South Africa the Nesting Place of
Sparkling Diamonds.
No Real Reason Why Their Cost

of the British-BOer War-EnOr-
nous Quantities Already in the
Hands of Merchants and Lapidaries

America with all its riches said dis

tative. depends upon South Africa for its
supply Of diamonds. Much has been said
regarding the necessary rise in the price
OF diamonds consequent upon the present
British Boer war. but there is already in
the hands of the lapidaries and merchants
such an enormous quantity Of these pre-
cious stones that do not think the price
could be raised in the course Of the next
year. even considering that the war lasted
that length Of time. It is undoubtedly the
fact that the world now looks for the most
part to South Africa as the source Of sup
ply for its diamonds although a limited
supply OF very fine stones still come from
Brazil and other parts Of South America.
1T is a remarkable fact that the dry
diggngs in the mines of the Kimberley
district afford the only locality in viii h

covery Of these mines that water was
necessary in a locality which contained
diamonds and it was inferred that il was
a necessary ingredient in their formation.
So far from this being the fact however.
it is the opposite element OF fire which
has most materially assisted in the fOrma-
tiOn Of the diamond. The South African
mines are located in pans, or depress -Ous,
in which are found the blue earth which is
now recognized as the matrix OF the d a
mond. These depressiOns evidently formed
the vents of ancient volcanoes, which have
been worn down by the forces Of the at
mosphere. and are the pipes or tubes
through which the lava reached the sur
face. The black shale partly surrounding
the vents contain a large percentage Of
carbon. from which material. b. the proc
ess of crystalliZatiOn the diamonds have
been formed
In view of the illustration Of the origin
OF the diamond afforded by the mines Of
Kimberley il is interesting to note the pre-
viOus speCulatiOns upon the subject. some
of them by the most eminent scientists aud
philosophers of past ages. Thus Sir Isa-
ac Newton conjectured that the diamond
was an unctuous substance cOagulated;
jameson thought it might be a secretion
from some ancient tree. like amber and
Brewster also traced it to a vegetable
source. Lavoisier. Guyton- MOrvean and
others observed black sDecks whsu dia-
mOnds were burned which were consider
cd as uncrysJallized carbon. Petzhold. in
1912. also supported this view. affirming
that he had found vegetable cells in the
ashes Of diamonds. Goepperb in his Ha-
arlem Prize Essay in 1868, supported the
same view both from supposed plant it's
sues and from other enclosures in dia-
mOnds but admitted that the evidence was
not free from doubt. Liebig and others
have explained its origin by a slow process
Of decomposition in a fluid rich in carbon
and hydrogen. 1t may be mentioned that
while diamonds have been reduced to more
or less pure carbon. all attempts to re-
verse the process. Notwithstanding rumors
TO the contrary. have signally failed"
