Tricks N AL TRADES.
Lapidaries Who Substitute Stones and
Gems that Are ''Just as Good"


Lapldaries Who Substitute Stones ard
Gems that Are ''Just az Good"
A Chicago jeweIer was handed New
Mexico garnet the other day, with the
request that he have it cut for ring
setting. Two days later he sent for his
customer and when the latter came
said:
Il en- afraid to have that stone cut"
"whyg"
''WeII. I am not sure that what 1
give TO the lapIdary win be returned to
me-he may substitute a stone
How do you known
Il took your garnet to a lapidary
with an order to cut it at once. He
looked it over and then handed me a
cut stone, with the remark that that
would do In it's place. Then 1 found
out that this lapidary at least, If not
others, when receiving a stone in the
rough finds It cheaper to substitute an
already cut stone Of similar color than
to cut the original
The customer finally had the stone
cut in carbuncle form for a pin. but to
this day he is not satisfied that he re-
ceived back the stone which he ORR
ginally turned over to the lapidary.
In the matter Of ordinary ring settings
it is easy to make substitutions with
out it being possible for even an expert
to know that the change has been eff
fected. The owner Of a garnet In the
rough has no means Of proving when
II has been cut that it is the stone he
first possessed. He takes the lapidarys
word for 1t. Another trick which Is
quite common but not generally
known to customers is that OF substi-
tuting hair on customers who desire
ornaments of hair made for brooches,
pins or chains. A young man secures
a lock Of hair from his sweetheart and
PUSHES OF 10 have it made into one OF
those lovely watch chains that look
Ike a centipede with a million legs.
He lovingly hands the lock to the hair
worker but often he does not receive
back the hair he gave. The hair work
] er buys his hair at wholesale. He
makes 1t up into stock ornaments. He
simply matches the hair he has receiv-
ed with something In stOck-not diff
ficult matter-his work is completed
and his bill ready for collection.
OF course. the customer knows no
I better, so the workman of easy con-
science asks, What it the differenceTv
/ There does not seem to be much--only
the difference between honesty and
dishonesty. and that is no more than
the difference between black and
white.

The ex-Empress Eugene received a

FLOWERS Preserved by Insects.

Insects are a necessity of the life of
flowers, as they carry the pollen; yet
some destroy both plants and trees.
Here nature comes In with extraordin-
airy means Of protection, as in the
arum lily, where fibers like needles
and spikes force them to beat a hasty
retreat. The bulls horn thorn, an Aus
tralian tree. is particularly well pro-
tected against these marauders.
At the end OF each leaf is a
pair OF hollow horns. in which
live a small. fierce, pugnacious
species Of ant. bribed to the office Of
defence by a generous supply OF food
collected on the leaf close to their cells.

The building which is to house the ex-
hibit in manufactures and liberal arts at
Buffalo is now reaching completion, and
will be one Of the most imposing in the
fine group surrounding the Court Of
Fountains 1t is 500 by $50 feet, with
central court, and a dome 40 feet in d.
ameter over the entrance TO the south.
Broad steps between groups Of beautiful
statuary lead up to this entrance, which
consists of lofty arch, with columns on
either side. Elaborate sculpture in relief
enriches the gable. Statues symbolizing
the various arts and industries are TO be
placed in inches at the angles Of the open
towers around the dome, from whose in
terror visitors can look down from gal
leries and obtain view Of the throngs
below.
The exhibits to be placed in this build
ing will illustrate the mental. moral and
social progress Of mankind in the West
ern hemisphere Under the general clas-
siication Of liberal arts will be all arti-
cles relating to education or social econ
omy, books and periodicals, scientific APP
paratus. hygiene and sanitation. musical
instruments. public works. civil engineer
ing, constructive architecture, photo
graphs and Photographic supplies, medi-
cal and dental and surgical apparatus,
and other branches Of applied Intellectual
activity The work of collecting and
classifying these exhibits is now well IN
der way and is in charge OF DR.. Selim H.
Peabody, who successfully handled the
same division at the Columbian EXPOSE
ton.
The sculpture for the Temple of Music
is to be among the most exquisite in the
whole exposition, and with its mural dec
orations this building will constitute one
of the most artistic features.
Throughout the beautiful grounds, COM
/ prising $50 acres, there will be 125 SPLEEN
/ did original groups of statuary, symbolic
ing the purposes of the buildings and
bringing out the poetry in what to many
may seem exceedingly prosaic depart
/ ments. The fountain Of Man by Charles
Crafty, at the east end Of the esplanade,
is fianked by the fountain OF Prometheus
and the fountain of Hercules. The sub
jects OF other fountains in this group will
be the Savage age. the Despotic Age and
the Age of Enlightenment At the Other
end of the esplanade the fountain of Ma
ture by George T. Brewster is the most
elaborate sculptural adornment, its mean
ing being ampliied in minor fountains
such as the fountain of Ceres. and groups
typifying mineral wealth, animal wealth
etc. These symbolic ideas will be work
ed out in beautiful forms in other por
tions of the main court.
Already the exposition grounds, viewed
from a little distance, present the appear
ance of beautiful and stately little city
and when all is complete and winter:
frosts shall have given place to the sun
light and warmth Of summer the charm
of the scene will be such that the impress
sion it conveys will be we'll worth storing

height of seventy feet, and the basin of
the court of fountains, with its fountains
and cascades, as well as the plaza and
esplanade and surrounding buildings, will
be grandly Illuminated with these same
ineandescent lights. employed in such
way as to intensity the charm of the
whole magnificent scheme. To give some
adequate idea of the scale upon which
this illumination is to be conducted, it
may be mentioned that about 400 miles
of wire will be used in the insulation of
the lamps in and around the court Of
fountains, comprising in all about 25O
tons of copper wire of all sizes. The cleo
trie energy for the production of this
vast illumination will be obtained in part
from Niagara Falls, which is to furnish
5,000-horse power and 5,OOO-horse power
will be generated on the grounds. 1t is
claimed by the management that the
Pan-American Exposition will enjoy the
advantage Of greater resources Of power
than has been possessed by any fair in
the past.
New departures are being made in ev-
cry direction by the Pan-American man
agement. Even its exhibit Of the fine
arts will be on unique and original plan.

OF everything of an art character in the
entire universe, but will be exclusively

Rural Guest at Hotel Tells Employees

Colonel Eden, proprietor of the Great
Northern hotel, stands sponsor for the
following story; A few days ago an old
man and his son registered at the hotel.
They were undeniably from the rural
districts, and they looked With wonder
at the electric lights and the hurry and
hustle OF big hotel. They We're ap-
palled at the cable cars that moved
without any apparent motive power,
and the tall buildings they regarded
with feelings evidently akin to awe.
The father and son remained three
days at the hotel The first night they
retired at the time they observed in the
country, which was about $50 o'clock.
The following night the boy, who pro
badly wanted to taste Of the pleasure
of city life by gaslight, was out until
after midnight and his father was very
uneasy.
Up and down the rOtunda walked the
old man. He would approach the desk
and begin to say something to the clerk,
change his mind and walk away faster
than he had come. The two were talk
