ARTIFICIAL DIAMONDS
NEW METHOD OF PRODUCTION BY
 M. MOIsSAN.
French Chemist Employs Molten Iron As a Solvent for CarbOn-ExpeF> iments of pr. Burton of
 Cambridge.

Washington, Oct. 28.-(SpeciaL)- Consule General Guenther. of Frank fort. write concerning the most re- cent efforts for the production of artt- fical diamonds, as follows:
 Crystallized carbon. as chemistry has taught for a long time, occurs in nature in two entirely different forms-as diamond and as graphite.
 Anybody who can afford to do so can burn a diamond in oxygen and be- come convinced that nothing remains except pure carbonic acid. The on- ly compensation except this knowl- edge, for the costliness of the exper- iment is the brilliant light colors un- der which the diamond. so to speak, gives up It's life
 When the nature of the diamond was first discovered many chemists were full of hope that they would succeed In producing artificial diamonds of considerable size from carbon. This, however, has not been accomplished thus far, and today 1t is assumed that the formation of large diamonds prin- cipally found in South Africa has been under conditions which have not been possible to produce in the laboratory.
 Expensive and Dangerous.
 From time to time artifical dia- monds have been made from carbon under great pressure, but these exper-
 
 than the value of the diamonds ob- tained and besides were very danger ous. In one instance the laboratory of the experimenter was completely destroyed.
 The French chemist, Moissan, has shown new method for producing ar tificial diamonds by the employment or molten iron as a solvent for car bon, and using the electric stove, in vented by himself, for producing a degree of heat hitherto not reached Through the intense heat of this cleo tric stove and by sudden cooling of the molten metal the carbon is sep arated in the form of very small dia- mond crystals.
 The London Lancet reports a further step in advance in the production ot crystallized carbon. through expert ments Of Doctor Burton, of Cambridge This scientist has proven that the dia- mond Is denser form of carbon crys- tal than graphite, and that a lesser pressure is sufficient for producing
The Montgomery advertiser., 1905-10-29

artificial diamonds than had been en- ployed heretofore. Doctor Burton in his experiments used a molten alloy of lead and some metallic calcium, which can also hold small quan- tity of carbon in solution.
 Wonderful Results shown.
 If the calcium is separated from the molten mass. some of the carbon crys- tallizes. The separation of calcium can. for instance. be accomplish through steam. If the Introduction of steam is made during full red heat. then small graphite crystals are found fin the resulting crust of lime; if the steam Is introduced during a low red heat, no graphite is formed but number of microscopial crystals are formed the properties of which are entirely indentical with those of natural diamonds. These experiments, which may be continued. strengthen | the belief that 1t may be possible, some day, to produce in the laboratory of the chemist diamonds of sufficient size and perfection to compete with natural diamonds.
 These experiments furnish a new theory with reference to the probable origin of natural diamonds, which may not have been under an excessively | high temperature, but from peculiar specialization from yet unknown | SOlVenLp DeTIdpS hl6H The artificial diamonds obtained by
 Doctor Burton are pronounced to be
 the finest so far observed, because
 they possess an unusually high pow
 CT of refraction.
 Sir William Brookes. in a lecture de- liyered at Kimberly, before the Brit ish Association, called attention to peculiarlty of diamonds namely, that | they are especially transparent for K rays. while imitation diamonds hardly l let these rays pass through, and he de-
 clared that this furnished an excellent
 means of distinguishing genuine from imitation diamonds.

Rolled Handa.

By Margaret Sangster. Pale. withered hands, that more than
 four-score years Had wrought for others; soothed the
 hurt of tears; Rocked childrens cradles. eased the
 fever's smart, Dropped balm of love in many an ach-
 ing heart; Now, stirless folded, like wan rose
 leaves pressed, Above the snow and silence of her
 breast; Tr mute appeal they tcld of Iabors done. And wsll-earned rest that came at set
 of sun. From the worn brow the lines of care
 had swept, As if an angeFs kiss, the while she slept Had smoothed the cobweb wrinkles
 quite away. And given back the peace of child
 hoods day; And on the lips the faint smile almost
 sail: None know life's secret but the happy
 dead" So gazing where she lay we knew that
 pain Ard parting could not leave her soul
 again.
