LABORATORY DIAMONDS
Too Small and Too Costly to Rival
the Natural Gems.

New Orleans Times-Democrat.
Louis Rene. of Lyons, France, was in
the city on his way east after a sojourn
in Southern California. Mr.. Rene Is
chemist of note, and has charge at Lyons
of the laboratory of one of the largest
dyeing establishments in the world. Last
year he attracted considera bic attention
in scientific circles by a series of remark
able experiments in the manufacture of
diamonds, and several of the gems which
he produced artifcially were exhibited
before the Academy Of Sciences at Paris
Speaking Of the matter Mr. Rene said:
There is nothing new about the ar1-
fetal production of diamonds, but nobody
has ever succeeded in making them on a
scale available for commercial purposes.
The laboratory diamonds were always
very small, mere sparks, In fact, and the
cost Of the process was many times their
intrinsic value. All that I obtained for
my experiments was that the crystals
were little larger and more symmetrical
than any others that had ever been made
and that my method of producing them
was a distinctly new departure. [ do not
care as yet to go into particulars further
than to state that the Capitalization was
effected under intense heat electrically
generated, and also that mechanical pres
sure was SlDplOyeu EAdiHlileu uluSF d
glass, the diamonds were seen to be beau
tifully clear and perfectly formed. These
experiments have been the diversion of
my scant leisure, and I have not had an
opportunity to pursue them as far as
wish. 1t is my intention to take them up
again when l return to France, and
look for some interesting results
Mr.. Rene was asked whether he
thought there was any probability of dia-
monds ever being made on a commercial
scale.
II am not specially interested In that
phase of the problem, he replied. What
1 hope to do is to formulate new law In
capitalization. I may say, however, that
there are many serious obstacles to de-
veloping the process along commercial
lines The subject. Is too technical for
me TO make myself Ineligible to the gen
eral reader, but, briefly, I have my
doubts whether the laboratory diamond
will ever rival the natural gen.

blast. An appropriate apparatus under

stiffly in position except under the ac-
ton Of q tornado; but the originator Of
this brilliant ccntrivauce apparently as
sumed that q tornado blows steadily
from one direction, and left out Of mis-
calculations its twisting qualities. The
inmates OF this place Of refuge, Wjcn
swept by the revolving hurricane, might
be considerably astonished by its rapidity

full inventor adds to his description of
the structure q suggestion that it might
be peculiarly adapted for use as a hos
pital, since 1t could be turned on its

luxury which commends itself to every
kealth-loving millionaire, but, as only the
minority possesses a million, the patent
WILL no doubt expire unused.
Akin to this laudable Invention is an
other which proposes to put springs under
q house to prevent its fcing shaken down
by possible earthquake. One of the
most remarkable freaks in architecture
since the prehistoric wooden horse Of
Troy is house built in the shape of an
elephant, which was patented in 1882 by g.
gentleman of Philadelphia. In describ-
irg his conception this gentleman stated
that the form of any animal might be
employed. as his principal object was to
elevate the building considerably above
the ground, in order to permit a good
circulation Of air below the apartments
and to insure well-lighted rooms. The
legs of the animal, being hollow, were to
contain fights Of stairs leading to the
looms above, while the elephants trunk
might be effectively utilized as a chute
for conveying Stops and ashes to the
sewer, the opening to which might, for
picturesque purposes, be shaped so as to
present the appearance Of trough out
Of which the animal might be supposed to
be feeding. One Of thsse elephant houses
was actually erected on Coney island,
and proved quite profitable speculation
till 1t was destroyed by fire in 1893, and
on account of it's size could be seen at
& considerable distance.

Kansas Widow Pleased That She Eek
amined OLD Letters.

WICHITA. Kan, Sept. 4.-Mrs. Julia
Benheard, widow living here, in looking
over some old letters, found a deposit
certificate for $4,000 which her brother,
w. L. Richardson, had placed in the

his first call for troops, enlisted I'M the
Twenty-second Illinois regiment of in

his children $4,000 in cash. Richardson
had his money sewed up inside his uni
form. In January, 1863, he was detailed
with squad of men to do skirmish work
and he deposited his money, $4,000, In
United States currency, in the Bank OF
Trenton to the credit Of his sister, then
Julia Ann Richardson. He was wounded
in February and sent home, where he
died. He gave the deposit check to his
sister and she put 1t away.
After the funeral the deposit check
could not be found. Miss Richardson be-
came Mrs. Bernhard Her husband died
several years ago and the fortune of
the family long since disappeared. The
Bank of Trenton is no longer In ex-
istence, but Mrs. Benheard has employed
attorneys here to bring suit against the
stockholders, several Of whom are still
living, for $4,000 and interest at 6 per
cent for thirty-fivs years, amounting In
all to $35, 900.

LeeIanaw at San Francisco With a

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. "a The United
States transport Leelanaw came into port
today with pumps steadily at work to
overcome the effect of a hole in the
ships bottom. The Leelanaw sailed for
Manila on Sept. with a cargo of COM
missary stores and 200 horses for army
use After leaving this port distemper
was developed among the horses and so
many of the animals died that the
Leelanaw put into Honolulu and landed
there the commissary stores and the sur
viving horses. The transport then
started on the return trip to this city.
During the three days prior to reaching
this port so thick and constant was the
fog that no observations could be taken,
and having lost her bearings the Lee
lanaw struck the reef bar Montana,
twenty miles south of this port, last even

fioated off at high tide 1t was found
that the ragged rock had torn hole

Miss Mary Ann Batten, who, twenty
years ago, retired from the world. IS
dead. While reputed to have ample
means, she did not dress as stylish as
the well-groomed women Of the church
would have her, SO her class in the Sun
day school was given to another, who
wore better gowns. Miss Batten keenly
felt the injustice and went to her home,
and from that day to her death she was
never seen. The neighbors tried to call,
but they found the door barred. She per
mitted no one near her but her brother,
who supplied her wants.
Once, when there was fire and the
Batten house was threatened, the firemen
were not permitted to go through the
house to put water on the roof The
Batten house did not burn and the super
stitious neighbors say 1t was protected
by a supernatural power.
When Miss Batten died all the neighbors
offered their assistance. All were kindly
refused.

SNAKES FOR CONSUMPTION.
North Carolina Natives Have
Strange Cure for the Malady.


COLUMBIA, 8. c., Sept. M.-Prof W.
T. Lander, Of Williamson Female col
lege has just returned from a bicycle
trip through the widest mountain region
of Western North Carolina, and reports
that the natives up in Pennsylvania
county have found, or believe they have
found, a cure for consumption. Whether
the remedy is worse than the disease is
a matter of opinion.
It is a singular fact that in the noun
tains where consumptives go for relief
consumption among natives Is not I'M
common. Prof. Lander was shown
man who was said to have lost all but
small part of one lung, when an Old
Indian doctor gave him prescription;
he followed instructions, and is now
strong and robust. Other consumptives
are using the formula with beneficial re-
suits, causing increased consumption of
whisky and destruction Of rattlesnakes.
The prescription calls for two heads of
rattlesnekes to quart of liquor, tho
heads of the snakes, fangs, poison bags.
and all, to be beaten up into fine powder,
and then soaked in liquor. The liquor is
then taken as medicine.

the archbishop had accused President Nc

The Chronicle dispatch said:
Gossip is busy with story to the effect
that Archbishop Ireland and President

tells 1t, is as follows:
Archbishop Ireland on his return from
Europe stopped at Washington a few
days. Contrary to his custom, he did not
call at the White house A friend of the
president called on the archbishop and
asked him to pay visit
i will not, the archbishop Is said to
have replied. II have no desire to see
the president. He has not kept faith I
am tired Of hearing promises and not see

The presidential emissary then ventured
the suggestion that Mr.. Mckinley would
