GEMS HAVE DISEASES.
Some Precious Stones Lose Color
Some Gradually Fade and Die.

Gems have diseases just as men and
women do, with this difference, that
the infirmities of precious stones can
rarely be cured. Some gems deterio-
rate, grow old, in other words, and
gradually become lifeless. Pearls are
most subject to this fate, and no
means have been found to restore them
to life
Among infirmitieS to which precious
stones are liable is one common to all
colored stones, that of fading, or los
ing color when long exposed to the
light, The emerald, the sapphire, and
the ruby suffer the least, their colors
being as nearly permanent as colors
can be, yet experiments made a few
years ago in Paris and Berlin to deter
mine the deterioration of colored gems
through exposure showed that even
these suffered, a ruby which has lain
for two years in show window being
perceptibly lighter in tint than it's
original mate, which was kept in the
darkness.
The causes of the change are not
very clear, even to expert chemists, but
it is evident that the action of the light
on the coloring matter of the gem eff
fects q deterioration, slow, but ex-
ceedingly sure.
In the case of the garnet and topaz
the change Is more rapid than in that
of the ruby and sapphire. Opals that
have successfully passed the ortleals of
grinding, polishing, and setting do not
often crack afterward, but 1T is best
not to expose them to even the mOder-
ate heat involved by the wearer sitting
in front of an open fire, for the opal is
composed principally of silicic acid,
with from five to ten per cent. of
water, a combination which renders
them very treacherous objects. The
idea that they are otherwise unfor-
tunate in the sense that they bring
disaster to the wearer may be dis
missed as superstitious.
OF all precious stones, however, the
opal is the most open to be diseased

LOGIC VERSUS FAITH.

We may scout at the story of Eden
In the modern conventional way;
We may sub Geological epoch
For the Genesis kind of a day
We may doubt the ancestry of Adam.
And ''evolute" up to the race
Deny the scriptural deluge
And 'glaciatei its every trace
we cannot IN all Of our connngs
Hold Gcd too fast to His laws.
And for every effect written after
Look too close for the primal cause"
Yet in seeking logical basis
For the great original plan.
Faith must bridge a whole series of chasrn,
In our search for the primitive man
