FalI-Fo1lovvs Natures Methods.

Paris, April &.-M. Lemoine, the dia-
mond maker, has been granting inter
views since his release from prison: but
the most extraordinary one has just APP
peared in lie Journal. When he Is In a
humor to give out his mind he can be
come tremendously eloquent. and once
fairly started on the subject Of diamonds,
he develops into a poet as well as an
orator. In three months the diamond
trade will receive a shock from which il
Will never recover. Now, diamonds have
fixed value, like bank notes. There viii
be q sudden drop when his next demon
strations have been made
The men who are in the secrets Of the
trade are well aware Of it. They, he al
leges, brought about his arrest because
they feared the consequences of his dis
covery. He fought them inch by inch in
prison and before the magistrate. and
brought one Of the experts to his knees
with the confession that he had given his
evidence only in the interests OF the trade.
Can one make diamonds? Why not?
asks LemOine. No philosophers stone,
no charm is needed. If, he says, his op-
ponents knew his secret they would be
astonished at its simplicity.
How did he find it out? BY long study
in South Africa. where nature had pro-
duced diamonds in her own laboratory.
He Is accused of not being a chemist, nor
even an engineer. This is all false. His
diplomas are from the Technical Institute
Of Milan,
Observing Natures Methods.
NJ. Lemoine speaks with supreme con-
tempt Of the greater part of laboratory
scientists. What most Of these savants
want is experience and observation in
natures school. By observing her he
discovered the process by which dia-
monds had been formed. and all he had
10 do was to initiate IT, His method is
entirely different from that of Moissan
the only point OF comparison being that
In his process. as well as that Of NJ
Moissan. great heat is required.
The main thing was TO discover an ex-
peditious way Of dissOlving carbon. This
was all the secret. He has found the dis
solvent, and it is not such a terribly diff
cult thing. LemOine astonished his inter
viewer by stating that for two years he
had been making diamonds without no.
ticing it. No lapidary took the trouble
Of examining them. and II was not till he
had experimental himself with the pow
der by polishing other stones that he be-
came convinced.
Ten years ago he first showed them 10
Sir julius Wernher who told him that he
ought 10 produce large crystals. He did
so, and eleven different persons saw him
make shem and were convinced. But
why, it was asked, did he not make them
on large scale, so as to have the means
to establish factory? His answer was
that in the beginning the expense Of max
ing diamonds exceeded their commercial
value
The process was still IN its experimental
stage, and frequently failed. This was
the case when one day an expert whom

SOME provision for industrial training
in our public schools. This does not
mean that we are to throw aside the
old Three-R education, but it does
mean that much of the obsolete non
essentials must go, and industrial ed
ucation given regular place ia the
courses of study for all of our public
schools We shall lose nothing of
value from the old, and gain much of
great value from the new. There is
as much mental training derived from
the study of the chemistry of the soil,
as there is from the study of cube
root and subjunctve mode, and vast
~ more real value to the child. In
dustrial education is not fad or a
theory of some school man, but it is
the demand OF this great industrial
age. The school men have attempted
to ignore the demands by hiding be-
hind their pedagogical creed and
the traditions of their forefathers, but
the demand is upon us, and 1t is here
to stay. Our schools must be re-
adjusted to meet this urgent demand

On the far edge of the crowd was q

arm was pushing his way forward. He
was still quite a distance from the
window where showed the '49 sign but
he stopped and looked up. "Hellor he
called. oh, hello Wait a minute.

there? Who is hep"
Billings leaned far out the window.
but Burton answered for him. Yes;
we have one" he called proudly Yes,
we have a man of 40 up here. It's Bill
hngs-Billings of '49. Are you of his
class?"
They stared down at the man i'm the
yard, but he seemed paralyzed and I'M
able TO move. Finally, however, with
an effort he raised his voice. and his
tone. though hoarse and indistinct. yet
came full of happiness and joy.
My God! Billings?" he cried. Bill
lings, you say? No, no! I'm not of
his class. I'm not '49. But tell him I'm
WillOughby," he called. I'm Willough-
by of '63r'
He hastened then as fast as he could
across the yard, but the old alumnus
in the window leaned so far out that
the two young men beside him took
hold and pulled him back; but those in
the crowd even those who were stand
ing upon the white steps of University
hall on the other side. could hear the
voice distinctly-yet it was not loud,
but deep and penetrating and full Of
feeling.
Come up! Come up here. Oh. come

let him through? Oh, send him up to
me. He's WillOughby, don't you IN

But the great crowd did not under
stand at all. they could not know why
Billings Of '49 should be interested in
Willoughby of '63. They knew only
that he was a Harvard graduate and a
very Old one. But, as that was enough
for them, they sang louder and louder
till the thousands of voices within the
