SELLING POOR STONES.

Most of the cheating in diamonds is
done by selling poor stones for good ones.
There is popular lotion that diamonds can
be bought more cheaply from pawnbrokers
than from reputable jewelers.. Neverthe-
less, 1t is likely that the money lenders are
very we'll acquainted with the value OF the
stones they offer for sale. and the gems ex-
posed in their windows on white cards
marked great bargain, $3.50 and so forth,
are never worth the prices asked for them.
such collections are the refuse of the
market, not desi ed by the dealers to whom
they have previously been offered, being
composed OF of-color. 1awed aud spread
that is, too broad for their depth-siones.
1t pays to buy the finest diamonds only
even though they be small. Poor ones are
a bad Investment, like shoddy clothes.
They have gone down very much in price
within the st few years. and it is not con-
stdered good form TO wear them. On try
ing to sell them the owner always finds that
he can get but small fraction of what he
paid for them, whereas gems OF first-rate
quality will bring from so to 70 per cent.
METHODS OF CHEATING AND RoBBING.
Dishonest dealers sometimes arrange off,
colored diamonds on block cotton or in black
paper and try to sell them at peoples houses
person who knows what he is about will buy
precious stones except by daylight. Yellow
diamonds are sometimes set with backing
OF black paste 10 make them seem white
Dlsreputable jewellers will occasionally
substitute inferior gems for fine ones in
necklaces or other jewels brought ~ them

THE HALL MARK,

ATTEMPTS have been made TO introduce
in this country the hall mark which Is put
on gold jewelry in France TO indicate its
tueness. Every French manufacturer of
lewelry sends his products to the official
hall marks Of the government, who test
the article submitted to them and make a
little jag On each piece to certify that it Is
up to the requisite grade of purity. For this
purpose they scrape 1t on a kind of black
jasper, which is known as Iydian touch
stone 1t makes a yellow mark. They
have also little pencils of gold, which are
graded all the way up from 10 carats, let US
say, to "A carats. Suppose the piece of gold
that is being tested is surmised to be about
p carats. A yellow mark is made along
side the first ore with the 22-carat pencil
Then acid is poured over both streaks, and
If they both fade away simultaneously the
expert knows that the ring or what not that
Is being tried is % carat, like the pencil.
But If the gold streak from the ring
fades more quickly than that from the
pencil he cannot mistake the fact that the
ring 10 not as good as q carat. However
the preferable way would be to make two
or three marks with gold pencils of different
carats on the jasper and thus see off-hAnd
which one bore the acid just like the ring
streak. OF course a hall mark would be OF
no use unless it were protected by law
The imitation Of it In France is as great a
crime as counterfelting money. IL would
be quite as satisfactory il every iewelry
maker In the United States were compelled
to put his name on ali his goods. At present
the debasng Of gold by few carats below
ITS represented purity is very common n
this county"

disaster. The Argentine torpedo cruiser
Rosales, enroute to CaciZ Spain,
to participate in the Columbus cele-

coast of Uruguay, near Cape Polonio.
On July a terrible pampero was encoun-

creasing until it became hurricane
of the most furious kind The next day the
engineer OF the Itossles informed Captain
Furres that the boiler ana engine rooms
were flooded. The crew were set to work
and every effort made to save the vessel
from destruction. Little progress, however,
was made, although the men kept steadily
at their posts.

All day on July the crew continued its
work Of trying TO free the vessel OF water,
out the waves ran so hlgh thal inc damage
done by them was far greater than the good
done by the almost herculeau efforts of the
sailors. The heavy seas put ont all the fires
and broke the steering gear, rendering it i'm
possible for the crew TO keep the vessel any
longer ahoat.
When the captain became convlhced Of
this fuct he ordered tie crew TO abandon
the boat All OF the boats were quickly
filled A raft was constructed out Of the
wreckage, and this afforded refuge
for others Of the crew. The captain
and officers got into the whale
boat, and after three days OF hardship and
peril the whale boat arrived at Cape Polonio.
It's not known where the sailors aud fore
men landed, II they were so fortunate as to
reach the shore. Six OF the men are re-
ported TO have reached the coast OF Brazil.
