New Orleans and Galveaton now export more wheat than New York. The degree of heat sufficient to pro duce arc light carbons, or graphite, is not nearly great enough for >the for mation of crystals. It requires a tem perature of approximately 6000 degrees to produce very small artificial dia monds, and when nature made i those in her famous diamond beds a heat of probably not less than 10,000 degrees was utilized in the process. ¦ The purpoae, then, of the electric fur nace in the electro-chemical production of diamonds is to obtain as high a de gree of temperature as possible. The electric furnace is an exceedingly slm* pie and at once a clever device for pro ducing high temperatures. In its sim plest form it consists merely of an electric arc light joined between two carbons of large diameter, the heat of, which is concentrated in a little cruci ble of graphite. Of . course, the light of the arc has nothing to do with the chemical pro cesses evolved in the crucible, whether it is employed in the manufacture of aluminum-silexicon or crystallized carbon, but it is the terrific heat ema nating from the arc that consummates the operation. It consists of an iron casing having a lower block of carbonate of lime consti- 1 tutlng the body of the furnace. The reason carbonate of lime is used is that it is not apt to split under the intAnaa GREAT HEAT NEEDED. Graphite is found in nature in large quantities, and it may be 'prepared artificially by dissolving charcoal in melted iron, and when this mixture has cooled graphite will be deposited; all forms of carbon which are neither dia mond nor graphite are called amor phous carbon, meaning simply that they are not crystallized. Amorphous carbon may be obtained easily by! burning wood in a kiln, the resultant product being charcoal, or coal may be fused in a retort, the product being coke; if coke is powdered and mixed with molasses and baked in a furnace the form of carbon used for arc lights results; the temperature required for obtaining this kind of carbon is very low— a degree ranging from 50 to 200 centigrade being quite sufficient. A curious anomaly relating to graph ite is that it is one of the best lubri cators known for machine bearings, whereas carbon, its predecessor, and diamond, its successor, are both so hard and shan> either would cut a steel shaft to pieces in a few seconds. In fact, graphite is so soft that it will leave a mark on paper and is used In the manufacture of lead pencils. CONCEBNING GRAPHITE. Hard, upon the announcement from Paris of the marvelous qualities of ra dium and Its value for testing the gen uineness of diamonds comes a cable gram stating that making real dia monds artificially by tlectrldty is a success. These manufactured stones are not base imitations, but genuine diamonds made under the same condi tions that nature employs, that is, heat and pressure, and these absolutely essential factors are obtained by means of the electric furnace. It is also true that they are not large diamonds. Professor Henri Moisson of the Uni versity of Paris, famous for his re searches in electro-chemistry, has at last been rewarded in his attempts to reproduce the crystallized gem of na ture so highly valued by connoisseurs and so much sought after by society. The manufacture of diamonds by the electric furnace process Is directly due to Lavolssier, who showed conclusively that the diamond waa merely crystal lized carbon, just as glass Is crystal lized sand. "When this deduction had been made by Lavoissier and had been proven by a complete physical demon stration, electro chemists set to work in earnest to devise the same conditions under which the gems were produced by nature. It is well known that the diamond is but another form of carbon, and as it is easy to obtain carbon, since it oc curs in combination in nearly every thing in nature, including vegetable and animal life and their fossil re mains, it would seem not unreasonable to find a method to obtain the diamond artificially. When carbon is found uncombined with other substances it occurs in three very different forms, namely (1) as the diamond, (2) as graphite or plumbago and (3) as amorphous carbon. When the diamond is found in the celebrated beds of Borneo, Sumatra, Brazil or the Cape of Good Hope it is covered with an opaaue layer before Its beautiful properties appear. Parisian Produces Gem So Highly Valued by Connoisseurs. MAKES DIAMONDS BY ELECTRICITY By multiplying the amperes by the volts we get the total amount of elec trical energy In watts. Now, there are 547 watts in a horsepower, and a sim ple calculation shows that a current equal to sixty-seven horsepower is con sumed in generating heat sufficient for the making of a diamond. A cavity Is formed In the lower block for. the crucible, which is made of molded carbon. In the earlier experi ments of Moisson retort carbon was used, but it was found that the intense heat converted the carbon Into praph ite, causing it to swell out of shape. The crucibles are about three Inches high and four inches in diameter. When the crucible is set into position In the hollow block of lime the carbons. placed horizontally, are directed through the furnace over the mouth of the Crucible. The.se carbons are two inches in diameter and are capable of carrying a current of 1000 amperes at 500 volts' pressure.. CRUCIBLES OF CARBON. "Attlcus, a Roman blbliophilist, tralnefi a large number of slaves to the especial duty of merely transcribing. There were five readers for each 100 trained writers in different apartments, and 500 copies of a short poem or small book could be pro duced rapidly and at little cost, less by far than the boasted powers of the press with all our modern appliances in the art of printing. These shorthand slaves could produce in twelve hours 500 copies of a poem equal in extent to Tennyson's 'Enoch Arden' and Its accompanying poems, and for this work they received one pound of a kind of common corn each, with a small allowance of wine. This kind of 'feed* would not go with stenog raphers of the present day. We have a fair and healthy scale of prices for our work and we receive it or we don't work." heat and because it can be obtained in solid blocks of large size. COPYING BOOKS. "The Assyrians came nearer to the printing press than did the Egyptians, for they discovered and practiced a meth od of rapidly multiplying their writings, using engraved seals, consisting of cylin ders from which any number of impres sions could be made. Naturally intellec tual advancement was rapid with the In troduction of 'circulating documents, books and papers.* for the reading class was then only the wealthy, even in the best days of Roman civilization. The assembled intellect heard the news at the Olympian games and in the Athenian theater. , WORK OF EDUCATED SLAVES. "Cicero's shorthand reporters were the beginning of the stenographic art. without which we could not get along very well in this age of newspaperlng. Cicero's plan called only for the taking down and copy ing of the proceedings of the Senate by educated slaves, and these copies were sent out. Cicero worked on the same plan of gaining popularity as do the statesmen who send out the Congressional Record, public documents and garden seed, and ha was unquestionably a pretty shrewd poli tician. It is gratifying, however, to sten ographers of the present day to know that we are not slaves as were the writers and shorthand reporters of those days. True we have frequently long hours and laborious work, but one of our profession will earn more in a single day than did the ancient reporters in a whole year. It was. unquestionably, the system of slav ery which was the bane of ancient civili zation and the primai-y cause of its ruin. Capital owned labor; therefore, labor was cheap and without dignity. Authors dined upon rarities costing thousands of dol lars in the case of a single meal, while his slaves who produced bis books were near ly starved. The only cost involved in the production of a book was the sustenance of the servile writers and embellishers. Publication was carried on Ju3t as a plantation was worked In the days before the war. The largest books, with the most beautiful and expensive bindings, could be produced at a far less cost in dollars and cents than they can be made in this day. And the same reasons which prevented modern Improvements in tha old slave-holding States prevented the in troduction of the printing press as an or gan of ancient civilization. "Julius Caesar, bidding for popularity in his first consulate, caused th» proceedings of the Roman Senate to be published dally, and these reports were taken down by trained writers, who were called tabu laril, being what we to-day style report ers. These reporters were probably only rapid writers using the ordinary charac ters. The reports were revised and edited before their exposure to the public eye, and were then circulated even in the dis tant provinces— Just the same as the Con gressional Record is now ser.t to the con stituents of members of our Congress. Prior to this time the great annals of the lawmakers were written on tablets and placed in a room of the pontiff, where they were accessible to the public. The people had to go to the 'newspaper,' and it was not delivered at their homes as now. This room of the pontiff was a general reading room, reminding one of the periodical room of the Congressional Library. "Why the ancients had no printing presses it has been difficult for students to decide, for they had the material for making them and paper and pa/chment for printing, and then, as now, there was a heavy and growing demand for reading matter. It was not until the material for writing changed that' there was much progress in the matter of spreading the news. The decalogue was written upon tablets of stone; the Athenian record, now known as the 'Parian Chronicle,' was en graved upon tablets of marble, and next we find inscriptions on thin plates of metal and on the broad leaves of certain plants, on sheets formed of woyf/i texture from the bark of trees and on the skins of animals. These heavy and cumbrous 'volumes' were as difficult to handle as the iron money imposed upon the Spar tans. "It was eminently proper that wr should place a tablet over the grave of Thomas Lloyd, the first official stenographer to tha American Congress." said a veteran of tha art to a Star reporter, "and I have been deeply Interested In delving into ancient history to find out when and where short hand reporting was first Introduced. Even before the days of printing presses Cicero introduced a -system of shorthand report ing, called the Tyronean method, from Tyro, a freedman. who was one of Cicero's most expert writers. That even at that early date systems of shorthand writing— stenography— came into general use for certain purposes, and that the methods were very effective, we may in fer from a passage in Horace, who. when addressing a shorthand writer, says: 'You write in such a manner that you will have no occasion In four whole years to ask for another sheet of parchment.'
