Great Hoaxes of History
Speaking Of Explorer Cook, a French Knave Once
Took In the King of Diamonds

Wernher, the London diamond
king" Sir julius hurried across the
channel to prevent the threatened
flood of Lemo.ne diamonds.
Lemoine was willing to impart
his wonderful formula guaran-
teed to produce diamonds that
would make the Kohinoor look like
a brickbat, provided, of course, the
diamond magnates came across"
with enough money, and this they
did to the tune of $350,000.
Lemoine placed his formula" in
an envelope in a London bank. Sir
Julius grew suspicious and had the
diamond maker arrested. When his
formula" was read in court in the
summer of 1908 the learned chem
lists and experts on gems who heard
it went into shrieks of laughter. 1t
had been copied from a child's
textbook: All Europe en-
joyed the joke immensely; the
knave of diamonds had taken in

violated not only the rules of Hoyle,
