Diamonds That Explode.

A curious fact regarding diamonds
is that 1t is not uncommon for the
crystals to explode as soon as they
are brought up from the mine. Some
times they have burst in the pockets
or the warm hands Of miners, due to
the effect Of increased temperature.
Large stones are more likely to do
this than small ones. Valuable stones
have been destroyed in this way. BY

sembled an oyster pearl, only it was a
little duller. Cocoanut pearls are found
In the heart of the nut. 1t Is thought
that they are formed by the hardening
Of the nuts flesh. They are, so to
