De BOISVENU'S CLAIMS.
French Scientist Declares He Has
Found a Way to Make Diamonds.

The Count Of Boisvenu has just in
formed the Academy of Sciences that
he has discovered a proceeding ac-
cording to which diamonds Il be
made. He manufactured for a long
time acetylene and calcium carbide,
with which the acetylene is made.
In the course of the manufacture of
the carbide he found in the electric
oven diamond dust, and he concluded
that it might be possible to obtain
diamonds by splitting a bath of cal
cium carbide by electrolysis-tllat is to
say, by passing an electric current
through it.
After some experiments the count
succeeded, he says, in realizing within
nine, ten and twelve hours diamonds

YOUNG GIRL RUNS A FARM.
Unique Experience Of Sixteen year.
old Lass of New Jersey.

| Nla lass OF NEW Jersey.
Sixteen-year-old Edna l.. Biting is
the youngest farmer in the United
States and IS considered one of the
most expert students of agriculture
In New Jersey She has taken COM
plete charge Of Hillside farm. at Har-
bourton, N j.. property owned by
her uncle. The farmers Of the state
call her the girl wonder and admit
that Hillside Is one of the most pros
porous farms In New Jersey.
Although Miss Biting has only re-
Gently taken complete control, she has
assisted her uncle for several years.
Her father offered to pay the expenses
of college course, but the girl pre-
ferred farming to college life and In
sisted on helping her uncle.
While at school she passed her va
cations with her uncle and soon was
able to do the work of a man. She
was not satisfied with the knowledge
of the laborious part of the work, but
took a deeper interest in agriculture
and is now considered such an expert
that farmers in the vicinity seek her
advice.
1t is an interesting sight to watch a
pretty girl. neatly dressed. giving
orders to and overseeing the work of
corps of farm hands, some Of whom
have been engaged on farms for more
than a quarter Of a century

Agriculture is dry to read about, but

to become a farmer but / prefer Il to
anything else and will visit a city only
when absolutely necessary"
Miss Biting has always been con
sidered an unusually bright girl. and
she maintained high standard while
attending school. When she declined
to enter an agricultural college she
said she could master farming from
books without further instruction
That she has succeeded even beyond
her own expectations she admits and

to say something. She looked at me

woman, together; our world for the
hour was the deserted farmhouse, the
slope of wheatfield that led to the
road, the woodland lot. the pasture.
We breakfasted together across the
homely table. Our cheerfulness, at
first sheer reaction, became less forced
as we ate great slices of bread from
the granny oven back of the house.
and drank hot fluid that smelled like
coffee and tasted like nothing that
have ever swallowed. We found cream
in stone jars, sunk deep in the chill
water OF the springhouse. And there
were eggs, great yellow-brown ones
basket of them.
So, like two children awakened from
nightmare, we chatted over our food;
we hunted mutual friends, we laughed
together at my feeble witticisms, but
we put the horror behind us resolute-
ly. After all, it was the hat with
the green ribbons that brought back
the strangeness of the situation.

Heaven knows / did not want her to

lane we came across the tall dark
woman who had occupied lower IL
She was half crouching beside the
road. her black hair about her shout

She did not seem to know us, and re-
fused to accompany us. We left her
there at last, babbling incoherently
and rolling in her hands q dozen peb
bles she had gathered in the road.
The girl shuddered as we went on
Once she turned and glanced at my
bandage. Does it hurt very much?'
she asked.

ciously. If anything in this WORLD

parched and dusty and weary, logged

When we reached the main road we
sat down for a moment, and her hair,
which had been coming loose for some
time, fell over her shoulders in little
waves that were most alluring. 1t
seemed a pity to twist 1t up again,
but when l suggested this, cautiously,
she said it was troublesome and got
in her eyes when 1t was loose. So she
gathered it up, while / held a row of

too. Funny about hair: A man never
knows he has 1t until he begins to

Something of the unconventional stu
alton began to dawn on her as she put
in the last hair pin and patted some
stray locks TO place.
