Two Ways of Making Diamonds.


There are several methods. Moissan
of Paris dissolves carbon in molten steel
at an enormous temperature and pressure
and then suddenly chlls the mass, which
reveals microscopic diamonds, also dia-
mond dust in more or less abundance.
Artificial diamonds are not infrequent-
~ formed by accident in ordinary cast
iron and it is more than likely that an
examination of the residue of ordinary
iron castings would result in the discov-
cry of many of these gems.
Il lately discovered some artificial dia-
monds in a peculiar manner. | was
machining the fragment of an old sugar
kettle which developed exceptional hard
ness and when | dissolved fragment it
yielded two minute diamonds. Rossel
OF Germany has treated ordinary steel
for diamonds and has secured several
transparent crystal fragments. together
with quite "a number of minute. Well
formed eiGht-faced crystals-the charac-
teristic form of the diamond crystal.
These have been indisputably proved 10
he diamonds. He has carried on a num-
Der of Investigations along this line. and
has found that hard steels produced I'M
der high temperatures and cooled under
great pressures usually yield diamonds;
also that unhammered and unroled mild
steels yield well formed, eight-faced
crystals of this class. The higher the
temperature at which the steel is made
the greater is the quantity of the dla-
monds formed.
Another German methGd yielding even
better results is to melt olivin, or chryso-
