MAKES DIAMONDS OUT

CARPENTER MANUFACTURES HIS
OWN GEMS
MIddlesex Man Discovers Method

snecia1 cable to me Herald.

Special Cable to The Herald
LONDON, Sept. 23.-A. E. Mears of
Princes road, Ashford Middlesex, is a
carpenter by trade. He makes doors
and similar things for living, and in
his moments of leisure he makes dia-
monds as a hobby.
He does not make them of wood, but
of sugar, and maintains that they are
as good as anything that ever came out
of Kimberley.
Now that Mr. Mears has probed the
mystery of diamond manufacture, it is
as easy to him as shelling peas, and he
is frankly surprised that the world has
existed for so many thousands of years
without solving this elementary scien-
tific problem.
But it has not been easy to learn. Mr..
Mears informed a reporter yesterday
that for ten years he has spent all his
spare time and all his spare money in
learning how to make diamonds by
hand.
Years of Study
For ten years he has thought, studied
and dreamed of diamonds, until now he
can make them as a chemist makes
pills. He has spent much time and
much money in his experiments, and
the fragrance of much burned sugar
has been wasted on the desert air, but
he is quite certain that the result is
q diamond of first water
'It is perfectly simple" said MI
Mears, adding as an afterthought,
when you know how to do it. %
First you take your sugar; any
sugar will do-Demerara, castor, crys-
tallized or loaf, twopence Va pound or
fourpence a pound, don't care what i.
is. You then"
But at this point it apparently occur
red to Mr.. Mears that he was about to
divulge a secret that might, easily be
the means of paying off the national
debt and leave little for current ex-
penses. The thought gave him pause,
but he went so far as to say that the
sugar was first turned into carbon and
IQen, Dy easy Stages, lllIO hlciillOlA0o'
Mr.. Mears stated modestly that he
had not yet sold or attempted to sell
any of his diamonds. The largest he
has yet produced is a crystal three
has some bigger ones in the oven, so TO
speak.
Size of Walnuts
He is now concentrating all his ener-
gies on increasing the size of the gems.
He is quite confident that he can pro-
duce them the size of walnuts, and
hopes yet to show a wondering world
a homemade diamond as big as an
apple.
When Mr.. Mears was asked whether
he really thought his productions were
actual diamonds, he replied that he
did not think" but was absolutely
certain they were.
He had applied two tests. First, he
had cut out a kitchen window with
one, and, secondly, he had tested them
with hydrofuoric acid. The reporter
put it TO Mr.. Mears that anyone can
buy an implement for ninepence which
will cut out a kitchen window, and he
agreed readily. He, however, main
tanned that hydrohuoric acid corrodes
anything but a diamond, and that his
crystals had stood the acid without the
slightest change.
Mr.. Mears did not mention how many
diamonds could be made to the pound
of sugar. but he stated emphatically
that he could make diamond, worth
$500 on any market, for less than six
pence.

a number of years | suffered from
a persistent aching across the small
of my back and through the kid
neys. At times my back was so
bad that l could hardly sit still,
get up or down, or lift anything
even of ordinary weight. At night
it bothered me so that | could not

CLIMATIC CURES.

The influence of climatic con-
ditions in the cure of consumption
is very much overdrawn. The
poor patient, and the rich patient
too, can do much better at home by
proper attention to food digestion,
and a regular use of German Syrup.
Free expectoration in the morning
is made certain by German Syrup,
so is a good nights rest and the
absence of that weakening cough
and facilitating night sweat. Rest
less nights and the exhaustion due
to coughing, the greatest danger
and dread of the consumptive, can
be prevented or stopped by taking
German Syrup literally and regu-
larly. Should you be able to go to
a warmer cline, you will find that
of the thousands of cOnsumptives
there, the few who are benefited
and regain strength are those that
use German Syrup. Trial bottle

FIRST DEATH ON f. d G.
RAILWAY.

On Monday afternoon n man by
the name of Orla Jacobs, who lived
near Sadieville, went to sleep on
the track of the F. d G.. Railway
betweeliNDuvall Station and George
town. The place he chose for his
bed was just around sharp curve
i'm the road. A freight train came
along shortly after. and, as soon as
the man was discovered, every effort
was made to stop the train in time
to save his life, but in vain. The
man never knew what hurt him.
The body was taken on to George
town and delivered to the coroner of
Scott county, vino held an inquest
and a verdict was rendered in ac-
cord with the facts. The remains
were afterwards delivered to his
wife, who was at once notified.
The man had heen seen on the
streets of Georgetown that morning
considerably under the influence of
liquor, and it is supposed he started
to walk horne and became sleepy
and lay down with the awful result.
Another victim to the liquor curse.
No blame can be attached TO the
railroad men. This is the first fatal
accident OH the road.
