It is a fact that the diamonds were there, for they have been discovered and sold; and that they were carried down there during the drift period, from some northern locality. IT IS A FACT THAT DIAMONDS WERE THERE FOR THEY HAVE BEEN DISCOVERED AND SOLD AND THEY WERE CARRIED DOWN THERE DURING THE DRIFT PERIOD FROM SOME NORTHERN LOCALITY
aps do such an audience as that more good than I can do grown-up people, yet I will do the best I can with the material I have. I say to you that you have “acres of diamonds” in Philadelphia right where you now live. “Oh,” but you will say, “you cannot know much about your city if you think there are any ‘acres of diamonds’ here.” I was greatly interested in that account in the newspaper of the young man who found that diamond in North Carolina. It was one of the purest diamonds that has ever been discovered, and it has several predecessors near the same locality. I went to a distinguished professor in mineralogy and asked him where he thought those diamonds came from. The professor secured the map of the geologic formations of our continent, and traced it. He said it went either through the underlying carboniferous strata adapted for such production, westward through Ohio and the Mississippi, or in more probability came eastward through Virginia and up the shore of the Atlantic Ocean. S WE HAVE AND WHILE I COULD PERHAPS DO SUCH AN AUDIENCE AS THAT MORE GOOD THAN I CAN DO GROWN UP PEOPLE YET I WILL DO MY BEST I CAN WITH THE MATERIAL I HAVE I SAY TO YOU THAT YOU HAVE ACRES OF DIAMONDS IN PHILADELPHIA RIGHT WHERE YOU NOW LIVE OH BUT YOU WILL SAY YOU CANNOT KNOW MUCH ABOUT OUR CITY IF YOU THINK THERE ARE ANY ACRES OF DIAMONDS HERE I WAS GREATLY INTERESTED IN THAT ACCOUNT IN THE NEWSPAPER OF A YOUNG MAN WHO FOUND THAT DIAMOND IN NORTH CAROLINA WAS ONE OF THE PUREST DIAMONDS THAT HAS EVER BEEN DISCOVERED AND IT HAS SEVERAL PREDECESSORS NEAR THE SAME LOCALITY I WENT TO A DISTINGUISHED PROFESSOR IN MINERALOGY AND ASKED HIM WHERE HE THOUGHT THOSE DIAMONDS CAME FROM THE PROFESSOR SECURED A MAP OF THE GEOLOGIC FORMATIONS OF OUR CONTINENT AND TRACED IT HE SAID IT EITHER WENT THROUGH THE UNDERLYING CARBONIFEROUS STRATA ADAPTED FOR SUCH PRODUCTION WESTWARD THROUGH OHIO AND THE MISSISSIPPI OR IN MORE PROBABILITY CAME EASTWARD THROUGH VIRGINIA AND UP THE SHORE OF THE ATLANTIC OCEAN
