The Diamond.


Diamond" in the North American Re
view" Sir William Crookes refers to
the theory advanced by some scientists
that the diamond is a gift from heaven
conveyed TO earth in meteovic showers
and he confesses that the theory is not
without support. His description o.:
the Kimberley diamond mines is inter
esting. The writer says
MANY circumstances point to the
conclusion that the diamond Of the
chemist and the diamond of the mine
are strangely akin as to origin. 1t IS
evident that the diamond has not been
formed in stu in the blue ground
where it is found. The genesis must
have taken place at vast depths under
enormous pressure. The explosion OF
large diamonds on coming to the sur
face shows extreme tension. More da-
monds are found in fragments and
splinters than in perfect crystals, and
1t is noteworthy that. although these
splinters and fragments must be de-
rived from the breaking up OF a large
crystal. yet in only one instance have
pieces Decu lOuuu NuICH cOulu pe utled
together, and these occurred at differ
ent levels. Does not this fact point to
the conclusion that the blue ground IS
not their true matriX3 Nature does not
make fragments OF crystals. AS the
edges of the crystal is are still sharp and
unabraded. the locus of formation can
not have been very distant from the
present sites There were probsbly
many sites of capitalization differing
in place and time or we should not see
such distinctive characters in the gems
from different mines nor indeed in da-
monds from different parts of the same
mine"

into general use. In length OF season
Il is the earliest of the three and con.

house decorations this year the manu-

produce green that will not fade.
So far all wall papers and draperies

color, for It has to be renewed every
