Rene was asked whether he thought
there was any probability of diamonds
ever being made on a commercial scale.
Il am not especially interested in that
phase of the problem" he replied.
What I hope to do is to formulate a
new law in crystallization. | may say
however, that there are many serious
obstacles to developing the process
along commercial lines. The subject
is too technical for me to make myself

BY this means the plate was almost
thrust in the path of the flashes, and
was held at right angles to their direc-

center, leaving a pinhole burned in
the envelopes. The plate was then

When printed upon ordinary photo
graphic paper, these lines showed in
pure white against dead black back
ground. The pinhole burned in the en-
velopes represented the normal path
of the miniature thunderbolt before
striking the sensitive plate. This
strangely branching figure, covering
about eighty square inches, represented
its path Immediately afterward The

Now, these simple experiments have

81 find that neither of these laws Is
correct. In traversing a conductor
electricity selects number of sepa-
rate and mutually divergent paths,
and is not distributed wholly through
the ether medium directly surrounding
It, as here shown by the autobiography
of the current electrifying this plate.
During a recent thunder storm In
Washington several men took shelter
near some trees, and the bench upon
which they were sitting was struck by
lightning. One of these men afterward
found upon his body what he called
the picture of a tree. People speak
ing about it and newspapers writing
about it described the mark on his
body as a photograph of nearby tree,
made on his body by the lightning. An
examination of the electrographs will
make it evident that it was not pic
ture of a tree, but a picture of the path
taken by the current in spreading over
the surface and through the skin. This
popular belief in lightning photo
graphs upon the body must conse-
quently be abandoned.
Prof. Gates estimates that a one-inch
spark of his artificial lightning will
make an electrograph of one inch area,
while a seven-inch spark will make one
of about one hundred square inches
area. He says that he would need a
Photographic plate of many acres area
to receive the complete electrograph Of
a lightning flash mile long.
The electrograph resembles the x
ray print in that no camera is needed
in it's production The camera has been
used in the course of the experiments,
but for a different purpose. Artificial
lightning flashes sixteen inches long

Electrography is a brand new art.
The first electrograph was made re-
Gently by Prof. Elmer Gates of Wash"
ington, ID. @. This new art was dis
covered in the course of experiments
being made in Prof Gates laboratory
in connection with an extended study
of the influence OF electricity upon me-
neurological and astronomical condi-
tions-upon the weather and the
planets.
An electrograph is an autograph
written by an electric discharge upon
striking sensitive plate. In imitation
OF nature. Prof. Gates is producing ar
tificial lightning discharges by very
large Influence machine" lately in
stalled in his laboratory. 1t Is a fric-
tional or static machine on very
large scale, actuated by an electric
motor rather than by hand power. In
studying lightning flashes by these
means brass knob emitting a spark

imagination for a thunder head an
other knob for the point on the earth

tween for the object struck.

used in photography, was placed in

the total absence OF light The motor
Of the influence machine was then
started, and soon a succession of huge
flashes, making reports like rife shots,
began to jump from one knob to the
other. The machine was regulated to
emit flashes in slow succession, and

Conditions for Successful OrehardinE.
The past winter, spring and summer
have given US an object lesson as to
cause and effect in the treatment OF
orchards. But if we were to shape our
course in the light OF the effects of
the last winter on the trees we would
be making a great mistake. The last
winter was so severe that the very
conditions that would have been ia
vorable to the orchards in ordinary
years proved the reverse this last sea-
son. For once the best-cultivated or
lieve that this was due to the fact that
the ground above the roots of the
trees, being in loose condition, per-
mitted the frost to go much deeper
than in orchards where there was a
firm sod. In many cases this was the
cause of the loss of trees and vines.
1t is a well-known fact that frost goes
deeper in land that is titled than in
land that is untitled. If we were to
continue to have winters like the last
we would perhaps be compelled to give
up cultivating our orchards and vine
yards or confine ourselves to a few
exceptionally hardy varieties. But as
we do not expect such winters, we are
certainly justified in continuing to Gull
uvate, knowing that cultivation not
only gives us better crops and stronger
trees, but that trees so taken care of
are more likely than others to survive
ordinary winters. 1t has also been
noted that the older orchards in clover
and grass give the best crops this year
while the younger orchards, even when
IN clover and grass, seem to have sus-
talned great injury. A possible ex-
PLANTATION is that the older trees are
deeper rooted and were able to get
down below the frost line wherever
the land was in some kind Of crop that

last winter must not be made the
standard by which to Judge futurt

graphs of the entire lengths of these
have been made by 12x15 anastigmat-
ic lens. When printed they show in
white against black ground, Jagged,
irregular lines, such as are noticed in
long chains or forks of lightning dur
ing severe storms. Speaking of these,
the professor said:
I'VE sometimes hear it asserted that
the course of lightning is not crooked,
but straight, and that the crooked ap-
pearance is due to the irregular back
ground of clouds. That such is prob
ably not the case is shown by these
camera photographs, which, however,
are not photographs.
These photographs surprise me by
their multitudinous branchings in
every direction" Prof. Gates explained,
picking up well-developed print THE
current seems to try to get farther
away from every part of itself. 1t
would appear that the branches are
mutually repealed, but this is not the
case, as proved by the law that cur
rents flowing in the same direction mu-
tually attract The separation is pro-
duced in conformity with the we'll
known law that electricity travels in
the direction of least resistance. The
sensitive film is quite thin, but has
appreciable thickness. and from any
given point where it is struck the di-
rection Of least resistance must be RAJ
daily outward"
