A Diamond Experiment.

A curious point in diamond lore has
lust been established, to the delight OF
savants in Paris, whore the exhibition
OF the crown jewels at the Louvre has
made the subject very popular for the
moment. II has long been laid down
that the diamond has the power OF re-
tanning light and Of afterward emitting
IL In the dark. The theory has been
well buttressed by reasons, but the proof
has not been easy OF test. All, or nearly
all, the great diamonds-such as the
Kohinoor, the Regent, the Grand Mogul
cannot for public reasons be made the
subject Of experiment, and stones Of
lesser size do not always give satisfactory
results. Happily. a private individual,
the owner Of gem OF ~ carats, and
estimated at u value of 300, 000f., has
lent his diamond for scientific investiga-
tions, These have bsen most satisfac-
tory, and the "phosphorescence" OF the
stone may be regarded as proved. Tbs
diamond was exposed for an hour to
the direct action of the suns rays and
aftsrwsrd removed into a dark room.
For more than twenty minutes afterward
IL emitted light, feeble indeed, but
still su fficiently strong to make a sheet
Of white paper held near 1t quite visible
In the lark. A similar result was ar.
rived at by q very different experiment.
and light was generated BY rubbing the
stone with piece Of hard flannel
