BEVERIDGE AT NAGAsAKI.
The Consul WOuId Take no Chances
ON Being Taken In-ORce
Was Enough.

During his recent trip to the Phil
ippihes Albert ]. Beveridge, United
States senator from Indiana, stopped
at the japanese port of Nagasaki.
Mr. Beveridge Is only thirty-ive
years DID, and so youthful looking that
he might easily pass for a collegian Of
twenty-five He went ashore at Maya
saki for few hours. Nobody In the
place knew him, not even the few
Americans there, as his coming had
the town at his leisure and then
dropped in to pay d visit TO the United
States consul.
That official had been victimized n
few weeks before by young Ameri-
can visitor. who claimed to be the son,
of Senator Boise Penrose Of Pennsyl-
vania, and borrowed $40. The consul
had Just learned that Senator Penrosc
has no son.
Good morning. consul" exclaimed
Mr.. Beveridge, handing out his card.
81 am Senator Beveridge of Indiana
and have just dropped in"
Look here. young man." interrupted
the consul, II am up to your little
game, and you can't get a cent here;
do you understand"
The senator, first astonished and
then indignant, began to protest, but
the ludicrous side Of the matter APP
pealed to him so strongly that he
picked up his hat and went away
laughing.
"Haw exclaimed the consul, "they
can't fool me more than once. 1 sup
pose the next thing will be some round
faced beggar trying to palm himself
on me as President Mckinley"
At the foot of the stairs, as luck
would have 1t, an American officer rec
ognized Mr.. Beverage. When the stu
alton was explained, the officer took
the senator back to the consulate ana
everything was made right few hours
later over an elaborate dinner.

In the manufacture Of carbon steel
microscopic diamonds are formed. A
number Of steels from . variety or

gave identical results. A piece weigh
ing 800 grammes was cut from lump
of steel and treated with nitric acid;
the insoluble residue collected was
mainly graphite carbon. After being
washed with water 1t was boiled three
times with Tuning nitric acid, which
partially dissolved the residue; hydro
fiuoric acid and then Tuning sulphuric
acid were used. Then there remained
nothing but graphite, which, after be-
ing washed, was melted with chlorate
of potash. This long series Of opera
