Diamonds From Sugar.

1t can be stated with perfect truth
that a lump of sugar may be turned
into diamonds. Not all the substance
Of the sugar, of course, will enter into
the composition of the gem, but only
the carbon that it contains. Sugar
consists of carbon united with oxygen
and hydrogen. The carbon can be
easily separated out, and in certain ex-
periments for the production of dia-
monds this sugar carbon has been en-
ployed. The diamonds SO produced
were, of course, very small and des-
titute of commercial value, but still
they are real diamonds, and the
chemical result achieved would be no
greater intrinsically if they were as
large as the Kohinoor. The hope has
often been held out that an improve
ment in the process of manufacturing
diamonds may be effected whereby
the necessity Of dissolving the carbon
in molten iron may be dispensed with,
and the required combination of great
pressure with great heat may be
brought about by some such opera
ton as squeezing the carbon between
red hot metal plates.

RUSSIA TO RETAL|ATE
Proposal in the Ouma for the
Raising of Duties.

At St Petersburg, Russia, a legisla-
tive proposal to provide for tariff war
schedules applicable to the United
States at the expiration of the Russo
American treaty Of commerce and nav
jgation Of 1892 has been introduced in
the duma by ex-President GuchkOff
and other signers representing the Oc-
toberist and nationalists parties, which
control the majority of the duma.
The bill proposes to raise existing
Russian duties by 100 per cent and
also to impose a duty of 100 per cent
on articles which are admitted free I'M
der the present Russian tariff.
The necessity for the proposed legis-
latiOn is EXPLAINED in an accompany
ing declaration in which it is stated
that the regular American tariff SEIZED
ules which will be applicable to Rus
sian goods at the expiration of the
treaty Of l. Y will be so high as to
have a prohibitive character and that
they greatly exceed the Russian nor
NAL tariff and navigation taxes which
would be naturally applicable to Amer
lean goods in the absence of a treaty.
Double tonnage tax on vessels is also
proposed

TAFT ADVOCATES The
TREATY WITH RUSSIA
Action Is Ratified by the Sem
ate and House.
President Notifies St. Petersburg of
United States Intention to Cancel
Pact, and Then Tells Senate
What He Has Done.

With no offense to the Cars gov
eminent, the treaty of 1882 with Rus.
STA, against which the Jews of this
country have been protesting for many
years, will be terminated.
Formal notice has been served on
the government at st. Petersburg OF
the intention of the United States to
end the treaty Jan. /, 1912. President
Taft took the situation into his own
hands and through the United States
ambassador at ST. Petersburg Oh last
Sunday made the first move toward
the cancelIa lion OF the treaty. The
president notified the u S. senate Of
his action and asked for the approval
and ratification of that body.
President Tafts action was unani
mousIy ratified by the senate after de-
bate, the motion being presented by
Senator Lodge.
The house also passed the Lodge
resolution ratiTying the abrogation OF
the treaty. The joint resolution was
signed by Vice President Sherman.
which action perfected the legislation
President Taft also signed the res
olution
President Taft's procedure in ter
minating the treaty was in marked
contrast to the method proposed by
the house Of representatives in the
SulZer resolution Instead of boldly
accusing Russia of having violated the
terms of the treaty President Taft
served notice of the desire of the Unit
ed States to terminate it on the ground
that it is nO longer responsive to the
political and material relations of the
two countries" and because the treaty
has given rise from time to time to
certain controversies equally regretted
by both governments"
The president not only refrained
from any direct reference to discrim-
inatiOn owing to race or religion, but
accepted the opportunity to emphasize
the long-standing friendship between
the two governments and to express
an earnest hope for its continuance
and final ne citation OF another treaty
of friendship. commerce and naviga
ton"
AS a result of the presidents diplo-
matte handling of the situation any
likelihood of Russia regarding the tie
mination of the treaty as an affrOnt
has disappeared and state department
officials are certain that the relations
of the United States and Russia will
continue on the same cordial basis
that has existed for years There is
good reason to believe that Russia has
already informed this government that
she is willing to enter into discus
sion with a view to negotiating a new
treaty.

In 1906 lightning killed only 1859 peo-

from liver, kidney or stomach trouble

Carlisle ScaIps
 Crack Brown Team
Thorpe Kicks Two Goals From Field and Welch Makes
 Brilliant s Yard Run

Providence, R. l.. Dec. 1-The Carl isle Indians football eleven closed one of the most successful seasons in it's history. and brought to an end the football season in New England by defeating Brown on undiscovered An- drews Field yesterday by the score of 12 to 6. It was the fifth time the two teams have met in fifteen years, and the first time that Carlisle has left the field with victory On her ma- room and red banner. Both teams made touch-downs. Carlisle's coming On 55 yard run by Welch from mid- field on quick shift, while Browns 8 was made by Ashbaugh after block. ed kick on the 30 yard line. Thorpe. the wonderful Indian halfback, whose kicking has been the feature of the football year. added six points to his record by two beautiful goals from the field.
 All the scoring was done in the second period. The Indians showed the same versatile and aggressive at. tack that has marked their play throughout the year. Quick shifts. double passes. criss-cross runs and plunges seldom failed to gain for them. In the first period they made a concentrated attack on the Bruno lldn llHc, WHICH HoCL6Q them 70 ydFOS and landed them within yards of the goal line. There the ball was lost on mistaken signals. Brown did not get within 3S yards of the Indian goal line except on the blocked kick incident. Brown tried numerous for ward passes and onside kicks, but only one was recovered and that for but slight gain.
 The first score came early in the second period when Thorpe, standing on Browns 35 yard line, kicked a beautiful goal from placement Five minutes later after Carlisle had rush. ed the ball twenty yards to midfeld from Browns kickoff, the Indians were lined up from a scrimmage in- side of five seconds The Brown men were unprepared for such quick ac- ton and before they knew 1t the ball was passed and Welch was tearing around Browns right end with no one in front of him. He easily made the distance for a. touchdown and Thorpe kicked the goal, brineing the score up to g to for the Indians
 Carlisle was started on another journey to the goal line from the kick off when penalty sent them back and Thorpe's punt was blocked by Mitchell. Ashbaugh bounced on the ball and ran thirty yards for touch down. Ashbaugh also kicked the goal.
 Shorty before the close of the per- iod when the Brown line stiffened on their 30 yard line. Thorpe dropped back to the 3S yard line and kicked a second goal from placement

Mcfarland Beats
 Tommy Murphy in
 10 Round Battle
Chicago Boxer Outpoints Op. pOnent But Fails to Land
 Knockout Punch

San Francisco. Dec. 1-Packey Me Farland the idol of the Chicago stockyards, won and lost yesterday when he got the decision over Tommy Murphy of New York at the end of twenty rounds of fighting before 5000 tory over the New Yorker, whom 90 per cent of those present expected him to knock out, was clean and left little room for argument. But the rank and file of experts and fight fol- lowers seemed unanimous that as an opponent of Ad Wolgast, the cham pion, the Chicagoan was an impossi- bility.
 Mcfarland and his handlers said he broke his right hand ir the twelfth round. A cursory examination at the end of the fight showed the hand to be much swollen; but of this the public were not aware until after it had left the arena. Mcfarland, if he really broke his hand, fought a wonderful battle. Murphy, on the other hand, gave an exhibition of gameness and ability to come back rarely seen in a prize ring.
 In the early rounds Mcfarland fairly smothered the New York fight CT with a dazzling variety of punches from which there was no escape. Once he sent Murphy flat on his back, but Tommy was up in trice, apparently none the worse for wear. Time and again Murphy was almost fought out of the ring into the laps of the news paper reporters. and appeared to be in great distress, but the well-defined punch was not forthcoming to give him his quietus.
 Mcfarland opened cuts over Mur- phys eyes and damaged his left ear until it looked like an egg. Tn the face of this constant rapid fire the Fastener fought back every minute. and made a better showing in the last two rounds than did Mcfarland.
 For twelve rounds the fight was one-sided. Then Mcfarland began to slow down, and seemingly had tired. In several of the succeeding rounds, he would spurt and pummel his an- tagonist unmercifully, but Murphy fought back with desperation and some of his body punches made deep inroads on McFarland's vitality.
 After the fifteenth round Murphy took on new courage and in the fin al two rounds electrified the specta- tors by carrying the fight to McFar- land, and it seemed as if the bell which ended the contest was as well come to Mcfarland as it was to Mur- phy.
 Both fighters showed the marks of the conflict, but they were of a super ficial nature Mcfarland outpointed his adversary to such an extent that Murphys gameness and ability to ab- sorb punishment did little to make it a two-man affair. But the knockout punch was lacking and the reputed power of the Mcfarland right cross proved to be negligible quantity.
