 object of the Conference.
 The object of the conference was to secure the necessary permit from the commiss on. This was secured, and the trustees and commissioners left, a few hours later, for Lockport to open the gates. The hurried action of the drainage trustees was the result of a movement on the part of attorneys in Chicago to secure an injunction from Federal Judge kohlsaat, restraining tn: board from opening the gates of the controlling works at Lockpoort.
 Trustees Went to Lockport.
 The trustees left Chicago on spe- cial train at an early hour and after a brief stop here returned to Lock- pectec that the work of opening the gates would not consume more than one hour.
 Work Not Complete at Joliet.
 At Joliet the work is not yet in shape to receive the full volume of water, but the trustees decided to take the risk and avoid the possibility of the opening being tied up in the courts.
 II is probable the gates will be only partially opened.

Artificial Diamonds.

1t is we'll known that in the manufac-
ture of carbon steel microscopic dia-
monds are formed. and the curious
fact is stated by The Scientific Press
that from the examination of num-
Der of steels from a variety of process
es identical results were given. \
piece weighing 800 grams was cut from
a lump of steel and treated with nitric
acid. the nsoluble residue collected
being mainly graphic carbon. After
being washed with water it was boil
ed three times With tuning nitric acid.
which partially dissolved the residue,
hydrofuoric acid and then tuning sui
phuric being used. there then remain
ing nothing but graphite, which, after
being washed, was melted With chic

FACTS ABOUT sARDINEs.

The Greater Part of This Country's
Consumption Now Packed Here.
Formerly the sardines consumed in
this country We're all imported from
France. Now about three-quarters of
the sardines eaten in the United States
are put up here. the chief center of
the sardim industry in the United
States being the eastern coast of
Maine. though some sardines are now
put up on the coast of California. The
packing of sardines in this country
was begun about 1856.
Thousands of reople now find en-
ployment in one part and another of
the work In catching fish. in making
cans and in canning and packing and
marketing and so on.
Sardines are put up in greater va
riety than formely. there being now
adays sardines packed in tomato
sauce. sardines in mustard. spiced sar-
dimes and SO on. but the great bulk of
sardines. both imported and domestic.
are Still put up in oil. Sardines are
| put UP also 10 a greater variety of
packages them formerly. there being.
| for example. various sizes and shapes
| of oval tins. and some Franch sar-
dimes are imported in glass. but as the
great bulk Of all sardines are still put
up in oil, so the great bulk of them are
still put up in the familiar fat boxes.
the great majority of these being of
the sizes known as halves and quar-
tiers and far the greater number of
| these being in quarters. Sardines are
| packed 10C tins in a case. and the con-
sumption of sardines in this country
is roughly estimated at from 1.5COO0f
to 100000 cases annually.
Like canned goods of every descrip
ton. sardiacs are cheaper now thar
they formerly We're. and American sar
dimes are sold for less than the import
ed. American sardines are now e4
ported from this country to the West
Indies and to South America.-New

During Peter Coopers lifetime he
was frequent visitor at the home of

Brooklyn.
AT one time Mr.. Cooper became great
ly interested in the spirit manifesto
tons of the Fox sisters and was anx-
ious to investigate their rappings per-
sonally. but he did not like to attend
one of their public seances, for he fear
ed recognition and consequently a
great deal of talk. Finally it was ar
ranged that onc of the sisters should
spend q night at Mr.. Pardessus' house
and the doughty Peter be invited to
meet her
Miss Fox came. and the spirits came
too. The family retired early. Mr..
Cooper occupying bedroom on the OPP

which sent shivers to his very marrow.
1t was only the beginning of rat,

try. OF all the chocolate beans import
ed into the United States two-thirds go
to one firm in Boston. and the other
third is distributed among the other
manufacturers. The chocolates sold
are of various grades. The Caracas
chocolate is supposed to be the best.

take piece of each and place them in
a pan of water and allow them to dis

will leave no sediment. The others
will. This is explained by the fact
that in the cheaper grades the shell is

cannot tell you why 1t is. but If people
begin to eat chocolate the habit grows
upon them. don't think any amount
of chocolate hurts any person. OF
course the cheaper grades of chocolate
have a large percentage of sugar in
them. and sugar is to a certain ex-
tent injurious. but for the chocolate

enough to hurt him materially. In

The consumption of chocolate is in
