MAKE DIAMONDS NOW.
Artificial Product Needs Only 'Soften-
ing to Become Success.

New York, April 11.-Maiden Lane,
center of the wholesale jewelry trade
of the United States, is buzzing with
news of recent successful experiments
of chemists who have been trying to
produce an artificial diamond. Within
a few weeks, it is learned, these chem
lists have succeeded in producing large
sized crystals from carborundum
which are very close to the natural
stone
The crystals are as colorless and
transparent as the natural diamond,
and have even greater luster and re-
fractive power But the crystals have
one defect that bars them from use
in ewelry-although the remedying
of it may be near at hand They are
so brittle that they cannot be cut and
polished like natural diamonds. They
fly to pieces when they are put on the
grindstone.
A new field for the jewelers. chemist
has also been found within the past
few months in the manufacture of ar
tificial corals. Genuine coral has be-
come so dear that the chemists began
experimenting early last fall to pro-
duce the product artificially. It is now
announced that their efforts have been
successful and the synthetic product
is guaranteed to be not only of the
identical color of the finest Japanese
pink coral, but also to have the same
weight, "feeP' and temperature.

President Nudge seemed well
pleased with the new operating Or

and the work of the general officials
of the second district in Topeka.

very satisfactory" he said. 1T has

the operation of the lines
And will the Topeka offices be en-

Now railway officials are always
prepared for questions of this kind.
Every city on every railroad in the
country is anxious to see what the
railway has in store for them. Since
the general offices of the second dis
trict have been established in Topeka
the present building is crowded and
offices are conducted in adjacent build
