two most reasonable expositions are per-
hans the explanations put forward by NJ.
Parrot and Baron Liebig. The former
scientist, who has laboriously investigated
the pcrplexing subject, Is OF tho opinion
that tho diamond arises from the opera
zion of violent volcanic heat on small par
ticles of carbon contained in the rock or
on a substance composed of large proper.
ton of caroon and smaller quantity OF
HYDROGEN. BY this theory, as he conceiVes
we are best able to account for the cracks
and flaws so often noticed In the gem and
tho frequent occurrence Of included parti-
cles of black carbonaceous matter.
Baron Liebig, on tho other hand, claims
the credit OF Offering a simple explanation
OF the probable process which actually
takes place in the formation OF the Ola
mond. His contention is that science can
point to no process capable Of accounting
for the origin and production of diamonds,
except the powers Of decay. II we sup
