BOGUS GEMS,
Counterfeits of Precious Stones and How
They Are Made.

/ Counterfeits of Precious Stones and How
They Are Made.
"The finest imitation diamonds are
made out of rock crystal, said Wash
lngton dealer in precious stones to a
writer for the Star of that city. 1.-THE
basis of the most successful counter
feits OF all kinds Of gems is a pure, very
dense, and highly transparent sort of
glass, which is termed paste in the
trade. For false diamonds this glass is
simply cut and polished in facets,
while for initiating other stones, such
as rubies, emeralds, sapphires, ETC..
metallic oxides are mixed with it.
In manufacturing glass for such pur-
poses the processes employed have to
be conducted with the utmost nicely
For making even the best mirrors the
necessary silica is obtained from
ordinary white quartz, while common
window panes are produced from sea
sand to a large extent; but, in this
case, rock crystal is substituted. COM
posing about fifty per cent OF the in
gradients of the paste. To it must be
added twenty-twoper cent of carbonate
of soda and due proportions of calcined
borax, saltpeter, and red lead. Al Of
these things are reduced to the finest
powder, mixed. fused together by heat
IN crucible and cooled slowly.
The density, transparency, and
beauty of the paste depend upon the
care taken in these processes. Thus
made, it is all ready to be cut up into
diamonds and prepared for market 1t
may be, however, that the Eaanufsc-
turer desires to produce counter
felt gems of other sorts II SO, he
has the means readily a. hand
Surprising that he wants rubies, he
fuses with paste very small quantity

Cats, large and small, make the most
careful toilet of any class of animals, ex,

manner as the cat, wetting the dark, India

La the British Navy, where the regula-
lions against women on shipboard are
even more stringent if possible, than In
that Of the United States, instances where
the rule has been set at naught abound.
Thus bluff old Admiral Ayscough, who

still well represented, all day long, on
every Queens ship when in port, often ta

On at least two occasions it has been
the admirals themselves who have rem
dered themselves guilty, involuntarily, 1T is
true, of attractions of the rule against
women On shipboard Thus, when the
channel squadron was lying off Kings
town year or two ago, ball was given
on board the flagship. During the en-
tertainment a fierce and sudden gale
sprung up, and the admiral, mistrusting
the anchorage, Immediately carried the
squadron out to sea. During the next
forty eight hours that followed every cabin
in the great ironclad had to be turned
into hospital for seasick Irish ladies. A
similar incident took place last year dur
ing the naval fe stivities at Portsmouth in
connection with the visit Of the French
feet.
Among other admirals who have set an
example of disobedience to the rule against
women, was the famous Lord Colinwood,
who permitted a pretty young widow
named Mrs. Grant to act for three years
as purser's steward on board his flagship.
Admiral Lord William Talbot had his L.
