The Inflow of Gold.
Philadelphia Ledger.

This country is not the only great gold
producer in the world. South. Africa pro-
duced more than it did in 1898, and Austria
lasia nearly as much, while Russia made an
important showing. But the gold which
comes from the earth in United States ter
ritory is not this country's only supply OF
that metal. 1t gains a great deal more from
its neighbors in settlement Of commercial
balances and so manages to keep its treas
ury rather over-supplied with 1t.

Manufacturers of imitation jewelry
have lately met with such great sue

jewelry in this city is less than ever
pefore, and it is also said on good au-
ihority that large amounts of capital
are soon to be invested in the manufac-
ture of imitation jewelry For some
time past it has been possible to obtain
imitation jewelry in France and Eng
land which is difficult of detection by
experts; but the business has never be

with platinum, which is harder than

a diamond, is transparent without the

also be transparent, but with it they are
given an unbelievable resemblance to
the genuine stone.

They are so hard that the surface can
be filed and no blemish made on the
stone. AS genuine pearls are the most
costly of gems, so do the imitation of
pearls take the lead in price. They are
made of fishs<in and secret compost
ton. The manufacture of some espe-
cially good imitation pearls, known as
Venetian pearls" is a lost art, the
process having been invented by a poor
Venetian whose secret died with him.
There are about 10000 of them in this
country, bought in Paris, about ten
years ago. they are very hard, can be
stepped on without sustaining the least

The difference in the manufacture of
pearls is obtaining the orient, or lustre,
similar to the genuine gems, and it is
said that very often out of 10000 man
ufactured, few will be marketable, and
they are almost as difficult to match

could order a never before tasted fruit,
something as delicious as it was novel,
that, too, is permissible. This is intend
