with letters to be left, and tho sailor
who takes them looks over those already

BUYING PRECIOUS STONES.
Some Of the Valuable Gems and What
They Are Made OF.

Some Of the Valuable Gems and What
They Are Made or
Buying jewels is as hazardous a. buy
ing horses, and could anything possibly
be more risky than the latter? White
sapphires have occasionally been sold as
diamonds, and as proof that white topaz
may easily be confused with them one
has only to recall the fact that the lar
gest diamond In the world, the Bragan-
"a, belonging to the crown Of Portugal
and valued at e68, 900, 900, is by many
considered to be only topaz. Carbon,
In pure crystallized state, is in every
color Of the rainbow, red, orange, green,
blue and even black, and occasionally
the colored are as valuable as brilliant
Of the same size.
The jewels next in hardness to the
diamond are the sapphire and the ruby,
called by experts corundum, or crystal
lized clay. Blue corundum is called sap
phire; red, ruby; green, oriental emer
aid; orange, oriental topaz, and violet,
oriental amethyst. The word oriental
distinguishes these from real emerald,
topaz and amethyst, which are distinct
minerals.
The largest and most famous ruby in
the world forms part Of the imperial
state crown made for Queen Victoria in
1888. It is believed that this ruby was
worn In front of the helmet Of Henry V
at Agincourt.
The most precious sapphires and ru-
bies, when cut and polished, show rays
from the center to the sides in the form
of q six pointed star. On this accoant
they are called star sapphires or rubies.
