To M0Ee Diamonds NeIt.
That Is To Be One of the Marvellous
Works of Electricity - Growth
and Accomplishments of the
Powerful Agent In Decade.

Washington, September I7.-Will the
power of Niagara Falls be turned to
the manufacture of diamonds This. is
a question which is seriously treated in
an expert report from the Census Office
on the history and uses of electricity
during the decade just passed: In
view of the marvels which have already
been accomplished, this, in the opinion
of the special expert, Thomas c. Mar
tin, is only question of time.
In the modern electric furnaces,
where an almost incredible degree of
heat is generated, diamond dust has
been produced. "The steps leading to
the manufacture of the larger crystals" :"
says MIR. Martin, " are but sequential."
Niagara Falls is the location which ma
tural1y suggests itself for the diamond
factory, on account of the great electric
dynamos which the Falls now operate.
They have capacity of ten thousand
horsepower, and are capable of general
ing current of $4,000 volts; and this at
no very great expense.
A great French chemist has employ
ed the electric arc in making diamonds,
and has made further progress in this
line than any contemporary. AS early
as 1896 he had succeeded in securing
minute fragmentary crystals Of true
diamond formation, by the sudden cool
ing of molten iron saturated with car.
bon. The liquid iron was plunged into
mercury or lead Incidentally he dis
covered that graphite could be made
arti6cially from charcoal, by heating it
in the current of the electric arc. This

discovery has been made of great CON-
mercial and practical value in this coun-
try by E. F. Acheson, who has estab-
|lished a factory near Buffalo, where he
makes thousands of pounds 'of lead.
pencil filing" The graphite which he
makes is of even better quality than
that which is mined from the earth,
and is used also for metallurgical work,
electrodes, rheostats, and such articles.
Ordinary coke is the basis of his pro-
duct. The process is covered by patents,
which gives practical monopoly.
1t is estimated by the Census Office
that electricity has entered into the
daily life of this country to the extent
of seven dollars for each man, woman,
and child in the United States. That
is the per CAPITA allowance of the an
nual amount expended. Of this amount
about three dollars goes to the electric
traction companies, dollar and half
to the electric1ight concerns, and seven
ty-fve cents to the telephone companies
The telegraph also takes about fifty
cents year from each of the 100000
people, while the rest of the seven dol
lars is charged off to electric fire alarms
signals, and general supplies.I
In the value and importance of the
industry of manufacturing electrical
supplies and apparatus Pennsylvania
leads in 1900 the returns to the census
showed gross output for that State of
S2oo67,587. New York came next with
Sr7oo7.352; while Illinois comes third
with an annual output of $11 64I,177.
This is one vast industry-the annual
product being no less than $oI .34S,SSo-
which the a1l-prevailing process of con-
solidation and centralization has not
reached. Only six establishments re-
port more than 1000 employees, while
322 establishments hire between and
50 persons, and they are widely scatter
ed over the Union. 1t is also discover
ed by the census that the industry is
not overcapitalized, as are many of the
other industries of equal caring power.

REGULATION OF sALUTEs.
Instructions to Commanders Pertain
ing to Winter Naval Maneuvers.

With view of making the coming win
ter maneuvers in the Caribbean sea ap-
proach service conditions as nearly as pos
sible, Secretary Moody has issued in
structions to the commanders-in-chief of
the North Atlantic, European and South
Atlantic sauadrons, which will eliminate
the almost endless official firing of salutes
which take place ordinarily in time of
peace when ships meet at sea. The order
was issued upon the recommendation of
Admiral Dewey and the general board. Ii
is as follows:
During the coming winter maneuvers
I'M the Caribbean sea and vicinity the
United States naval regulations govern
ing the firing of salutes and the uniforms
of officers will be modified as follows: The
Hagship of each squadron shall salute the
nag of the commander-in-chief once only
and that when first meeting. Other YES
sells of the squadron shall not salute the
flag officer nor the flag of the command
er-in-ehief No personal salutes will be
fired. Official calls shall be made in serv-
Ice dress. either white or blue as prescrib-
ed. When vessels are inspected either by
the nag officer otherwise, the uniform
of the day shall be worn"
The commanders Of the several squadrons
are Instructed to issue the necessary or
ders to carry the above notifications of
the regulations into effect.
1t was announced at the Navy Depart
ment today that Admiral Dewey will fiy
iiiS nag ou tHe converted cruiser MayfOW-
er instead Of on the dispatch boat Dolphin
during the big maneuvers in the Carib-
bean next winter. The Mayfower is used
by the President when he has need of her,
but. as the Dolphin is rega rded as a rather
small vessel for the headquarters of the
admiral Of the navy. President Roosevelt
INQUIRED of the admiral If the Mayfiower
would not be more suitable and rendered
him the use of her for the maneuvers The
offer was accepted by Admiral Dewey with
qualification. and the vessel will be pre-
pared for the maneuvers
