The Diamond.

WHEN the diamond is rabbed it be-
comes positively electrical, even before
being cut, in which it differs from all
other gems. When, after exposure to
direct sunlight, it is suddenly placed
in darkness, it shows phosphorescence,
and the evolution of light continues
for some time. 1t is not acted upon
bv any acid or alkali. But it may be
consumed and completely oXidized by
carbonic acid at high heat in the at
mosphere. 1t is so difficult to burn
that the ordinary blow-pipe flame has
no effect upon 1t. 1t may be heated to
whiteness in a closed crucible without
change, but it begins to burn in muf-
file at the melting point of silver. At
a high heat with nitrate of potash it is
rapidly decomposed.
Miners are generally not familiar
with the appearance of diamonds in
the rough state, and would most likely
mistake them, if found, for chalcedony
or some similar mineral. If in crystal
form it would be to them crystal
only-interesting for the moment, to
be soon thrown aside as useless.
| have heard of a case where
beautiful crystal, supposed to
be diamond, being found
in some placer mine in Califor-
MIA, was put to the following test: 1t
was placed on an anvil and struck a
heavy blow with a sledge-hammer, it
being assumed that the diamond, be-
ing the hardest of known substances,
could not be broken. This idea is

more ancient than is generally sup
posed. The statement has been made
by Pliny, but it is doubtful if he ever
made the experiment himself. In
speaking of diamond, he says it can
not be q ushed, but would split ham,
mers and anvils in the attempt. 1t is
certain that this is a mistake. The
diamond can be split on the edge of a
knife, and even light blow with a
hammer might destroy the most costly
gem.
The diamond is supposed to be of
vegetable origin, and is believed, by
those who have studied it carefully, to
be produced by slow decomposition of
vegetable or bituminous matters. Zone

1t requires practice to judge of the
diamond in its rough state. A rough
diamond of the first water would be
hardly recognized by the uneducated
eye as a valuable gem. In describing
the diamond many of its Characters

Half the stone is sometimes cut away
before a perfect gem can be produced.

There is peculiar appearance about
a rough diamond which can hardly be
described. | question if any written
description would convey to the reader
a correct idea of what they are exactly
like. 1t is easy to say that they pos
sess peculiar luster, like spermaceti,
but who would feel certain of the iden-
tity of a diamond from such a deScrip-
ton? Once seen this peculiar luster
becomes impressed on the mind. To
educate the eye, models of rough dia-
mOndS are made at Amsterdam for the
use of prospectors, and they are found
extremely useful.
Newton first suggested the proba-
bility of the diamond being combusti-
bic. He was led to this opinion by
observing its power of refracting light
50 strongly. 1t was in 1915 that he adj
vanced this theory. In 1904 the MEM
bers of the Academy of Florence sue
ceeded by means of powerful lenses in
consuming diamonds. LavOisier and
others proved that the diamond was
not evaporated, as supposed by the
\ cademiCianS, but was actually
burned. LavOiSier found by his eX-
pertinent that if air was excluded no
decomposition took place. He burned
diamonds in close vessels with power
full burning-glasses, and found that
carbonic acid was produced, and dis
covered and announced the striking
similarity between their nature and
