Idle capital in Madison will have an
opportunity within few days for prof
liable investment. Bob Davis, the jew.
sler, is the promoter Of the proposed
company and his scheme is one COM
pared with which the money making
devices Of the immortal COL Mulberry
Sellers pale into insignihcance. The
idea (which be will have patented in all
countries) has to do with the production
Of diamonds 10 great quantity, and the
preliminary outlay will not be great.
Briefly stated bis scheme is to erect a
great lightning rod extending several
hundred feet and reaching well into the
clouds. The bottom of the rod will not
be buried in the ground as is customa-
ry with lightning rods but will end at
a distance OF several feet ABOVE the
ground. At the base OF the rod there
will be large pan containing a quantl'
ty OF carbon. When the lightning
strikes the tip Of the rod way up 10 the
clouds it is Bobs idea that the electric
fluid will find it's way down the rod IN
til it re4ches the pan Of carbon when,
presto, change, and instead Of pan Of
dull and worthless caroon you have a
pan Of brilliant and immensely valuable
diamonds Of the first water. The books
will be opened in a few days for subscrip
tions to the stock Of the company and
preference will be given to l-cal capital
lists. All that lie necessary to begin
operations is sufficient cash to buy and
erect the rod and lay in ton or two of
carbon, and-"there's millions in itp
Davis wants to engage the services OF
a strong young man-no matter IL he is
poor but be must be honest-to hold the
pan and shake it up when the lightning
hits. A reasonable salary will be paid
to begin on and advancement guaran.
