Making Real Jewels.

Something OF real present interest TO
dealers and the public alike is the sue
cess which has been achieved in the man
ufacture OF rubies. While the diamond
is the commonly accepted synonym for
value In precious stone the ruby which
meets the proper requirements is much
more valuable When possessing the real
pigeon blood color evenly distributed and
without haw the ruby is worth from
three TO ten times as much per csret as
the diamond. This stone, therefore, fs
the favorite target for imitation. And.
AS before stated. IL is in making rubies
that -tha-Srnalest- -SkIll-has been shown.
Electricity has done much for this art. A
Frepchman-his identity is a secret to the
world. and as yet he is known only by
his works-has learned 10 melt up small
rubier- fragments Of rubies. and fuse
them into one stone. The product IL not
an imitation. IL has all the chemical and
physical properties OF the real thing 1t
is as hard has the same specific gravity,
and is genuinely beautiful in color.
But say tho jewellers. Il is not gem
uine. Such n stone is known TO the trar-
as reconstructed" ruby. None but the
most expert can distinguish Il from the
so-called real one The connoIsseur will
admit that he distinguishes IL by the alb
sence OF the flaws rather than by the
presence OF defects
The reconstructed ruby appeared on the
market about eighteen months ago. All
came from one source. a wealthy dealer
I'm Paris. AT first the stones were In
great demand. and sold for 800 n carat:
but as the public gradually learned that
the stone was the combined result OF the
work OF nature and OF man the dema nd
fell OF. The buyer felt that the stone.
made up of fragments fused IN an electric
furnace. was not just the same "a the
one taken from the earth even though
the latter might have more flaws. and.
unless deceived by the dealer. he would
not pay as much for a.. In consequences

 At two national conventions Will jam Mckinley had refused to become a candidate before the great party gathering in St. Louis in 1896, when he was made the party's standard bearer on the first ballot. In 1888 he forbade the use of his name, standing firmly by Sherman as his choice for the nomination, when his unspoken acquiescence might have given him the post at the head of the ticket. In the convention of 1892, though he was a staunch supporter of Benjamin Harrison and refused to allow the use of his name, his name was presented and he received 182 votes. As per- manent chairman of the convention, he at once left the chair on the an- nouncement of this result of the first ballot and presented the motion in person that the nomination of MT. Harrison be made unanimous.
 The St. Louis convention of 1898 was like great ratification meeting in that William Mckinley was nomi- mated with a sweep on the first bal lot.
