"Moisson made his tiny diamonds
from the same stuff-pure carbon and
iron. Into his electric furnace he put
iron, containing. naturally, a little
pure carbon. and by the aid of a sud
den cooling of the outside of the mass
he imprisoned the carbon. Under the
influence of terrific pressure at the
center of the little sphere (cold out
side, but still whfte-hot inside) the
pure carbon crystallized into tiny
diamonds
"Now. who knows but what Le-
moine. employing diamond dust in
quantity-much carbon with little
iron-may not have obtained far big

used very little carbon with much
iron?"

outgrew it's quarters and there were
other demands for Increased space.
The matter of taking larger quarters
was considered by the board of gov

seek the building of structure to
cost $125, 1000, together with the site,
and that all the American republics
would be asked to contribute on a per

American countries promptly made
appropriations aggregating $4,000,
the understanding being that the
United States would contribute $4,000.
Congress was tardy in acting and did
not make an appropriation until 1907.

no explanation to any of the rest Of US

closed the door. There was no doubt
that he knew the woman and for some

in closing their convention at the Hotel
Astor yesterday, that they have signed
no peace with England. They adopted
resolutions and pledged more than

for Ifish independence.
They denounced the Pacific four
Power treaty. the 5-5-3 naval agree
ment, funding or cancellation of for

ment, and demanded that the British
West Indies and Bermuda be set free or
ccded to the United States. They de-
clared their faith in the republican form
of Government.

There were theories in plenty to ac-

Glickstein was happily married and the
father Of three girls. tho police con-
sidered the possibility that the crime
might have been the result OF an old
love affair. In 1913 he was arrested on

To my mind the distinction is perfectly
