Slain in the Hour of Success.

The Indian who trailed the hunter
silently and secretly through the woods,
often played with his victim as a cat

There are certain forms of disease
which seem inhumanly malevolent.

USED In MAKING JEWELS.
Some of the Ingredients Employed
in Manufa curing Sham Gems.

From the Chicago Chronicle.
To meet the growing demand for arti-
icial jewelry the process Of making "pre-
cious stones" has been greatly improved
within the last few years and its further
development has enlisted the services Of
some of the most skillful chemists.
The material chiefly used is glass, but
it is not the ordinary glass of commerce.
II is prepared with the greatest care by
highly skilled artisans. for upon its clear
hess and perfect homogeneity depends the
quality Of the imitation gems, which are
far superior TO the cheap grade of coun-
terfeits that rely on silver backings for
their luster
This glass can only be made from abso-
lutely pure quartz, or, better still, frorl
rock crystal, as quartz frequently con-
tains minute veins of iron, which would
impair the clearness and color Of the
glass. The bicarbonate of potash and
the oxide OF lead which are mixed with
II must also be chemically pure. Other
ingredients Of less Importance arc borax,
which promotes the fux, and small
quantity OF arsenic.
The best glass for imitation gems con
sists OF rock crystal. 30 per cent; bicar-
Donate OF potash, II per cent; oxide Of
lead. 20 per cent; borax, per cent, and
q trace OF arsenic. Carefully prepared
by competent hands, this mixture pro-
duces a grade OF glass which IN brilllan-
cy and iridescence yields little to tho
genuine diamond itself, and these quail
tics may be further enhanced by the sub
stitution Of potassium for che bicarbou-
ate OF potash and an incrcase Of the guam
tity OF oxide OF lead used
Stones carefully made by this process
can only be distinguished from the gem
