gether in small cottages, are open to

very bad. The intersection Is a wall
low, and in three directions the water
covers the greater part OF the thorough.
fares. The houses. which for the most
part are from foot to two feet below
the street level, are merely structures
on stills raised above the water.
Even this the residents stood for but
they kicked when the mosquitoes began
to appear in clouds. The Board Of
Health was sought and that depart
ment sent down n quantity of oil, which
was spread upon the water surface. An

mark on the doorsteps. and all wood
work is now saturated with 1t. Plants
are smeared with oil and grass looks
anything but a greensward. Chickens

greasy.

whatever has been done on the street,
and now observe the result. We are
living in wallow and there Is no tell
ing how much sickness will result
among us. And we can't afford to be
sick, either. We are poor people"
In order to reach houses along these
streets the residents have been COM
PEELED to make scaffolds close to the
fences and then lay boards along the
tops Each gateway has a board lead

There are some good streets In Ka-

lots within the blocks. 1t was the pur-
pose many years ago to raise the whole
of Kewalo section. AS time went on.
however houses sprang up here and
there, until the district is now thickly
populated, but little filling has been
done. The road department built
streets up to the level required. These
streets formed raised gridiron all
over the district, but they are far from
perfect.

done good work all over the city in

PARTISAN CHEMIST
MAKES REAL DIAMONDS

LONDON, Dec. 1.-When the De
Beers mines in South Africa are eX-
notwithstanding to the management,
in about eleven years-and other
sources of natural diamonds are also
used up, diamond lovers will still be
able to indulge in the purchase of real
gems artificially produced. These have
nothing in common with the familiar
artificial diamonds. They are produced
by a mechanical process which repro
duces as nearly as possible the condi-
tions under which diamonds are crystal
LIKED in the bowels of the earth.
Prof. Moissan, the eminent Paris
chemist, has been explaining his method
of making real diamonds in his labor
atory. He takes absolutely pure iron,
freed from sulphur, silicon and phos-
phorus, and packs it in carbon cru
chile with pure charcoal obtained from
sugar. This is heated in an electric
furnace, the invention of which alone
make possible the production of the
pure gem.
The furnace heats the crucible above
1000 degrees Fahrenheit, at which tenn.
pcrature the iron melts like wax and
saturates itself into the carbon. The
crucible is then lifted out and plunged
into cold water The sudden cooling
solidifies the outer skin, while the iron
in the center is still liquid.
The process of qualification exerts
n tremendous pressure ON this central
mass and the result is that the carbon
which was soaked up by the molten iron
