Swine Inventor Discovers Process for Making Diamonds
The article reports that E Moyat claims a method to produce larger diamonds by crystallizing carbon from iron and coal under high pressure and electric arc. Pulverized coal and iron chips in a sealed steel tube with liquid carbonic acid create enormous pressure, dissolving coal in liquid iron and forming diamonds that are later separated by acid.

Heat photography and substances sensitive to radiant heat
Radiant heat from a heated body can decompose certain compounds, enabling photographic effects. Substances such as cupric bromide papers, copper sulfate with potassium bromide, bichromated papers, plain copper sulfate, and chlorate of copper show color changes or develop images under radiant heat. Silver nitrate images deepen with hydroxyquinone or gallic acid, and bromide tin behaves like light exposure, darkening unexposed parts after nitrate treatment.
