How to Make Diamonds

Sir william Crookes in the course Of
lecture on Diamonds" before the British
association at Kimberley. South Africa
recently explained to the assembled COM
pany how the precious gems might be
manufactured.
'"The FIRST necessity" he said. lis TO
select pure iron free from sulphur, silicon,
phosphorus. etc, and TO pack It in a carbon
CruCible with pure charcoal from sugar.
The crucibe must then be put into the
body of the electric furnace. After few
minutes heating to a temperature above
1000 degrees centigrade, a temperature at
which the iron melts like wax and volati-
Lies in clouds, the current is stopped and
the dazzling, fiery crucble is plunged be-
meath the surface Of cold water, where II
is held till It sinks below red heat.
1.-THE sudden cooling solidihes the outer
layer Of iron and holds the inner molten
mass in a tight grip. The expansion Of the
inner liquid on soHdlfying produces an
enormous pressure and under the stress
of this pressure the dissolved carbon sepa-
rates into transparent forms-minutely
microscopic, II Is true. but all the same
veritabe diamonds, with crystalline form
and appearance, color, hardness and action
on light the same as the natural gem"
Attention was called to the suggestion
that the diamond is a gift from heaven
conveyed to earth In meteorio showers.
According to this hypothesis. said the lee
turer, holes were bored In the earth by
the impact OF monstrous meteors. the larger
masses boring the holes, while the smaller
masses, disintegrating in their fall, dis
tributed diamonds broadcast
Bizarre as such theory is" observed
the great scientist, IT am bound to say
there are many circumstances which show
that the notion of the heavens raining
diamonds is not impossible" In proof of
this he showed the audience photographs
of diamonds he had extracted from a
meteorite.
The lecture abounded in interesting pas
sages. Here is one:
1T is not uncommon for a diamond TO
explode soon after it reaches the surface.
Some have been known to burst in the
pockets Of the miners or when held in the
warm hand. and the loss is the greater
because large stones are more liable to
explode or fly in pieces than small ones.
valuable stones have been destroyed in
this way and it is whispered that cunning
dealers are not averse to allowing RESPONSE
BILE clients to handle or carry in their warm
pockets large crystals fresh from the mine.
BY way of safeguard against explosion
some dealers imbed large diamonds in raw
potatoes to insure safe transit to England.
By the end of 1904 ten tons of diamonds
had come from the Kimberley mines,
valued at $500, 100000. This mass of gems
could be accommodated in a box five feet
square and six feet high.
According to the lecturer, one of the most
remarkable gems in existence is a phos.

been "Zira," presented by Margaret AngiiI
