Vigorous Action.
President Taft's method OF doing his

a general increase I'm railroad rates tust
prior to the adoption OF amendments
TO the railroad rate law two years ago.
The president served notice upon the
railroads that II they anticipated the
new law they would be hailed into
court, and az a result OF subsequent
conferences the railroads agreed 10
postpone their action until the new law
was passed.
In the new law OF congress President
TAFT assisted In inserting provision
which transferred from the shoulders
OF the shipper TO that OF the railroads
the burden OF proof In establishing the
reasonableness OF railroad rate. +,
Prior 10 that time the practice had
been Just the opposite. with the result |
that many shippers who were or had I
been suffering from discriminatory I
rates or practices. were unable 10 prove
their cases without great expense or

GROWING DIAMONDS

It has been known for some time
that the vapor of mercury has the
power of decomposing various COM
pounds OF carbon in a way that sepa-
rates the carbon out in a pure state.
Amalgams, or mercury alloys of sodi.
.um and other metals slowly lose the
mercury through evaporation. When
such amalgams are placed in contact
with hydrocarbons, these are decom-
posed, liberating the carbon as a
shapeleSs mass and also a few crys-
tails. These, however, are so small
and so few as to be of no practical
value. A chemical engineer by the
name of Won Bolton has undertaken
to produce large crystals of carbon by
making the mercury decompose car
bon compounds under conditions IA
vorable to the growth of crystals.
In a tube about 16 inches long and
nearly an inch in diameter he placed
q quantity of sodium amalgam con-
tanning about IS per cent mercury.
Over the amalgam he placed a layer
of sodium silicate, or water glass"
and over this he sprinkled some dia-
duoI a uuIHDSI vi
very small crystals. Into the tube he
then passed a current of ordinary H.
Eliminating gas, keeping the whole ap-
paratus on the water bath at the tenn
perature of boiling water. A number
of crystals were formed. some of these
being large enough to be seen with
cut the aid of a microscope. That
these were diamonds is indicated by
the fact that they disappeared when
heated in oxygen, or fused when heat
ed with sodium carbonate 1t may,
therefore, be concluded that hydro
carbons are decomposed by mercury
vapor in a day that liberates the cafs
bon not merely as a shapeless mass,
but also as crystals, if there is pres
ent a nucleus upon which the carbon
crystal can grow.-Harper's Weekly.

may not have any effect, but a con-
tiruous application to field year
after year may eventually impair its
pToductiveness, unless through drain
age or other natural agencies the oily
material is drained off or changed. In
some localities this is probably the
case, as the use of such material is
still said to be effective, although it
has been applied for a number Of
years. No very definite field informa-
ton on this point is, however, at hand.
III this connection attention must be
called to the fact that the presence OF
ali unusual amount of oil in such
street sweepings has been the result
o. automobile traffic, and hence ap-
pears only in recent years as an ap-
<preciable factor in the use of street
sweepings as fertilizer, and it is not
improbable that the amount of oil will
even further increase in the next few
years. .1a4RM
Aside from the physiological ACTON
OF the oily material here mentioned,
there are probably other more strictly
physical effects, due to the coating of
soil particles and consequent inter-
ference with normal moisture move
ment and soluiblity of the mineral soil
constituents.
vegetable or animal oils undergo
changes in soils under the influence OF
soil organisms, but so little is known
concerning the action of organisms on
the strictly hydrocarbon oils that no
statement concerning he possible dis
appearance or change of this oil in
street sweepings can be made"
