There was a fanfare of trumpets and
two bodies of household troops stood
at attention. The royal colors were
displayed and with uncovered heads
we passed on to the stone staircase
which for the occasion was laid with
a heavy red plush carpeting. Along

ancient looking halberds.
"We were ushered into a large ro

ble. Then we turned to the right,
mounted a few more stairs and came
into another long room with lofty
windows along one side. Between
the windows were niches in which
stood knights in armor (without the ;
knights themselves, of course.) Along
the other side of this long room or
passage there was a row of beauti-j

the opinion that the step was

the department to allow the

Impossible that a German explosives

difficulty Is to obtain an unbelievably

Since It is a manufacturer of ex

diamonds, lie said It was possible
that experimenters had' succeeded in
obtaining the desired pressure.
He did not believe diamonds can
be manufactured artiilclally at less
