MOLECULAR LIFE IN DIAMONDS
Gems Declared to be Masses of Enor-
mously Active Atoms.

New York Herald.
If you think your polished dia-
mOnd is mere aggregation of in
animate crystals YOU are away
wrong. If you imagine that its
cOmpOnents are devoid Of orderly,
coherent motion, you are equally
mistaken. 1t has come to pass
that we are given to understand
that diamonds are masses Of active
molecules. Inasmuch as every
compact body is composed of null
titudes Of exceedingly small yet
not indistinguiShablC molecules,
it might be concluded that in a
solid, at least, those particles would
be clustered together in an indiVis-
ible mass. This theory as applied
to diamonds is incorrect, and has
been completely ovcrthrown by
the researches and experimental
tiOns OF Sir Robert Ball, of Liver
pool. The facts set forth by Mr..
Ball with reference to the struct-
urC Of the diamond are fascinating.
He asserts that were the senSibil-
ity Of our eyes increased so as to
make them a few million times
moro powerful it would be seen
that the diamond atoms, which
form the perfect gem when aggre-
gOted in sufficient myriads, are
each in a condition Of rapid move
ment Of the most complex descrip-
ton.
Each mOleculC would be seen
swinging to and fro, with the ut
most violence, among the neigh
boring molecules, and quivering
from the shocks it receives from
encounters with other molecules,
which occur millions Of times in
each second. The hardness and i'm
penetrability so characteristic,
would, at first sight, seem to refute
the suppOsition that it is no more
than a cluster of rapidly NOV
ing particles; but the well
known impenetrability of the
gem arises from the fact that,
when an attempt is made to press
steel point into a stone, it fails,
because the rapidly moving mole
cules of the stone batter the metal
with such extraordinary Vehe-
mence that they refuse to allow it
to penetrate or even to mark the
chrystaliZed surface.
When glass is cut with a dia-
mOnd the edge which seems so hard
is really composed of rapidly NOV
ing atoms. The glass which is cut
is also merely a mass of moving
molecules, and what seems to hap
pen is that as the diamond is
pressed forward its several par
ticles, by their superior vigor, drive
the little particles Of glass out of
the way.

After this the victim would re-
ceive a circular, in which it was
set forth at great length that the
sender had heard of the one to
whom it was addred as a "shrewd
and thoughtful man." who could
be relied upon and who might en-
terrain a proposition to "handle my
goods" 1t asked the recipient to
destroy the circular secretly if he
could not entertain the chance of
making money in pleasant and

The circular usually concluded
by the invitation for a "face to

purchaser Of the stuff would be
seen away in safety with the
goods" that no money was asked
for in advance, and said
"My prices are as follows $500

600; $1,000 will buy $4,000. DO

1t usually landed the victim in

swindled.
M'NALLY' ARREST.
MCNally has been clever enough
throughout nearly the whole of his
career to keep out Of the clutches
of the authorities, but in December
1891, he was arrested by federal
officers on a warrant issued in the
previous May, which he had
evaded during the intervening
months.
Complaints had been received
that the gang Of "green goods" men,
of which McNally was the head
had located at Gloucester,
n. j., and three of the gang
were arrested and convicted,
four trunks filled with green
goods circulars having been found
in their possession. McNally heard
of the warrant almost the moment
it was issued and eVaded arrest by
travelling about the country, being
heard of in Chicago, Cincinnati,
Philadelphia and this city a vari-
Gus times. Detectives were put
upon his track when it was learned
that he had returned to this city
for the winter, and he was cap
tured as he was about to take an
elevated train at Grand street and
the BOwery.

Recent discoveries have demonstrated that
all the organs Of the body are under the con-
troll of the nerve centerS, located in or near
the base of the brain, and that when these are
deranged the organs which they supply with
nerve fluid are also dcranged. When it Is re-
membered that a serious injury to the spinal
cord will cause paralysis of the body below
the injured point, because the nerve force Is
prevented by the injury from reaching the
paralyzed portion, it will be understood now
the derangement of the nerve centerS VIII
cause the arrangement of the various organs
which they supply with nerve force.
Two-thirds Of chronic diseases are due to
the imperfect action of the nerve centerS at
the base of the brain, not from deranGe-
ment primarily originating in the organ It
self. The great mistake OF physicians IN
treating these diseases Is that they treat me
organ rather than the nerve centerS which
are the cause of the trouble.
DR.. FRANKLIN MILES. the celebrated spe-
cialiSt has profoundly studied this subject Tor
over 20 wears, and has made many important
discoveries in connection with 1t, chief among
them being the facts contained in the above
statement, and that the ordinary methOlS OF
treatment are wrong. All headache, di2zI-
mania, melancholy, insanity, epilepsy, ~.
