scale the same process described ms occur
ring in the laboratory of the chemist. In
the latter the results are minute. In the
former they are greater in proportion to
the size of the experiment
1T is clearly apparent" says Professor
Crookes, that we have really discovered
one of the processes of nature of which
the world has heretofore been in ignor-
ance. Our manufactured diamonds are
minute, but they are genuine.
In the diamond fields the diamonds are
often found in the mud round about great
holes that lead into the earth unknown
distances. These holes, says the New
York Herald, are called diamond pipes,
for out of them. scientists have declared,
and with very good evidence in support of
their assertions, the diamonds have come
some time. 1t is believed that after these
openings were made in the earth they
were filled from below, and the diamonds,
formed at some epoch too re mote to
imagine, were thrown out with the mud
in volcanic eruption, together with all
kinds of DEBRIS crushed from the sides of
adjacent rocks.

William Crookes, tie famous European
savant. announces it as fact that within
five years it will be posi- BILE to make dia-
monds to order, just as it is to make suit
of clothes. ALI that we lack, he saws, is
development of the process, the intrinsic
points OF which we know full well. There
are no mysteries to solve or hidden prin-
ciples to ferret out. Professor Crookes is
the inventor of the famous Crookes tube
without which the x ray would never
have been discovered. 1t is evident to
any one that person who ad brains
sufficient to make this contribution to
science is atleast worthy OF respectful at
tention.
Professor Crookes says that now, thanks
to Professor Moissan, diamonds can be
anufactured in the laboratory. Such
gems are minutely microscopic it is true.

are the same as the natural gem. The

pack it in a carbon crucible with pure
charcoal from sugar. Half pound of

formed close above it between carbon
poles. The iron rapidly melts and satu-
rates itself with carbon.
After few minutes heating to high
tenn perature the current is stopped and
the dazzling, fiery crucible is plunged into
cold water until it cools below a red heat
Iron increases in volume from the mo-
ment of passing from the liquid to the
solid state. The expansion of the inner
liquid on solidifying produces an enor-
nous pressure under stress of which the
dissolved carbon separates out in trans

the diamond.
To obtain the diamond from the metallic
ingot, or mass of metal, requires long
and tedious process, aud the specimens
thus obtaIned are, as Professor Crookes
says. only microscopic. The largest arti-
fetal diamond yet obtained is less than
one miIiliter across. Many circumstances
point to the conclusion that the diamond
of the chemist and the diamond of the
mines are strangely akin in origin. 1t is
clearly apparent, Professor Crookes says,
that the diamond genesis. or origin, must
have taken place at great depths and

"Open boat racing is carried to perfec-
tion in Sydney harbor and has the en-
couraging support of young lovers of this
health-giving sport. The Australian boat
sailers are artists at the tiller, plucky and
full of ginger. The boatmen are fine,
jolly fellows, excellent swimmers, who
revel in brisk breeze when closely pressed
in race, and are ready to put up more

These Sydney boats have often been

the Anlipodes, but no one has furnls he'd
the same amount of detail as Mr.. Bailey.
Some OF Mr.. Bailey's pictures are pub
lished with this article. Seeing is be:iev-

those of the readers OF THE CALL who are

forms of aquatic sport
The art and practice of racing small
boats under heavy sail has been studied
with much success in this locality, and
the local yacht clubs contain as expert
sailers of the lilipnts as can be found
anywhere on earth, and demonstration
has been amply furnished. But even with
all local experience in view the clouds of

to be carrying must thrill with adj iration

A. E. Bailey of this City, who has passed
some years IN Australia, has taken pa ins
| to make sketches from photographs of the
remarkably small sail boats, such as are to
be seen in Sydney harbor annually on
"Ann1versary day." on the occasion of the
great regatta. In true sportsmanlike
spirit he has secured measurements. The
sketches convey the exact impression ol
the open boats as they appear when un-
der their clouds of racing canvas. They
look to the average observer to be as
plen tifully endowed with sails as the
storied ship of Vanderdecken, the Flying
Dutchman, which carried every kite in
the hardest gales.

sible authority" said Mr.. Bailey yester-
day, that 16-footer, under racing can
vas, has shown sail area of 480 square
feet The 16.footers carry 22-foot boom,
14-foot gaff, the hoist being Is feet and
the after leach "a feet. On some OF the
open craft the bowsprit is nearly the

itude to display their ability, all being

class. Boats are even brought to Sydney
from Melbourne and Brisbane, a distance
OF 600 miles, that they may compete for
the championship in their respective
classes. The finest races are often won
by only a length.
"Sydney has many sailing-boat clubs,
each with a large membership, and the
clubs are all in good financial condition
Nearly every Saturday Afternoon there are
races for prizes. and these frequent con-
tests naturally stimulate the interest in

rid of this difficulty is to launch the
projectile, not against the wind, but, SO tc

should be launched not from the land, but
from ship on the water. In such case
the greater the tempest the more force the
proiectile will have. AS for danger to the
life-saving crew. there is no reason why
their vessel cannot be kept clear of the
rocks and other perils.
'As there are serviceable tugs at most
ports of any size, experiments OF this
nature can be made even in very bad
weather. All that is necessary is to see
that the apparatus for launching the pro-
jectile is properly fix,d on the bridge, for
it can be readily seen any inattention to
details would surely result in failure. An
ingenious apparatus has been invented by
NJ. Plgnet, The object being to render this
work easy and to insure its success. The
apparatus is contained in box in which
the various lines are placed, and from
which they can be readily unwound when
needed. It consists of drum-like cyIin-
der. with a firm lid; containing sufficient
cord to reach the vessel or shore, accord
ing to the conditions existing. In it the
line is placed in successive layers or beds,
each bed providing room for several meters
of cord. Furthermore, each line is sepa-
rated from it's successor by disk of light
paper, which is SO arranged as to prevent
the line on one bed from interfering with
the line on another bed, this precaution
being necessary since the line is pressed
down by spring. which is fastened to the
cover of the box.
