Making True Diamonds.

The production of artificial Gia-
monds has long been dream ot the
eXperimenter The conditions unuer
nature are pretty well UNDERSTOOD,
and on small scale they have tor
some time been duplicated IN the
laboratory and even-though npre
| quite unwittingly-in the workshop.
| Nothing more Is necessary than TO
reduce carbon--a bit OF coal or grap-
hite or lampblack-to a liquid con
dition, combine 1t with a solvent
and maintain 1t under great press
ure until 1t cools, when crystals of
| the pure carbon Will form Just as
! do crystals OF quartz or sugar or salt
under like condtions-and these cry
stats OF carbon constitute true dia-
monds. But the difficulty lies in the
extreme reluctance with which carbon
assumes the liquid state. Under
| pressure, to be sure, 1t will liquefy;
| but the pressure Is about fifteen tons
| to the square inch. In the depths OF
the earth, such a pressure may be
applied by the weight of geological
strata: but how may 1t be attained
| in the laboratory?
A most ingenious answer to this
| question was found by Professor
| Henri Moissan. of Paris. 1t Is based
| Oh the well known fact that the metal
| iron has the property-which it
| shares with a few other substances,
| including water-of expanding in
| stead of contracting as it passes
/ from the liquid to the solid state:
combined with the further fact that
liquid iron absorbs or dissolves car
| bon. much as water does sugar, in
| increasing quantity with increasing
temperature. Moissan fills an iron
| receptacle with pure iron and pure
carbon obtained by calcining sugar.
closes 1t tightly, and rapidly heats
| II to the highest temperature attain
able In an electric furnace. bringing
Il to degree Of heat at which the
| lime furnace begins to melt. and the
| iron voatilizes in clouds.
The dazzling fiery receptacle is
| then lifted out and plunged instantly
| Into cold water, until its outer sur
| face is cooled and hardened. thus
| forming shell of iron that holds
| the interior contents with an inflex-
ible grip. AS this molten interior
matter cools, the carbon separates
from the iron solvent in liquid drops,
| and under the almost unimaginable
pressure of expansion of the solidi-
flying iron these liquid drops become
solid crystals of diamond.-Every-
body's.

"Thcrc's Many a Slip"

The proverb There's many a
slip 'twiXt the cup and the lip" is
probably the oldest of all the fam
iliar English sayings It's origin is
found in the following ancient Greek
legend told by Lycophron. Ancaeus,
the son of the god Poseidon an King
of the Leleges of Samos, took great
pride in his vineyards, and treated
most harshly the slaves who worked
them.
\ prophet predicted that as a pun
ishment for his cruelty he would not
live to enjoy the wine pressed from
his grapes. The harvesting ana tie
winemaking passed in safety, an
finally Ancaeus stood jeering at the
prophecy with the first cup OF wins
In his hand. But the seer replied
to the Kings mockery MANY 'hinss
happen between the cup an. the
ftp" At that moment wild boar
broke into the vineyard and Ancaeus
setting the cup down untasteC hur-
ried off to direct the chase, in which
ne was killed.

DANGER IN ORIENTAL RUGS
Antiques =sd Near Antiques May
Both Re the Vehicle for Germs.

Or. Remlinger, head OF the Past
eur Institute in Constantinople, han
been making an investigation of Or
tental rugs and carpets and has pub
Iished summary of his results In
The German Journal Of General and
Applied Hygiene. He finds that the
carpets of the better class, the highly
priced antiques or near antiques, con-
stitute a serious menace to health
unless they are rut snrough a radical
cleansing and disinfecting process.
The real antiques which have been
In use In Oriental houses or bazaars
for years or generations have been
exposed to the contagion of count
fsss disease germs. Their texture
fits them In peculiar way to gather
and retain these indefinitely.
These genuine antiques are far
less Objectionable than the counter
felt antiques which have been arti-
fcally mellowed. One of the least
objectionable methods used to soften
The colors in the degree that the
European and American market calls
Tor Is to bury the carpets in trenches
With quantities OF stable refuse.
When taken up they are little likely
10 receive a thorough cleansing.
Sometimes the carpets are laid
down in frequented places to be
walked on, thus accommodating the
bRcterfa laden dust of the Eastern
city streets. Or rug may be lent
to 4 beggar or street vender, who
sits on 1t and sleeps in 1t until It
acquires the semblance OF age.
DR.. Remlinger points out that tub
ercutosis, throat diseases and cat
a-rh are prevalent in the rug and
carpet trade. He Is OF opinion that
they are contracted from handling
the fabrics and breathing the air
In which they are opened and agitat-
ed as they are shown to customers.
The doctor also expresses the opin-
ion that some otherwise unaccount-
able outbreaks of tropical enteric
disorders that have taken place In
Oriental rugs.
The most thorough and efficient
process of cleansing would be disn-
fectfon by steam. This could do no
harm to the rugs and IL as an abso-
lutsly certain method of killing bac-
terra. He thinks that it should be
generally adopted as a preliminary
TO tue importation of Eastern fabrics
into any Occidental country.
