SEX AMONG DIAMONDS.
A New York Jeweler Discourses About $
Tray of Precious Gems.

Tray of Precious Gems.
In the big show window of iewelry
store rested last week a small tray thst
gathered crowd of curious spectators To
the window Every time the sunlight
played upon the plate glass the tray cor
uscated with prismatic hues OF dazzling
brilliancy. The tray is well 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 pos
sesses great interest for novices in gems,
and the jeweler is called upon half dozen
times day TO explain the beauties of the
specimens.
at took long time to get this collec-
tion together" the jeweler said, "and it is
the only one in the town Of the kind thus
arranged. You see here the brown dia-
rnond, the absinthe, the canary or yellow,
tie gem, the pink, the rose and the coffee
and the green diamond. The effect of these
mbinations in the sunlight is enhancing
Each predominant hue seems to impart a
distinct luster to the prismatic scintilla-
tions. When the tray is swung TO and fro
in the sunbeams, it gives forth, as you see,
a perfect blaze of rainbow colors. These
gems also illustrate different cuttings Of
the diamonds Were they all set in a
bracelet, or a brooch, or a necklace, they
would make rarely beautiful trinket, but
it would cost heap of money"
The jeweler picked out one sparkler with
a pair of diamond tweezers and held it for
ward in the show window.
"This is Brazilian gen." he said, "like
which there is only one other in the world,
in Paris, and the French one is not as pure
or as large as this. This is what is called
black diamond, and is valued at g, 500
1t weighs trifie less than four carats. Its
beauty lies in the fact that it changes its
color in different lights. In this strong
sunlight you see it is almost black. 1t gives
forth a prismatic radiance greater than
that emitted by the best of the black gems.
In gaslight, you observe, the back hue be-
comes rich golden brown, and the play of
colors is changed too Diamonds of this
sort are regarded by the superstitious mi
ners as gold stones,' that is, gems possess
ing power of imparting good luck to the
owner in the search for hidden gold This
stone was secured in Paris, whittier it was
brought in rough for cutting by Rio ia
neirO merchant.
Here" continued the jeweler, ''is an
other curiosity" He picked up three
carat white stone with the tweezers "It
is a specimen that will prove to you that
there is a difference of sex in gems. This
is what is called the female, multiplying
diamond"
He held the gem under strong magni-
flying glass and pointed to four or five
smaller diamonds clustered about one of
the facets at the edge of the table of the
stone. 1.-The male gen." the jeweler said,
''is sharp pointed and never gathers these
embryo gems. There is a fine specimen
alongside that pink stone. 1t surprises
most people who see those specimens to be
told that they are of different sex as well
as color, but such is the fact. t."-Jewelers'

Boy Choirs in New York and Vicinity.

In 1869 there were but three boy choirs
in New York-in Trinity church. Trinity
chapel and St. Johns. After four or five
years, the next boy choir was organ
lied through the exertions Of Mr.. Hatch,
the banker, for Christ church on Fifth
avenue, which is now demolished. After
an interval of seven or eight years, boy
choirs seemed to spring up in ali direc-
tioLs. The ritualistic movement in the
Episcopal church, no doubt had much to
do with the introduction of this kind of
music; though boy choirs are now found
in what are called the Glow" and 'evan-
gelical" branches of the church, aud even
in some of the sectarian churches.
There are now in Brooklyn and New
York between sixty and seventy boy
choirs, and, counting New Jersey and the
suburbs, there must be 100 OF them.-Ia-
