Diam0ndA In Steel.

In the manufacture of carbon steel
microscopic diamonds are formed. A
number of steels from variety of proc
esses have been examined and gave
identical results, says the Mining and
Scientific Press. A piece weighing
three hundred grammes was cut from
a lump of steel and treated with nitric
acid; the insoluble residue collected
was mainly graphite carbon. After
being washed with water it was boiled
three times with fuming nitric acid,
which partially dissolved the residue;
hydrofuoric acid and then fuming sui
phuric acid were used. There then re-
mained nothing but graphite, which,
after being washed, was melted with
chlorate of potash. This long series Of
operations was recommended, because
it was necessary to subject the residue
to all the treatments mentioned. The
insoluble residue obtained fell to the
bottom Of vessel filled with iodide of
methylene and the little, transparent
octahedrons visible through a micros,
cope burned on sheet of platinum
without leaving any ash. These were
the diamonds.

While the southern half Of the Dark
Continent is darkened by heavy war
cloud it is interesting to watch the
peaceful development Of that great ex-
panse Of country defined by treaty Of
the powers in the Berlin Conference of
1885 and known as the Congo Free
State. There has been no struggle
there except the magnificent matching
of mans energy against the difficult
ties which Mother Nature sets up to
guard against the too free discovery
and exploitation of her choicest stores.
When the little State Of Belgium was
made sponsor for the Congo State by
the Berlin Congress, the philanthropy
and natural fitness of King Leopold IL.
had much to do with the selection, and
he has nobly justified the confidence
of the worlds great diplomats. Not
only has he given his time and energy
to the development of his Central Af-
rican dependency, but his private for
tune as well has been expended with
wonderful generosity. When the State
was formed, and for a few years
thereafter, it's total revenue did not ex-
ceed 100000, and the expense of car
rying on the great improvements was
fully million year. This enormous
deficit was made up by King Leopold,
a large proportion of it coming from
his private revenues. By the develop
ment of the country, the building of the
Congo Railway, and the discovery and
cultivation of the rubber plant, these
revenues were increased in seven years
to $3,OOO,Q00 per annum, so that the
expenditures have been more than JUS
titled. But while the commercial ad-
vance has been astounding in other
lines the progress has been even more
remarkable. The slave trade, which
formerly devastated the whole country
lik an awful pestilence, has been prac-
tically wiped out. Missionaries and
teachers are dotted up and down the
river, each one pursuing his work Of
civilization and regeneration. The ma
tives are being taught the outward
marks Of civilization and the truths Of
Christianity. They are being drilled
as soldiers by European officers, learn
ing to read and write, and the civilized
methods of commerce and trade. Can
nibalism has passed away with the
awful slave trade, and the thirty mill
ions Of blacks may some day develop
from scattered, warning and disorgan-
ized tribes into a great and united ma
ton. Perhaps the future of the blacks
of our Southern States may be linked
with the enlightenment and develop
ment of their colored brothers Of the
Dark Continent. Whatever the out
come, all praise and credit is due to
the noble King of the Belgians.

There are persons scattered all over
the world who regard DR.. Leslie e.
Kelley, who died In California, as one
Of the greatest benefactors of the race.
Although many cures for drunkenness,
some of them as effective doubtless as
the Kelley cure, have been exploited.
DR.. Kelley was the first to popularize
the diagnosis of drunkenness as dis
ease and the first to discover remedy.
The little town of Dwight, ILL.,, became
a mecca for thousands who were strug-
Cling with the baneful habit and it is
the testimony of these thousands that
they found emancipation in the Keeley
treatment. Branch Institutes sprang
up all over the world and DR.. Kelley
died millionaire. 1t is claimed by his
friends that DR.. Kelley gave away
more money than he kept and treated
thousands of cases free. He was
gentleman, and the world Is better be-
cause he lived in it.

It's Back is: Broken.

New York-Under the caption,
what to Do With the Philippines"
Gen. Joseph Wheeler contributes to
Leslie's Weekly a lengthy article on
the situation in the islands, as he OBJ
served it during his service there. He
says in part: 81 believe that the back
of the rebellion in the Philippines is
broken; there will be little more to do
in military way. There will be some
guerrilla warfare, but it will not
amount to much. AS for Aguinaldo, /
don't consider him a patriot. He was
fighting for a great prize. Had he
won, he would have been powerful
emperor mighty dictator. AS far as
possible, I believe that we should es-
tablish civil government in the Philip
pines.''

'Sir," said DR.. Samuel Johnson to his
faithful Mr.. Boswell, In the year 1888,
"I'd as soon have a man break my
bones as talk to me of public affairs,
internal or external. l have lived to
see things all as bad as they can be-"
DR.. Johnson spoke after the manner
and with the motive of the people who,
In our own hopeful and optimistic
country, are expressively called "ca-
lamity howlers;;" yet the remark which
we have just quoted has it's optimistic
side. One who believes that things are
''as bad as they can be" at least has the
ground for hope that they may become
better, since they can grow no worse
AS a matter of fact, things became
very much better In England than they
were in 1888. However, If no good
men had been willing in England to
talk Of public affairs, and if none had
recognized the elements of improve
ment In conditions which existed,
things would probably have gone from
bad to worse. The hopeless pessimist
In politics, who turns his back on the
business, the ideas and the political
struggles Of his fellow-men, will cer-
tainly never help things to be better.

A few years ago landowner made
his neighbor tear down and rebuild a
four-story block because it overreached
six inches into the next lot. A still
more selfish contention concerns the
proprietorship of five inches Of space
three hundred feet above the sidewalk.
The bringer of the suit declares that a
neighboring cornice projects five inches
over his own modest roof, and he
claims large damages therefor. For
once Doctor Hale's "look up and not
down" seems at fault Thackeray's
irony Is more apt: "If your neighbor's
foot obstructs you, stamp on it; and do
you suppose he won't take it awayY

Irrigation will 60 on.

Washington.-When the Deficiency
Appropriation Bill passed the House
there was left out an appropriation of
$4,000 for maintaining the hydro
graphic branch Of the Geological Sur
vey. About half of this money is an
nually spent in measuring streams in
California, and the continuance Of the
work means a great deal for future
irrigation.
When the bill got into the Senate
Mr.. Perkins had the appropriation put
in as an amendment, and now the bill
is before the conference committee.
The House conferees were inclined to
insist upon throwing the appropriation
out, but the California delegation has
prevailed upon them to leave it in, SO
this appropriation will be part of the
bill.

Berkeley.-The University of Califor-
MIA will extend it's scope over the en-

since the plans for the new university
were made and it indicates that the
University of California will become
a Pacific Coast institution and not

Shipment of Coin for Uncle Sans Men.

New York-A shipment of $1,393 0SO
for the payment of soldiers in the
Philippines left the b-treasury. There
were $60O,0O0 in gold coin, packed in
wooden boxes, each containing $40 600,
the same sum in bills packed in three
safes, and the remainder, consisting
of minor coin, packed in cartridge
boxes. The money was hauled down
Broad street under a guard Of 1S SOL
diers. The detachment was cheered by
brokers repeatedly along the route.
The two trucks containing the money
were driven to the United States trans

A young man writes to ask If it will

ern novels that people are talking
about. We will not be dogmatic and
say either yes or no. Generally speak
ing the novels our fathers read, the
novels that have stood the test of time
that have delighted and taught the
generations, the answer would be no.
1t is better to read the old books and
let time put it's seal on the moderns.

read Lies Miserables," or ''rale of

What at once amuseS and myst1hes
us is the British habit of branding as
''treachery" any and every effort ON
Russia's part to secure access to the
great commercial ocean routes. We
have never been able to understand
why Russia's desire for practicable
seaports should be regarded as crim-
inal and why England should deem 10
her sacred duty to Illustrate that de,
sire by every expedient of diplomacy
and force. For half century Great
Britain has made it her chief ambition
to block Russia's way to the Mediter1
ranean. A nation which has indusi
triously expanded its commerce.
throughout the world; which has estab1
lished itself on every continent and in
every sea; which has converted the
Mediterranean into a British lake and
the Indian Ocean into a British thor
oughfare; which has drawn a Gordon
Of naval stations about the United
States and which holds the key to ev7
cry military and commercial avenue
upon the globe-this nation resents the
effort of Russia to obtain even one open
seaport, either in Europe or in Asia,
and breaks out with threats and de-
nunciations whenever that effort seems
to be on the point of realization! She
regards it as manifestation Of wick
ed and abhorrent deceit If Russia so
much as tries to obtain an outlet for
herself either on the Pacific or the In
dian ocean. She who has thousand
ports and who has made the whole
world bristle with her armed islands
and her forts hurls anathema at Rus
sia, who seeks only two or three har-
bors for her fleets!
