PASTE DIAMONDS.
Why Imitation Gems Are so Frequently
Worn by Persons OF Means

Worn by Persons OF Means
A reporter recently asked aMaiden
Lane diamond merchant. pointing to a
pendant in the window:
do you mean 10 say those are not
diamondsPn
mo more diamonds than they are
eggs. Simply exceedingly fine speci-
mems OF French paste, which is the
best imitation of the diamond yet dis
covered, was the reply.
What is French pastep'"
1T is peculiar kind of glass. per-
fected in Paris by Donault-Wieland. Its
basis is finely powdered rock crystal
melted with other minerals.
care these limitations as brilliant and
expensive as the doublets-the gems
mads by imposing a thin face Of real
diamond on backing of rock crystalP"
"1hey are more brilliant and cost
less In proportion to size much less;
but the doublets are by far the most
durable"
what other gems are initiated as
successfully as the diamond?"
"Rubies and sapphires even more so.
The limitations of them actually pbssess
the same chemical composition as the
real stones. Theg so made are ex-
pensive, but much less so than the real
stones, and are very hard, with fine
luster and excellent color, if the pro-
portions OF the material are exactly
right Emeralds, topazes, garnets and
various other more or less valuable
gems, are all we'll initiated in glass
colored with different silicates and OK
ides. Sham pearls are also. so we'll
made that, when properly set, they can
not be distinguished from genuine ones.
They are simply beads OF clear glass,
coated inside with a lustrous solution
obtained from the scales OF some small
fishes-bleal5 and dace, / think the
fishes are called. 1t takes the scales OF
40, 900 OF the fishes to make two pounds
OF the solution, which is called Essence
d Orient The imitation pearls are
more durable than the real ones, which
are liable to he injured by perspiration
or various other incidents of wear.
'Reverting to that French paste; are
there many Of that sort OF diamonds
sold in this country"
"a great many. Reputable dealers
sell them for what they are, and their
price for fine ones such as these-is
sufficiently high to keep them from be-
ing offered as cheap stuff to the masses,
yet great numbers are worn"
'Why do persons of means invest in
bogus gemsP'
care to keep locked up in mere orna-
ment the large amount OF money that
would be required to purchase diamonds
in such size and number as society
might expect him or her to have, so a
few really fine stones are purchased for
habitual wear, to challenge criticism,
and brilliant array Of French pastes'
is provid d for show upon occasions
when big display is expected and there
will be no danger Of close critical in
spection.
HAS anybody had yet the bright
idea of starting the manufacture o.
French paste diamonds here as one Of
our industrlosp"
mo. The French stand first in it,
and the Germans are rather poor sec.
ond, but we are nowhere. The situa
ton may be different, however, in the
course of the next four years"-N. Y.

In the United States Circuit Court for the

against Arnold Theller and Cornell Theller,

that, although the defendants made use Of
their own names on the labels affixed to the
bottles containing bitters prepared by them,
yet as they were evidently designed to imi-
tate the Hostetter labels, they were in
.fringers, and perpetual injunction was
granted and an accounting Of damages or

1t is the evident intention Of the Hostetter

ugly wounds. Another officer of the

cheer by alighting from his horse and
giving his place IA the saddle to limp

side did the same thing there was no
response. The first had performed
kindness without prompting while the
second was mere imitator. It was BY
such distinctions that officers were
notified of the sharp watch that was being
kept upon them, and admonished that
they were mortal as we'll as those who
wore no sholder straps, Now and then
the instruction took more amusing turn
as when a captain, noted for his oonoeit,

One of the best descriptions or i. com
mon natural phenomenon Is that recently
given by M. HIrn, In which he says that
the sound which i known as thunder is
due simply 20 the fact that the air ira.
versed by an electric spark-that is a
fash of lightniIg-is suddenly raised 10
a very high temperature ana nag its vol
ume, moreover, considerably increased.
The column OF gas suddenly heated and
expanded Is sometimes several miles
long, and, "a the duration of the haeh is
not even a millionth of second, It TO-
lows that the noise bursts at once from
the whole COLUMN, though for an obser
yer in any one place it oOmmencea when
the lightning Is at the least distance. In
precise terms, according to Mr.. Hrn,
the beginning of the thunder clap gives
us the minimum distance of the light.
ming, and the length of the thunder
clap gives the length of the column. He
also remarks that when a fash of light
ming strikes the ground it is not neces
sarily from the place struck that the first
noise is heard. Again, he points out
that bullet whistles in trayersiug the
air, so that We can to q
certain extent, follow its flight, the same
thing happens with falling meteorite
just before striking the earth. The noise
actually heard has been compared TO the
sound produced when one tears linen.
1t is due really to the fact that the air
rapidly pushed on one side in front of
the projeotile, whether bullet or meteorite,
quickly ruskes back to fiji the vacuum
left in the rear.
