ARTIFICIAL DIAMONDS.
The Various Attempts That Have Beer
Made to Manufacture This Gem.

Trying to make diamonds will always be
an Interesting subject to the majority OF
men. The late attempt Of Mr.. Hannay, Of
Glasgow, which Prof MaskeleyDe, of the
British Museum, declares Is a perfect sue
cess, is by no means the first that has been
made. The earliest experiments of any im-
portance were recent, however-only fifty
two years since. Latour and Gannal, the
French chemists, then presented pure pieces
Of crystalized carbon to the Academy Of
Sciences, and caused thereby the greatest
excitement everybody supposing that the
secret Of making diamonds had been discov-
cred. The result proved that the small crys-
tails. although transparent, brilliant and
nor refract rays of light sufficiently to
render them valuable. Notwithstanding
that they We're composed Of the
came material as diamonds, they had
heat-test, as Mactear's crystals were. but
like his, they underwent no perceptible
change. Still, only natural diamonds would
scratch them. ChampiKny, director Of ceIe-
them genuine; whereupon followed the great
diamond panic 1929 which affected the whole
commercial globe, and which, doubtless, some
of our readers remember. A few years later
the French savant, Daspretz, again startled
the world by announcing that he had pro-
duced artificial diamonds. His method was
to fix a cylinder Of pure carbon to the positive
pole of a weak Daneli pole, and platinum
wire to the negative pole, and then to plunge
both poles into acIdulated water. In two
months the negative pole was covered with q
black coating, when was sent to Gaudin
Marc Antoinel to be tested on hard stones
Mixed with little oil, the black particles
would polish rublcs, and as the diamond alone
will do this. Gaudin did not hesitate to declare
the particles diamonds dust, a conclusion
generally accepted at the time by men
OF science. The question. Can diamonds be
made artilicialIy2' IS still open, and many
chemists feel sure that 1t will ere long he an
swered In the affirmative by experiments alb
sOlutely successful. They have already been
produced In material, though not in prop
critics. ills thought that these may be OBJ
tanned BY cutting the crystals differently
from what they are now cut Such discoy-
cry would not be much more remarkable than
the discovery made by Enguiner l45G) In
producing facets, and perfected by Coster Iii
making planes on the koh-i-noor The effect
OF such discovery may be conjectured by
reference to the diamond panic Of 1928 It
would reyolutionZe values and create a pro-
digious commotion In both hemispheres: bit
the commotlon would aDate In due time. and

OF all the diamonds In royal treasures, in
mercantile, titled and private hands. and
elsewhere, Is stupendous. 1t has been esti-

very young heroine, Miss Esther Mary
Cornish Bowden, aged eight years, has just
been awarded by the Royal Humane Society
It's medal and a handsome testimonial ex-
planatory OF the circumstances under which
she bravely entitled herself to receive that
medal. She Is the daughter Of gentleman
living at Blackhall, Avonwick. Ivybridge,
Devonshire, and she saved the life OF her
governess, Miss Bradshaw, who, when re-
turning from Sunday school, on the thirtieth
of November last, with the youthful heroine
and her youngest sister, turned giddy and
fell into pond six feet deep with writer. Dis
patching her youngest slster to the keeper 8
lodge, Miss Cornish Bowden bent over the
pool. trying to lay hold Of her drowning
governess. This she did, but In the effort she
overbalanced herself, fell into the pond, and
sank. Never losing her presence of mind,
she retained her grip Of the Roverness, and
her by the right hand while with the left she
caught hold Of some short bushes. In this
position they remained for about five min
utes, the child calling for help. Eventually a
passing workman heard the cries and assisted
Miss Bradshaw and the child out OF the
water. The former was much exhausted and
partially insensibie. but her brave little
rescuer appeared quite unconcerned.
