the trustees and said he would accept no
salary before May l, 1900, and directed
that the money be spent in improving the
town.

The first town in the Seventh district

second. following closely, is Medicine
Lodge.
The Monday Afternoon club is the old

only one. but under the wise manage

ganized, and now a City Federation of
the five clubs. Of which Miss Mary Best
IS president, Mrs. E. NJ. Titus, vice presi-

One Of the interesting clubs in their
federation is a Girls Thursday Study
Club" composed Of sixteen school girls,
who have taken up the lives of the presi-
dents Of the United States, and American
authors of juvenile books. This parlia-
mentary work has been a great feature
in their club work, and every girl now
knows all about putting motions, passing
amendments, etc, etc. Their enthusiasm
in their studies is worthy of example.
Another club IS the Musical and Lit

lives of musicians and their compositions,
and at each meeting rendering musical
selections from the author on whom the

DIAMONDS BY DYNAMITE.
English Scientists Think They Have
Discovered the Secret of
Making Gems.

Diamonds made by dynamite"

window, but queer things are bound
to happen in an age of electric fur
naces on the one hand and liquefied
hydrogen on the other.
After close study of the South Afri-
can diamond fields, scientists formed
the theory that diamonds were made
in natures laboratory from carbon
liquefied by enormous heat and pres
sure, and dissolved in iron, from which
they crystallized out in cooling. BY
calculation it was found that this would
require temperature of about 1000
degrees centigrade (7,232 degrees
Fahrenheit), and a pressure of Is tons
to the square inch. Moissan, of Paris.
and other eXperimenters have produced
crystals by initiating this process as
closely as possible, but they were too
small and imperfect to have any value
as jewels. Some other process must
be discovered whereby carbon and iron
can be subjected to enormous heat and
pressure before we can hope to pro-
duce diamonds on a commercial scale.
In this connection Prof. Crookes has
suggested to the Royal institution that
''in their researches on the gases from
fired gunpowder and cordite, Sir Fred
erick Abel and Sir Andrew Noble OBJ
tanned in closed steel cylinders pres
sures as great as 95 tons to the square
inch, and temperatures as high as A.
600 degrees centigrade.' Here, then,
if the observations are correct, we have
sufficient temperature and enough
pressure to liquefy carbon; and if the
temperature could only be allowed to
act for a sufficient time on the carbon
there is little doubt that the artificial
formation of diamonds would soon pass
from the microscopic stage to scale

SOLAR ECLIPSE NEXT YEAR.
Can Be Seen in the Southern States of
America and Is Awaited by
Astronomers.

To determine the probable meteOro-
logical conditions likely to prevail along
the path of the total eclipse of the sun,
which will occur in the southern states
of America on May 2S, 1900, Prof. f. II.
Bigelow obtained observations of the
state of the sky and other meteorologi-
cal conditions along the path of total
ity for the period from May Is to June
Is in the years 1897 and 1898. The re-
suits for the former year have already
been referred to, and those for the
year 1898, containing reports from 81
stations, are given in the Monthly
Weather Review
Last years observations give pre-
clsely the same result as was obtained
In 1S97-namely: The weather condi-
tlons in the interior of Georgia and
Alabama were better than in Virginia,
North Carolina, South Carolina, Mis-
sissippi and Louisiana, and it would be
much safer for the eclipse expeditions
to locate their stations in the northern
portions of Georgia and Alabama, upon
the southern end of the Appalachian
mountains, where the track crosses the
elevated areas, than nearer the coast
line in either direction northeastWard
toward the Atlantic coast, or south
westward toward the gulf coast; on
the coast itself the weather is more un-
favorable than in any other portion OF
the track. The inquiry will be repeat
ed during May and June of the present
year.-Nature.

FOSSIL TYPES.
A FRESH Water Lake in Africa Which
Contains Interesting In
habitants.

An expedition is being sent from Eng
land to study Lake Tanganyika's mu-
scum OF ancient types of animal life,
says the Baltimore Sun. 1t is a fresh
water lake which is supposed to have
once connected with the ocean. 1t has
the ordinary lake fauna, but it has also
large number of animals of an essen
tally marine characteristic, rnollusks.
medusae and sponges whose structure
proclaims their relation to oceanic
forms. What is still more curious is
the fact that its living inhabitants are
more closely allied to marine fossils of
a remote geologic period than to their
eongeners now living in the ocean.
Tanganyilla has the ancestral types,
while those now in the ocean are modi-
fed forms.
1t is inferred that the lake was cut off
from the sea at time when the forms
now fossil in Europe existed in the
ocean at large and that these forms
have been able to adapt themselves to
fresh water. Ten years ago jellyfish
like those of the sea was found in Tan
ganyika, and since then numerous
shellfish and sponges belonging to the
sea have been found there.
This reads like a scientific fairy tale
and excites great deal of interest. The
outgoing expedition will examine Lakes
kivu and Albert Edward, as well as
Tanganyika, and hope to find facts
tending to solve the puzzle,
