Curiosities in the Way of Precious Gems
Placed on Exhibition.
In the big sh0w-window of a Maden-lane
jewelry-store rested last week a small tray
that gathered crowd Of curious spectators
TO the window. Every time the sunlight
played upon the plate glass the tray cor
ruscated with prismatic hues of dazzling
brilliancy. The tray is we'll known to the
trade. 1t is designed TO display the re-
markable variations of the color of large
African mine diamonds, and contains ex-
amples of all the colors known. 1t possesses
great interest for novices in gems, and the
jeweer is called upon half dozen times a
day to explain the beauties of the specimens.
ut took long time to get this collection
together" the jeweler said, land it is the
only one in the town of the kind thus ar
ranged. You see here the brown diamond,
the absnthe. the canary or yellow gem, the
pink, the rose and the coffee and the green
diamond. The effect of these combinations
In the sunlight is enhancing Each pre-
dominant hue seems to impart a distinct
luster to the prismatic scintiliations When

blaze Of rainbow colors. These gems also
illustrate the different cutting of the dia-
monds. Were they all set in bracelet or a
brooch or necklace they would make a
rarely beautiful trinket, but it would cost a
heap Of money"
The jeweler picked out one sparkler with
pair OF diamond tweezers, and h cid it for
ward in the .showwindow. This is a

is only one other in the world, 10 Paris, and
the French one Is not as pure or as large as

trifie less than four carats. Its beauty lies
in the fact that it changes its color in differ

In sharp contrast to the stately old Con-

new war vessels that are fast taking the

now building at Cramps ship-yard, Phila-
delphia, vessels which, says the Record, will

10th last there was work on hand to the
amount of 81, 600, but since that time
the Government has awarded the contract
to the Cramps for building Cruiser No. ID

FELL INTO A BOILING VAT.

a WorEmRn's Terrible Plunge in a
Brewery.
Anderson kaepfer, workman at Einhart
& Hoch's brewery, at Fifth and Butler
streets, fell into q vat containing several
thousand gallons OF boiling water and yet
lived, and by a miracle may recover. The
water, which is used for scalding hops, was
boiling furiously, when Kaepfer, who is en-
ployed as lab0rer at the brewery, walked
cut upon large beam or truss directly
above the vat.
By some mischance his foot slipped and
the unfortunate man fell into the vat, dis
tance of twelve feet. As he fell he clutched
al the side Of the-vat and caught it. This
saved him fr ON total immersion, but his en-
boiling water. There his struggles and
screams for help soon brought to his aid a
number of his fellow workmen, who as
sisted in getting him out.
Writing in agony the poor fellow lay
upon the floor. where cold water was
quickly dashed over him TO relieve his suf-
terings. His heavy top boots, which we're
filled with the scalding water. were hastily
pulled off, taking with them skin and flesh
from his legs and feet. His limbs presented
horrible sight. When his shirt and other
clothing were cut away from his bodyit was
found that it was parbOiled and stripped of
almost every particle of skin.
Terrible as we're his sufferings, kaepfer
did not lose consciousness, but even gave
directions to those assisting him how to
proceed in removing his clothing. A physi-
clan was summoned, who, when he arrived,
could do nothing but administer an opiate
to deaden the poor fellows sensibilities, so
that he could be handled, as in his fright
fully scalded condition it was agony to him
to touch him.
Tho Episcopal Hospital ambulance was
sent for, and in it Kaepfer was taken to the
hospital, where with great difficulty he was
transferred to a cot and taken in charge by
several physicians. During all this time
the sufferings of the poor man were beyond
description. The physicians say that it will
be next to miraculous If ne shall recover
