Turned Out by Nature

London Dec 1 When the De Doersmines in South Africa are exhaustedwhich will be according to the manage-ment in about eleven years and othersources of natural diamonds are alsoused up diamond lovers will still be ableto Indulge in the purchase of real gemsartificially produced

These have nothing In common wlitbthe familiar artificial diamonds Tsr sriproduced by a mechanical process whichreproduces as nearly as possible the condfttons under which they are crystallizedIn earth Prof Moissan the eminentParis chemist hug explained his methodof making real diamonds in Ms labora-tory

He takas absolutely pore iron freedfrom sulphur silicon and phospkomspacks it in a carbon crucible with purecharcoal obtained from augur Tfcfc te-

eated in an electric ffirmiee Uw ftfreadon of which alone makes possible theproduction of the purl gem

The furnace heats the crucible above70M Fahrenheit at which temperaturethe iron melts like wax and saturates Itself In the carbon The crucible is thenlifted out and plunged into cold water

The sudden cooling solidifies the outerskin while the iron in the center Is sunliquid The process of solidification ex-erts a tremendous pressure on this cen-tral mass and the result k that the carbon which was soaked up and sqtteoaeilout like water from a sponge crystallizes Into diamonds
