It is quite possible to manufacture
diamonds. Indeed a famous French.
man of science, Moissan, made very
large numbers by means Of his cleo

subjecting the solution to enormous
pressure. Lump sugar may be said to

1t is the case that the diamond il mere

kinds of carbon-plumbago graphite

Hezekiah, king of Judah, who reigned
In the years TT to 6SS B. c., was
pioneer In constructing a system or
waterworks. bringing water into the
city of Jerusalem. In the holy book
we read: HE made the pool and con-
duit and brought the water into the
city, stopping the upper part OF Gihon'
and brought 1t straight down to the
west side of the city of David. And
Hezekiah prospered In all his works"
From the pools of Solomon" near
Bethlehem. water WAS conveyed to
Jerusalem, a distance of six or seven
miles. through conduit of earthen

Spring Trade In Farm chunks-Feed

Horses of the farm chunk type may
be found on the market at all seasons
of the year. but during the spring
months they form an important fea-

crops are being planted They are
usually of mixed breeding. draft blood
predominating, and commonly known
among farmers as "all purpose horses.
Mares are more generally taken than
gedings
For this class low down blocky
horses are wanted, not so heavy as the
eastern chunks. Farm chunks are usu.
ally lighter In bone and often slightly
bemished or unsound. Since farmers
do not usually care to pay for high
priced horses they are often compelled
to accept those with slight injuries.
