DIAMONDS.
interesting Experiments W,h Then

Interesting Experiments W,.h Them.
" Y Times.
Some very interes.in. and important ex-
periments with diamonds have lately been
made at the Paris Academy Of Sciences.
An experienced diamond merchant bought
not long ago, a fine white diamond for
$4,000. Oae morning he gave it a good
washing with soap and water, when what
was his CONSERVATION to find that it had
turned yellow, which cent its value down
10 $500. The matter was brought to the
attention OF the academy, and experts
submitted a report, which showed that
diamond whitening is fraud easy to ac-
comp!ish and as easy to detect. By
plunging 4 yellow diamond into an aniline
violet dye it becomes white, while at the
same time it loses neither it's transparency
nor brilliancy. In fact, on making the ex:
pertinent, the experts had in few minutes
transformed several yellow stones into
what appeared magnificent white stones
Of fivefold value. Take a yellow diamond
dip it even into no stronger dye than viO-
let ink, wash it with water to remove any
discOloratioD, and the effect is immediate.
The dried diamond remains white. But,
OF the other hand, the illusion is Of short
duration. Rub tho stone even lightly and
the yellow tint is seen coming back again,
and a little further attritiOn with the
finger restores the pristine hue complete
". This discovery may entail upon many
persons rude awakening to the fact that
the stones they have are of far less value
than they supposed, and will necessitate
even greater care than that hitherto ex-
ercised in purchasing. Douglas Jerrold
once raised the question whether any pos
session really repaid its pessessor which,
cntailed anxiety OF mind, and diamonds,
in one way or another, entail go much
that there arc many to whom tho great
value set upon them becomes almost in
comprehensive.
