PROPOSE TO BEAT NATURE.
Diamond OF Powerful Ray viii Soon
Be Made by Niagars's Power.

The manufacture OF artificial dia
monds has long been regarded as ar
impossibility. A score OF men learned
in chemistry and skilled as lapidarios
have spent years in fruitless endeav
or 10 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 10 be predicted in a
government report. L. G.. Martin, an
expert special agent OF the census
office, has written long and very in.
teresting report on the electrical In.
dustries OF the United States, In which
he incidentally refers to the attempts
tliat'haye been made TO produce dia
monds artIhcially He recalls the
fact that Moissan, the Frenchman,
pushed the employment Of the electric
arc so far as to produce minute frag.
nentary diamonds i'm 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.
In fact" says Mr. Martin, 1T was
due to his investigation in this field
that he was led TO his celebrated ob.
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 II
was but natural that fanciful specula.
tions should arise as 10 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.

THE cATAcoMBs OF ROME.
Important Historical Discoveries Be.

Discoveries Of the first importance
to the students OF the evidences OF
Christianity and 20 archiaeologists are
confidently looked for from the con
tinued exploration OF the CatacOmbs
Of Rome. OF the forty-five cemeteries
known 70 have existed. only five have
been made accessible TO visitors. The
principal catacombs. those on the Ap
pia, NOmentana, Salaria and Ardea

oughly explored. The soil being Of vol
canic origin, is too soft 20 be utilized
for building purposes, but II Is OF sui
hcient consistency TO enable excaya.
tions 20 be prosecuted without the aid
Of supports. Until the ninth century
the catacombs were places Of pilgrim
age. but from then until the nine
teenth they were neglected. The en-.
frances became blocked and almost
all the sites were lost sight OF. II is
computed that fully 5000. 900 OF bodies
lie buried In the Roman catacombs. or
more than double the number that are
Inferred in the catacombs OF Paris.
The most ancient Of all known cata-
combs are those Of the Theban kings,
which are over 1000 years old.

applies TO the tops Of the built-in

A. Fargo dispatch to the Minneapo-
lis Tribune says: Governor White,
who arrived here yesterday, together
with Martin Dodge. United States gov
eminent director officer Of road inquir-
les, had an almost miraculous escape
from death. The work of crushing
rock for macadamized road conducted
on a side track in the Great Northern
yards was being witnessed by these
gentlemen from abandoning track.
While engrossed in conversation a
switch engine approached ~unobserved
by them until it was so close that those
near by fully expected to see the gov
ernor and MI. Dodge crushed to death.
Suddenly MI. Dodge. realized the sit
uation, and giving the governor a push
which nearly sent him to the ground.
he himself jumped just in time to pre-
vent a catastrophe. Governor White
says he owes his life to Senator Dodge.

HEfH4ETHM-. .-E--v4t&t NEGEEE%E Xxi 49,
the name Of grand ball. was pulled off
at Goodrich-Blaine last week. The
usual quota of scraps, DRINKS and dis
turbances was reported, also a marital
eruption. The Voice is getting of the
opinion that any sane person who e e
ularly attends public "pay" dances
where tinlhorn gamblers, hobos and
blind piggers are society lions, and a
known prostitute .parades as the pride
Of the ball, should be ~ostracised from
the society of white people who try to
maintain the faintest semblance of
morality. There's another appropri-
ate name for this peculiar brand of
grand balls" which probably wouldn't
look pleasant in print. !
