The MAKING Of Diamonds.

It Is quite possible to manufacture
diamonds Indeed a famous French
man Of science, Moissan, made very
large numbers by means of bis cleo
trio furnace. His process was to dis
solve Jumps of sugar In molten iron,
subjecting the solution to enormous
pressure. Lump sugar may be said to
consist simply of water and diamond.
It is the case that the diamond is mere
" crystallized carbon. There are three
kinds of carbon plumbago, graphite
and diamond composition of all Of
which is identical When charcoal is
dissolved in molten iron, graphite Is
formed. All the diamonds found In
Borneo, Brazil, India and South Africa
are made in much the same manner
that is, by the action of great heat and
enormous pressure. Charcoal formed
from wood has been baked into dia-
monds, the enormous heat and pres
sure of the earths interior causing the
beautiful white stone to crystalline out.
Although artificial distinct from imi-
tation) diamonds have been made for
some time, the cost has been prohib-
tive, while the stones have been of but
insignificant size and value.

A Little Gard Trick.

= A Russian priest was so devoted to
the amusement Of card playing that
he played up to the last moment be-
fore commencing the church services,
On one occasion, having particularly
good hand dealt him, he thrust the
cards into his pocket, intending to re-
turn and finish the game after the
service. Unluckily the cards fell out
on the church floor, to the extreme
scandal of the congregation. The wit
ty priest, however, was fully equal to
the occasion. At the conclusion of the
service he beckoned up one of the
choristers and asked him the names of
several Of the cards, which the boy
knew correctly. He then suddenly
asked the lad the name of the next
saints day, which the child could not
tell. - 49,. ~.
"Seev' cried the priest, turning to
the congregation. "You teach your
children the names Of every card in
the pack and leave them ignorant OF
their religion. Let this be the last
time am compelled to bring playing
cards into the church to shame you"
And picking up his hand he made an
honorable retreat.-London Answers.

Famous pf1uraa.

IN the ceiling Of the dining room IN
Nero's golden house, z on the Palatine
hill, were compartments inlaid with
ivory which revolved, showering per-
fumes and flowers on the guests.
Flowers were presented to the guests
i by slaves. They were crowned with
wreaths. Usually after one course the
tables were removed and others placed
before the guests. Throughout the
meal drinking continued until the ban
queters fell under the table stupefed.
In those days men lived to eat. Great
generals spent fortunes accumulated
in years Of warfare IN gratifying their
appetites. Lucullus on one dinner with
Cicero and Pompey spent $4,000
drachmas, or $1,000. Pithylus, who
was famed for the delicacy and origi-
nality Of his dinners, wrapped his
tongue In linen when not using 1t. That

The Lecturers Subject,

II call my lecture Glass;" said the
lecturer, mot because 1t says anything
about that subject, but because Of the
nature Of 1t. TO begin with, it is the
sort Of lecture that anybody can see
through. Then I am liable to make a
number Of breaks in it's delivery, after
which it will be full Of funny cracks.
In addition, it requires lot Of sand
to produce it, to say nothing Of the
hot air employed. The agents have
blown it pretty much to the commit
tees. -.
Another point Of resemblance be-
tween my lecture and glass is that
when cut it is much more valuable. I
shan't refer to the subject any more,
though it is not a safe one to drop.

Of this name anyway is my knowledge
Of the fascination foreign titles have
for the American people,"

Fastidious Smokers.


"Did you know" asked one member
of group in the hotel lobby, that an
Indian is much more fast1dious than
white man In the matter of smoking?
I saw when I was in Montana several
Of their war dances and the councils
afterward. You know, they sit in
circle on the ground and pass the pipe
of good fellowship around in silence
Each man takes two or three puffs
and then hands the pipe to his next
neighbor. But if you notice you will
see that in the whole circuit which it
makes the mouthpiece is never wet.
The red man merely lays the end Of
the stem against his lower lip and,
keeping his mouth partly open, draws
deep breath. Removing the pipe, he
exhales the smoke and then perhaps
repeats the process, but he never puts
the mouthpiece into his mouth in the
common 'paleface' fashion. If he is
asked to smoke a peace pipe after a
white man, he first wipes off the end
of the pipestem where it has been in
the previous smokers mouth."-New

Milwaukee, July 23.--The Demo
cratic state convention was called to
order at the Alhambra theater by
State Chairman II. III. Manson, who,
after reading the call, made the an
nouncement Of the selection. of Melvin
w. Hoyt as temporary chairman.
Mr.. Hoyt Immediately delivered a
lengthy speech, in which he fayed op-
posing parties. In closing he paid a
warm tribute to the Democratic pres
idential candidate, William Jennings
Bryan.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Hoyt's
speech the various district chairmen
announced the makeup of the various
committees, after which an adjourn.
ment was taken for the day.
All gossip in connection with the
convention has been confined to the
makeup of a state ticket, the plat
form seemingly being a side issue.
John A. Awkward, who ran for gov.
ernor two years ago and was defeated,
is out for the nomination again and
Is likely to get it. There has been
considerable talk Of opposition to Ayl
ward, but it has not been STRONG
enough to cut much of a figure. The
opposition to him seems to be with
out a leader who has strength enough
to gather anywhere near majority OF
the delegates.
Burt Williams of Ashland Is the
most prominently spoken of for sec
ond place. For secretary of state 7
J. Cunningham of Chippewa Falls is
in the lead. Byron Barwig of May.

parched district of Arizona was
brought to a Minnesota hosital to
undergo surgical operation. Be.
fore going to the table the afflicted
man made the request that in the
event of death his body be Gre
mated. The operation was unsuc-
cessful and the man died. The
body was sent to Saint Paul
crematory, where it was thrust
into the fiery furnace. After it
had remained in the furnace the
time required to reduce it to ashes,
one of the attendants opened the
door and was surprised to see the
man alive and in the best of health.
The man raised up in his iron box
and angrily exclaimed: For the
good Lords sake, shut that door;
this is the first time I have been
