a physical appearance that is worthy OF
her importance to her owner and to her
reputation for cleverness. Tommy is the
cats name despite her sex and her age
is only a little over two years.
Tommy is & founding, having been
brought to the oyster-boat in infancy by
some marketman who did not appreciate
her promise. She leads a very happy life
aboard the boat, living chiefly upon a
sharply contrasted diet of rats and oys-

my early in life developed marked taste.
She is a connoiseuse in bivalves, and Will
eat nothing in the oyster line but the very
best Rockaways.
Whenever she feels a craving for oys-
tiers coming on she goes to key and
helps herself. An attempt was once made
to palm off bad oysters upon Tommy, but
it was never repeated. She never pushes
a bivalve along unless she is convinced
that it is good thing.
Tommy is quite versatile, and serves

the step of a stranger, no matter how
sound may be her sleep. Her owner re-

she is boarded at a cost to Mr.. Simmons

TO MAKE DIAMONDS.
M. Henri MOissan, Frenchman,
Gave a Brilliant Exposition.
From the New York Sun

From the New YORK sun.
Before an appreciative audience that
completely filled the large lecture room
of the College Of Physicians and Sur
geons, M. Henri Moissan Of the Institute
of France and Of the Academic des
Sciences, who is known throughout the
world for his chemical Investigations with
very high temperatures and researches
into the nature and applications of the
carbides delivered a lecture last night on
the uses of the electric furnace and the
results obtained by 1t. The audience con-
sisted chiefly of persons interes ed in chem
istry, students, professors, electricians and
engineers with a sprinkling of ladies', and
followed the speaker with close attention
during the hour and half that the lee
ture lasted. M Moissan spoke in French,
and, while some of his hearers understood
his words, the rest understood the chemi-
cal points he was expounding.
NJ Moissan is man of about 45 years,
Of medium hight and slender build. His
face is a striking one; his hair and beard
are Jet black, streaked with gray, ana
his smile is very pleasant. He spoke
easily and unaffectedly, in clear, melodi-
Gus voice.
He explained that, while the carbon
compounds have been studied with great
care by organic chemists during the past
fifty years, the study of the different
stages through which carbon passes had
been comparatively neglected. In his en-
deavors to obtain pure carbon, the ordin-
airy anonymous carbon. lampblack. con-
tanning from 10 TO Is per cent. Of impure
ties, he had found 1t necessary TO use very
high temperatures, and had succeeded
in obtaining one form of pure carbon,
graphite. High temperature alone, how
ever, would not yield the cryst alhzed form
of carbon, diamond. He set 10 work TO
find out the composition OF diamonds by
reducing some to ashes. In all, whether
they came from Cape Of Good Hope or
from Brazil, he found iron. save In one
very pure green hard stone from Brazil.
BY the study Of the nature OF the ground
and of the geological formation In which
Cape diamonds are found, he found thar
the earth, besides graphite and micro
scopic diamonds, always contained gram
lite. Granite Is the product of great pres
sure, and this fact led him to the idea that
diamonds might also be obtained in voi-
ume in passing from the liquid TO tho
solid state, he was led 10 believe that II
an element OF carbon were inclosed IN n

TAMPERING WITH TIME.
The Decimal system, Which Is Bc~
ing Attempted in France.

ing Attempted IN france.
From the New York Tribune.
What will doubtless prove futile at
tempt to alter the measurement of time
is now being made in France. The deci-
NAL system is substituted for the duodeci-
NAL and sexagesimal now used in reckon
ing fractions of a day. The clock dial is
divided into ten sections, instead Of
twelve, each of them subdivided into ten,
instead of five, and only one revolution OF
the shorter hand, instead Of two, effected
in a day. The day, from midnight to mid
night, is divided into 100 equal parts, each
known as ''ces," and each equal TO "a
minutes "a seconds Of the present scale.
The ICES" is the unit of measurement.
Ten "ces' make a "decaces," equal to
hours "a minutes, and ten "decaces'
make a "hectoces," or day of twenty
hours. The entire circuit Of the clock
dial, therefore, is a "hectoces," or day.
the ten major divisions, substituted for
the twelve now pointed off by the hour
hand" are each a "decaces;" and the 100
minor divisions substituted for the 60 now
pointed off by the minute hand are each
"A "ces" If a smaller secondary dial is
used, with third hand, corresponding to
the Second hand" Of a watch, It will be
tees" and perhaps each Of them subdi-
vided into ten "centices." or hundredths
of "ces," while for exact computations
there will be also the "milices," or thou
sandth of a ''ces." Under this system
midnight, instead Of being ~ o'clock, is
100 ces," or 40 decaces;" noon is 80
ces," and 6 o'clock In the morning is "25
ces."
Clocks and watches are being thus con-
structed and used, and the system has
been experimentally adopted in the geo.
graphical bureau of the French army. II
is urged in it's favor that IL diminishes the
work of calculation by two-thirds, ana
lessons the chances Of error from four to
one That may be true. PROFESSIONALLY
the system Is a simple apd logical one in
itself. Yet. like the recent proposition to
change the reckoning of hours so that
instead of counting from one 20 twelve
twice over In day we should count from
one to twenty-four, II is In all probable
ity doomed to failure. The present system
may be less simple. But II has existed
for many centuries, and Is accepted by
every civilized people in the world 1t
will not readily be displaced, Moreover,
the proposed new system is not complete,
and cannot possibly be made so. The day
may be decimally divided, but the year
cannot be, nor the month, nor the week.
The year will always be divided into IS
days and a fraction, or $3.50 on every fourth.
As long at least as the Christian, Jewish.
Hindoo, and Mahometan religions endure.
the week Will consist as for thousands Il
years past, of seven days And as for
changing the months from twelve to ten.

"good' frauds. Theron tires of his ife's
intellectual inferiority, as he thinks. He
seeks the society of Celia Madden, who en-
tertains him with sensuous music and
talks about the ''only true object of worship
being beauty" He imagines she loves him
and feels that he married too soon and th at
he is mismated. He neglects his wife and is
denounced by old acquaintance who once
praised him. He hears suddenly that
Celia is going to New York on certain
evening along with Father Forbes. Plead
ing urg ent church business to his wife.
Theron departs on the same train, follows
the priest and the girl to a hotel
and when the priest leaves visits
CeIia's parlor. There he learns that the
mission of the twain he had followed
is to save brother of Celia from prison.
Celia condemns Ware for moral infidelity
to church and wife, and drives him mad
with an analysis of his character The
young preacher goes out and vainly essays
to commit suicide. He winds up at the
house of the friendly "debt-raisers," who
reside in New York. They brace him up,
send for his wife and she and Theron
make up. Ware has reached the bottom;
quits the ministry and has no further use
for religion. He winds up by leaving for

she was spared to me!'' And again ::
"Since | lost her there has grown in my
mind 8 semblance of the anguish of a
patient who has suffered amputation, and
who has the limb he was deprived of con-
stantly in his sight. She was a radical
factor in my intellectual existence. and
with her part of my actual being passed
away"
The last words of the memoir sum up
Remains thoughts on the death of his sis
ter. They would seem to indicate that he
had brought himself to philosophical
state OF mind in contemplating her life
work and her efforts in his behalf. He
concludes:
Let us hold fast her memory as a
precious demonstration of those eternal
truths whereof every virtuous life con-
tributes proof. Personally l have never
doubted the reality of the moral law. But
now 1 see clearly that all the logic of the
universal system must come to naught If
such lives as hers were nothing but de-
fusion and q snare"
The letters, which form the greater por-
tion OF the present work, are dated at
various periods during the years 1925.
Like the memoir, they breathe love be-
tween the brother and sister of the most
unselfish kind. Those from Ernest to
Henriette are philosophical and analytical.
They serve to throw some light upon dis
puted phases of his character. AS for his
sisters letters, they indicate the almost
maternal regard she had for her darling
Ernest" with whom she discusses alb
struse questions of theology in a manner
that confirms Ernest's assertion that their
minds were as one.
The work OF translation has been ad-
mirabIy performed by Lady Mary Lloyd.
The letterpress of the memoir is illus
trated by etchings of Ernest and Hen
riette Renan and with pictures of their
native town, Treguier.
