Real Gems Made by Science.

3 There recently appeared in Paris
some diamonds having all the ear
marks of the genuine article, and they
were offered to number of dealers at
very attractive prices. Certain rigid
tests were applied by experts engaged
In the trade. with the result that they
were proved to be slightly different
from natural stones. The diamonds
were, believed to be manufactured by
a synthetic process, but by the experts
who examined them they were claimed
to be genuine. From this, it seems,
the secret Of making diamonds is rap
idly being solved. and it will not be
long until this new product of the
electric furnace will take it's place
with synthetic rubies, sapphires and
other manufactured gems which are
now sold in the open market.-Leslie's.

MOSQUITO Hunting In Panama.

Looking from the. train on the Pan
anna railroad the visitor occasionally
sees a mosquito hunter. This man is
dressed much as any other hunter is
dressed and proceeds in much the same
manner. He is looking for mosquitoes.
and, judging by his seraphic express
sion. he has already bagged some.
The mosquito hunter is armed in this
manner: There is on his back square
tin tank filed with larvicide. This
larvicide is mixture of carboic acid,
rosin and caustic soda. For a weapon
the hunter carries sprayer. The
sprayer he holds ahead of him in the
manner of sportsman holding a gun.
Water and. moist ground are the
haunts of the game. and splashing
through swamps. along creeks and
through an occasional morass. the hunt
er treats all such ground with the lar
vicide. in which no mosquito can be
born.-St. Louis Post-Dispatch. ~
