may acquire fun citizenship in England
and Englshmen be admitted to complete
citizenship and political equality in the
United States, change of allegiance being
allowed at the option of these American
Englishmen and English-Americans. The
author of the work in question would per-
nit an Engiishman to sit in congress and
an American in the house of commons or
lords If he could get there. The idea is
not new. having been suggested by two
or three English enthusiasts years ago
without meeting with the slightest favor.
Common interest is the only sure and
certain foundation on which to base an
international friendship of any kind. In
the case of England and ourselves that
common interest is on a solid, substan-
tial, plain. incontrovertible fact and 1t is
all that is necessary. provided there is
common sense on both sides. The earlier
statesmen of the republic, Jefferson
among them, saw 1t. and committed
themselves to such a policy. In the first
year of his second presidential term, JEFF
ferson wrote to Monroe these words;
mo two countries upon earth have so
many points of common interest and
friendship; and the rulers must be great
bunglers indeed, If with such disposi-
lions. they break them asunder." Eng
lands rulers were then unwise and did
the breaking act, but the wrong should
not be cherished against the England Of
today. The points of common interest
and friendship" still exist

alton OF the crystals. When the mass is
cooled In water 1t becomes surrounded by
water vapor which prevents all contact
between the hot mass and the LIQUID, and
during the first period the mass Is cooled
rather by a rapid radiation. In order to
cool 1t by conduction, and thus more
quickly, 1t was placed In iron filings. In
this way the diamonds which were OBJ
tanned were of peculiar nature, and they
contained specks of black carbon The
pressure seems to be less and the trans
formation of the carbon into the dia-
mond is less complete. The experiment is.
however. highly instructive, as 1t gives
form of specified diamond which Is also
found in nature. To obtain a more rapid
cooling, bath OF melted lead was found
the best; 1t was kept at about the fusing
point or GIT Fab. The crucible, heated
as before is quickly plunged into the
bath of melted lead, which Is about six
inches deep. The iron. which Is lighter
than the melted lead, is detached from
the crucible in masses which tend to form
spheres and rise more or less rapidly to
the top. When the iron is saturated with
carbon in the furnace 1t becomes SO pasty
that the crucible can be turned over and
Ii will not run out but when II coois off
the metal soon becomes liquid and gives
up graphite.
The smallest sphere, one-half inch in
ulafneteT, was SOlld and Sunlciently cool
on coming to the top. These spheres gave
good yield OF diamonds and the latter
were especially clear and brilliant and
| the spotted form was absent. Some OF the
crystalline forms were very sharp. One
of the transparent diamonds measured
as high as 0.57 millimeter. and had a
somewhat triangular form with the angles
rounded off. 1t was perfectly clear. 1t is
curious to note that three months after
its formation II split into two pieces; this
fact is significant, as some diamonds from
the cape show an identical action, this
being no doubt due TO irregularities OF
pressure at the time of formation. The
samples OF diamonds obtained by this
method were interesting to examine as to
their different forms. Most of them were
smooth and brilliant, while others had
grained surface. All the specimens had
the particular lustre which is character
istic of the native diamond. When a ray
of light is sent into the interior they ap-
pear to become luminous. Some OF the
specimens are cubes and octahedra, with
rounded angles.

Modesty of Wealth.

From the New York Times.
There are number Of young men of
inherited wealth who hold small. but
generally promising positions In New
York. They possess an ambition that
will not permit them to lead idle and
useless lives, and the employers are
sometimes ignorant of their financial in
dependence. Here is case in illustra-
tion.
A young clerk in a downtown offics
where scores of clerks were employed
had been reported Ill for several days,
and the head of the company, wishing to
learn his prospects Of recovery looked
over the home addresses Of the other
clerks. Calling in the one who. accord
ing to this list. lived nearest to the sick
clerk-a young man drawing salary OF
s23 week-he asked II he would stop
off and see how Harry was getting
along"
Certainly" was the reply; and then
after a little hesitation, he added II
will have to make a special trip to Jersey
to do IT, as my wife and I are living at
the Waldorf-Astoria this winterr"
The astonished employer learned upon
inquiry that his twenty three dollar-a
week clerk was a millionaire, who was
unostentatiously winning his way along
with HIS less fortunate fellow clerks, all
of whom were equally In ignorance as
10 his wealth.

AMERICAS COAL TRADE
IN FOREIGN COUNTRIES
From the Bogton TIerald.

From the Boston Herald.
American consuls in France are still be-
moaning the fact that American coal
merchants have been negiecting their ex-
port business to that country Our con-
sui at Marseilles. in a recent report to
the department at Washington, says. L
still deem 1t unfortunate that American
exporters failed to follow up their ener-
getie and successful efforts of previous
years to get into this market, while fully
comprehending the causes Of their pres
ent Indifference" Our consul argued that
in the long run it would have been better
to accept moderate profits on coal shipped
to France than to have sold this coal at
the higher rates ruling in the United
States. In this way, he thinks the Amer
leans have left the market open for Ger
man coal. which, while of an inferior
quality, can be sold at a low price In
this country there existed last year great
industrial activity which was coincident
with shortage in the fuel supply, owing
to labor troubles. As a result the de-
mands for fuel here were greater than
could be supplied in the circumstances in
our coal mines. Instead of considering
how to increase our export trade in coal,
we were actually drawing on Europe for
supply Of fuel that was absolutely ne
cessary.
We have never been as enthusiastic as
some of our consuls in regard to the
building up IN the immediate future of
large export trade in this commodity
with European countries Competition in
the coal trade Of Europe Is keen, and the
handicap of a very long ocean voyage
tells against the European marketing of
the product of our mines Our consul
shows that the Imports or coal at Mar
settles last year were little under a
million tons, a decline of almost 10000
tons from the quantity imported at this
French port in the previous year. OF the
total imports, which amounted to e65,542
tons, British coal accounted for 9l4,413
tons, leaving only about $4,000 tons for the
total imports from all other countries.
Germany sent less than 10000 tons, and
the United States less than 5000 tons. 1t
would hardly appear from these figures
as though Germany was rapidly sup
planting the United Kingdom as a source
of coal imports at Marseilles, while our
own share in the trade Is insignificant in

Fashions for Men.
From Vogue.

IIOth NOB
There seems to be a growing opinion
that the colored shirt has been run into
the ground, but 1t is pretty safe to say
that 1t will last a good many years more,
If not for a century. However, existing
and being fashionable are not synony-
nous terms, and there is no doubt that
there is an ever increasing variety of
self-fgured whites for both softs and
stiff front styles l have before me a
number of samples just received, and
there is no denying that some of them
are exceedingly pretty and smart-look-
ing. One is a very soft, crepe-like stuff,
with small conventional clover design
spaced rather closely; another a fine
linen with an irregular vine-like and
small-dot figure In silk weave; another a
grouped line and flower and leaf design;
still another a white madras with two
hair lines close together, broken at in
tervals by groups of three very small
three-leaf clovers, not conventionalized;
still another of fine linen, with a fairly
broad satin stripe effect. and a variety of
others too numerous to mention. In addi-
ton, there are a few ecru-eolored crepe
like pieces, the exact name of which do
not know, with groups of three narrow
stripes Of blue, black, etc, running
through them, rather odd-looking.
but not remarkably pretty As 1
have said before, in this column, simply
figured whites that is to say simple dot
rib and satin stripe effects are smart for

signs are worn with formal afternoon

Names of Women.

From the London Mail
The differences In character in women
are perhaps fewer in number. and GER
tainly are less strongly marked than In
men. 1t may be- too. that they are less
under the influence of their names than
men are. Many Of their names are quite
coloriess, but ! will give a few that have
character. Catherine and Elizabeth, II
they are so called, are practical, organic
ing women. They get power and use II
well.
Kitty and Bessie. on the other hand,
are more feminine and less suited to pub
lie careers; of these two Kitty is almost
invariably the cleverer. Fanny and Polly
are not necessarily ill-natured, but they
are scandal-mongers. Florence is gener-
ally disconnected. and so is Florry; Flos-
sic is as rule quite contented and
irritatingly silly.
.tiice is the female of Arthur Her
Character is generally feeble; she is meek
on the surface, but there is sometimes a
substratum of spitefulness. Agnes Is in
clined to have all the virtues, but no sense
of humor. Gertrude and Margaret have
a marked capacity for self-sacrifce and
devotion; they are good names for sick
nurses. The capacity is less marked in
Gertie and Maggie and they are general
ly more commonplace
Ann has a strong will and disregard
for niceties and the fine shades Annie,
on the other hand, is generally under the
domination of some stronger character.
Edith has courage and self-control, and
makes a good mother. Louisa is spir-
tied. Barbara Is unconventional. Ada, I
am afraid. is fool; she may possibly dis
tinguish herself In an artistic career, but
she will show great foolishness In other
respects. Ethel is a rather limited per-
son, and in early life Is generally fiirt.
Jane has what Is vulgarly called cool
cheek but Jenny is less self-confdent.
Phyllis is lazy; Dora has personal
charm; GeorgianaAs good sportswoman.

A Novel Railway system.

The only suspended electrical railway
system in existence is soon to be opened
in Germany. 1t has been built between
Barmen, Elberfeld and Wohwinkel, and
runs for most of the way over the river
Wupper. II was found impossible to make
a surface railway of the line. as there was
no available land to spare for it. and an
underground road would have been too
costly, so the plan of a suspended system
above the river was decided upon as a
way out of the difficulty. 1t is believed
that the suspended railway system will
solve the problem Of high speed passenger
traffic abroad, and already there are pro-
jects on foot for a hundred mile-an-hour
suspended line between London and
Brighton. Harper's Weekly for July II
publishes page OF photographs showing
the system in operation.

Maud is fond of society, but is not unduly
frivolous; she has ambitions. One sell

associated with money. If she has it she
keeps 1t; if she has it not she either mar
ries 1t or makes 1t. Ruby is clumsy and
tactless Pearl is generally rather or
namental and highly finished woman.
Eleanor is a mass Of splendid principles
and very difficult to live with. Christine
and Cecily are very gentle and rather pa
thetic. Mildred and Millicent, il they are
not called Mile, are proud and reserved;
Mile is in all respects more ordinary.

comparison with its total volume. Ac-
cording to this consular report coal can
be bought in Marseilles for less than
$3.50 a ton, and on that basis there is lit
tie inducement to pay ocean rreights from
our coal ports TO southern Trance when
the coal mined In our country can be
marketed at home at the high rates now
prevailing.
It was supposed that when British par
lament placed an export tax on ship
ments of coal, endeavoring IN this way
TO inereaseNthe revenue needed for carry
ing on the Boer war, that this would
handicap the British exporters in compete
ing for foreign trade Undoubtedly it
does to an extent, but the scarcity In our
own country has had its effect and the
British coal exporters have also learned
in more than one instance how to evade
the payment of the shilling ton export
duty All coal which Is valued at less
than 6s. per ton can be sent out of Eng
land free of this duty. This Is a low val
uation, but the exporters have been
known to average their exports so that
coal actually worth more than 6s. ton
can be classified on the free list. The
government takes the colliery invoices
and contract papers as the evidence of
the value of the exports. Now, If an
exporter Is 10 SEND ONT TWO shipments.
one of quite a little under 6s ton value
and the other OF a higher value than 6s.
he averages the whole amount thus
bringing 1t under 6s., and thus avoiding
the payment of duty on some coal. which.
If invoiced alone, would be clearly dutia-
BILE. As a large amount of cheap coal is
sent to France, this MAJ have had some
effect in making it possible for the Brit
ish to maintain their hold on the markets
there.
II Germany desires to crowd the Brit
ish exporters out Of the French market
1t can only be done by furnishing coal
of equal quality at lower price The
same statement is true of our own coal
exports To win trade from Great Brit
ain we must make better offers to French
customers than can she With the pres
ent prices for fuel abroad our coal oper-
ators would have to sell their product In
France on a basis that would yield them
considerably less return than they can
count on from sales made nearer home
It is not surprising, therefore, that the
French market is neglected at this time,
nor was it ever of more than trivial i'm
portance in comparison with our total
coal trade.

ASKED FOR BY CREDIT MEN
Law to Prevent Small Dealers from Being
Great Rascals.

| Great kaScaIss
Springfield. Ills, March Is. - The
| Chicago Credit Mems association is
| trying again to pass its bill to prevent
| the sale of mortgaged stocks. The
Credit Mems association is an impOr-
tant organization. Every large whole
sale house in Chicago is represented
on its roster. For years it has tried
to secure the passage of law to pre-
vent small dealers from surreptitiously
disposing of stock of goods on which
they owe mortgages TO the wholesalers.
Two years ago the bill was killed in
the closing hours of the session after
n savage fight.
This year Representative Owen, of
lie Roy, introduced the same bill, as
it was thought that, coming from
country member, the measure would
have a better show. Ahe bill Is entitled
IAN act to prevent sales of merchan-
disc in fraud of creditors AS it is of
vital interest to business men gener-
ally. its principal section is given:
''That sale of any portion OF
stock of merchandise, otherwise than
in the ordinary course of trade or in
the sellers business. or n sale Of an
entire stock of merchandise in gross,
will be presumed to be fraudulent and
void as against the creditors of the
seller unless the seller and purchaser
shall at least ten days before the sale
make Il full and detailed inventory
showing the quantity, and so far as
possible the exercise of reasona bic dill
gence, the cost price to the seller of
each article to be included i'm the sale,
and unless such purchaser shall at
least ten days before the sale, in good
faith, make full. explicit inquiries of
the seller as to the names and places
of residence or places of business of
each and all of the creditors of the
seller and the amount owing each cred
itor, and unless the purchaser shall,
at least ten days before the sale, I'm
good faith, notify or cause to be mott
fed personally or by registered mail
each of the sellers creditors of whom
the purchaser has knowledge or can,
with the exercise of reasonable dill
gence, acquire knowledge of said pro
posed sale, and of the said cost price
of the merchandise to be sold and or
the price proposed to be paid therefor
by the purchaser. The seller shall at
least ten days before such sale fully
