lemoins's Diamond Formula.

lemoins's Diamond Formula.
Discussion still continues In Euro
pean papers concerning the case OF
NJ. Lemoine. the alleged diamond
maker Of Paris, whom Sir julius Wern-
her of the De Beers Mining company
recently prosecuted on the charge OF
swindling him out of 100000 in con-
nection with the financing Of COM
pany to exploit Lemoine's artificial dia-
mond formula. Since Lemoine's arrest
1t has come out that he did not con-
fine his operations to Wernher, but
sold half interest in his secret to one
Edgar Cohen, London capitalist, who
has made public the formula attached
to the contract drawn ut the time OF
his investment. The main points of
this formula are the heating of a mix
ture Of iron, thirty parts; boron, fifty
five parts, and animal charcoal, fifteen
parts, In an electrical furnace heated
to temperature Of 1000 degrees. A
current of carbonic acid gas is turned
on at the same time to drive out the
oxygen. Diamond makers and chem.
fists appear to be skeptical about the
ueuuineness Of this formula.
