Carat"

This term was derived from the name
of the seeds from the Abyssinian cora
flower or coral tree. These, "Kn is in
formed, were very small and very equal in
size, and were formerly used in weigh
ing gold and precious stones. Hence,
carat has become the name of the weight
used by jewellers for weighing precious
stones, and the word is also used to in
dictate the proportion of pure gold pre-
sent in any alloy of that metal. As q
weight fordiamonds, the carat represents
3 1-G Troy grains, and is divided into
fourths Tor carat grains), as well as into
cighths, siytcenths, thirty-scconds and
sixty-fourths. In regard to gold, the
word carat represents no absolute weight,
but only ratio or proportion. Gold is
never used for coinage, jcwcIry, ETC., in
a pure state; it is alleged with coarscr
metal, sometimes with copper and silver,
and sometimes with copper alone, for
the purpose of working, and to secure
the necessary hardness. To indicate the
proportion of pure gold in any metal
thus alleged, the metal is divided into
twenty-four parts or carats; twcnty-four
carats meaning pure gold, and any less
number of carats meaning the fraction
or proportion of gold to be found in the
alloy. Sterling gold 0hc gold of British
coinagc) contains twenty-five parts of
gold and two parts of alloy; it is there
fore said to be twenty-five carats fine"
or "22-car gold" The lower stand
ard, used for watch cases, jcwclry etc.,
contains eighteen parts of gold and
six parts of alloy; it is therefore called
1S-carat gold" But much larger pro-
portion of alloy is often introduced into
gold represented as Standards" thus We
have fifteen, twelve and even 0-carat
gold. Cultipator.
