To generate such terrific heat the lab
oratory will be equipped with electric arcs
capable of generating 1900 degrees F.
This greatest artificial heat will not, how
ever, represent the highest temperature
reached in earth's furnace. Even if this
1860 degrees, a which lime bois. were
doubled there would not be reproduced in
the laboratory the heat which tha earth
probably reached at one time. But such Il
temperature would not be needed in the
laboratory, according to DR.. Day, as it
would merely boil all rocks into vapor,
and he desires merely to melt them all. as
he is now able to do. For melting metals
which do not require these vast tempera-
lures the laboratory is equipped with doZ-
ems of little cylindrical furnaces made Of
magnesium and heated with a spiral coil
of platinum inside. These are known as
platinum furnaces" and they cost two
or three hundred dollars apiece
While rocks are thus being manufac-
tured artificially the forces playing a part
in their formation are being measured.
Then the manner in which they combine
must be studied; also their stability, their
behavior under water, etc. What will be
the effect of the enormous pressures, as
well as these enormous temperatures, is
not yet known. No one else has ever en-
deavored to find out.
Can Manufac cture Diamonds.
Should Dr. Day Wish TO manufacture
diamonds artificially, as other experiment.
ers have done on a small scale, he will
have the best equipment in the world for
doing so. Those who have made them
thus far have had no means of finding
out at what temperatures they were pro-
duced and no pressures have been meas
ured in this connection. DIR. Day says
that he hardly expects to produce dia-
monds or other precious stones as such,
but in the course of his work it is more
than probable that some light will be
thrown upon the very puzZling problem as
to how diamonds came to be formed in
the earth and why they are not mora
common: also why the very same ingre-
dents will in one case be crystallized as
rubies and in others as sapphires, and in
still others as ordinary emery.
Sounder estimate of the age of earth
than has hitherto been made should re-
suit from the work of the laboratory, but
DR.. Day says he hopes the prime result
to be the building up Of a new science of
mineralogy. Science has classified min
erals, but does not understand their re-
different ones of the same chemical COM
position. What is wanted is a knowl-
edge of the relationship Of minerals as
complete as that of the relationship of
chemicals.
I'VE wish to know why we can find iron
ore in one place and not in another. for
example" said the director in conclusion.
Our work here will throw light on such
problems and thus will have an economic
side, especially as regards diamonds. gold
and silver. We may learn, among> other
things, why diamonds are found only in
two or three places"

If the patient is inclined TO slip down IN

For the latter piece OF board six inches

SHOWS FALLING OFF.
Personal Property Decrease Is Sixty
four Thousand

According to the returns made to
the county commissioners by William
Henderson, the assessor for the city of
Topeka, the value of personal proper
~ subject to taxation for the year
Z 1907 is over $4,000 less than it was
for last year. and this Notwithstanding
the fact that Topeka has gained ma
ter1aIly in population during the year
Among the reasons for this decrease
is the new law which exempted the
personal property of the Knights and
Ladies of Security from taxation; the
removal of the Jones Dry Goods COM
the firm of Paxton & Paxton. did not
open up in time to have their stock
assessed for this year, and the closing
up of the Topeka Cash store.
The total value of the personal
property listed by the city assessor
this year amounts to $5,3S9,09O. OF
this amount $4,S72 is exempted from
taxation under constitutional pro-
visions and for the purpose of levying
the tax the balance is divided in half,
leaving $2,450,945 as the value of the
personal property which will be taxed
as against $2,514,490 for last year.
1t is quite evident from the returns
of the city assessor that a considerable
portion of the personal property in the
city was not found and listed for the
purpose of taxation. and the values
placed on some of the personal prop
erty do not seem to he as high as they
should For instance. there are only
