MAN WHO MAKES DIAMONDS.
Prof. MOissOn Uses Carbon and Iron,
n Crucible Furnace, and Heat.


Referring 70 the recent lecture in New
York OF Professor Henry Moisson. the
French scientist, who makes diamonds,
the Evening World says
Professor Moisson told how he had dis
covered the composition Of diamonds By
reducing specimens Of diamonds TO ashes.
The scientist found out by the process
that I'm all these diamonds save one very
pure green gem from Brazil, there was
iron, while the Cape diamonds came from
earth that contained granite and graphite.
Granite is the effect of great pressure.
As cast-iron Increases IN volume in pass
ing from the liquid 10 the solid state, he
was led to believe that If an element Of
carbon were inclcsed I'm a globule OF cast
iron that was cooling, 1t would be sub
iected TO the requisite pressure. He had
Experimental TO ascertain the different
stages through which carbon passes and
had obtained pure carbon-graphite-by
very high temperature.
High temperature alone, however, would
not yield the crystallized form Of carbon
known to commerce as diamond" Heat
at sufficient pressure, would, he believed,
and he at lasc succeeded in proving 1t.
In order TO obtain a heat sufficiently
great. and at the same time measurable,
ne CeFlscQ simple electric furnace, anu
there il was before his audience.
It consisted of two clay bricks, one
eighteen inches square on the surface
and a foot thick, with another above It
half as thick In the lower brick was a
hollow large enough 10 contain the cruel
bic. while two carbon electrodes con-
nected with a battery entered the cavity,
which was sprinkled with magnesia TO
prevent the formation of calcium carbide.
In the crucible were placed sOtt-lrOn
filings and charcoal The furnace was
covered UP and the current turned on.
In three minutes the indicator showed
that things inside the little furnace were
$500 degrees hot. The clay was boiling
and flaming before their eyes. Professor
Aloisson carelessy laid his hand on the
top brick and kept it there-just TO show
that the heat didn't come through.
At the end Of ten minutes the little
wizard turned of the current. listed the
cover, the under side a white mass OF
flame, and dropped II in some water. He
took out the crucible with tongs and
dropped IL into cold water.
When the crucible was cold he broke IL
and took out an ingOt as big as a COM
mon bullet. lie explained the process
which he must 80 through TO eliminate
the iron, in which was imbedded the
crystalized carbon-the diamond.
Then the slender Frenchman spoiled II
all by telling his audience that he had
never been able TO make diamond larger
than one milllmetre in diameter and OF
no commercial value, but he hoped later

An evening gown of pale gray MORE,
trimmed with white tulle and pink moss
rosebuds. was very charming. Again,
other MORE gowns were hung entirely
with thin stuffs. tulle. and silk gauze,
the glittering wave Of the foundation
showing through, and a folded belt and
perhaps tiny puff sleeves matching.
Sleeves. by the way, however, are very
unimportant affairs in the new dance
frocks. For young girls there is still
pretence of some arm protection, three
quarter length or short puff; but for the
older fry the sleeves of low bodices are
often a mere continuance Of the lace or
flower drapery that deck the decol-
letaee. At the shoulder these are punched
TO give a little extra width. and fall
gracefully a slight distance over the arm
Underneath. again, a narrow velvet band
finished with a bow may encircle the arm
like a bracelet. but with many of the
imported models shoulder strap Of vel
vet or flowers is the sole excuse for
sleeves in a low evening bodice.
"Well-fed men are seldom drunkards."
n nice old lady once said. BY that she
did not mean that rich yiands in guam

that plain, wholesome food. well cooked,

ach, and a man won't want 10 drink

playing on the piano. Consequently, he
had no piano with him.

her hand doing some kind Of fancy work
Previous TO her marriage with the En-
peror she used to make her dresses just
the same as any other girl.
The home commands the whole OF the
japanese womans attention. There and
there only does she reign. As every Japa-
nese homo IS thrown open after the
family are up, the women may be seen
in the afternoon busly at work sewing.
The mother who would not teach her
girl dressmaking deprives her daughter
of the possibility Of marriage
Another thing peculiar about the Japa-
nese women Is that they all smoke those
small pipes that are admired 50 much by
the foreigner 10 that country. The
smoking utensils are as necessary to the
home as the food
The married women Of that country are
easily recognized from the unmarried.
The first thing a girl does after the
marriage ceremony is to blscken her
teeth. Her teeth must from that mo-
ment be lacqucrated. This makes them
extremely odd-looking. Fancy "a young
girl, with a beautiful face and rosy lips.

Here and There.

Country hostcsses are building what
might be termed bicycle stables. The
number OF machines necessary for II
large family occupy a great deal OF space
needed Tor other uses, so the difficulty
is now being settled by building n bicycle
stable. Necessity for provision OF this
sort is all the greater whore the house
is one OF large hospitality. and each
guest Is provided with "A bike" Many
men drop in on one Unexpectedly these
days, who make a friends country house
the objective point for a days run. As
rule. the owner Of an expensive machine
is nervous about leaving IL casually on
the lawn or against the piazza, where
any passer-by might jump lightly on and
silently wheel away. And, by the same
token. the mistress OF an elegant interior
winces when a thing OF iron and steel,
with muddy tires, IS placed in the cor
ridor among her silky rugs.
Thus comes the demand that the bicy-
Gle should have ito own place for rest.
wherein IL may be refreshed with a
cleansing and lubricatng toilet. Where
q separate building Is not considered es-
sontial. some special arrangement should
stil be made for its keep. Under a high
bay window was the place selected by
the owner Of certain seaside cottage.
The space was enclosed and properly fitted
20 the satisfaction Of an the family. a
place I'm which 10 keep tools not car
ried I'm the kit-a tire-pump and cleaning
paraphernalia-are the furnishings neces-
sary. There are. Of course. the racks.
These racks are stationary. but there Is
also a simple. portable kind, useful for
placing anywhere.
Brocades Of all sorts are much used,
both for trimming and for entire gowns.
Small bits OF genuine old weaves are in
great demand. and whenever in sufii-
GENTLY good condition are used for hat
crowns. belts, vests. and other dress
trimmings.
Glaze silks, somewhat heavier than the
old taffetas, and often figured. are also
conspicuous gown trimmings. and moires
are seen in profusion. though they are
not i'm favor for very young women.
No matter what the station OF woman
IN Japan-high or low. rich or poor-she
must be able TO make her own dresses
This is an inexorable rule that applies TO
the Empress of the Kingdom Of the
Rising Sun as well as il does TO the
daughter OF the most humble artisan in
the land.
The present Empress has assumed the
European style Of dressing. but she may
be seen any afternoon with q needle in
