GEMS THAT ARE COUNTER

It is said that one test of
diamond lies in the fact that
through a genuine one the set
ting cannot be seen, while the
best imitation canceal the gold

prick hole in card aud then
look through the diamond at
the card. If the stone Is real
you will see but one hole, if
it is false tbare will seem to be
two holes. Diamonds, and in
deed all precious stones should
be washed with brush in
soapsuds and warm water, rims
ed off in cologne, ammonia or
alcohol, and left TO dry in a
box of jewelers. sawdust or
even common brand. After
brisk shaking the sawdust can
be brushed off and the gem will
be as brilliant as when first pol
i>hed. Transparentgems should
never be wiped, but it is wise
to apply the above treatment
very ofteh-at least twice a
week-for what is so essential
to a precious stone as its flash
and glitter! And these are
only obtainable when jewel
and setting are clean and
bright.
Pearls are valued more for
shape smoothness and tint than
for size. They are SO we'll i'm
itated that the would-be buyer
should always consult an ex-
pert or two. One of the most
readily detected but still very
perfect counterfeits is made by
coating the inside of a flmy|
bubble of glass with an opales-
cent mixture made from the
scales of fish.
The ruby, as everyone knows,
is more valuable, Karat for
karat, than the diamond, but
there are comparatively few
famous ones among western
collections, as the people of
India and of the East generally
consider a perfect ruby to be
the finest production of nature;
so, when found of any size the
princes of those countries buy
them and refuse to sell them or
allow them TO leave their do
minions.
Opals have long been impos-
sibIe to counterfeit, but a Ger
man chemist has lately DEM
nonstrated that ether and sill
cate mixed in certain proper
lions will make a glass which
is a perfect imitation. 1t may
be interesting to note the proph
ecy that in the near future
real gems are to be produced at
will by the chemists crucible.
In that day the elite will dis
dain ornaments SO cheap, and
the diamond collectors will be |
bankrupt, since the Koh moor !
itself will be only so much re-
producible matter. However, |

Loomis Hints of an Attempt to
Poison a Young Lady
by a Cake.
Cross-Examined by Attorney Rlx
the Plaintiff Makes Other
F. Charges. 49,

:. Plaintiff e. a. Loomis was on the stand
yesterday afternoon in his suit against
Calvin Somers for 100000 for malicious
prosecution. He was under cross-exami1l-
alton by the defense, but managed to get
in several additional charges against his
adversary, Somers. -
Loomis#was cross-examined by counsel
as to his statements regarding Somers,
propositions to. him to murder Mrs.
Steiger, Somers. mother, by andbagging,
drowning, and otherwise removing her.
He held to his original assertions.
He also limited that Somers wanted him
to take some poisoned cake to lady in
San Francisco, but he was checked in his
d1yulgations in this regard. .Somers had
a lso told him that Mrs. Treadwell had no
claim to the title of purity nor her children
TO that of legitimacy. This witness had
repeated TO Mrs. Treadwell, who had only
remarked, Did he say so pr
In another connection Mrs Treadwell
had said she would never be satisfied until
Attorney Hudson was six feet under
ground, like Mr.. Treadwell, and that she
would give LOOMS anopportunity to show
his friend ship in that regard.
1t was shown that Loomis throughout
these propositions maintained friendly re-
| lations with Mrs. TreadweH and Somers.
A juryman asked why he had not informed
the authorities. . ;
Loomis answered that he wanted Somers
TO sign a statement generating him from
the blame of shooting Detective McClin-
| took.
/ Somers showed some temper at an attor-
ney for the prosecution when he asked
whether the defense thought he had pro-
cured Mrs.. Isabella Somers' deposition.
| This was ON a second but vain attempt to
introduce the deposition. -
Both parties have announced that they
have concluded with Witness Fisher Auies.
To-day Judge Daingerfield will continue
to try the case in his new courtroom in the
Larkin-street wing. Mr.. Loornis will again
be subjected to cross-examination By At

that some extensions of tracks and other
