suicides, and incidentally says suicide is
particularly common among the Ger

forward a theory: "The well known
national beverage Of the Germans, large

their psychological ailments into the

made to weigh nine or ten pounds per

Artificial Diamonds.

MANY pastes have been devised TOR the
preparation of these beautiful stones
None have been able in their products
to equal the natural diamond in hard
ness and b~rilliancy; but nevertheless, to
and unplactised eye, the imitation is so
~nerfect that the difference cannot be DIS
tinguished. The following formula for
making a diamond paste is said to be one
that gives the most satisfactory result
II is called "Loysel's" paste:
Take pure silica ".",."""."'" iV0 parts
Red oxide of "."".-"'..' 10y paris
Potash, calcined ...."""""""..." ~ paf,s
Arsenious acid ....."."..".... part
This produces a paste which has great
brilliancy and retroactive and dlsperslve
powers, and also a specific gravity SINH
lar to that of the oriental diamond. IL
fuses at a moderate heat, and acquires
| the greatest brilliancy when remelted
and Kept for two or three days in Il fused
state, in order to expel the s~uperabund'
ant alkali and perfect the refining. This
haste is used not only to produce tacti-
lions diamonds, but besides other tacti-
tious gems, of which it forms the basis.
