LAWYER AND AUTHOR
New British Ambassador Considered
Versatile Genius.
Sir Henry Mortimer Durnnd, Now At
Spanish Court, Will Arrive In
Washington within
Short Time.

Sir Henry Mortimer Durand, the Brit
IS ambassador in Madrid has been APP
pointed British ambassador to the Unit
ed States, to succeed the late Sir MlchaeI
Herbert.
The selection Of Sir Henry was sur
prise TO most people, chiefly because ne
has never had any oficial connection
with Washington 1t is learned that Sir
Henry has frequently expressed great
liking for Americans and desire to go
to the United States. His promotion
comes more or less in the ordinary
course of diplomatic changes; but one
of the strongest recommendations that
appealed to Foreign Secretary Lans-
downe was Sir Henry's reputation of be-
ing an excellent lawyer (haying been
called to the bar in 1922. A similar
qualification had much to do with the
late Lord Pauncefote's selection.
The new ambassador will speedily bic
farewell to the Spanish court and pro-
ceed to the United States. Lady Durand
is not very strong, but it is hoped the
American climate Will benefit her health
and enable her to completely fulfill her
duties as hostess Of the British embassy.
The daughter Of Sir Henry and Lady
Durand is much liked in Madrid society.
Their son is an officer In the Lancers.
In addition to his diplomatic success
in Persia, India and Afghanistan, Sir
Henry is an expert shot and has had
many adventures with big game while
hunting in India, where he was closely
connected with Gen. Lord Roberts, serv-
ing as his political secretary during the
famous Cabul campaign.
Sir Henry, who was born In 1850, is a
son of the late Maj Gen. Sir Henry
Durand. He married in 1875 Ella Reve,
daughter of Teighmouth Sandys, Of the
Cameron County press. [volume] (Emporium, Cameron County, Pa.) 1866-1922, 1903-11-12

British civil service. Sir Henry was ap-
pointed to the British privy council in
1901. He is the author of life of his
father, Sir Henry Durand, and of Helen
Treyeryan."
He entered the Bengal civil service in
1873, was political secretary to Sir F.,
now Earl, Roberts during the Cabul
campaign of 1879. and foreign secretary
in India from 1884 to 1894 In 1888 he
conducted an important diplomatic mis-
sion to the Ameer Of Afghanistan and
from 1894 to 1900 he was British minister
to Teheran.
In the mission to Cabul in 903 he was
completely successful. The Indo-
Afghan frontier question, the position
of Afghanistan in regard to its Oxus bor-
der, as defined in the Clarendon agree
ment between England and Russia, and
other matters which had caused some
trouble, were adjusted to the mutual sat
isfaction Of all parties concerned, with
the probable exception of Russia. AS a
reward for his services, Sir Henry was
made knight commander of the Order
of the Star in India.
1t IS worthy of mention here that the
British mission to Afghanistan in 1893
was full of perils. The safety of Sir
Henry and his party was intrusted en-
tirely to Afghan honor, the sole guard
being furnished by the ameers troops
and Cabul was known to be hotbed of
ferocious fanatlcism.
The British commissioners special
endeavor was to convince the ameer that
England was single~minded in her de-
sire to uphold the independence of
Afghanistan. To do this required much
tact, which, fortunately for England
the commissioner had acc tuired in the
Indian foreign Office.
In 1900 Sir Henry became ambassador
and consul general at Madrid.
The significant and important feature
of Sir Henrys selection is the fact that
1t is the first time the British govern
ment has sent an ambassador directly
to Washington. Heretofore Washington
has been looked upon as post ranking
at the foot of the embassies, hence 1t has
been the custom to promote a minister
to the embassy to be ambassador here.
So the action Of the British government
in this case marks a growing sense of
appreciation Of the Importance of Wash
ington as diplomatic post

TRIUMPH OF CHEMISTRY.
How York Inventor Has Perfected
Process for the Manufacture
of the Hardest Stone.

A New York scientist has discovered
recently method for manufacturing
stone which he announces considerably
improves upon nature. The new stone
is called "polladite." 1t ia harder than
most natural stone, and may be manu-
factured quickly and at comparative
slight expense. "Palladite" is the in
vention of Mr.. w. Pallard Foote, Of
Yonkers. New York, who has given the
discovery his name. The chemically pre-
pared stone may be used for variety of

right position, level the base and mark
the point upon the base at which the
plumb hangs; it will always hang to
this mark when b is level, but not
otherwise.
Now to test whether ditch is level,
place the frame upright in the bot
tom of the ditch and if the bob comes
to the mark, the ditch is level at that
place. To establish grade of any
desired fall to the rod-say four inch
es to the rod-tack a block of wood

purposes. AS a thin veneer placed on
iron, wood, stone or brick it offers pro-
lection against fire, water, acids or rust,
resisting the effect of extremes of high
and low temperatures. 1t is composed
chiefly of waste paper pulped and mold
ed into form, and presents the appear
ance of stone in color and consistency.
The New York Herald says that if a
quantity of this be taken and made into
box or troughlike form to given size,
gay five or six feet long. by four inches
square, then veneered with "polladite,"
1t will make an effectual stone covered
conduit for underground or overhead
electric or telephone wires of noncon-
ductivity and durability. Patents have
been granted and others are pending for
the protection of this invention.
In July, 1894, Mr.. Foote introduced
in Brooklyn and New York, in a series
Of public tests, bullet proof shield"
for government use which was comment
ed on freely by the press. A test was
given also at the United States govern
ment proving grounds at Indian Head,
in 1895, at the request of the late Ad-
miral Sampson.
Later on members of the German le-
cation at Washington examined and
praised the invention.
This invention embraced the first i'm
portant elements of "polladite." After
nine years of continuous work, Mr.
Foote has succeeded in perfecting this
valuable process-the solicifcation OF
mineral and other matter.
