ARTIFICIAL DIAMONDS

BERLIN. Nov 21.--9 new method OF
making diamonds. it is said. has been
discovered by DR.. Wiener Won Bolten. a
chemical expert connected with the Sic
mems Halske laboratory here.
The process isbased on decomposition Of
lighting gas by a mercury amalgam,
whereby the carbon contained in the gas
is. crystalized into diamonds. AS these
diamonds are extremely minute. small
bits of diamond dus tare introduced in
to the apparatus where they serve as
mother crystals upon which larger dia-
monds are gradually built up.
The process is still In the experimental
stage, and the diamonds are small, but
1t is believed possible Or. Won Boltens
discovery may result in the solution of
the problem of manufacturing diamonds

Currency Reform Needed.
Fourth, and finally, we have a very
lame banking and currency system.
The theory of the issue of bank notes.
based on the deposit of government
bonds by each nationaiI bank. is that
this Will increase and decrease ac-
cording to the needs of the money
market: that these national banks will
deposit bonds and float their notes
when money is needed, and will with
draw the bonds and reduce the cir
culetion when the demand for money
IS light. Such has not been the
result. and 1T is due to the fact that
the bonds which We're issued for the
purpose OF enabling them to be used
as deposits paid only per cent. a
rate which is about l per cent below
the regular market rate for govern
ment bonds in this country. and.
therefore prevents the disposition and
use of the bonds for any other pur-
pose than the securing of bank notes
This gives stiffness to the deposit
and withdrawal of such bonds and a
rightly to the amount of currency
dependent on them that deprives the
system OF the elasticity which is de-
sired.
More than that. the independent
action of each bank when money
grows tight. in reaching out for cash
and increasing its reserve accentuatcI
