Explosions Wade Diamonds.

Ifarper's Week.?
Some interesting investigations bear
n,g on the artificial production of dla-
lnonds have recently been carried on
iry Sir William Crookes. For the for
nation of carbon crystals in the form
of diamonds intense heat and consid-
cradle pressure are essential, and this.
Sir William Croolles found, was pro.
duced in the course of some expert
6nts On high explosives performed ly
Sir Frederick Abel and Sir Andrew
Nobel. In these tests gunpowder aad
cordite were fired in close steel sylin,
ders under such conditions that press
urcs as great as 95 tom to the square
inch and temperatures as high as s.
400 degrees absolute were obtained.
Removing Tic residues from the cyl.
.inders, the various substances were
carefully tested and examined and
certain minute crystals we're found
which were undoubtedly diamonds.
This was demonstrated by drying the
residue and fusing it at red heat III
potassium bifouride to which nitre
was added during the process of fusion.
The residue thus obtained vas then
washed and heated in sulphuric acid,
after which the largest crystalline par.

ownership and transfer.
Sometimes two men hit on the
same coat Of arms for their hogs and.
cattle. But as they are not likely to
be neal neIghbors, there Is not often
much difficulty on that score, espe.
cially as the subject of marks is to
distinguish the animals in the woods
from the %promiscuous herd. Where
two men have the same mark. each
is usually familiar enough with his
own stock to make nc mistakes.
Honesty and fairness are the rules
among the old Scotch stock Of this
vicinity, and few disputes arise over
marks. 1t is the unmarked animal
that raises the argument. At n
time the law was so rigid in regard
to marks that no man might kill an
unmarked animal without first serv-
ing notice on all who might possibly
be the owner. There is no such
rigid Interpretation of the stock mark
now as in the past, as fence laws are
gradually extending to apply to a
greater territory, and where stock is
fenced the marking custom is not
generally observed. With the denser
settlements Of the country the inter-
esting science of herardry OF Its ap,
plicatlon to the ear of the hog and
COW will gradually become less and
less in Importance in North Carolina,
until the only factor to distinguish
one of the partician order from the
plain barnyari plebean will be that
found in the Jersey Cattle Club books
or on the Berkshire registers. Good
stock in this State is rapidly displac-
ing the scrubstock that has made the
South famous for a century. When
the change has become more complete
the farmer will fence his stock and
keep it of of the range, and the in,
teresting spectacle of pinked and
decorated cars will be another Of the
quaint traditions of the picturesque
South which is giving place to the
intensely practical one
Fortunately, the raZorback hog has
big ears or he would not always be
able to accommodate the marks that
at times seem necessary to indicate
his ownership. OF course not all the
stock is so profusely marked. Some
never changes hands from the time it
sets u from it's first sight of day
light to its last glimpse Of the sau-
sage mill. 1t is more tame and I'M
poetic than that which has been the
property of several, although some of
the marks are comprehensive enough
in themselves to attract attention, es.
pecially if the dogs have added their
share 10 the ear trimming. This is
not SO frequent eitheras might be sun,
posed. for the able bodied hog resents
familiarity on the part Of the dog, and
the dog has sense enough as a rule TO
re.pect a sharp fansed hogs wishes.

A new idea with great possibilities

furnished are merely suggestive OF the
animals to lie drawn, but wherever the

those OF the 6 ,ests who were artists,

made sketches which are less interest.
