ENGLISH GIRLS NEW POWER
Fair Young Britons Are Achieving
Wonders in the Polit-
ical Field.


English women are taking a more
active interest in politics every day.
The success of the political woman
was q foregone conclusion from the
first, Cut m of the recent develop
ments is the keen interest and active
part taken by girls-sometimes still in
their teens.
Many society women who are re-
garded as leaders of the woman's
cause have carefully supervised the po-
litical education of their daughters.
Before her marriage, Lady Marjorie
Sinclair frequently accompanied her
mother, the countess of Aberdeen, on
the platform at meetings of liberal
women, and Lady Helen S~tavordale
helped the marchioness of London
derry to discharge her duties in con-
nection with the Primrose league. An
other young society woman who prom
Uses to become a star in the political
arena is the countess of Crewe.
Probably the most interesting band
of young M politicians are the
daughters of the earl and countess OF
Carlisle, Lady Dorothy Howard, a
pretty, fair haired. fresh complex
Toned girl, and a Girton graduate, has
been accustomed to public speaking
since she was 16.

was contented to work and wait, but
the younger school believes in hustling
and promises to outstrip the old brig
ade in r-'nt of achievement.

PRODUCED A~RTlFlCIALLY.
Process by Which English Chemist
Makes Diamonds of Small
Size.

Diamonds are not born but made
with unprecedented success by DR..
Burton, of Cambridge, England, who
has proved that the inestimable gem
is a Genser form of carbon than graph
lite, and that a lesser pressure than hith-
erto has been supposed suffices for
producing artificial diamonds. He
uses a molten alloy of lead and some
metallic calcium, which can also hold
a small quantity of carbon in solution.
If the calcium is separated from the
molten mass some of the carbon crys-
tallizes. The separation of calcium
can be accomplished through steam.
If the introduction of steam is made
during full red heat small graphite
crystals are formed in the resulting
crust of lime; if the steam is intro
duced during low red heat no graphite
Is formed, but a number of micro
scopical crystals are formed. the prop
critics of which are entirely identical
with those of natural diamonds. These
diamonds possess a high retroactive
power, and therefore strengthen the
belief that some day the chemist may
produce gems of sufficient size and per-
lection to compete with the natural
stone.
