Th diamond wa placed on a carbuin
dum wheel and made a deep Impression on
the wheel, Th diamond wa not even
marked. It has sngraved names on th
heaviest plate glass and Is without an
exception a diamond. It Is not a perfect
stone, being flecked with carbon, but
where this one came from there are prob
ably others. Friends of Bellamy think th
stone was found near th river banks, but
theyxan get nothing out of him. The
diamond has been viewed by many people
In th Uiiffee window and much comment
has been heard from these people.
