All very pretty, but purely Bctional. As a matter of fact, the Culliana diamond bas rested at Scotland Yard since the King's birthday on November 9, and rests there still, in a safe that is guarded night and day by the most trasied detectives, and bears the seal of the Transvaal Colony, So far as is known there is no im. medias intention of removing it, for the ar rangements for the diamond to be cut are by an means yet complete.

No wonder, under these circumstances, bat the veracious Hague correspondent added to his telegram the statement that the secret as to which factory has been entrusted with the cutting of the stone has been carefully -guarded."

The question at issue is: Did Lemoine use trickery in the couse of his experiments? It appears certain that ha deposited in the furnace a crucible containing only chemical products, According to the testimony of 'persons who were present at the experiment, Lemoine must be endowed with marvellous sleight-of-head if there was any substitution of crucibles.

But the magistrates who are inquiring into furnace might have been fitted with a these cases are inclined to think that the

AN BARLIER CLAIM.

On the supposition that Lemoine is guilty! of trickery this latter explanation appears plausible, but certain magistrates argue that immediately after his arrest Lemoine caused, bis electric furnaces in the Rue la Courbe to be broken up. Already soma years ago Lemoine claimed to be able to manufacture diamonds which proved to be powder of bourt, which is used for cutting diamonds and for diamonds as applied to in- dustrial purposes. Lemoine appears, only to have confided his discovery to people in France, telling them that he had made his experiments in a laboratory in London.

Here again the question arisen:. Was this diamond powder manufactured by Lemoine or did he procure it from the Caps for the purpose of showing it in London and Paris ?
