CUSTOMS OF THE NASAL

Sir Harry Johnston writes OF the
Nasal. that African race which has
been giving so much trouble to Ger
many of late: "The young men are
all warriors, theoretically, between
the ages approximately OF II and %.
When in this stage they are known in
their own language as el moran.
They pull the head hair out to Its
greatest length. W. sometimes twist
ing and plating fiber and string into
their wool. The hair is then thickly
coated with mutton fat and red clay
and tied into perukes. All hair on the
face and body is plucked out by iron
tweezers. The skin is kept constantly
fabricated with mutton fat mixed with
red clay, but as a rule the bod" is not
d~isagreeably oily, and this fabrication
only has the result Of giving a beauti.
full polish to their ~statuelike forms.
AS regards the body, there Is prob.
ably no more beautifully formed type

The Tucumcari news. [volume] (Tucumcari, N.M.) 1905-1907, 1906-05-05

The face is sometimes in keeping with
the body, but more often has a rather
brutal aspect. The Nasal are not pure
negroes, but obviously received a very
long while & a slight infusion Of
Hamitic blood from races dwelling to
the east Of the White Nile. While
they are in the young.man.warrior
stage the Nasal live principally on
milk and on blood drawn from the
veins of living cattle. They also oc.
casionally eat the meat of oxen. goats
or sheep.
when a Nasal decides that he has
had enough knocking about and has
accumulated sufficient property on
which TO retire he decides 10 marry.
This is usually about the age Of 81
to 80. After marriage he shaves his
head, or at any rate keeps the hair
of his head very close cropped. He
ceases TO anoint himself with mutton

In conclusion. it may be said that the union
has rendered impossible any recurrence of the
ante-Reformation days of strife and bloodshed
between two peoples whom nature and racial
affinity designed to dwell together in a1nity. 1t
has given scope for the realization of Anglo
Scotch imperial expansion by furnishing the
political conditions for the building up of vast
empire. Scotland in alliance with France would
have hampered the expansion of the English
race. Scotland in combination with England
has made that expansion far greater and more
facile than it otherwise would have been it
has enabled Great Britain to play on the stage
of the world a more considerable role than either
of its nloieties could have accomplished sngly.
1t has furnished a magnificent example of the
advantages of arbitration in international dis
putes, and constitutes a demonstration of the
possibilities of the union of two distinct yet
kindred nations for mutual advantage without
the forfeiture by either of its distinctive Gus

SCOTLAND'S PRIDE.
Proposal to Complete a Great Ma
tiOnaL Monument.

Just eighty-seven years ago the proposal to erect
a great national monument In Scotland was being
discussed with ardor. One of its most powerful
advocates was Sir Archibald Alison and it
supported by King George (who laid the founda-
ton stone) and by nearly all leading Scotsmen
from the highest to the lowest.
The great monument was TO symbolic the
pride Of Otlsnd'-to visualize for the people of
Scoland's capital city the genesis OF her indepen-
dence, the sentiment of which, some thought. un-
der the influence of the Union. might possibly be
lost.
Fletcher of Saltoun had prophesed and preached
that the removal to London of the 'throb OF en-
pire'' which belongs to n metropolis would trans
form Edinburgh into mere provincial town. and
that the wealth Of Midlothian would be attracted
by and merged into the wealth of London. The
latter part OF the prophecy has come true. for few

hurgh nowadays houses by the Forth. This
is. therefore, only additional argument In favor

dinary conditions. 1t is one OF the few elements
which pass directly from the solid 10 the gaseous
conditiOn-like iodine. NJ. Moissan, like earlier
investigators. had therefore to abandon the idea
Of thus forming diamonds
But there is another way OF producing crys-
tails Instead of melting the substance which
we desire TO crystalline, il is sufficient to dis
solve IL and allow 1t to crystalline out OF the
solution by evaporating the latter The crys-
tails of barley sugar which are to be seen In
every confeCtioner's window thus produced
Molten iron happens to be a good solvent for
carbon, which is usually set free when il CooIs
in the form of graphite scales. NJ MOissan,
however. hit upon the brilliant idea OF making
the molten iron charged with carbon cool under
great pressure. This pressure is easily OBJ
tained by using the property which cast iron
shares with water and few other bodies that
it expands instead of contracting at the moment
when it sOlidifeS.
NJ Moissan thus melted iron mixed with
carbon I'm his electric furnace. at a temperature
of about 1000 degrees Fahrenheit. and then
plunged 1t into water or molten lead. This
sudden cooling sOlidifed the outer skin OF the
ingot. The expansion of the inner part. still
liquid. solidifying within this hard skin. pro-
duced enormous pressure, and it was found that
the carbon under this pressure actually crystal
lized into minute diamonds. The largest vet
made is only about one-fftieth of an inch in
diameter, but they are genuine diamonds, and
NJ. Moissan is thus the first and only diamond
maker.
The same process In nature gives rise 10 the
discovery of tiny diamonds in many iron mete-
oriteS, like the huge one which fell at Coon
Butte. in Arizona, and which an expedition is

of Kimberley have been produced in similar
fashion; but IL is extremely doubtful whether
