DIAMONDS,
An article has been going the rounds
the prem, copied from a French paper,
: the
rh and retain light. According to this
wie, it appears that a pontleman hav-
ing a large diamond subjected it to the
sun's rays for an hour, and afterwards
to a dark room, where it
emitted sufficient light to render a piece
{of white paper visible. The tradition of
ithis power of the diamond is very old
and has been worked into romance, 1
(think, by Bulwer. This article reminds
me of an experiment of which I was an
eye witness, some twenty-five years ago.
Capt. Samuel Dewey, formerly well
(known as the man who decapitated the
{figure of Gen. Jackson on the frigate
Constitution, while lying in Boston Har.
{bor, called upon me one day, and, allud-
{mg to the tradition, said he had in his
{possession a very large dismond and
{would like to try the experiment. The
(eity had a short time before introduced
the fire-alarm telegraph, and we obtained
| permission to use their battery to obtain
the desired light, which was done by
placing the ends of two wires near to-
gether and running a continned stream
of electricity from ome to the other, Ao-
jcordingly one eveming we repaired to
‘the office of the telegraph company, and

perfectly dark, but the diamond had
{become quite luminous and emitted light
for some ten or fifteen minutes, when it
‘gradaally faded from sight. I have never
been ables to obtain any satisfactory ex-
planation of this phenomenon, but should
be very glad to hear a scientific reason
for it.
