No Artificial Diamonds.

The complete collapse of the French
syndicate which proposed to promote
the manufacture of artificial diamonds
will cause small regret. The back
ers of the scheme had no trouble in
raising money enough, but they failed
to make good and the French courts
will see that they take the conse-
quences And yet it is not to be de-
MED that diamonds can be artificially
produced They are small, to be
sure, and the expense is enormous,
but scientists have accomplished it in
their laboratories.
BY means of enormous electrical
heat and by the employment of great
power. tiny diamonds, as perfect as
those found in the mines of South
Africa. have been manufactured. OF
course such experiments are interest
ing. but in a way it is a good thing
that diamonds of the first water cam
not be produced at an expense which
makes their manufacture practical.
If this could be done. they would
lose not only their commercial but
their sentimental value, for although
they are one of the most beautiful of
stones and much desired by humanity
for characterization, still they would
quickly lose their charm if they could
be secured cheaply and without effort.
The carbon in the diamond is not dis
tinguishable by any present method
between the carbon in lead pencil or
in a lump of coal, but the difference is
there as the result of some molecular
or atomic arrangement which remains
beyond the finite knowledge of man.
1t is this difference which gives the
diamond it's distinction and makes it
a "gem Of purest ray serene" Like
other things in life which might be
named, it is highlws PRICED because it
is so difficult to obtain. The world

The story Of the capture of pirate
minder of the good old days of Kidd,
and LATTE and Bull. This latest
pirate craft was not playing the game
according to the rules of the old times,
but was simply sncaking out of a har-
Dor with a stolen cargo on Central
American reddling expedition. Along
South Sea islands the old profession
of piracy has survived longer than
elsewhere in the world. but even there
the wireless telegraph and the speedy
topedo boat are giving the business n
black eye.

The test upon the monitor Florida
does not seem to have brought out
anything new regarding the torpedo
and it's work. The torpedo in naval
warfare has been in use nearly half a
century and many vessels have been
sunk and destroyed in that time. Dur
ing our Civil War no fewer than 25
Union vessels, large and small, We're
destroyed by torpedoes and n dozen
others more or less injured. Chinese,
Japanese, Russian, and English war
vessels have been sunk by torpedoes
within that time, some of them with
the loss Of hundreds Of lives. In the

ing worse was done than the smashing

Many foreigners who become natur-

the idea that American citizenship
gives them the right to go back to
their European homes and do any
thing with the assurance that Uncle
Sam will protect them ana save them.
Such people learn their mistake but
they are Il great source of annoyance
to our foreign representatives and to
our government at Washington. OF
course American citizenship conferS
upon a man when he is abroad only
protection while he does right and does
not give him authority to upset king

ties.

ANCHORED GIRLS WITH EGGS.
Filled Their Dresses So They Couldn't
 Follow Him.

TOllON
 New York, Aug 15.-Three young women accompanied by bright look ing college boy came out of Sixth avenue restaurant which makes a speciality of midnight marriages and other forms of lobster entertainment, early yesterday.
 Now, you two girls jump into this hanson and go home," urged the young man, and I'll take Emily home. There's no use in me taking you up town and then hiking over to Brooklyn with her."
 "Oh, you're not going to get rid of us that way protested the two young women. We'll all go over to Emily's. You're not going to run off with her"
 While the argument continued a produce wagon drove up and the driver descended with a basket filled with eggs. The young man had an inspiration.
 How many eggs have you in that basket?'' he asked.
 Seven dozen," replied the driver.
 What do you get for them?"
 "Twenty-two cents a dozen."
 Will you sell them to me for thirty?"
 Sure"
 Well, I'll take 'em," and the youngster, producing the money.
 Here, girls" he said, we'll have some fun. I'll show you. Nettie, you and Bessie hold up your dresses and take the eggs until I borrow a basket inside"
 Why don't Emily help hold the eggs?" asked Netie as she and Bes~ sic formed nests of their dresses for the eggs.
 T want her to help me-" replied the young man, who was industri- ously transferring the hen fruit from the basket to the improvised nests.
 When the transfers had been com pleted the youngster called hanson driver and handed him a bill
 Here" he said, you take these two young ladies home."
 Turning. to Emily, he said: Come on," and they disappeared around the corner in the direction of Broadway. It was ten minutes before the man who had sold the eggs relieved the embarrassed young women by taking their burdens from them. They climbed into the hanson, eloquent in their predictions of what would happen to the young man when next they met him.
