TURNING BONES
INTO BRONZE

Living men with bones of bronze
may soon be a common sight, ac-
cording to an important announce
ment to the Academy of Science at
Paris by Professor Doumer, disclos-
ing method by which large quanti-
ties of cooper may be introduced into
the human organism by means of
electricity.
The process consists Of passing a
weak current through two electrodes
soaked with solution of sulphate OF
copper, the electrodes being placed
on the skin of the patient
1t is thus possible to introduce i've
to ten centigrammes Of metallic cop
per daily, eventually saturating the
organism to such degree that the
bones become metallic and the skin
takes on a bronze hue.

1t was Marsden who made the
first artificial DIAMONDS, but they
were microscopic in size. In 1893
Moissan made larger ones by the
use of the electric furnace, but they
were still very small.
The greatest increase. in size has
been accomplished by de Boismenu.
who by using a specially devised
electric furnace, made still larger
diamonds. The longer the current
was kept on, the larger the diamond.
The efforts of the earlier expert
mentors were rewarded only with
very small crystals. revealed only by
the microscope.
Those produced by de Boismenu,
however. are real cleavable dia-
monds. 400 or 500 times as large as
those produced by Moissan.

covering the Waterman with their
great mass. We thought that his
body had been literally buried in the
earth. But no; he came crawling
cut, bit dirty, perhaps, but without
a scratch. The iron had piled up
about him. leaving a spot only large
enough for his body.
An Unusual Case.
Another time 1 saw a man fall
four stories and go back to work Is
minutes later. He came down
through a hole scarcely larger than
his body, his cap falling slowly after
him. There happened to be a lot of
refuse at the bottom and the fellow
escaped unhurt. The boss wanted
him to so home, saying that, even if
he were unhurt, he would be too
nervous to work. The fellow refused
and insisted on returning to his job.
Well, you may believe me or not, but
half an hour later the fellow fell to
the ground a second time, killing
himself"
For insurance purposes it is pos
sible to estimate the percentage of
mortality in any given operations
with the greatest accuracy. An Off
Ger of a large contracting firm en-
gagged in erecting buildings in
dozen cities declared that records
kept over long period of years en-
ables them to forecast about how
many men would be killed or injured
during an operation lasting so long
and costing a certain amount of
money. When asked whether, on an
average, each large building cost the
life Of man. he replied: Eyes, and
better than one man for each great
office building"
The Telegraph-courier. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1888-1946, 1923-04-26

"But I'd think that a man wouldn't
work at this kind of a job very long, y
] remarked. IF he didn't get killed,
he'd get so nervous from seeing
what happens that he'd stop and do
something else"
Nonsense. Lots of these fellows
here have been structural steel
workers since they were boys, and
some of 'em, as you can see, are not
so young, either I tell you how 1
look at the thing and I have good
reasons for saying it, too. A fellow
won't go West before his time
comes, and up to that point he can
go and do most what he pleases. So,
what's the use of changing on to
some other job where there's less
money? No, stree, from what I've
seen in the 20 years I've been in the
business I'll say every time that a
man doesn't die before his time
comes.
About two years ago We were
erecting a building much like this
one We had got up as far as the
fifth floor and were engaged in hoists
ing number of thin steel plates to
be used in some kind of a special
construction there. I had a general
structural steel workers job then,

graphite, both found in nature. But
aside from the absence or impurities
the carbon in the diamond is in a
crystallized state.
Melted iron, brought to tempera-
ture Of 2912 degrees Fahrenheit, can
dissolve about 3 per cent of carbon,
becoming cast iron. If the tempera-
ture is brought up to 1892 degrees
Fahrenheit the limit or saturation
increases so that this bath can dis
solve 4 per cent Of carbon. If now
we reduce the temperature TO 1912

will be manufactured, not

ton of the genuine diamond was
accomplished long ago, the diamonds
thus made have been too small to
be of great value. Great strides have
been made in the last few years,
however, and some have been made
which, though small, hold out the
fascinating possibility of making
them still bigger.

BERLIN, Germany. April 1S.-Three
years after the close of the war SHINES
had his super-trust built and working
smoothly. 1t included coal mines in the
Ruhr. iron mines in Austria, blast fur
naces and steel mills chiefly In the
Ruhr, factories for electro-technic ma
chimes and many others using iron and
ships. His ptoblems then became, not
how to make money. but what to do
with the money he made.
A good deal of his money he seems
TO have invested pretty much at ran
dom. but nearly all his purchases really
came to serve the needs of his former
undertakings or else to form the basis
OF new ones. To assure supplies OF
wood needed for construction work In
his coal mines, he purchased forests in
East Prussia and Scandinavia. Then to
consume the surplus produce of the for
ests he bought celiulose mills and paper
factories. To assure. a steady sale OF
the products of these factories he
bought newspapers and publishing
houses. and even type foundry.
