How are ARTIFICIAL diamonds
mad?"
The method employed in making ar
tificiaI diamonds is heating pure pre-
pared carbon in an electric furnace.
BY sudden cooling of the molten iron
the surface contracts and exerts a
powerful pressure upon the interior.
When cold, the iron is dissolved, and
small black particles remain, which
exhibit the properties Of diamonds.

The British draft reply to Germany
was not mentioned In the communion
tons from Paris and Brussels. Lord
Curzon added
The foreign secretary asserted the
British government could not too often
repeat hat while regarding the inter

own. It holds firmly to the view that
the problem before It ann be

While the allies may be occupied in

Great Britain. Lord Curzon said. is
inviting the other governments to

for these papers may assist in deter

themselves as In general agreement

maJesty's government. (Cheers greet

1.-THE French and Belgium govern
ments returned Independent replies.
"His Majesty's government have de-
voted the most careful and anxious
confederation to those replies. While
we are fully conscious of the friendly
language in which they were couched
n tho cordial spirit by which they
were animated we regretted not to find
in them the material for sending an
allied answer to the German note, to
the dispatch of which we attached so
much Importance.
Indeed. tho draft reply submitted
to his Majesty's government was not
mentioned in the French and Belgium
replies nor did these notes appear to
hold u any prospect either OF an
early alienation Of the situation in
the Ruhr or OF tho commencement OF
discussions about r~eparations, to

Ice Cream Early
OUTLAW In Britain

LONDON. Aug. 2.-Ensland does
not have to contend with prohibition
but. according to the ideas of tho
Ice Cream and Temperance Refresh
ment Trades Federation. the regula-
tons against the sale of ice cream
and soft drinks would make Mr.. Vol.
stead envious.
Under tho present law tho sale of
this class Of refreshment Is prohibit
ed after nine thirty in the evening.
The bone of contention is that the
West End clubs and hotels are al
lowed to sell ice cream until mid
night. while the working classes can
not buy It after half past nine. The
regulation was enacted as a wartime
measure.
The Federation will urge the Labor
