bles Of the precious stone were first found in

America 1t was assumed that this vas evidence
OF the migrations Of primitive races Of tho
earth. But modern discoveries OF Jade in
places have upset that theory. and make it
appear that 1t may be- found in many quar-
tiers OF the globe.
In discussing the nature Of Jade n, recent
writer in tho London Daily Ne,rs says that DR..
Noetling OF the Indian Geological Survey. who
has been studying this subject in Upper Bur-
muh. whence most Of the worlds stock Of jade
comes. decides that it belongs to a group OF
e~ruptive rocks that have burst a way through
strata Of tho late tertiary period. 1t is init

other places where serpentine occurs when

What Is jade. any way7 The question Is
likely to be asked the first thing by a good
many persons. and perhaps 1t betrays n not un.
pnrdonable Ignorance. considering ouT smhii
familiarity and com paratively recent acduaint-
ance with the precious green stone OF the
Chinese. To speak popularity the term jade
includes both Jadeite and nephrito. strictly
speaking Jade is jadeite. and geoloGically IL 10
n silicate OF alumina. The nophrite is q Bill
cate OF magnesia. Except in the matter OF
specific gravity. which in the Oriental Jade 10
from .3.2o to 3.2S and IN the iades found In
Alaska and New Zealand Is 2D4 to 300. there
Is little to distinguish the two stones upon u
superficial examination.
The peculiarities Of Jade. as all know who
have seen the wonderful carvings for orna-
mental objects made by the Chinese. and
much sought after by bric-a-brac collectors
here and elsewhere. are tho greasy appear
ance OF the surface. the deep olive green color.
and the extreme toughness OF the stone.
There Ia n popular error that credits jade win
being tho hardest OF stones. but quartz crys-
tai will scratch 1t easily. while n blow with q
sledge-hammer would hardly mar the surface
OF n pebble Of II.
The us6 OF Jade for purposes OF ornament Is
very ancient. The principal jade mines OF tho
world are In Burmah. and the Chinese. who
have tho exclusive privilege OF working these
mines. have for centuries esteemed this stone
above gold. BY them 1t is known as Yu. and
they speak OF it's color. after their poetic FASH
ion. as the color OF spring" Formerly they
attributed TO the stone certain supernatural and
medicinal qualities, but the principal secret
of its value. besides the fact OF Its rarity ana
beauty OF colors and markings. is the difficulty
OF working and polishing it. The little carved
bottle or other ornament often represents the
life work Of an extraordinarily patient Chinese
lapldary. The stone is drilled and Clipped
away. particle by particle. with Infinite skill.
and finally polished in all the details OF the re-
lief patterned with emory or some other
powder. 1t Is very compact in texture and
heavy. and even when polished 1t retains both
to the touch and sight the sense OF greasiness.
