Origin Of South African Diamonds.

From Harper'0 Weekly.
One OF the most interesting papers pre-
sented at the South African meeting Of tho
British Association for the Advancement
Of Science discussed tho diamond pipes
and assures Of that region. and accounted
for the formation and occurrence OF these
gems. The demonstrating pipes or
veins. in Orange River Colony, Cape Coll
ony and Pretoria are all contemporaneous
In their geological origin. belong to
the late Triassic or Jurasstc period. This
formation Includes the latest eruptive
rocks Of South Africa. and, the blue ground
contained in the pipes has resulted from
the shAttering Of ultra-basic rocks. In
these rocks garnet. Divine and pyroXene
occur. a as diamond has been found
c~rystaliized with these minerals, It IL in
ferred that the latter must have origin
Ated In the same ultra-bastc zone.
This theory 10 quite at variance with
that of Moisson and Sir William Crookes,
who claim that iron Is necessary for tho
formation Of diamond crystals. and have
used 1t in their production OF the artif-
ella crystals by intense heat and prossurea.
Iron. however. 10 not ound In these dia-
mond mines. and, furthermore, II has been
shown that diamonds can be formed in
Divine without the great pressures and in.
tense heats which b chemists mentioned
have deemed essential. If this new the
DRY holds good It would seem that By a
proper study OF geological conditions IL
would be possible to md ground in which
IL would be reasonable to expect diamond
crystals.

What 10 che Northwest P~assass7
From Review OF Rauews.

northwest passage may b~
briefly, explained. The long coasts OF
tho mainland are mo- c,ogged. like those
on many other polar shores. with ice.
bergs or glaciers or thick sea ice. The
coast u low. the tundra behind 1t 1.
only . little higher than tho sea, and
conditions are not favorable fora the
formation and now Of glaciers. Flee
bergs. therefore, are no found. be.
cause In the Arctic they are merely
the broken-on ends Of glaciers.
But from thirty to forty miles north
Of Point Barrow. III most northern
point OF the continent. stretches the
great barrier OF sea ice, with hum
mocks and ridges thrust. by pressure,
from twenty to nifty feet above the gem
eral level. 80 nat when McClure's In
vestigator got into the heavy foe the
Ice sometimes rose o her as high
as the yardarnls. As no islands inter
vere for hundreds OF miles east Of Ber-
Ing sea to protect the coast from the
polar pack. why is 1t that this heavy
Ice Is not forced down upon the shores?
1t is because the coastal waters are
comparatively shallow and the sea ice
grounds miles away: and farther east
the coasts OF the mainland are pro-
tected from the sea ice. not only by
shallow water. but also by the islands
that extend alrnost continuously from
Banks Land to the Atlantic end OF Hud-
son Strait.
SO the ice along the coast is OF the
winters formation. mi in summer it
disappears entirely or is so narrowed
by melting as to leave channels of
greater or less width that are navig-
able for two or three months. The fact
is. as Lieutenant Wheeler. Of our rev.
enIe cutter service recently said. this
northwest passage has been made time
and time again by the overlapping of
the track of vessels between the At
lantic and the Pacific. San Francisco
whalers have already pushed far east
ward beyond the Mackenzie delta and
the mouth OF the Coppermine river.
Collinson. during the Franklin search,
took his vessel eastward through these
channels almost to the very waters
from which the GJoa started last sum,
mer. and a short sledge Journey farther
east brought him within sight Of King
William Land. but he little dreamed
that the bodies OF many Of the men
he was seeking were scattered along its
shores.
In time this route may be Of some I'm
p~ortance. Mineral have been
found along the northern edge OF Cam
ada. and some day they will be de-
veloped. This water route IL by no
means ideal. but. to some extent, It will
facilitate the. operations Of miners and!
vhalers:
