The same method makes it possible to add to the size of tiny crystals already formed. so that it furnishes a way to ”grow" diamonds from ex- tremely small nuclei.

Von Bolton has found that compounds of carbon, such as illuminating gas, decompose in the presence of mercury vapor and re- lease a part of their carbon either in the black amorphous form (non-crysâ€" talline) or as miscroscopic diamonds. The same chemist has attempteh» by the following process, to ‘fced' small natural diamonds. ”He takes very find diamond dust which to the naked eye displays no brilliant point and under a magnify- ing power of sixty-eight diameters shows only a few crystals. I~l~e places this powder on a very thin layer of sodium silicate in a test-tube con- taining an amalgam of sodium in- tended to supply the necessary mer- eury vapor; and while maintaining the whole at a temperature of one . hundred degrees he introduCes a slow eurrent of illuminating gas. At the end of a month, a very small quan- tity of black carbon has been depos- ited. but the primitive layer of dust presents several brilliant points to the unaided eye. After cleaning with acids, the author makesa newex- amination under the microscope,with an enlargement of sixty-eight diaâ€" meters, and proves. with certainty that the dull diamond dust has been changed into brilliant crystals. These crystals resemble natural d...monds in burning oxygen without leaving any solid residue." â€"â€" Translation made for the Literary Digest.

The business of the company! primarily is to open retail grocery and provision stores at every ter- rninal point in ()ntariO. 'Fhe proâ€"i moters say that the railway organi-‘i zations from coast to coast have dis-. cussed the niatter and are enthusias-f tic in favor of the scheme. The in-" tention is not only to open distriâ€" buting agencies, but manufacturiesfi as theyhave recognized that the: periodical raises of wages are use- less, unless an attempt is made to' protect themselves as consumers as L well.
