SOMES PLENDID WORK.
Being Turned Out by the Tribune Publish
ing Company.
The Tribune Publishing Company
is doing some splendid work in its
newly equipped job department.
No better work can be done any
where and prices are in accord with
the times and the ruling rates for such
work.
Mr. Sam Hudgins, who is an artist
in that line of work, has been added
to the force in that department, and
patrons of The Tribune may be as
sured that their orders will be filled
promptly and in the most artistic
manner.
HE CAN MAKE DIAMONDS.
Bat the Manufacture of Artificial Gems
Is Not Profitable.
There is a man in this country who
can make diamonds. He is Professor
Henri Moissan of Paris, and he recently
made hie first public lecture in America
from the platform of the assembly hall
in the Chicago university. He is a
widely known scientist, and his fame
rests chiefly on the fact that in 1898 he
produced by artificial means several
diamonds. They were small stones, but
they had all the qualities of genuine
natural gems.
Professor Moissan’sdiscovery, as may
be imagined, caused general surprise,
and he has ewer since been a personage
of no little importance in the scientific
world. The French government and al
most every scientific body in existence
has recognized the importance of his
discovery and done him honor in some
way or another.
He came to the United States as the
representative of the University of Paris
to the Princeton sesquicentennial and

PROFESSOR HENRI MOISSAN.
has been so well pleased by his recep
tion and the impression he has gained
of the country in general that he con
templates paying us another visit at an
early date.
Everywhere Professor Moissan goes
he is asked to explain his process for
diamond making. He is always ready
to give it, too, for it is so complicated
and expensive that there is no prospect
that “homemade” diamonds will be
come common. Although the composi
tion of diamonds was very generally un
derstood, it was not until he had made
his famous experiments with a specially
devised electric furnace, in which he
was able to generate from 3,000 to 8,600
degrees centigrade of heat that any
one had solved the secret of producing
these precious stones. He has also made
other discoveries in chemistry which
have brought him fame and honor.

ELECTORAL COLLEGE
Formal Method of Procedure in Electing a
President.
There are many inquiries, much dis
cussion and not a few small wagers these
days about the electoral college, what it
is and its method of procedure in formally
electing a president of the United States.
This is the way It is done. Tne electors
meet at their respective state capitals,
choose the president and vice-presi
dent and send certificates of their choice
to the presiding officer of the United
States senate. They meet on the first
Wednesday of December following the
election.
Congress meets on the second Wednes
day of Febuaiy next to witness the count
ing of the electoral votes, both houses
meeting in one chamber.

The Price of Wheat.
The wheat market is now exciting
more interest than any other thing in
the commercial world. The anxiously
asked question is—Will it stay up? In
reply it is pointed out as a well ascer
tained fact that Europe is scarce cf
wheat and that four of the leading
wheat countries, Argentine, Austra
lia, India and Russia have very little
to spare. If these statements be true
there is every reason to believe that
the price of American wheat will not
only stay up but will go even higher.
Whenever Europe has had to look to
this country to make good her short
age wheat has gone up often much
higher than it is now. If, therefore, the
past remains a safe criterion by which to
judge of the future, there would appear
to be nothing abnormal about the re
cent advance, nor any serious impro
priety in anticipating even higher figures
than those touched last week.
Aheady large profits have been real
ized, and it is estimated that on the pres
ent supply the profit by the advanced
price will be near unto $60,000,000. It
is said that a larger proportion of this
year's wheat is still in the hands of farm
ers than in any season for many years. It
is to be hoped that this is so.
