The First Element of a Homo.

These elements about US, the gorgeous sky,

we not value these tools of housekeeping O
little more than they are worth, and some

Many people, especially those who
make a habit of noting such things,
have been puzzled to understand why
the diamonds worn in earrings by ladies
nowadays maintain such a ceaseless
quivering motion. 1t makes no differ
nee that the head of the wearer is in
perfect repose or that she is even speech
less and therefore exerting no muscle Of
face or feature. The ceaseless twinkle
of the diamond goes on, enhancing
greatly the flashing beauty of the gem.
l was curious enough to try to solve the
mystery of what seemed a very close
approximation to perpetual motion, and
l asked a jeweler the secret. He told
me it lay in the setting OF the diamond,
and that the method was n patented
device. The patentee was reaping q
royalty of $50 apiece from every manu-
featuring jeweler to whom ne sold the
privilege of using it.
