolved in various metals at
the ordinary pressures it always crystal
ii2es out as graphite on cooling, but that
under increased pressure the density and
hardness Of the separated carbon in
creased, and sometimes black diamonds
were formed. BY modification of his
former process and by dissolving the
carbon in iron under pressure, cooling
the solution of carbon in molten iron by
pouring II into molten lead and dissolv-
ing away the lead and the iron, he has
obtained transparent, colorless crystals
Of carbon These have density of 8.5,
scratch rubies, burn in oxygen to form
pure carbon dioxide, and, moreover, show
some of the physical poculiarities of nat
ural diamonds, including occasional
spontaneous disruption. London Athe-
nmum
