FRUITFUL FURNACES
INTENSE HEAT PRODUCES
PRECIOUS STONES.
Scientists have Succeeded In Pluck
Ing Real Diamonds and Rubies from
the Crueibie 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 80 improved that a degree OF
heat can be produced. approaching the
extreme temperatures, which were un-
doubtedly a 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 crystal-the diamond. They
are remarkably clear and bright. and
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

None of the men appear to have more

and, on the whole, they weathered the
trials of first-day practice very Well.
Work this morning was limited largely
to coaching the pitchers. kittredge was
behind the bat, and took each man IN

drilling the slabmen in the lntrlcacles

pitcher to do little more than to give
