Wakes DIAMONDS ON
DAME NATURES PLAN

London. Dec. 20.-Professor Moissan
the eminent Paris chemist, explains his
method of making real diamonds. He
says he takes absolutely pure iron from
sulphur, silicon and phosphorus, packs
it in a carbon crucible with pure char
coal obtained from sugar.
This is heated in an electric furnace,
the invention of which alone makes
possible the production of the pure gem.
The furnace heats the crucible to
above 1000 Fahrenheit. at which tenn
perature the iron melts like wax and
saturates itself in the carbon. The
crucible is then lifted out and plunged
into cold water. The sudden cooling
solidities the outer skin, While the iron
lin the center is still liquid.
The process of solidi6cation eXerts
a tremendous pressure on this central
mass, and the result is that the car
bon which was soaked up is queezed
out like water from sponge and cryS-
talliZeS into diamonds.
