one enthusiastic estimate those who think of real solitaires sparkling on the counters of ilveandten stores will loe interest in dr hershey at ikc hack in 1s9c a french chemist lloissan made microscope diamonds until hershey came along these wire the largest ever produced be cause they were so small there was some doubt about them they could not be chemically tested with the thoroughness demanded because tiey were just a few specks of matter hersheys biggesl diamond is four times as big as anything that moisson made but is it a diamond here dr sesta comes to the rescue in the philosophical magazine after a thorough consideration of all that has been done he decides thai mols- san did obtain real diamonds tiik method employed llthold then dr hershey making diamonds by ihe moissan method he fills a little crucible with iron filings and sugar carbon and puts it in an electric furnace at a temperature of m0 degrees c aooo f the mixt ure melts into a whitehot liquid dr hershey drops ihe crucible into a vo of cold water a hiss a cloud of steam the crucible contracts as it suddenly chillssqueezes the mixt ure the pressure exceeds ten tons to the square inch dr hershey calcu lates inside of the cooled crucible is a i black mass does it contain diamonds dr herhey must eat away the solid iron with something that will not af fect the diamonds so lie steeps too mass in

relying tin sesta dr hershey is convince that they are no one knows exac ly how dia monds were made by nature high temperature and high pressure seem to he necessary hence the 3000 de grees c and henco the plunging of the glowing crucible into cold to ob tain the pressure by contraction the sugar carbon is used because dia monds are crystallized carbon and crystallization is brought about by heat and pressure a forcible rear rangement of atoms is this the beginning of something commercial let dr hershey speak for himself the artificial construction of the diamonds he says is no longer an unattainable goal the difficulties that prevent tle preparation of large and beautiful diamonds are only tech nical i aeeeeeeeeeeteeieee every day living a weekly tonic by dr m m lappin noise i

corridors of keeping ra dios go full blast into the small hours of the morning i get little sympathy complains my correspondent 1 am always trying myself to be quiet and con siderate of other peoples comfort and would never think of entering a house late at night tramping through a hall and slamming doors i consider it very had manners and a mean and selfish thing to do in that last sentence i feel my self almost in agreement with her if folks would only think about these seeming little things they would bo more considerate of others but they dont think and thought lessness is very often the parent of unconscious selfishness we live in a world of noise in deed there is so much noise in the world that civic and other public bodies here and there feel that something ought to be done about it in new york city for example a movement to eliminate noise was sponsored recently by the mayor of that city but there seems to be so little that can really be done o elim inate noise we cannot expect or hope to eliminate it altogether my own opinion is that if we could only get men and women to take a little more thought for others that would go a long way there is so much noise that will always bo necessary that we should try to eliminate all that is unnecessary after all if we must he out late at night we need not let the whole neighborhood know about it and if we do want to listen to some late programme on the radio there is urely no need to keep the radio at full blast we can tone it down and radios are so well constructed today that it is an easy matter to tone down so that the programme may be heard quite clearly within the room without disturbing anyone without if only we would try to be a little more considerate of the other fellow how much more pleas ant life would be for all of us on the other hand i feel that per haps my correspondent is somewhat sensitive it may be that she is of a nervous temperament and easily disturbed or perhaps she is among so much noise during the day that she longs for the quiet of the even ing and night and when she does not get that quiet she feels that more disturbed there are many who will know how to sympathise with her i

noises by suggesting to oneself the need for sleep and the ability to sleep sleep can be induced in spite of noise granted it is not easy one has to go in for some mental training and jo learn the art

find a nice quiet locality in which to live and to go in for jfoine kind of mental training that will enable her to adjust herself to her surrounding environment of course one could always rteommend
