Synthetic Crystal Discoveries
Hint at Mon-Mode Diamonds
BY Thosnos R. Henry

"Growing" emeralds In q week
and crystals of other varieties 81
beryl in less than q month was &C.
complished by German scientists
during the war. Nature would re-
quire several hundred years for the
same process.
They also produced fine quartz
crystals, essential for various types
Of field signaling apparatus, when
Germany lost her natural source OF
supply In the Ukraine In le4S. Sew
eral other types Of synthetic crys-
tails were developed with electrical
qualities as good as or better than
quartz.
All this work may lead the way
eventually to the production in the
laboratory Of genuine diamonds,
which are carbon In crystal form.
Work Kept Secret.
Details gathered by scientists at
tached to the Army, who visited un-
iversity and commercial laboratories
shortly after the German surrender,
have just been released here through
the Commerce Department.
The basic theory, they report,
dates back to the end OF the last
century, when the Italian scientist,
Spezia, was able to make in his
laboratory very tiny quartz crystals.
This led, for q time, to work by
chemists all over the world in an
effort to create precious stones Of
various types. None of this work
was successful, and artificial dia-
monds" soon became a stock-in-
trade of racketeers,
The Germans Nere spurred to
renewed efforts by war necessities
and had made considerable progress
even before the war. Most Of the
work was kept strictly secret. The
problems facing them were those
of duplicating the designs wrought
by nature with tremendous heats
and pressures during thousands Of
years. Their accomplishments in
this direction were largely the re-
suit Of minute attention to details,
the investigators report.
Tricky Technique.
The chief worker was Prof.
Richard Nacken, formerly Of the
University Of Leipzig, geological
chemist with an international repu-
tation. During the war he had
been provided with a special labora-
tory by one Of the large watch
companies.
Prof. Nacken, the investigators re-
port, was very cooperative. He
readily exhibited his laboratory
made emeralds. For other types of
crystals he even predicted that,
within about a year, he might be
able to perfect his methods so that
the manufacture could be under
taken on commercial basis.
He worked, for the most part,
with water solutions at temperatures
Of about 500 degrees centigrade, pre-
sumably higher than the tempera-
ture at which capitalization pro-
ceeds In nature. He told the In
vestigators his technique was ex-
tremely tricky and probably would

A Little More Optimism
From the Manchester Guardian.

FROM the Manchester Guardian.
There is too great a tendency at the
moment to make the state responsible
for everything that goes wrong. Labor
is short; the demobilized man shakes
a loose leg for weeks before he returns
to his old job or quite as often looks
around for something new. What can
the government do about that? The
rehabilitation leave was fixed under
the coalition; nobody dare suggest that
men should be drafted compulsorily
Into jobs; such labor controls as exist
are strongly resented. Obviously the
remedy is to make employment attrac-
tive and to create the public sentiment
that will frown on voluntary idleness.
No one can read accounts of the way in
which America is tackling reconversion
without feeling that our industries have
great deal to learn about the right
psychological approach. American in
dustry breathes optimism; it is no
doubt given to "ballyhoo,' but all the
same even overstatement and blatancy
help to create an atmosphere of con-
fldence. 1t is more difficult for us with
our poor tables and thinly stocked
shops, but we have not made the most
even of our meager blessings

Wild Apple Trees

Over vast stretches of the Nation
one finds them-spraWling, tangled,
twisted trees. They grow on craggy
upland pastures and on hummocks
in lowland sWamps. One finds them
in fence corners and beside rail or
StoneWall fences. No one knows ex-
actly how or when the apple was
first cultivated by man, although
some experts believe they were first
given attention by the husbandman
just south of the Caucasus Noun
tains in Georgia, Russia. Now some
1000 varieties are cultivated, and it
is the most widely grown fruit of
the temperate zone of the world.
The wild apples have a different
appeal to him who is sensitive to
nature. Apples do not come true to
name from seed. Hence when birds
and animals carry the seeds of the
fruit over the countryside, the seed
lings grow into wild trees. Some
grow high in the air, where they are
crowded by pines and hemlocks,
birches and ash; in more open spots
they are lew-headed, wide-sprawly
trees. They are filled with suckers,
and often bare, dead limbs make
a groteSque and unusual pattern
against the sky in winter.
Wild apple trees are good friends
OF the wildfolk. The flickers and
chickadeeS make their homes in hol-
low trunks and branches, and the
Wooapeckers and nuthatches assidu-
ously search the crevices of the
shaggy bark. In the late fall, in the
New England region, the pheasants,
partridges and deer dig among
leaves and snow for the brown,
pulpy wizened fruit, and often on a
fresh snowfall the countryman likes
to read the stories in the snow where
the wild things have been around
investigating. There is nothing pre-
tentious about them. But the wild
apple trees of the woodland and
pastures are a friendly part of the
scene to him who studies nature in
her myriad forms.

their tolerant attitude has mini
mized religious and racial antagon-
isms such as prevail in India.
1t is on this basis that the British
have climaxed long apprenticeship
in self-government with the recent
grant of constitution with a wide
measure of autonomy. This consti-
tuition has been gladly accepted, and
the Ceylonese look forward to do
minion status within the empire.
There is no desire to federate with
India, whose troubles are looked on
askance from Ceylon. Indeed, with
the impending termination of Brit
ish rule over India. Ceylon .antici-
pates a profitable relationship with
