WORLD'S DIAMONDS.
Satire Supply Hardly More Than a
Wagon Load.
If all the diamonds mined in history
and existing today as cut and
polished gems were gathered from
the ends of the earth, they would
hardly form a pile about as large as a
wagon of coal dumped on the sidewalk,
says a Chicago statistican expert.
The pile would contain 43,155,474
carats and the gems would
weigh tend and one-half tons. If the
pile were in the form of a cone, it
would have a base diameter of eight
feet and a height of five feet. Reckoning
the diamonds at $300 a carat,
it would have a value of $13,906,142,200.
It would contain 710 1-3
gallons worth $5,529,023 a gallon;
r 76 1-3 bushels valued at $51,570,729
a bushel. All the world's d'amonds
could be packed in an ordinary
clothes closet or a kitchen pantry.
This estimate is based on an approximation
of the total output of
rough diamonds in the world's entire
fcistory. India, it is estimated, has
v produced, all told, 50,000,000 carats;
Brazil 15,000,000; South Africa 170,?74;
Borneo 1,000,000; British Guinea
50,000; Australia 15,000; China
2,000; Siberia 500; United Stdtes
?00. This is a total output of 236,777,374
carats or 55 3-5 tons avoidupois.
Only about 50 percent, of rough
iiamonds are cut into gems and lose
about 60 per ceht. of their weight in
being cut and pol'shed. Diamonds
are yractically indestructible and the
ret diamond ever mined may possibly
still be in existence. But the estimate
allows for the loss of at least
1,000,000 carats by flood, fire, shipwreck
and otber disaster. These refactions
and losses leave a total of
at and polished diamonds at 46,3'6,473
carats.
The estimate of $300 a carat is the
Minimum price at which diamonds
an be bought today. The popular
demand for diamonds was never so
great and they have become the gem
f working people as well as the
wealthy classes. yhey are worth
three times as much now as before
the war and sell at from $300 to
$1,000 a carat.
