ORIGIN OF THE DIAMOND.

biologists Cannot Read tho History of
the Gem.
This is still one Of the mysteries OF
geology. When the South African
fields were discovered there was much
astonishmeut TO find the gem in a series
of minerals quite different from those
in which it had been hitherto found in
India and Brazil says Good News In
stead of lying beside tourmaline, an
atase and broolSite it was mingled with
a breccia Of magnetism rocks which
had evidently been pushed up from be-
low, and great variety of minerals,
such as diopside mica, zirc0n, corundum,
were embedded along with it, Some
have supposed that the diamond was
originally formed where it IS now
picked up, and the presence Of carbu-
retted gas and carbouiferous rocks are
in favor Of the idea, but on the other
hand the broken condition Of some OF
the stones. and other facts, make it far
more probable that tho diamond has
been elected from a deeper source. Ac-
cordiug TO NJ, Daubree, the well-kuowu
French miueralogist, the diamond issues
from the infragrantic regions Of the
earth's crust, where pcriodot is prevail

made from rock crystal, broacic acid
and caustic potash, purified by alcohol,
