PROPOSE TO BEAT NATURE.
Diamond of Powerful Ray May Soon
BE Made by the Use of Mag
ara's Power.

The manufacture of artificial
diamonds has long been regarded as
an impossibility. A score of men
learned in chemistry and skilled as
lapidaries have spent years in a fruit
less endeavor to equal the product Of
nature in this direction. Now, how
ever, the prospect of the manufacture
Of diamonds by scientific means is
considered so likely as to be predicted
in a government report, says the Chi
cago Chronicle. T. G.. Martin, an ex-
pert special agent of the census office,
has written long and very interest
ing report on the electrical industries
of the United States, in which he in
cidentally refers to the attempts that
have been made to produce diamonds
artifcially. He recalls the fact that
Moissan, the Frenchman, pushed the
employment of the electric arc so far
as to produce minute fragmentary dia-
mondS in his furnaces. Moissan also
noted the production of graphite
from diamond heated in the arc and
from the similar treatment of sugar
charcoal purified by chlorine and of
purified wood charcoal.
Gin fact" says Mr.. Martin, sit was
due to his investigation in this
field that he was led to his cele
brated observation on the formation
of diamonds by the sudden cooling in
mercury or lead of molten iron satu-
rated with carbon. Out of all such
work it was but natural that fanciful
speculations should arise as to the
possibility of establishing factories
for the regular manufacture of gem
uine diamonds at Niagara falls, where
the cheap current and other essentials
would be available, but nothing has
resulted within the period under con-
sideration from these plausible and
sanguine theories. The fact remains,
however, that in our modern electrical
furnaces diamond dust has been pro-
duced, and the steps leading to the
manufacture of larger crystals will be
but sequential."

CUBAN RECIPROCITY.
President Insists the Island Should
Have COnSide ration.


I hope soon to submit to the senate a
reciprocity treaty with Cuba. On May 20
last the United States kept it's promise to
the island by formally vacating Cuban soil
and turning Cuba over to those whom her
own people had chosen as the first officials.
of the new republic.
Cuba lies at our doors, and whatever af-
fects her for good or for i'll affects US also.
So much have our people felt this that in
the Platt amendment we definitely took the
ground that Cuba must hereafter have
closer political relations with us than with
any other power. Thus in a sense Cuba
has become part of our international po-
litical system. This makes it necessary
that in return she should be given some of
the benefits of becoming part of our eco
nomic system 1t is, from our own stand
point, short-sighted and mischievous pol
icy to fail to recognize this need. More
over, it is unworthy of a mighty and gen
erous nation, itself the greatest and most
successful republic in history, to refuse to
stretch out a helping hand to a young and
weak sister republic just entering upon It's
ways fearleSsly insist upon our rights in
the face of the strong, and we should with
ungrudging hand do our generous DUTY by
the weak. urge the adoption of reciprocity
with Cuba not only because it is eminently
for our own interests to control the Cuban
market and by every means to foster our
supremacy in the tropical lands and waters
south of US. but also because we, of the
giant republic of the north, should make
tinent feel that whenever they will permit
it we desire to show ourselves disinterest-
eGly and effectively their friend
international Arbitration.
AS civilization grows warfare becomes
less and less the normal condition of
foreign relations. The last century has
seen a marked diminution of wars be-
tween civilized powers: wars with unciv-
ilized powers are largely mere matters of
international police duty, essential for
the welfare of the world. Wherever pos
sible, arbitration or some similar method
should be employed in lieu of war to settle
difficulties between civilized nations, al
though as yet the world has not progressed
sufficiently to render it possible. or neces-
sarily desirable, to invoke arbitration in
every case The formation of the inter-
national tribunal which sits at The
Hague is an event of good omen from
which great consequences for the wei
fare of all mankind may flow. 1t is far
better where possible. to invoke such a
permanent tribunal than to create spe-
cial arbitrators for given purpose.
1t is a matter of SINCERE congratulation
to our country that the United States
and Mexico should have been the first 10
use the good offices of The Hague court.
This was done last summer with most
satisfactory results in the case of a
claim at issue between US and our sister
republic. 1t is earnestly to be hoped
that this first case will serve as a prece-
dent for others, in which not only the

dent was willing to allow access to these
soundings and to consent to the landing
and laying of the cable, subject to any
alterations or additions thereto imposed
by the congress. This was deemed prop
er, especially as it was clear that a cable
connection of some kind with China, a
foreign country, was a part of the COM
pany's plan. This course was, moreover
in accordance with line of presidents,
including President Grants action in the
case of the first French cable, explained
to the congress in his annual message of
December, 1875, and the instance occur
ring in 1879 of the second French cable
from Brest to st. Pierre, with a branch
to Cape Cod.
These conditions prescribed among
other things, a maximum rate for COM
mercial messages and that the company
should construct a line from the philip
pine islands to China, there being at
present, as is we'll known, British line
from Manila to Hong Kong.
The representatives of the cable COM
pany kept these conditions long under
consideration, continuing, in the mean
time to prepare for laying the cable.
They have, however. at length acceded
to them, and an all-American line be-
tween our Pacific coast and the Chinese
empire, by way of Honolulu and the
Philippine islands, is thus provided for,
and is expected within a few months to
be ready for business

The Pacific Cable.
During the fall of 1901 a communication
was addressed to the secretary OF state,
asking whether permission would be
granted by the president to a corpora
ton to lay cable from point on the
California coast to the Philippine islands
by way of Hawaii. A statement of con-
ditions or terms upon which such cor
poratlon would undertake TO lay ana
operate cable was volunteered.
Inasmuch as the congress was shortly
to convene, and Pacific cable legislation
had been the subject. of consideration by
the congress for several years, 1t seemed
to me wise to defer action upon the APP
plication until the congress had first an
opportunity to act The congress adj

ing the matter in exactly the same con-

In consequence of this solicitation of
the cable company, certain conditions
