Growing Diamonds to Order.
From Harper's Weekly.


1t has been known for some time that
the vapor of mercury has the power OF
decomposing various compounds OF car
bon in a way that separates the carbon
out in pure state. Amalgams, or mer-
curry alloys, of sodium and other metals
slowly lose the mercury through evapora-
ton. When such amalgams are placed
in contact with hydrocarbons these are
decomposed, nberating the carbon as a
shapeless black mass and also few
crystals. These, however. are so small
and SO few as to be Of no practical value.
chemical engineer of the name of Won
Bolton has undertaken to produce large
crystals OF carbon by making the mercury
decompose carbon compounds under con-
ditions favorable to the growth of crys-
tails.
In a tube about sixteen inches long and
nearly an inch in diameter he placed q
quantity of sodium amalgam containing
about s. per cent mercury. Over the
amalgam he placed a layer of sodium
silicate, or water glass, and over this
ing number of very small crystals.
Into the tube he then passed a current OF
ordinary Illuminating gas, keeping the
whole apparatus on the water bath at
the temperature of boiling water. A
number of crystals were formed. some
of these being large enough to be seen
without the aid of a microscope That
these were diamonds Is indicated by the
fact that they disappeared when heated
in oxygen or fused when heated with
sodium carbonate. IL may. therefore, be
concluded that hydrocarbons are decom-
posed by mercury vapor in a way that
liberates the carbon not merely as a
shameless mass. but also as crystals, IL
there is present a nucleus upon which the
carbon crystal can grow.

rom the Ohio State Journal

From the Ohio State Journal.
At the Minneapolis National Speech
Arts Association President Ellis of the
Ohio University made an address in
which he declared that conversation was
q lost art, made up largely in recent
years of felicitations delivered in the form
of platitudes, interspersed with slang
phrases That is a faithful description.
It may be said to be symptom OF the
lack Of sober thinking. There are SO many
sports. amusements, frolics. novels.
flighty music, these days, that they may
be said to keep the mind from intellectual
work.
There Is such a persistency In frivolity
and fun that the mind is not given to
healthy exercise. and SO 1t takes up
whims and conceits, to which ones Ian
guage easily adjusts itself. When a per-
sons life is earnest and real, that con-
dition finds itself expressed in words. A
shallow and empty mind naturally ex-
presses itself In weak and fifppant talk.
When a person hasn't anything worth
saying, his language shows it.

Miracle PLAY

SAN ANTONIO, Texas, Jan. g.
LOS Pastores," the miracle play that
is produced in San Antonio at the lit
tie chapel of Miracles every year on
Christmas eve, never fails to attract
large audiences, so many Wishing to
witness it, in fact, that it has become
customary to continue 1t each might

quarter of the city, which, in honor of
the event, is gorgeously decorated
with cedar and evergreen. The altar,

the shepards, the three wise men, the
scene in Bethlehem at the manager,

the altar, between rows of old chairs
coupled by the audience, the "Pas-

most instances, of Pastores' players

In The chapel Of miracles hangs a
crucifix presented by the Franciscan
friars in 1888, having been transferred
to this chapel from the old San Fern
ando Cathedral, and before it thous-
alds have prayed. Like as in the
original manuscript, The "Pastores"
is performed in Spanish. Much of
the play is without literary merit,
but in part It is quantity origninal,
it is teemng with interest from be-
ginning to end. and many of the
crude but expressive, give a
flavor Of past ages to the composition.

Charged With
Stealing PURSE

FESSENDEN. Jan. 2.-Earle Nc
Elvain was brought here from Hurds-
field and bound over to the district
court on the charge of grand larceny,
having stolen purse containing $50
belonging to Emma Crandall, a school
teacher. The theft occurred at the
place where the girl was boarding
and McElvain's tracks were followed
in the fresh snow. An interesting
side Of the story of the theft might
have developed had not the purse
and money been found, as the school
teacher had just drawn her salary to
go to South Dakota to arrange for
her marriage. At the hearing Nc

ceedings hurriedly disposed of as he
wanted to get to Hurdsfield the same
night to attend a dance as he had
date with girl. He is still in Jail.

the Mexican factions at Naco, Sonora,
into American territory.
President Wilson, after brief DIS
cussion with his Cabinet, instructed

at Naco, Arizona. for reinforcements
TO handle possible emergency situa-
ton. Three regiments Of infantry and

The generat understanding In Nd
ministration quarters was that as soon
as the additional American forces were
placed In position on the international
line the United States would return
any artillery or infantry fire which
might come from Mexican territory.
As It will require three days for the
troops to reach Naco, the Mexican fac
tions have virtually that period within
which to comply with the American
demands or be shelled out OF their
positions.
Reinforcements ordered will bring
the total force Of the American Army

Rockefeller Foundation. This investi-
cation will open in New York jan

In the investigation OF the various
foundations, according to Chairman
Walsh, the commission will seek to de-
termine "how their policies are shaped
and by whom, their relations to high
finance, the extent to which their char
ters may be stretched under the United
States Constitution, and whether they
constitute a menace or benefit to the
nation"

announcement, are President Arthur
