How the Araateur May DistinEu ish
the True From FaIse.

Il -
There are three ways in which an
amateur can tell whether or not a dia-S
mond is real. First boil the stone in
boracic acid to preserves the polish on
the surface of the stone. Heat the jewel
in gas flame and dip it. in cold water
while hot. IF it is diamond, it will
stand the test without cracking to
pieces. If crystal, it will shatter aud
crumble into little balls.
Take cup of water "a black cup.
gutta percha or any dark stone cup is
best and drop two stones into the wa
ter, the one diamond or supposed
diamond and the other what is known
to be the ordinary crystal. The dis-
mond, If true one. will shine clear
white through the water and will re
clearly visible, while the other stone
will blend with the water in such
way as to be almost imperceptible in
the water.
Take surface of striped cloth or pa:
per--red and white stri pes are the best
and pass the stone slowly over the
surface. If the colors show through the
stone, it is crystal. A diamond will not
show the varieties CT color, but will
look the same over the red as over the
white stripes. Of course these tests are
only for amateurs. There are numer-
Gus chemical tests made use of by ex-
pert diamond dealers, but these could
not be used by any one not an expert
on the subject .~.-:.,

Plan for . board Of Arbitration Agreed
Upon by the Peace Conferences.
- HE SHAGUE, July 8. American del
zegates to the peace conference are we'll
pleased with the result Of their 1abors
80. behalf Of the form alton Of a per-
manent board Of arbitration to pass
upon disputes between nations without
recourse to the arbitrament of arms. "A
plan for such body has. finally been
agreed upon. The scheme is very ex-
haustlve, containing over so clauses.
The main provisions are as follows:
with the object of preventing as far
as possible recourse to force in interna-
,tiona1 relations the signatory powers
agree to use all endeavors to effect by
pacific means a settlement of the differ
ences which may arise among them.
The signatory powers decide that in
cases of serious difference or conflict
they will, before appealing to arms,
have recourse, so far as circumstances
permit, to the good Offices of mediation
Of one or several friendly powers.
May Serve ASIA Mediator.
Independently of this, the signatory
powers deem it useful that several of
the powers not committed to the arbi-
tration scheme shall on their own in
tiative offer, as far as circumstances
permit, their good Offices for mediation
to the contending states. The right of
! offering their good Offices belongs to
powers not connected with the conflict.
''The part of m ediator consists in rec
onciling conflicting claims and appeas-
ing resentment which may have arisen
between contending states.
"With the object of facilitating an
immediate recourse to arbitration for
international differences not regulated
by diplomatic means, the signatory
powers undertake to organize perma-
! nent court of arbitration accessible at
ali times. -rs s ::.s,:2s. 81
GOOD offices and mediation have the
exclusive character of counsel and are
devoid Of obligatory force"

Gross CreduIity.

The Galician peaSantry is fond of the
marvellous, especially of marvels con-
cerning the persons of rulers. Many
were the legends about the Inflated
Macmillan, Emperor of Mexico, and
Rudolph, the heir apparent to the Aus
trian throne. They We're not dead, but
languishing in dungeons, banished TO
distant lands, or living secretly in the
country. And now we have a strange
tale about a portrait of the late En-
press Elizabeth, hitherto in the possess
sion of one Kulczycki, who lives at
Nowosiolak. Great drops of blood, it
is said, began not long ago to ooze
from the side of the frame of the por-
trait, which was glazed and covered
with veil. The news Of this strange
fact spread far and wide. Father Szu-
chiewicz, the parish priest of Kratow.
came, in the presence of numerous wit
nesses and took the picture out of its
frame. There was really blood, which
he carefully wiped away, and replaced
the portrait in the frame Removing
it again after awhile he found that the
picture was again moist with blood.
which issued from spot near the
heart. He then took the portrait away,
and, judging that a real miracle had
taken place, caused it to be hung up in
his church The people Of the neigh
boring villages are convinced that this
signifies either that the late Empress
was a saint, or that great and bloody
war is soon to come. OF course all
these facts-if they be facts-might
easily be explained by the supposition
that some trickery was employed, and,
a tertium guild posted, that it merely
signifies their own gross credulity.-
