GEMS OF LIQUID COAL
German Scientists Discovery May
Lead to Manufacture

German Scientists Discovery May
Lead to Manufacture.
Has Prof Otto hummer, Of Breslau
opened the way for the manufacture
Of genuine diamonds, diamonds made
exactly as they were made by nature,

is yet too early to express an opinion
as to the possibility Of his discovery Of
a process Of rendering coal fluid, but
scientists admit that one of these pos
sibilities is the production Of diamonds.
If coal can be melted, modern science
should be able to make it cool and
crystalline under high pressure, and
that is precisely how diamonds were
formed.
Prof. hummer, who is a director Of
the physical institute Of the Universe
ty of Breslau, is we'll known to the
American scientific world. In 1893 he
German empire to the International
Electrical congress-, and in 1907 deliv-
cred series of lectures before Colum
bia University. His researches have
for years dealt with problems Of light
ing and light rays. He has believed
that carbon could be melted, provided
sufficiently high temperature. which
he estimated at 1000 degrees cent?

Carbon, however, turns directly into
vapor at such high temperatures, pass
ing through the intermediate fluid
stage if air with it's oxygen is present.
Prof. hummer inclosed a large arc
lamp in a glass container and exhaust
ed the air. Then, using a powerful
electric current, he was able to render
the carbon so fluid that drops formed
at the ends of the carbon pencils.
Prof. hummer now plans to conduct
further experiments in which the car
bon shall be subjected to high tension
currents under a pressure Of some 800
atmospheres, but in gaseous medium
which contains no oxygen.

Good Adviee-Andrew Carnegie, who
it is we'll known, attributes a great
deal Of his success to his wife's infiu-

Carnegie. Your wife will help you to
succeed. Consult her in all the impor-
tant details of your business, and be
sure to take her advice as often as pos
sible"

ABOUT BOY SCOUTS
Sermon that Explains the Purpose of
the ORGANIZATION.

The Rev. Kirkman G. Ffnlay preach
ed a special sermon at Trinity church
Sunday morning to the Boy Scouts OF
Columbia, and about Boy Scouts ir
general.
A large number of Boy Scouts Of the
city were present; they came in uni
form and presented an inspiring spec
tacle as they marched in and took
their seats in body near the altar.
Mr.. Finlay took this occasion to ex-
plain just what the Boy Scout move
ment is. He stressed particularly the
branch Of the work which gives to the
city bred boy the opportunities Of cul-
tivating the efficiency Of his hands
which the country boy gets in his
home training. Also thoughtfulness and
spirit of alertness, ever on the look
out for a chance to be useful and kind
not only to people, but to dumb ami
mails as we'll. Then, patriotism-tC
honor the country's flag, and the mem
cries Of those who have worked and
fought for it, and respect for law and
authority.
I'VE older people," said the speaker
ARE greatly interested in you, boys;
and mostly, because you will have to
take our places in the race Of life some
day. 1t is hard race and a long one
and it will take every bit Of the
strength, courage and efficiency which
you can cultivate. There are many
things which you must not do, and a
great many which you must do, if you
expect to win.
After commenting upon the fact that
the Boy Scouts Of Columbia are part
of a mighty body of 10000 men and
boys in America with a corresponding
organization across the water" Mr.
Finlay read, from an article by Jacob
A. Riis, scouts report Of his work, in
his own words. 1t is as follows:
"A man had horse and it was
young and it would not stand for him.
so he asked me if would please get
him his mail, so did.
"A man was on his motor cicle and
he lost his glove and picked it up and
gave it to him.
There were two men and they want
ed to know where lady lived, and
told him.
There was boy and he had to get
out Of a team to take the bars down, 1t
in;1 hor I'D
for him.
There were some men in an auto
mobil and they wanted to know the
way to Groton school and told them
Il get mans paper for him every
morning.
There was a man and his tire on
his bicycle was fiat and l asked him If
he wanted to take my pump, so let
him take it.
Il gave an axe to neighbor who's
was broke.
Il filled my mothers wood box for
it was baking day.
Il buttoned Mary's dress because
mamma was busy.
Il shut up the hens, so my father
would not have to.
Il gave a man his crutches.
II done up finger for a friend.
Il wiped the dishes for my mother.
My grandmother lost her glasses
and found them.
Il separated some roosters from the
pullets.
Il fed the calf at night.
Il led a blind man to his house.
II Strengthened screw driver fol
Mrs. Boynton.
There was a cat in steel trap and

Il picked up little bird under g
tree and climbed up and put 1t in Its
nest.
Il done an errand for an old lady.
