Making Diamonds and Child Labor in Japan Reported
An Italian chemist Majorna develops diamond formation by tiny heat and extreme pressure using an electric arc and piston impact, differing from Moissan who used iron solvent. A Toronto observer notes Japan limits child labor, with adults’ hours set by agreement and strict child rules. The Victoria Bridge in Montreal, initially the Victoria tubular bridge, was renamed to honor Queen Victoria's diamond jubilee and remains popularly known as the Victoria bridge.
