J. Campbell, of London, On- tarlo, read a paper which concluded that the feeding of liver, whether from beef, calves, sheep, or pigs, has been proved very successful in com- bating pernicious anacmia. He point | ed out that as the duration of this dis- ease is from five to ten years, it was too early to say that liver feeding was a cure. Results, however, after one year’s experiment, were very promising.

Method of Detecting Artificial Diamonds

X-Ray Analysis Has Proved to Be Most Rapid

Diamond fakes and how to detect them is the subject of an interesting article which appeared In the Popu- lar Pictorial from the pen of Elaine Bickerstaffe.

It is difficult to say when the dia- mond ¥ first discovered, but it ha always been desirable to man — and] woman-kind—and in days gone by marvellous virtues were attributed to the sparkling gem.

It was believed to have power to avert insanity, and also to render poi- sons harml It was also regarded ag the stone of reconciliation between man and wife, which is perhaps not aliogether an ancient idea,

But with this stone with many others, faking has been reduced in the course of time to a very fine art. | Numerous attempts have been made

}to produce the diamond artificially by chemical means, which are of great | interest scientifically on account of the great mystery that for a long \tithe surrounded the natural orfgin of chem- | ically speaking, diamonds are merely ; pure rbon in crystalline form, ; some times found colored by traces of |

So, too, have the methods for de- tecting these forgeries. It was re- | cently announced that a special gem | testing institute had been established in Vienna, and similar studies are be- ing carried on {in this country, Speci- fic gravity tests, tests for hardness, and the use of the polariscope all help in the process of detection, but the neatest and most rapid method of running a faked diamond jo earth is by X-ray analysis, for a pure diamond is transparent to the rays but paste and other fakes are quite opaque.

Constructing Large Elevator New Building at Port Arthur for U.G.G. of Canada

Work has begun on the construc- tion of a 5,500,000 bushel elevator for the United Grain Growers of Canada } ata cost of $2,000,000. and is to be completed by February, 1928. This elevator will be the largest single working elevator, constructed in one unit, in the world. The building wil measure 600 feet by 1,400 feet. It will be an all-concrete structure with 500 concrete storage tanks. Adjoining it will be a dock 1.000 feet long.

An Anclent Custom

Ostracism was a method employed by the ancient Athenians of banish- ing citizens whose influence was con- | sidered prejudicial to the state. A day |for yoting was fixed when the people wrote on small earthen tablets or |shells the names of those whom they wished banished. Six thousand votes were necessary to drive a man into exile. To ostracise today means to ignore, to exclude from a certain 80 cial circle.

In 1741 the Chinese people number ed only about more than the United States population of today, and in the fifty years following 174% the population more than doubled, ad- vancing at the rate of 15 to the 1,000 people every year. In the next half century the population Inecreas ed down to less than five additions a year to each 1,000 people. From 1849 down to 1923 the rate of addition has gone down to only .81 a thousand.
