VIM. HOAR HAS BEEN
 GIVEN UP FOR DEAD
IS SEVENTY FEET UNDER WATER IN DIVERS COSTUME AND HAS ONE OF HIS LEGS CAUGHT IN PIPES.

Boonton, N. J., April 12.-William Hoar, diver from New York, who was im- prisoned in seventy feet of water in the reservoir here yesterday, was this after noon given up for dead by other divers who had come to aid in rescuing him. The divers worked until, under the in- f1uence of high winds the waves on the lake caused the raft on which the pump rested, to pitch so that it was impossible longer to supply the men below with air.
 Then the pump was removed to the stone dam and on the possibility that Hoar Is still alive air is still being sent down to him. Hoar was sent here on Monday from New York to close an in- take pipe in the lake.
 To close the pipe, the gate of which was not working properly, ball of wood and lead nine feet in diameter had been low cred in front of the opening. Still water continued to flow through the pipe in all most as great volume as before. Hoar went down early yesterday afternoon 10 place the ball in proper position and his left leg became caught between the pipe and the ball, owing to the great suction.
 Engineers are now at work on the prob lem of stopping the suction at the mouth of the pipe so that the ball may be rolled away It is said that this cannot be ac- complished before tomorrow morning.

Artificial Diamonds.
From IIarper,s Weekly.

T Acii Ildt PCL 5 w ttNiy.
 The manufacture of artificial diamonds by the aid of the electric furnace has been one of the goals of electric chemists since Moissan began his important exper- iments involving the production of high temperatures. This distinguished scien- tist, 1t will be remembered, was able to crystalize carbon and to obtain true dia- monds, but they were of microscopic size, and attempts to produce larger crystals were fruitless. Recent experiments with the same purpose have been carried on in Germany by Ludwig, and while they did not result in diamonds of commercial size nevertheless they confirmed Moissans theory that the carbon crystals known as diamonds are the result of extreme tenn perature, great pressure and sudden cool ing Where Moissan employed carbon dis solved in iron which was fused by the electric arc and was at the same time under high pressure. Ludwig used carbon alone employing Q bomb into which elec- trodes were sealed, and which contained hydrogen, to produce the necessary pres sure.

SUGAR MEN MEET.
llsten to Addresses FaVorlng Pushing
 the Beet Sugar Industry.

Washington, April 12.-The Ameri- can Beet Sugar association held a meeting here today, about twenty-five persons being present, and listened to mattresses from officials from the de- partment of agriculture. Secretary Wilson told the beet sugar men that his heart was in the development of the home sugar industry.
 Dr. Galloway of the bureau of plant Industry spoke of visit of an agent of the department who investigated the workings of the beet sugar seed farms in German, France and Austria. The result of ,Ae agents observations, Dr. Galloway said, would be an effort to develop the homegrown sugar beet in the states of Washington, Utah and Colorado.
 The agent expressed the opinion that he could produce seed from which could be grown a beet containing 20 per cent of sugar This is per cent greater than the average of Europe or a production of eighty pounds more sugar to every ton of beets than here tofore had been obtained.
 The old officers and board of direct DTS were reelected.

The Parsimony of Wealth.

Upon the occasion of the presentation of an expensive loving cup recently to a New York merchant who was celebrating the semicentennial anniversary of his en- try into business the recipient gave to the donors his employees, advice on how to accumulate wealth. Many of those pres- ent had been identified with the firm headed by the cup receiver upward of a quarter of a century.
 Croesus dilated in extenso on the i'm portance of observing frugality in small things especially until the nucleus of a fortune had been established. He in- stanced as object lessons two points in his career. When incandescent mantles were introduced the magnate hesitated about adopting them in the counting room be- cause of the expense involved. Only when lit was demonstrated that economy could be effected would he apply them to gas jets During the Spanish war he paid the help in cash to save the cost of the rev. enue stamp tax wheras. formerly and since check payments were made
