sence Of certain metals of which mag
nesium is one, the hydrogen is attracted
by the metal and the carbon set free
and if, further, this decomposition takes
place in the presence Of a stable com
pound containing nitrogen, the whole
being near red heat and under high
pressure, than the carbon is obtained In
the clear crystalline form The great
difficulty lies in the construction OF
vessel strong enough to stand the neces-
sary pressure. Iron tubes Of 4 inches
diameter and only half an inch bore

Hannay does not tell what compound of
nitrogen he uses but, from some known
facts connected with the formation Of
graphite, Professor Dewar conjectures it
to be a cyanide For the present, at
least, however the owners Of diamonds
need not fear that their gems will lose
their value, as every carat of artificial
diamond made by the process, as thus
far worked out would cost a great deal
more than a natural diamond of the
same weight Thus far the largest one
made would only weigh about one one.
