Why a Diamond Can be Smashed
But Not Scratched
BY GARRETT p. SERVISs.

can now distort it with comparative
ease, but if you strike it the same
blow that demolished the first struc-
ture the effect will only be to alter
its shape without knocking it to
pieces. 1t has then lost in hard
ness" but gained in "tenacity."
Notwithstanding their great hard
ness, diamonds can be cleaved with
comparative ease along planes par
allel 10 the faces of the octRhedron
which forms their crystalline frame
work. 1t is said that diamonds diff
fer in hardness, not only on differ
ent faces, but also according to
their place of origin. Thus it is
claimed that the Borneo stones are
the hardest, the Australian the next
in hardness, and the African the
least hard But II is doubtful if a
general distinction Of that kind
exists. If il does, the Brazilian
stones ought 10 rank among the
hardest. assuming that that prop
erty varies directly with the bril-
liancy.
All the forces that hold the par
ticles. or molecules, of substances
together may be grouped under the
head of cohesion, an attractive force
no less mysterious in its ultimate
nature than gravitation itself, for
cohesion exists without actual con-
tact between the molecules that it
binds together. Modern experiments
with extreme low temperature have
I
lations between temperature and CO.
hesive attraction.
Thus. a spiral in the form of a
helix, made of a soft metal and I'M
able at ordinary temperatures to sus-
tain the least weight, will. IL cooled
to about 800 degrees below zero. act
like a steel spring and sustain
weight OF several pounds.
Mercury at such temperatures be-
comes as hard as steel, and may be
shaped into and used as a hammer
head. A lead ball becomes elastic
and bounces when dropped. but a
ball of indi-rubber loses its resiliency
and becomes very brittle.
Metals gain immensely in tensile
strength when cooled to the temper
ature of liquid oxygen, a gold wire,
/ for instance, becoming stronger than
iron wire Of equal size is at ordinary
temperature. Even the fall of tenn
perature characteristic OF winter
sometimes has disastrous effects up
on the properties OF metals by in
creasing their brittleness.

Navy Enforces Direct Purchase
Policy.
Manufacturers and dealers are en-
couraged under the policy Of the
Navy Department to deal direct with
the department. The purpose is to
eliminate the middleman in purchas-
es of supplies and materials.
sin my annual report, says Rear
Admiral Samuel MCGOWAN, "manu-
facturers were warned against pro-
fiteering agents, professional con-
tractors, and naval brokers. In our
regular mailing circular OF January
5, 1918, we expressed the hope that
manufacturers who have not availed
themselves Of the opportunity to bid
direct win do so, as it will prove of
advantage to them in bringing them
in more intimate touch with the
Navy and thereby make reputation
for the materials which they manu-
facture.'
"The fact is the responsibility Of
contractors was never so thoroughly
Investigated and they were never
held to a stricter accountability than
they have been since this country
entered the war The number of
responsible direct bidders has in
creased greatly and the number of
agents and Intermediates has been
reduced to minimum. The safe
guards against profteering have
been strengthened, not relaxed"
There are over $4,000 names on
the bidders list of the Navy Bureau
Of Supplies and Accounts, represent
ing every section of the country.
These manufacturers and dealers
furnish over 10000 classes of artic-
les used by the Navy.

800 WOMEN NEEDED
BY SALVATION ARMY
Commander EyangeIine Booth
Says War Relief Work
Must Be Extended.

Commander Evangeline Booth, lead
err Of the Salvation Army in the Unit
ed States, has been suddenly called
upon to furnish 800 additional war
work women for France. The request
is contained in report just received
by her from Col. william A. Barker

sent to France over year ago to es-
tablish hutment and general war relief
work with the American troops. ''.v
. Eve will do all we can to fill this
demand" said Commander Booth when
discussing the approaching United
War Work Campaign, "and the need
itself should impress the American
public all the more with the absolute
necessity for sustaining and enlarging
the war relief work Of the seven Or
CARNATIONS, besides the noble Red
Cross, now merged for drive for
funds. Each is a vital cog in a vast
machine for human relief, and each is
indispensable, serving it's particular
elements in its own way.
1.-THE Salvation Army was born in
hardship, reared in privation and
trained to every phase Of human mis-
cry and how to cope with 1t. Perhaps
that accounts in some degree for the
success our work has attained and for
which we are thankful.

we toll on a practical basis. We learn

Boer war; when we stood at the side
