THE ORIGIN OF DIAMONDS.
Discussion OF Various Theories ON This
Subject

The New York academy ofscenco
held meeting last Monday evening to
listen to paper by DR.. Henry A. Mott
on "The Diamond; It's Origin Artificial
production, and uses" J. :. Newberry,
president Of the tho academy, occupied
the chair, and the two large parlors
were completely filled with ladies and
gentlemen. DIR. Motifs paper did not
aim TO give any new views or theories
in regard 10 the diamond, but it was an
interesting resume OF tle theories and
experiments Of scientific men who have
devoted years to studying the precious
gem, and endeavoring 10 reproduce il
by artificial means. The theory which
formerly prevailed that the stone was
the product of lgneous action, the
speaker thought had been exploded.
In many diamonds there were cavities
containing liquid matter, which could
hardly have existed had the stone been
subjected 10 intense heat. In other
gems were found germs Of plants and
fragments Of vegetation, which would
certainly have been destroyed by plu.
| tonic action. The most reasonable the.
DRY Of the origin Of the diamond, in the
face Of these facts, was that Of Prof.
Semler. That theory was that at some
remote period liquid carbonic acid gas
had found itself in solution with pure
carbon; that the gas gradually escaped.
and The carbon WAS deposited in crys-
tails. On this theory the presence OF
vegetable matter, and OF the liquid in
some diamonds, is reasonably account.
ed for. Every attempt % manufacture
diamonds has thus far proved failure,
but DR.. Mott believed that man would
yet succeed in making ~ perfect gems
rs those turned out from natures la.
boratory. Several diamonds from the
South African fields were exhibited
some as they came from the mines, and
others polished and prepared for mar
ket Quite long discussion on the
paper followed. DR.. Morton who has
passed two years al the mines in Africa,
said that he WAS inclined TO believe that
diamonds were constantly growing, and
that there are gems in embryo now,
which in future ages, when they had
attained their full size, would be I'M
earthed by man. In the African mines
the diamonds were found III successive
layer Of soilr, and four Of the layers
had already been penetrated by the
miners. Tat on the surface was
kind Of red sand, then came layer Of
chalky clay, then one Of shale, and the
fourth, which has now been penetrated

CREMATION.

Chicago Tribune.

Chicago Tribune.
The body Of Miss Dolly Hartman was
cremated ut Washington, Pa, Fob. 7ih.
A large crowd was at tho depot when
the funeral party arrived, but there
was no excitement. A hearse and car
riages were IN waiting, and the remains
were taken nj once to the crematory,
where everything was found to DO in
readiness fer the incineration. No one
was allowed To enter the orematory OK
cept the family Of the dead girl, some OF
the trustees Of the 10 Moyno estate,
and one reporter. AT 1880 o'clock the
body was lifted out of the coffin and
placed ON the iron frame. Tho features
of Miss Hartman were slightly shrunk-
en-, but she looked natural and life-like.
Her hair hung loosely around her head,
n tiny lock nesting on ono cheek. The
body was clad IN pure white dress OF
some material like lawn, and around
the neck was circlet OF lilies OF tho
valley. The slight figure was wrapped
IN n sheet saturated with alum water.
At III ~ the remains were placed in the
retort, the door was cemented, and the
incineration began. For u second or
two there was n slight odor M Of burn
ing feathers, which soon passed of.
Looking through the hole in the door,
the body could be seen To sink II little
nj first, and the outlines OF the figure TO
blend with the white heat OF the retort.
At the end Of three hours and n half
nothing Of the body remained but
small heap Of ashes, which will be col
lected and sent 10 tho family. Miss
Hartman weighed about eighty pounds,
tho ultimate remains only n few ounces.
Everything passed off smoothly and
satisfactorily. The affair is the chief
subject OF conversation this evening.
There is u growing feeling here in favor
Of cremation.
