CHEMISTS HOPE
TO YET MAKE GEMS
Interest in Manufacture of
Diamonds Renewed by
Lemoine Release.

The release of NJ Lemoine has renew
ed the public interest in the manufac-
ture OF diamonds. Sir Isaac Newton
con1eetured, from its wonderful retrac-
tive power. that the diamond was com
Dusuble. and ascribed 10 il a vegeta BILE
origin, though the definition OF its com
position given in a standard work on
physics as late as the middle Of the
eighteenth century was THE purest
and finest earth. the most ethereal fire.
and the most iimpid water" About the
year 1850 Sir Robert Boyle showed that
uncer the influence of great heat the
diamond completely disappeared. and a
little later, in 1904. Cosmos III, grand
duke Of Tuscany. had d diamond sub
jected 10 the Intense heat Of the suns
rays by the aid Of a coneave mirror.
The diamond hrst split. then emitted
sparks, and finally disappeared. Since
that time great number OF diamonds
have been burnt under varying coudi-
tons, and the fact that this stone is
composed wholly and solely Of pure car
bon Is as well authenticated as any fact
IN science.
Composition Known.
The composition Of diamonds being
thus well known, It might al first ap-
pear a comparatively easy matter 10
prepare them artifcially The problem
was 10 convert carbon of the noncrystal-
line form 0ampblack. for instance) in
TO the crystalline form (diamond). But
IN order 10 obtain a crystal OF any sub
stance Il IS first necessary TO get that
substance into solution, and no LIQUID
is known which will dissolve carbon as
such at the ordinary temperatures and
deposit 1t on evaporation. There is. how
ever, q liquid which viii dissolve car
bon at white hez1-namely. molten
iron. The carbon separates out on solidi-
ncation. but, unfortunately. not in the
form OF diamond. Common cast iron
contains carbon, which has separated
out on casting, but IL is carbon in the
form OF graphite or black lead.
Early Experiments
One OF the first of the experimenters
was J. B. Hannay, of Glasgow. who
commenced in his attempts 10 make dia-
monds in 1873. and some years later NJ.
Moisson. a Partisan chemist, attacked
the problem, and by the aid OF an elec-
tric furnace and much simpler method
OF obtaining the requisite pressure, sue
ceeded IN producing carbon crystals that
dlnered In no respect from the diamond.
Into crucible containing molten iron.
NJ. MOtssOn dropped a cylinder of soft
fron containing small quantity OF pure
sugar charcoal. and cTucible W. at once
withdrawn and plunged intl water.
Now iron, Ike water, expands when IT
solidifies, and the solid crust first
formed on the outside of the mass ex-
erts an enormous pressure on the in
terror portion during the crystallization
OF the latter. The mass was then
treated with acids. 10 dissolve out the
iron. and the residue subjected to a
treatment resembling that employed IN
1solating the crystals of carbon from the
blue earth at the Kimberley mines.

SENATOR BAILEY'S REPLY.
Says if Sibley Letter is Genuine it
Clears Him Of Certain Charges
Of His Enemies.

, Gainesville, Tex, Sept. 21.-When
an Associated Press correspondent
asked Senator Bailey today what re-
ply, if any, he desired to make as to
what Mr.. Hearst said regarding him
. in his Memphis speech Saturday
night, Senator Bailey dictated the
following:
Assuming that the Sibley letter
which Mr.. Hearst read is genuine
and that I am the Senator B to
whom it refers, I am very glad that
it has been given to the public for it
completely refutes charge which
my enemies have been making against
me in this State for the last two
years. They have been claiming that
I am an attorney for the Standard
Oil company and insinuating that [
have been friendly to it in matters Of
legislation. This letter distinctly
shows that I am not their attorney
and it also distinctly shows that my
position could not be changed to suit
the interest of the Standard Oil COM
pany. The letter to Mr.. Sibley sug-
gests that he might arrange for Mr..
Archbold to talk to me and Mr..
Archbold reply, as read by Mr..
Hearst, says that he would like to
talk to me. AS matter Of fact,
Mr.. Siblev never made to me the re-
motest suggestion Of conference
with Mr.. Archbold and I never spoke
to Mr.. Archbold in my life about
matters pending in congress or any
other legislative body.''

HEARST ANSWERS HASKELL.
Can Not Afford Slightest Controversy
With a Man of the Governors
'Character.

New York, Sept. 21.-William R.
Hearst. who has been campaigning
for the national ticket Of the In
dependence party in the South and
Middle West, returned to this city
tonight and soon afterwards issued a
statement concerning the challenge
of Gov. G. N. Haskell Of Oklahoma.
In his recent speeches Mr.. Hearst had
charged that Haskell, WHO is now
treasurer Of the Democratic commit
tee, had sought in 1899 to influence
Attorney Frank S. Monnett Of Ohio
to dismiss certain suits then pending
against the Standard Oil &C apany.
In telegram to Mr.. Hearst, which
he made public last night, Gov.
Haskell invited Mr.. Hearst to pub
licly prove his charges to commit
tee Of editors.
Mr.. Hearst refuses to accept the
suggestion Of an editorial board of
arbitration in the following language:
To the Associated Press:
I address this communication to
you, as I can not have the slightest
correspondence or controversy with
a man Of Mr.. Haskell's character.
Mr.. Haskell's proposition reminds
me Of the well known story of the
burglar who was caught in the act
by the police. When the police burst
in upon him they found him in front
Of a safe which had been blown open,
with his tools in his pocket, dark
lantern in one hand and his other
hand on the valuables in the safe.
The police dragged the burglar to
the court room and the judge said to
the culprit:
"Well, what have you to say for
yourself?"
The burglar said: ''Look a-here,
judge, let's arbitrate this case"
The court records, the complaint
Of the ex-attorney general Of Ohio,
MI. Monnett, the present assistant
Of the present attorney general Of
Ohio, Mr.. Burnett, the court records
of the State Of Oklahoma, in the
Prairie Oil and Gas company case,
accuse MIR. Haskell and not I.
Mr.. Haskell has had many years
in which to sue Mr.. Monnett if that
gentleman committed libel in nam
ing C. n. Haskell as one of the men
who attempted to bribe him in the
Standard Oil case.
Mr.. Haskell's proposition TO arbi-
trate the matter now shows that he
has a Sc Ise of humor, even if he has
not sense Of honor.
