IT is NOT NEEDED.
Re-RegistratiOn In Townships
Not Required This
Spring.

In view of the fact that numerous
newspapers throughout the state
have published statement to the
effect that there must be com
plete re-registration in all Michigan
townships this spring, Deputy-At-
torney-General Chase announces
that township re registration is not
required this spring nor at any
other time.
The fact is that when the legisla-
ture amended the election law some
years ago, it repealed the section
requiring re-registration in town
ships. Only new voters need be
registered in these districts now.

SOME CALLED TOWER A DUDE.
American Ambassador Had a Duluth
Reputation as a Dandy.

The announcement of Charlemagne
Towers new diplomatic position at
berlin has recalled to many Duluth
persons his five years residence in
lhis city in the capacity of president
Of the Duluth & Iron Mountain road.
He was much admired and respected, !,
bat was considered rather distant,
despite the fact that he was really
quite approachable. A Duluth man
who knows Mr.. Tower quite intimate
ly says:
"Charlemagne Tower was at once
the most extensively and at the same
time the worst dressed man in l>u-
luth. This is accounted for from the
fact that he had his clothes made in
London. In the early sos, when Mr..
Tower was here there not as many
fashionably dressed men here as now,
and l must confess that large num-
Der considered him a dude. He was
nothing of the sort. He was an aris-
tocrat and that was all there was to
it, and he was a gentleman every inch
OF the way. Mr.. Tower doubtless felt
the responsibilities of the great
wealth of the Tower family, and as
president of the Iron Range road and
member of the executive committee
Of the Minnesota iron company. ,

ever showed the white feather wan

and found no fault with anything.
Bassett and Mailman had voted him ii

Diamond of Pow erful Ray viii soor
Be Made by Naaaras Power.
The manufacturer of artificial dia-
monds has long been regarded as all
impossibility. A score of men learned
in chemistry and skilled as lapidaries
have spent years ina fruitless endeav-
or to equal the product OF nature in
this direction. Now, however, the
prospect of the manufacture of dia-
= monds by scientific means is consid-
cred so likely as to be predicted in
government report. T. G. Martin, ar
expert special agent of the census
office has written a long and very in
teresting report on the electrical in
dustries of the United States, in which
he incidentally refers to the attempts
that have been made to produce dia-
monds artifcially He recalls the
fact that Moissan, the Frenchman,
pushed the employment of the electric
arc so far as to proddce minute frag-
mentary diamonds a~in1 his furnaces.
MOissan also noted the production of
graphite from diamond heated in tho
arc. and from the similar treatment
OF sugar charcoal purified by chlorine
aid of purified wood charcoal.
In fact" says Mr.. Martin. 'it was
due to his investigation in this field
that he was led TO his celebrated OBJ
servation on the formation of dia-
monds by the sudden cooling in mer-
curry or lead of molten iron saturated
with carbon. Out of all such work it
WAS but natural that fanciful specula-
tions should arise as to the possibility
of establishing factories for the regu-
lar manufacture of genuine diamonds
at Niagara Falls, where the cheap
current and other essentials would be
available, but nothing has resulted
within the period under consideration
from these plausible and sanguine
theories. The fact remains, however,
that in our modern electrical furnaces
diamond dust has been produced, and
the steps leading to the manufacture
Of larger crystals will be but sequen
tial." *
