only one of these that he would mem

BOY WAS SOMEWHAT MIXED.
Had Wrong Idea Of the Sound to 30
Removed.

Deacon Allen Sheldon who recently
passed away. was universally respect
ed by all who knew him, and his
stories were listened to with much de.
light, says a writer In the Boston
Herald. He used to tell the following
with great deal of interest:
When very small boy he asked his
father to let him 20 with him to the
town meeting. He went, with the
promise that when he returned he
would tell the folks what happened.
In those days the church was sup
ported by tax on every property
holder. Whatever OF interest came UP
for the church had to be voted on at
the town meeting.
The pastor being feeble and his
voice not strong, an article In the
town warrant called for the removal
OF the sounding board from over the
pastors head, since it acted as an ex.
tinguisher and not as originally
planned. When Allen returned he
told his mother about the sounding
board, and said:
"Mr. Flagg got up and said, in his
squeaky voice: Mr.. Moderator
make a motion that we remove the
sound from under the board"

which is usually set free when 1t cools
in. the form of graphite scales. M.
Moissan, however. hit upon the bril-
liant idea of making the molten iron
charged with carbon cool under great
pressure. This pressure is cas-.
lily obtained, by using the property
which cast iron shares with water
and few other bodies, that it ex.
pands instead of contracting at the
moment when it solldifies.
NJ. Moissan thus melted iron mixed
with carbon in his electric furnace. at
temperature of about 1000 degrees
Fahrenheit, and then plunged 1t into
water or molten lead. The sudden
cooling solicited the outer skin of the
ingot. The expansion of the inner
part, still liquid, on sohdifying within
this hard skin, produced enormous
pressure. and 1t was found that the
carbon under this pressure actually
crystallized into minute diamonds.
The largest yet made is only about
one-fiftieth of an inch in diameter. but
they are genuine diamonds, and M.
Moissan is thus the first and only dia-
mond maker.

About the year 1873 NJ Moissan was

the most refractory metals are con.

changes or combinations are produced
which are quite impossible at the com

nary furnaces. The investigations of
NJ. Moissan, which have been placed
freely at the disposal of the world, un.
hampered by patents, have done more
than those of any one else to advance
the use OF the electric furnace in the
industries. He was, for instance the

the most industrially important. of the
researches which M. Moissan has car
