PRECIOUS sroNRs 10 oRDER.
Mr.. Edison Exercises His Talents ia
Cheapening the Cost OF Gems.

Fr0m the New York World.
The latest discovery of Thomas A. Ed
isou is the secret Of the composition of
precious stones That is, he has discov-
cred how some precious stones are made
ana he is now manufacturing rubics
MIR. Edison is making rubies for orna-
ment or without any intention of entering
the jcwelry trade, but simply 10 supply a
want created by the manufacture Of del
icate machinery The rubies he is max
ing at the Orange laboratory are used as
bearings in monographs and in other
delicate mechanism where great hard
ness is required 81 had been buying
commercial rubies from Ceylou, said Mr.
Edison recently, land found that they
cost a good deal of money They are
sold to the jewClry trade for the bear
ings of watches, and the ordinary Jew
eiled' watch contains more or less of
these stones. BY system of analysis l
discovered their chemical composition,
and am now making rubies as good as
those which l used TO buy and a good deal
cheaper
Are they the same as the rubies sold
by Jewelers.
No, " said Mr. Edison "They are not
colored, l suppose it world be possible
, to color them. In fact, this has been
done, and it is only a short time ago that
it was discovered that a syndicate in
Paris had been making and selling rubies
for ornament, which passed as genuine in
the jeWelry trade. A leading firm of
jewellers in New York was stuck on a
lot of them and had sold some to their
customers as genuine stones before the
fraud was discovered, when they refund
ed the money. The Paris syndicate was
compelled to disgorge large part of its
profit. This only shows, however, how
science is unrayelling the secrets of nat
Ure. The ruby, the emerald, the garnet
and other precious stnes are allied, with
little chemical difference, except as to
color, and | suppose it would be possible
to manufacture them.
"Can you make a diamOndN
"No." said Mr. Edison. II have tried
that, but have not succeeded. The dia-
mOnd is the hardest thing known. The
most useful kind is the black diamond,
which is used to polish the white variety
See what a great thing it would be If
some one would find out how to make
black diamonds cheap! They could be
sold at a moderate sum to be used in rock
drills, thereby cheapenlng engineering
works and excavation. 1t is apparent,
however, that the diamond differs radi-
NdllS rum IlS IVY VllC CAlStn l,' 'iLiN' 'hli
other precious stones. 1t is much harder,
and is in effect nothing but the purest
carbon. Gold is only valuable because it
is rare. 1t is not nearly so useful as iron,
which is the real precious metal"
what do you think of aluminium, the
metal of the futureH"
1T is not much good" said Mr.. Edison
"Alumnium is too soft. 1t is light, but it
lacks strength. The metal of the future
is nickel-steel, which combines strength
with pliability. Gold is not worth as
much as Lead in commerce, and brass is
more than worth its weight in gold"
