Doesn't Amount to Much. Anyhow.

New York, Dec. 29.-Several lead
ing jewelers. on being interviewed
here seemed to take but little interest
in Moissau's discovery. The head of
one firm said he had seen artificially
crystalized diamonds Is years ago.
They were extremely minute and were
valueless, yet they cost $4,000 to
manufacture. Diamonds We're being
POUNDS in such enormous quantities in
South Africa today that they would
have to be produced very cheaply,
indeed, to pay for manufacturing The
ring" in South Africa were only
able TO keep up the price by keeping
the stones off the market. II the
diamonds in South Africa in possess
sion of the De Beers alone were put
on the market suddenly, the price of
stones would fall at least SO per cent.

FUND FOR SURVEYS.
Oregon viii BE Asked to Appropria-
ate $4,000 Extra.

Through Elwood Mead, chief of ir-

the government has advanced a prop
osition that If the Oregon legislature
will appropriate $4,000 at the Janu-
ary session for continuing work in the
Beaver state, Uncle Sam will provide
a like sum.
This does not include $4,000 set
aside through a special appropriation
for Investigations in the Willamette
valley, and in all there would be
$4,000 available for the undertake
ing. This would cover the operations
for two years, says a Portland paper.
Mr.. Mead has written Secretary j..
B. Laber, of the Portland Board of
Trade. and State Engineer Lewis on
the subject. He points out that, as
there will be 100000 acres Of land

MAKING OF DIAMONDS.
Fact Undisputed, But II is Made Light

Paris, Dec. 29.-Before the mem
bers of the Academy of Science here
today Professor Henry Moissau, ex-
planned the process by which he
made diamonds out of iron and car
bon. Moissau was recently awarded
the Noble prize, being the man who
first succeeded in making diamonds
artificially.
He explained that his method by
which this miracle of modern science
is achieved, is to take pure carbon and
place in it a crucible filled with pure
iron and subject it to enormous heat.
The boiling iron saturates itself with
the carbon and is then plunged into
cold water, with the result that the
iron cools at tremendous pressure
and the carbon which it has absorbe d
becomes squeezed out crystallized in
the form of minute diamonds.

considered necessary for horses yet many
horses are so constituted that they ought
to have free access to water at night.
