the jewels as they occur in nature The
process used for making diamonds is as fol-
lows: NJ. Moissan, having concluded that
diamonds are produced in the earth by
great heat and under enormous pressure,
he decided to initiate the natural condi-
tons as well as he could. Accordingly ne
melted iron and carbon together-or more
properly, dissolved the carbon in the cast
iron-at a temperature of 1900 degrees cen
tigrade and while at that high heat
plunged the crucible into cold water
The outside of the metal was thus i'm
mediately solidided, while the interior,
which was still at the temperature of 5000
degrees, was subjected to enormous press
ing as it began to chill because cast iron
contracts on cooling. When the mass of
iron had become cold It was examined
under the microscope and diamonds were
found in it. 1t is remarkable that a yes
sci at q temperature of 1900 degrees cent?
grade could be thrust into cold water with
out having a serious explosion take place.
yet the experiment was performed over 800
times without accident. Since lime which
had formerly been used for crucibles when
working at high temperatures, proved to
volatilize readily at 5000 degrees centri-
grade it was necessary to find some other
more refractory material for holding the
substances TO be experimental upon. NJ.
Moissan devised a crucible made of alter
nate layers of magnesia and graphite which
was found to work admirably.

Some of the most important experiments

substances at high temperatures are those

Henri Moissan, of France. and described
by him in a recently published book called

mentors, no one has ever made use of il

When Mr.. Yerkes was before the Illinois
Legislature he laid stress on the fact that
h person could ride much farther in Chi
eago for cents than was formerly pos
sible. IN some cases passenger could ride
ten. twelve and even fifteen miles for 8
cents. Mr. Yerkes thought that in consid-
eratiop fer this long ride the companies
ought not to be asked to carry passengers
for less than cents. In Toronto passen-
gers not only get reduced fares, but the
longer ride as well. A person can ride
twelve miles in Toronto for one fare, which
at certain hours is only cents. More than
that, person can go from any one part
of the city to any other part for a single
fare. 1t is not necessary to take this long
ride in direction where not one person
in five hundred desires to go.
Until recently street cars WeFe not Oper-
ated on Sunday in Toronto. A few weeks

In order to get this concession the COM
pany agreed to sell seven tickets for Is

able to deal intelligently and honestly with
its franchises is in other ways delightful.
Every street in the city is paved and all

AND THAT FLAG WAS H'IsTED.
How Nearny BIufYed British Adj
mirnI at Honolulu.

New York Press.
1t is true, as has been stated recently,
that in 1S43 there was a cesslon OF the Ha-
wafian islands to England, and this is how
the cession became null and void. The
story is from the lips of one of the best
known and most gallant officers on the re-
tired list of the United States navy.
Is AS soon as the United States government
learned that Admiral Lord George Paulet
had by his guns compelled the natives or
the islands TO cede their territory TO Great
Britain Commodore Lawrence kearny, an
uncle of Phil Kearny of Chantilly, was
ordered TO proceed TO the islands in his ship
and see about it. When the American man
of-war came into the harbor of Honolulu
the islanders plucked up courage again and
informed the British admiral that they had
concluded TO assert themselves as nation,
and abrosate the cessiOn of the islands to
Great Britain, which was only provisional
anyway.
King of Hawaii sent word to the British
admiral that at daybreak the next morning
the flag of the Hawaiian kingdom would
be hoisted. Admiral Paulet sent back word
that if the flag was hosted he would fire
on it. Late at night a messenger from
shore came off to inform Commodore
Kearny OF Paulets threat. The Commodore
was mad clean through"
He called away his Gig and went on board
the British ship. lie was in full uniform
and attended by his midshipman Admiral
Paulet was aroused from his slumbers to
receive the American commander. The
commodore entered the cabin of the Brit
ish vessel with fire in his eye, and, refusing
the invitation Of the admiral 10 be seated
said slowly: Il understand that you saw If
them islanders hist that flag tomorrow
morning you will fire on it.
Yes" replied Lord George. land I will
do so"
We'll" said Commodore Kearny Il just
dropped aboard to tell you that if you fire
on that flag l will blow you out of the
water"
do you know to whom you are talking"
retorted Lord George. II am Admiral Lord
George Paulet of her Majesty's navy"
And | am Lawrence kearny, of the
United States navy and if you fire on that
flag will blow you out of the water. Mid
shipman, call away my boat.
Commodore Kearney went on board his
ship beat to quarters, shoJted his guns
and waited for the dawn. Just as the first
streaks of gold and crimson came through
the mountain passes the British ship was
seen by the growing light making her way
out of the harbor, and as the flag of Ha-
shotted guns OF the ship of Commodore
Lawrence Kearney.

In his later years, the figure of the old rail-
