Then, thought I, such a stone could scarcely exist without being mentioned in every book on gems, and again I called to mind the stories of contraband and light-fingered Kaffirs at the Cape. I put the question of purchase on one side. "How did you get it?" said I. "I made it." I had heard something of Moissan, but I knew his artificial diamonds were very small. I shook my head.
"Your name has been repeated to me so often that I almost feel as if I knew you." Mr. Czenki bowed without speaking. "I am assuming that this is the Mr. Czenki who was associated with Mr. Barnato and Mr. Zeidt?" the young man went on. "That is correct, yes," replied the expert. "And I believe, too, that you once did some special work for Professor Henri Moissan in Paris?" Mr.
"It cannot be, surely it cannot be," said Professor Moissan at length. "But it is," said another member of the party. "Are these diamonds?" asked a third. "I cannot yet tell," replied the Professor. "They have the brilliancy of diamonds, but they may be something else." "Moon jewels," suggested a third. "And worth untold millions, whatever they are," remarked another.
The supplies of water which we brought from the earth, owing to a peculiar process invented by Monsieur Moissan, had been kept in exceedingly good condition, but they were now running low and it became necessary to replenish them also.
You may remember that when I first met Mr. Wynne he inquired if I had not done some special work for Professor Moissan. I had; I tested the diamonds he made and they were diamonds! I dare say the suggestion Mr. Wynne conveyed to me by that question that is, the suggestion of manufactured diamonds had been carefully planned, for he is a wonderful young man, Mr. Wynne a wonderful young man."
"It must be a powerful medicine," said one of the bystanders. "I wonder what it is?" "I will explain to you my notion," said Professor Moissan, the great French chemist. "I think it was a pill of the air, which he has taken." "What do you mean by that?" "My meaning is," said Professor Moissan, "that the Martian must have, for that he may live, the nitrogen and the oxygen.
Our prisoner was transported along with us, and we now began our attempts to ascertain what his language was, and, if possible, to master it ourselves. Before quitting the asteroid we had found that it was necessary for him to swallow one of his "air pills," as Prof. Moissan called them, at least three times in the course of every twenty-four hours.
The supplies of water which we brought from the earth, owing to a peculiar process invented by Monsieur Moissan, had been kept in exceedingly good condition, but they were now running low and it became necessary to replenish them also.
With an effort he repressed the returning excitement which found vent in a rising voice and quick, nervous gestures of the hands. After a moment he went on: "Half a score of scientists have made diamonds, minute particles no larger than the point of a pin. Professor Henri Moissan, of Paris, went further, and by use of an electric furnace produced diamonds as large as a pinhead.
"It must be a powerful medicine," said one of the bystanders. "I wonder what it is." "I will explain to you my notion," said Professor Moissan, the great French chemist. "I think it was a pill of the air, which he has taken." "What do you mean by that?" Artificial Atmosphere.
