Odd Frauds In Diamonds.
RoGUEs WHO CAN PAINT THE LILY AND
GID REFIEED GOLD.


Not many weeks ago a man came into
the shop of well-known Fast Side pawn
broker In New York and exhibited a pair
Of surerb eight-carat diamond earrings.
They were large and looked like twelve
carat gems. The man asked loan OF
81 500 upon them. Long and carefully
the pawnbroker examined the gems. His
covetous eyes sparkled. He concluded
that the stones were genuine blue-white
diamonds, which are as rare as they are
beautiful. They bring from $50 to $500
q carat. Tiffany & Co. had one while
ago for which they refused $1,000 carat.
But the brokers' admiration did not get
the better of his business instincts. He
declined to loan more than $500 upon the
earrings. This the customer promptly
and positively refused. After q long ar
gument the contracting parties compro-
missed upon $3.50.
As soon as the customer left the shop
the broker ordered his clerk (who was
out of sight during the negotiations) to
follow the man and buy the ticket at any
price. The clerk obeyed, and after some
dickering the victim exchanged the ticket
for $50. Wild with delight. the broker
fastened to wash and polish his treasures.
But when he took them from the water a
cry of astonishment escaped him. The
blue-white lustre was gone. and, to his
surprise and anger, the shrewd expert
found that he had paid high price for
ordinary green yellow diamonds, worth at
the most $40 carat. The stones were
painted.
There are five men in New York paint
ing diamonds" said Detective Britton.
do you know how it is done ? Look here. -"
Mr.. Britton drew from his pocket a small
package, which he carefully opened. 1t
contained. perhaps, tablespoonful OF a
very dark red powder. This is a very
simple and familiar article" he said, and
can be bought for ~ pound, and that
amount will paint all the diamonds in
christendom. This little bottle. as
YOU see, contains colorless fluid.
also well known and cheap. Now,
we will put tiny grain of the powder
upon this plate and then pour on few
drops OF the fluid. Then we will mix the
two and we have a rich. dark-fed liquid.
Very we'll. Examine this stone.'
The detective took ring from his fin
ger The stone was alarge diamond with
yellow greenish cast. With a little
camel's-hair brush he gently painted the
under side of the gem with the red fluid.
In twinkling the greenish tint disap-
peared and the stone glowed with the
peerless tihts of first-water diamond.
MFR. Britton then painted the stone COM
pletelv. 1t took at first blood-red hue,
which. after little rubbing with wooden
cloth. changed to deep. dark. beautiful
blue. Held at arms length the gem
flashed and scintillated like spark OF
electricity. There" exclaimed Mr.. Brit
ton. "that is not bad sapphire. A real
sapphire Of that size would be worth more
than diamond. Experts as well ~ buy
ers have been fooled by this process. A
broker in this city told me yesterday that
he lost 90, 500 by it."

after the overthrow of the commune
about 20. 900 of the most reckless char

being conducted IN the suburbs, whole
companies of gendarmes and policemen
being sent out against them with fire.
