MADE REAL DIAMONDS.
But as They Were Microscopic i
 Size He Didn't Wear Them.

pr Burton of Cambridge started gunning last year on the attempt to make artificial diamonds, says the Jewellers Circular Weekly. He based his experiments on an entire ly different theory to that of the late Professor Moissan. Dr Burtons idea grew out of the assumption that dia- monds are just charcoal, only den ser.
 In order to achieve his object Dr Burton used an alloy of lead and me- tallic calcium to hold [ piece of char- coal in solution. If the calcium is separated from the fused mass part of the charcoal crystalizes. "a.
 To bring this effect about the agen- ~ of steam is brought into play. While the metallic alloy is in a state of ignition the steam is introduced and small crystals of graphite are formed. When the steam is intro duced at lower temperatures. micro scopic crystals are produced that prove to be diamonds, but only mi croscoplc ones. This is the outcome of one more of the many tedious and costly experiments.
 But the really valuable feature dis closed by the laboratory work in this case is that it knocks off it's pedestal the former theory that the real simon pure diamond of Dame Natures la boratory is formed by the influence of an excessively high temperature. fol- lowed by intense pressure on sudden cooling.
 At least this experiment of Dr Burton opens up a new theory flat can run nip and tuck with the old ones. The rival theory is that real diamonds are due to the presence of some unknown solvent of carbon separated at very high pressure.

Those plans for extensive develop ment of the Great Northern system
 in the Pacific region indicate that it is perfectly useless to worry over the state of the walking between the lakes and the seaboard westward. The railways are not going out of business. If one stays in the game, they all will, for that is railroading.

Frenehman's Mean Revenge.

A French method of taking 1t out" of an opponent has been invented by the Marquis de Dion. a prominent member of the French chamber of deputies. The marquis got annoyed with the French government, and in order to embarrass it as much as possible recently advised his con- stituents in Brittany to withdraw their deposits from the National Saw ings bank. Large withdrawals from the savings bank took place in con sequence.

| now works for the board and lodging
of himself and wife. This last part of
it is where the Times is a little Off.
The poor fellow doesn't even get his
board and lodging, but pays it him
self everywhere except in Jewell. and
was determined to pay it here, but
the committee told him his check was
no good and refused to receive 1t. We
might add that the Republican did not
receive a penny for any write up it
gave Beiderwolf or the meetings. For
the display ads brought in it received
the usual price for its space. Maybe
the Times is all right itself but its
supply of information ought to be

highly of this evangelist, and the Pio-
neer. referring to the foregoing, says,

HEAVIER and Cliff fine cultured gen.
tlemen, of extraordinary ability in
ing and job work this paper has done
for these meetings has been paid for
at the same price all of our patrons
pay. And we have been free to say
anything either for or against these
evangelists we desired. And we can
find no fault with them. All the criti-
cisnf comes from Downs, Osborne. or
some other place far from the meet
ings. So far as Smith Center Is con-
cerned, the people realize that never
before has so much good been accom-
plished in the history of the town as
has been done by the meetings now in
progress. Our only regret is that we
are not able to keep such high class
men as are conducting them with us.
but that they must soon go to other
fields of work.
In a generation when criticism is
general, it is encouraging to note at
least one evangelist whose meth DDS
and conduct are thus universally COM
mended by those who have an oppor-
tunity to know of them.

AN EvANGELIs1TC EXCEPTION.

1t is not unusual that the travelling
evangelist arouses considerable criti-
cism, and, unfortunately, it is some
times warranted. 1t is therefore re-
freshing to find one who is almost
universally commended wherever he
goes.
This man is DR.. Beiderwolf, who,
with an assistant or two and one or
two singers, has held some great
meetings at a number of points in
Kansas. One of his assistants. How
ard E. Taylor, is said to be wealthy
Philadelphia business man, who gives
much of his time to evangelical work.
Some months ago DR.. Beiderwolf
held a series of meetings in Salina
and the moral Improvement in the
town is said to have been marked.
Later he was called to Beloit, and the
same result followed there. Noting
the good that was done at Beloit. a
committee representing a number of
town and country churches in the
south half of Jewell county engaged
him for a series of meetings at Jewell
City this fall. People came, to those
meetings from all the surrounding
country. From Jewell DR.. Beiderwolf
went to Lawrence. and now he has
just closed a series of meetings at
Smith Center.
After he left Jewell criticisms of
him were made in other towns where
he was not known. and the Jewell
Republican replied to one of these
critics as follows:
THE Downs Times is informed
that this paper received over two
hundred dollars for advertising Bel
derwolf during the two weeks he was
in Jewell and that Howard r Tavlor

Iondon's Emergency Women.

The new London invention of "emer-

important bearing on the servant ques-
ton It promises to be a new and pro-
fitable occupation for capable women.
The function OF the emergency wo-
man Is to visit any household where
there is a sudden need for special SER
vices. Let us suppose that the SER
wants in your house have fallen Ill or
gone off without notice. Or 1t may be
that a batch OF country cousins have
at your wits end to cope with the ex-
ira work occasioned. You send at once
for an emergency woman
In short, one can think of innumer-
able domestic crises where the arrival
on the scene of an intelligent, capable
woman could be of inestimable value
to you as helper and adviser. There is
plenty of room for such women, but
they should be leve1-headed and eff
cient. And they cannot have too many
accomplishments.-JJ
