THE DYEING OF JEWELS.
A Fraud That Sometimes Defies Even a
ExDert TO Detect.

Fraud That Sometimes Defies Even an
Expert to Detect.
The dealer in precious stones as
well as the jeweler, has constantly 10
exercise great vigilance lest he be de-
ceived by dyed jewellery, especially
diamonds, which trickery is at present
advanced to the state of art, and even
the dealer with an experience Of years
is occasionally taken in.
Before entering more fully into the
details of this dyeing, which is practiced
with aniline colors, it is in place to
state that hitherto it has been i'm
possible to impart to paste the pure
color of certain jewels; for instance, a
pure ruby red or emerald green can not
be produced by melting compound color
substances, and any paste prepared in
this manner is an off, color and easily
recognized by an expert
The following remarks do not apply
to the imitation jewels used on the
stage or by workers in bronze, etc, but
only those that are handled and treated
by the jeweler-the well-known doub-
lets. 1t goes for naught to mention
that the doublet is the imitation of a
jewel, the lower part, the culet, of
which is an appropriately colored paste,
while the upper part, the table, is an
inferior genuine gem, both being fast
ened upon the culet with a water clear
cement. These doublets, however, can
readily be distinguished by the expert.
Since solutions of aniline dyes possess
the property of imparting to genuine
jewels as well as glass paste deep, rich
color, if left long enough immersed in
them, and since they possess also the
property of imparting precisely the
characteristic color of a genuine jewel,
the swindler has it not only in his

Willy WILLIE SMITH.
He Made OfYicer Brecn OF Arkansas City No
End OF Trouble.

William Smith is the name of an Of
fender that has caused Constable Breen
more trouble than falls to the lot of the
average officer. Smith committed some
offense at Arkansas City Saturday, ca &C
count of which he thought the Rocky
mountain breeZes would be much more
congenial to his health than the gentle
zephyrs of Sunny Kansas. He accordingly
took his wife by the arm, bent his steps
toward the depot, purchased an excursion
ticket to Denver, and off he went on the
Santa Fe. Breen got onto his plan OF es-
cape, and followed him, catching him on
the train Sunday morning. When Wich-
ita was reached the willy Willie gave Mr..
Breen the slip and escaped. Breen imme-
diately asked for assistance from
the Metropolitan police, and ofhoer
George Dennis was assigned TO him. lie
was not very long under the guidance OF
Mr. Dennis when the ex-prisoner was
sighted, and after lively chase captured.
He was put in the cooler to await the
south bound evening train, 10 which he
was taken on schedule time. On the way
to the train he told Officer Breen that he
would escape again, and he kept his word.
While at the depot the officer turned him
over to third party while he went to buy
tickets and in his absence Smith jumped
into a hack and was driven rapidly away
bv Al Ballard, the hackman who dropped
him on College hill and returned only to
be arrested himself and given taste OF
the atmosphere of one of the cells in the
bastiie. Various people saw the prisoner
among the shrubbery of College hill aud
knowing him to be prisoner on account
of the jewelry he wore. being mainly
pair of handouts. they reported the mat
ter to the police. Last evening Officers
Harmon and Wood went on his trail and
succeeded in capturing him after he had
the handouts broken in several pieces, He
is now safely behind the bars awaiting
Constable Breens orders.

The Azores or Western Isles in the
North Atlantic, belonging to Portugal,
the supposed site of the ancient Allan
tbs, are said to have been discovered in
the fifteenth century by Vanderberg
of Bruges, who was driven on their
coasts by the weather. Cabral, sent by
the Portuguese court, fell in with St
Mary's in 1882, and in 1887 they were
all discovered and named Azores, from
the number of goshawks found on them.
They were given by Alfonso V. to the
duchess of Burgundy in 1866, and colo
nized by Flemings. They were subject
to Spain 15S0-164O.

Why He Waited.

known firm was going down Adams
street, when he met a debtor to whom
he announced that he had a "bill.n II
was evident from the debtors actions
that he had been told the same appe-
thing piece of news many times be-
fore by the same collector. He drew
up his toes in his shoes till he came
near getting his feet into a couple OF
good-sized round balls, he chucked his
hands into his pockets so hard that he
ripped holes in them, his eyes twisted
and squirmca in their sockets and
then he tried to smile. But he couldn't.
His lips twitchcd, his face burned aud
his smiling apparatus refused to ope-
rate. Just about this time a bright
idea struck him and he stammered out
as well as he could:
"I'm glad met you. I've got the
money This morning. just wait .
minute till l get u bill changed in
here"
The collector looked happy and
waited while the fellow went into o
saloon, out the back door, down an
alley. across lots to his house and told
his wife he was i'll and wouldn't be at
home to callers. The collector is wait
ing yet.-Peorid Herald.

STARVING HATS.
Grewsome Scene on Board n Deserted
Vessel ON the English Coast.

A correspondent of the Newcastle

on the Northumberland coast, tells a
curious story about rats: "What a
scene Of devastation did st. Mary's

her, the vessel might have been sail

the absence Of any apparent life on
board of her. But we had no sooner
put foot on deck than we were immedi-
ately attacked in such n manner that
such of us as had got on board had to
make tracks for the rigging, while the
REST of US fell back into the boats.
Rats! I never saw SO many in my
life and never hope to again. Great,
hungry, lanky, lean-looking rats, many
Of them with their tails chewed of,
swarmed up from belowin never-ending
thousands, squeaking and squirming
over one another in a manner sicken-
ing and horrible to behold, particular
ly to those of us upin the rigging. At
last we cut of some loose ropes, knot
ted them into convenient lengths, and
so armed we descended and attacked
the rodents. eventually succeeding In
beating a passage to our boat. Any
one would have supposed that they
knew by instinct the impending fate OF
the vessel, for they no sooner saw US
over the side than they began to
swarm down the ropes and try to en-
ter the boat, and it was only with diff
ficulty we were able to beat them of
before casting the boat clear; and they
squeaked in a horrible manner in their
anguish and mad frenzy as we rowed
away from the vessels side. They o
