Diamonds as a w aste Product.

That the manufacture of hard steels
may be attended with by-product In
the shape of diamonds is considera.
ton which has not yet been reduced to
any practical element, and one that
may cause some surprise. Yet, strictly
speaking, the statement Is true. Sew
eral years ago M. Moissan proved that
when iron was saturated with carbon
at a temperature of 1900 degrees Cent?
grade, and afterward cooled under
heavy pressure, portion Of the carbon
separated out in the form of minute
crystals, which were found to be true
diamonds. In the Complies Rendus'
1t is stated that ii occurred to NJ. Ros-
sci that the conditions under which
very hard steels are now made should
result in the formation of diamonds.
He examined a large number of steels
now made, and found that his theory
was supplemented by fact. The dia-
monds are obtained by dfssolving the
metal, and then submitting the residue
to the influence of concentrated nitric
acid, fused potassium chlorate, hydro
fiuoric and suiphuric acids respectively.
The diamonds obtained are almost mi
croscopic in their dimensions, it is true,
but they present all the physical and
chemical properties which distinguish
the true gem.-Industries and Iron.

Of Departed Ones canceied.
Private letters from Kioto bear proof
that the Japanese have their own way
OF doing things. They recently had q
new issue Of postage stamps which
bore portraits Of two OF the princes who
died In the recent war. Stamps of 2
and 8 sen were to be issued. In the
United States one porunit would have
been on the 2-sen stamp and one on the
b-sen stamp, but In Japan 1t was thought
that this would be discriminating
against the memory of the one pictured
on the lower denomination.
This is why philatelists find that
there are two new 2-sen and two new
6-sen stamps-each denomination hav-
ing one kind In memory OF each prince.
But even this careful arrangement did
not prevent new trouble. Some con-
sentative Japanese are contending that
it borders on disrespect to the imperial
family to pollute their pictures with
saliva and then to blotch them with ink
In the. process Of cancellation.
One man has declared In the papers
that he shall decline to receive any
mail matter bearing these stamps
Some postmasters have requested that
they be allowed to put the canceling
mark only on the edge of the stamp,
so as to avoid defiling the princely
faces. To old-fashioned japanese 1t is
especially displeasing to see foreigners
putting portraits representing men Of
divine descent inSo their mouths and
putting them on the envelopes with as
much Indifference as we employ with
the faces of Washington, Franklin and
Grant on our stamps. Some Japanese,
II they use the stamps mt all, must
reyerently lift them to their head, care
fully wet the glue with pure water and
then utter prayer as they attach them
to the envelope.
Did 1t ever occur to an American that
1t was discrimination to place n por-
trait on a lower denomination stamp?
If this matter ever was discussed it
was probably agreed that the greater
honor went with the cheaper stamps,
which are in wider and more general
use. AS for attaching any respect to
them-do you know, without looking,
whose pictures are on our various
stamps ?-BOston Journal.

The Burro Is Tough.

Lieut.. p. g. Lowe, Fourth Infantry,
has just completed tramp of eight
hundred and fifty miles from Eel Paso,
Texas. to Fort Clark, Texas, to test the
utility of the burro for transportation
purposes. The burro carried baggage
varying in weight from one hundred

seventy-five pounds. and the average
daily journey was eight miles. The
maximum distance covered In one day
was twenty-six miles. The burro was
permitted to choose its own gait. Lieut..

Handel's Humor.

slah' in Dublin, Dubourg led the band.
and one evening had close to make
al libitum. Following the fashion, the
violinist took his cadenza through the
most extraneous keys until Handel be-
gan to wonder when the shake would
come which was to terminate the long
close. Eventually it came, whereupon
Handel, to the merriment of the audi
ence, exclaimed loud enough to be
heard: Welcome home, Welcome home,

A Sociable Cycle.

The tandem cycle does not permit Of
the travellers sitting side by side and
talking tete-a-tete, in n sociable fashion.
hence a maker has introduced a bicycle
with two seats abreast, two sets OF
driving pedals, and two steering han
dies; the hind wheel is thus actuated
by two separate chains. A difference
in weight between the two travellers
only causes a certain list Of the ma
chine to one side. The start Is made by
one passenger getting into the saddle
while the machine Is mt rest, and the
other mounting when holding 1t verti-
cal and putting 1t in motion. The de-
scent from the bicycle is effected in the
same way, but in inverse order-that IS
to say, one gets of while the machine
Is going and holds 1t upright until the
other descends.

CHASTITY Joys.

Hendon, north Of London, has tav-
ern in churchyard, with tombstones
all around 1t, which has been kept there
for many hundred years, and is the only
licensed house in such place.
The original building was burned
down 200 years ago, the present house
having been built soon after the restor-
alton Of Charles III. 1t Is believed that
1t was once church house, as by the
terms Of the lease a room must be set
aside for parish meetings, and for the
preservation Of the parish records.
