FRUITFUL FURNACES
INTENSE HEAT PRODUCES
PRECIOUS STONES.
Scientists Have Succeeded in Pluck
ing Real Diamonds and Rubies from
the CrucibIe of the Furnace.

Recent advices from France state
that Prof. Moissan, the eminent sci
enlist and inventor, has actually sue
ceeded in making genuine diamonds
and rubies. He employs for this pur-
pose the electric furnace, which has
been so improved that degree of
heat can be produced, approaching the
extreme temperatures which were I'M
doubtedly factor in the formation of
minerals and gems in the interior of
the earth.
The rubies obtained are of large
size, weighing 10 or Is carats, and in
quality and color equal and even sur
pass those found in the earth. The
natural forces attending the formation
of diamonds seem to have been more
complicated, and so far the diamonds
resulting from the Efforts of the sci
entists have been very small, but still
they are positively identified as the
carbon crystalline diamond. They
on a small scale as fine specimens as
natures own product.
The electric furnace has enriched
chemistry with a whole series of
new compounds. Probably the one of
most value to mankind at large is Cal
cium Carbide. The simple applica-
ton of water to Calcium Carbide gen.
crates the gas Acetylene, which is
now being commonly used for light
ing.
The peculiar merits of Acetylene
light are its brilliance and high can
die power, ease of installation, eco
nomy and its adaptability for lighting
buildings of every description, regard
less of their location.

Cure to Stay Curec,

Wapello, Iowa, Sept. 18th (SpeciaD
One of the most remarkable cures
ever recorded in Louisa County is
that of Mrs. Minnie Hart of this place.
Mrs. Hart was in bed for eight
months and when she was able to sit
up she was all drawn up on one side
and could not walk across the room.
Dodd's Kidney Pills cured her. Speak
ing of her cure, Mrs. Hart says:
Yes, Dodd's Kidney Pills cured me
after l was in bed for eight months
and l know the cure was complete for
that was three years ago and l have
not been down since. In four weeks
from the time l started taking them
l was able to make my garden. No
body can know how thankful l am to
be cured or how much l feel l owe
to Dodd's Kidney Pills.
This case again points out how
much the general health depends on
the Kidneys. Cure the Kidneys with
Dodd's Kidney Pills and nine-tenths
of the suffering the human family is
heir to, will disappear.

Famous Woman's Exploit.

Mrs. French Sheldon, the famous
woman explorer, believes that her
greatest triumph was her descent to
the shores of Lake Chala in Africa.
The lake lies deep down in the crater
of an extinct volcano. No less au-
thority than Sir Henry Johnston de-
clared that nobody unless possessed
of the holding capacity of an ape or
the wings of bird, could ever de-
scend the almost perpendicular and
smooth cliffs to the water far below.
But Mrs. French Sheldon got down
to the lake, and sailed across and
around it.
