Madeline looked at MIN with an un-

talking at her and not to her. Her
expression did not change and to

reply. This infuriated WI Tsang.
He elspped his hands and from sp-
parentIy nowhere two silent figures
sppeared and at his bidding they
seized her and dragged her into an
other room which was nothing less
than a dungeon and located three
floors underground.
This room was entered only after
gong through a series of circuitous
passages, the entrance to each of
which was guarded by heavy door
deubly. locked and which could only
Be opened after a secret electrical
circuit had been completed.
The dungeon into which Madeline
was. cast was in total darkness, the
final entrance to the same being
through a very narrow door in the
extreme right corner. The two

locked the door securely and Made

CALLS ON FARMERS
TO BUY, NOT PLANT

Commissioners Harris fails to be con-
sYinccd that the government estimate
|S the cotton crop is right, or that the
imp in prices due to the publication

PIC sticks to his slogan, "Sit steady in
the boa.," and urges the farmers not
to SELL

told us the crop would be II 100000
bales," says Commissioner Harris, and
know and everybody else knows that
cotton has deteriorated since that time
Of course it has. The government was
wrong once. When? I believe it is
wrong now. Now, marks my words,
the farmer who holds his cotton until
next June will get nearer to GO cents
than he will to the price offered today.
"The position of cotton is stronger
than it has ever been. In all statis-
tics in regard to cotton, the demand
is obviously bullish, and the demand
is growing every day. You will find
that there will be an upward turn in
spots markets by January. Those who
have sold short have got to hustle for
spots to cover early in the season OF
1920, an dthe man found short is going
to have hard time filling his con,
tracts. The difference today between
spots cotton and futures is too great
and will not last very long.
"My advice to cotton farmers, ant
especially those in the boil weevil sec
tion, is to buy May and July con
tracts at present levels and don't plan
any cotton in 1920. Instead Of bein1
bothered by Dol weevi and weathe
conditions, you can then go fishn,
and have a good time. Sow your Ian
and rest it and you will be in bette
condition than you will be selling cot
ton at present prices.

make him deliver.
'"That's the idea. There's no need
to sell your present crop at or below
cost of production just to have the
miserable pleasure of growing an
other crop next year. Under boil
weevil conditions the next crop will
cost you more than any other that
you have ever grown. Hold to what
you've got. Plant no more-and &c

eat this time last year middling cot
ton was bringing only % cents per
pound. We advocated to the people
that, according to the law of supply

A great many people didn't think it
would ever reach 35 cents, and so
stated. But those who had the back
bone and the nerve to hold had the
pleasure of selling their cotton for 35
cents a pound, Now, what made them
pay you 35 cents pound for this
cotton? Because the law of supply

couldn't buy it for less than they gave

CAN DIAMONDS
BE MANUFACTURED? +?
BY GARRETT p. sERvIsS

by GARREII L. SEhtlSS
Can diamonds be manufactured
If so, what is the process. and can
such diamonds be detected by an
| eXpert?-E. c.
Yes diamonds can be and have
been manufactured, i. e., made
| through the intervention of the hu-
man hand. There is no occasion 10
detect" them, since they are gen.
uine in substance and structure, as
much so as chickens hatched by in
cubator ar real chickens. But they
are of only microscopic size as yet,
and it is to be hoped that large ones.
suitable to be used in jewelry, will
never be made, for that would be
the end of the reign of the most
beautiful of gems. AS soon as a
thing becomes common and cheap it
must be content with a utilitarian
value, like glass. for instance.
From the point of view of science.
however, the artificial production of
diamonds possesses very great in
terest. 1t was not an eagerness 20
make millions but desire to under
stand natures ways chat led to the
discovery of a methoS of turning
amorphous carbon into the crystal
lized form of carbon called diamond.
SO low that they would pursue such
research for the sake of fooling the
public and taking it's money, there
could be no true science.
One of the first straight hints CIV
en- to the searchers after the birth
secret of the matchless carbon gem
was furnished by a diamond-stuffed
meteorite that shot out of the sky.
1t was an iron meteorite and it con-
tanned diamonds, very minute, like
all that have been produced in the
laboratory. How had nature made
these carbon crystals in the heart of
a mass of iron, whose only history,
as far as known, was comprised in
an indefinite flight through open
space, ended by an encounter with
the earth? In the search for an an
swer to that question two facts stood
out: % The substance of the
meteoric had once been melted by
intense heSt CD 1t had. been quickly
cooled from without. 1t was also
clear that carbon must have been
included in the iron at the start.
From these facts it was concluded
that when the mass rapidly cooled on
being projected from some unknown
place of origin, where it had been
intensely heated, into the extreme
cold of space its surface had quickly
hardened, forming a rigid shell
which confined the interior mass. and
as this in turn solidified and thereby
expanded slightly great internal
pressure was produced, the result of
which was to cause the included car
bon to crystalline into minute dia-'
monds distributed through the in
terror mass.
Exactly why the pressure should
act in that way is perhaps not very
clear, but anyhow, when the con-
ditions above described were artifici-
ally produced by Henri Moissan in
his electric furnace the result was
the formation OF minute diamonds
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1919-01-02

like those of the meteorite. Moissan
may be said to have turned sugar
into diamonds. for the material that
he used to satu!slte his mass of mol
ten iron with carbon was calcined SUI
gar. He found that while carbon
. dissolved in molten iron or other
metal separtes out in the amorphous
form of graphite, or blacklead, If
the cooling takes place at ordinary
pressures, yet when the pressure Is
extremely high, many tons TO the
square inch, the carbon separates in
the form of diamonds, which PROB
ably at first are liquid carbon drops.
To get the necessary pressure
Moissan initiated the conditions of
the meteoric. He heated the iron
mass in his furnace to a tempera-
ture of more than 1000 degrees, at
which the iron began to volatilize
and then he dropped 1t into cold
water, somewhat as the meteorite.
shooting from its parent sun, plunged
its blazing surface into the zero
bath of heatless space. The man.
ner in which the pressure was pro-
duced has been described above.
1nasmuch as carbon is introduced
into molten iron in order to harden il
into steel, it was naturally asked,
after Moissan's experiments, whether
minute diamonds might not already
have been produced, unknowingly,
in metallurgical operations, and it
has been found that such was indeed
the case, though only in certain
cases have the crystals been found
laSSe enough to be recognized. When
steel is made for special purposes ty
cooling under great pressure pro-
duced by hydraulic apparatus mis-
croscip diamonds are sometimes
found imbedded in the mass. 1t has
even been suggested that the prop
erty of carbon il. hardening steel
may arise from IT'S taking the quail
lily of diamond, although not assum-
ing visible crysta line form.
The great diamond mines of South
Africa lie in tho choked throats of
ancient, extinct volcanoes, whieh evI-
IDENTIFY served as giant laboratories,
where Nature had at her elbow the
forces and the substances needed to
make diamonds on a large scale.
Fortunately she knew when she had
made enough--which man seldom
does. ...r '-...
