PROPERTIES or THE RUBY.
Recent Interesting Discoveries Re.
garding the Crystals Of Corun-
dunn.

Recent Interesting Discoveries Re-
garding the Crystals Of Corun-
dunn.
The chief scientific interest of the
ruby conundrum flows from the ex-
traordinary peculiarities of structure
that it presents, as we'll as from the
mysterious qualities that determine it's
striking color, say the jewelers. Cir
cular. 1t is found in crystals Of great
variety of shapes, but all having a
tendency to the peculiar habit of
growth known to crystallographers as
'twirning." BY testing crystals of cor
undum with %polarized light, it's struc-
ture is found to be wonderfully com
pick, and under the microscope it's ex-
terror face is covered with a strange
network of sculpture, indicative Of mo-
lecular changes. But probably the
most interesting thing about the corun-
dunn crystal is the fact that it is nearly
always found to have inclOsed and u
rounded some foreign body or other
which lies imprisoned in it's midst.
Stranger still is the fact that these
'~included' foreign bodies lie generally
disposed in planes meeting each, other
at an angle Of 60 deg, the result being
to produce the phenomenon Of "arte-
rism," which is the term given to the
white star Of light which is observable
on certain jewels cut with a rounded
surface. Very frequently the impris-
oned body is a minute bubble Of gas
or drop of liquid, containing some
times little crystals of its own. The
microscopic cavities containing these
things are often very numerous. For
a long time the nature of the gas and
fluid contained in these cavities re-
manned a mystery. The English phil
osopher, Brewster, was induced to in
vestigate the subject by hearing that
a ruby which an Edinburgh jeweler
had placed i'll his mouth had exploded
while In that position, with unpleasant
results. Other investigators followed,
and it has nov been made certain that
the fluid is no other than liquid carbonic
acid gas, reduced to that condition by
being under great pressure.
