SPURIOUS STONES.
All Kinds of Precious Gems Are Now
 Successfully Initiated, by Experts.

Every precious stone is now success fully initiated. and sold from ten cents 10 as much as S25 each. according to size and quality, says the Cincinnati Enquirer.
 Artificial diamonds have been made for more than 100 years, the process being first discovered by a German named Strass. and the peculiar kind of glass that bears his name exactly re- seInbies the diamond when cut. Strass is nothing more than rock crystal. to which boraX. arsenic. potash and other chemicals have been added. The in- gradients when thoroughly pulverized and sifted are placed in a crucible and subjected to enormous heat in fur mace. The melting occupies from 20 to 8 hours. and skill is needed to see that the proper temperature is main- tained or the strass comes out cloudy and utterly useless.
 At the expiration of that time the crucible is removed and placed in a chamber, where the heated atmos- phere is permitted to gradually cool and solidify the strass. which is then ready to be cut as required. Exactly the same process is followed in mak- ing emeralds, except that large pro- portions of fine white sand and green oxide of chrome are melted into the strass. Opals are by far the most diff cult stones 10 initiate; indeed. it is only within the last decade that they have been successfully copied with the aid of electricity and solution of silicates.
 Every one is aware that when real diamonds are cut a quantity of fine dust is given off which is apparently valueless. But lapidaries collect the sweepings from the tables and sell them to the makers of artificial gems at s20 per pound. who purify them with an acid that destroys everything but the pure diamond dust. This is mixed with another acid and placed under enormous pressure, which results in sheets of diamond dust as thin IS pa per being given off. The facets of the sham stone are then covered with transparent cement and layer of diamond paper" laid upon them. When dry the false jewels, veneered
 
 the genuine stones that they are often set in pure gold. for no one but an ex- pert can detect the difference. and then only with the aid of a powerful mag nifying glass. This is. of course, the most expensive artificial gem made. inasmuch as one that has been proper ly veneered cannot be purchased for less than &. % for he unset "stone."

AMERICAN BRAINS FOUND WAY
lars Worth nf Mining Machinery in the United States

The development of the East Indian gold fields is engaging the serious at tention of the British Indian govern ment. An officer of the Royal En- gineers in it's service recently returned to India from this country after col lecting all the information possible and giving orders for machinery for working the low grade ores of the Mysore gold fields, says the New York Sun.
 These ores are said to resemble those of South Africa and Australia, which can be profitably treated only by the cyanide process. but there was some doubt as to whether the reefs were extensive enough to justify the investment of capital in working them. Exploration which has been going on for several years has proved that the ore is in abundance, and the only ques- ton that remained was as to the char acter of the power to be used in driv- ing the machinery required to ex- tract it.
 IL was in connection with this part of the scheme that the officer referred to visited this country. The various systems of working were carefully studied, and it was finally decided that machines worked with compressed air should be employed. The difficulty that still presented itself was as to the method of compressing the air.
 Steam power was out of the uues- tion, and the nearest available water power is about 100 miles from the fields. The engineers in England. Ger many. Belgium and France who were consulted were not able to give a sat isfaetory solution of it. Finally he turned to this country. After several months of working and experimenting the difficulty was overcome and means were found by which electrical power could be transmitted over the 100 miles intervening between the water bower and the gold fields. and at the latter by means of new machinery used in the production of compressed air.
 The result of the mission of the agent of the British Indian govern ment to this country has been that or ders for considerably more than s1.- 100000 worth of machinery have been given, and by next summer American machinery, worked by American engi- nsers. will be set up in Mysore to add to the worlds production of gold.
 The estimate is that when these Mysore gold fields are fully developed they will yield from S30 GOO. .o0o to s45 100000 worth of gold annually at a very fair profit.

A WONDERFUL CLOCK.
Ingenious Piece of Mechanism That Has Occupied . Chicago Man
 Nineteen Years.

wonderful! clock has just been finished by frank Bohacek, of Chi cago. The building of the giant in- strument occupied his spare time for 19 years and cost $4,000 in cash. says the Little Chronicle. There are four dials arranged diamond fashion The lowest is eight feet across. and in the center is red globe, a foot in diameter, that represents the sun. At the rim of the dial is a map globe or the earth and a ball representino the moon. The earth circles around the sun once in 365 days, and turns on it's axis every 24 hours, while the moon makes revolution once a month. The clock is not embarrasses by leap years in 400 years. Surround Ing the disk is band foot wide. on which are the signs of the zodiac. The left hand dial has the hours nun. pered from l to 24. The one to the right has three circles of figures and three hands, and shows the day of the week, the day of the month and the month of the year. The ton dial is like that of common clock.
 Every minute a wooden statue. IS inches high, appears at window in the midst of the dials. These figures represent the presidents, Columbus. Uncle Sam, Columbia, Dewey, the lib
 erty bell and the eagle. Each marches. as if to pass the window, but sudden ly turns and looks out. The in- ventor intends to add a giant music box, that will play dozen patriotic airs, one every two hours. The clock is operated by five 60-pound weights.

SNOW INTERPRETERS WITH
THE MINING OPERATIONS
Miners in the Sacramento Mountains
Have to Quit Work Temporarily.

The heavy snow in the Sacramento
and Blanco mountains materially in
terfered with mining operations last
week.
On Mount Blanco the snow is from
ten to fifteen feet deep and the roads
are impossible. At the foot of the
mountains the small mines have suS-
pended work to await the melting of
the snow.
In the hills around the Caballero
Onyx mines the snow is about eight
inches deep and operations have been
suspended. The company has a num-
Der of men at work there who have
gone itno quarters On account Of the
snow.
Several of the large mines in the
White Oaks district have also closed
down for snow and nothing can be
done until the snow melts. This is
thought to be temporary as the snow
seldom gives much trouble in that
country.
