secure lasting youth. says the San

worth of his find Mr.. Bennett offers
his magniiicently preserved physique,
his clear eye and his muscular develop
ment.
Inc articles which have accom-
plished SO much for this experiment
are distilled water and olive oil.
Mr.. Bennett is fifty-two years old.
His appearance is that of man of
hopes of reaching los years before he
dies. a few days ago the discoverer
of the vehicles of perpetual youth was
as bald as billiard ball. The oil, ap-
piled to the top of his head, restored
the hair so that now there Is flowing

1t is Mr.. Bennett's theory that old
age and i'll health are caused by the
collection in the arteries and about the
joints of lime and clay sediments con-
tained In drinking water. This mineral
coating, he believes, interrupts the
proper circulation of the blood, pre-
vents the necessary irrigation of the
skin, produces stiffness of the joints
and dulls the action of the brain.
Distilled water and olive oil, one
used internally, the other externally,
are my elixirs of youth" declared Mr..
Bennett. ''They will counteract the
decaying conditions in the body. You
must drink large quantities of distilled
water and rub yourself with pure Cali
fornia olive oil. and take moderate
amount of exercise. That is the Sc
cret which my friends have SO long

In his experiments Garner made use
of the phonograph with good results.
With this instrument he recorded the
speech of twenty species of monkeys in
the geological gardens of the United
States, which he had visited for tw5

Prof. Richard Lynch Garner. who is
believed to have died of jungle fever
in Africa. was last heard from in the
French Congo country. where in 1S9.
he made his famous observations on
the speech and habits of the gorilla.
Prof Garner believed he had to some
degree mastered the speech of the great
anthropoids, but in any event the rec
ord of what he saw proved to be OF the
most thrilling interest.
Taking up his station in a great
Jungle 200 miles long and rs miles
wide. the professor built himself
steel cage. in which he could find pSr-
feet protection from the gorillas which
wandered his way. He made the friend
ship of Gabun, the native chief OF the
gorilla country and he won the respect
of the French authorities. For four
teen months he remained in the jungle
studying the habits of the large an
thropoids. He then explored con-
siderable portion of this part of At
rica. On his return in 1895 he -ub-
lished as one of the results of his ex-
plorations the conclusion that the
home of the gorilla in Africa lies In
the Jungle first mentioned and in no
other place. With him in his cage Mr..
Garner kept n chimpanzee, which he
used as a means OF lulling the suspi-
cions of the gorillas. From the chin
panzee he learned ten sounds. which
he memorized. These he used In ad-

THE MAKING OF SHAM JEWELS.
ingredients Used in Counterfeitinr
Precious Gems.

To meet the growing demand for arti-
fetal 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 chiefiy~used is glass. but
1t Is not the ordinary glass of commerce
II is prepared with the greatest care by
highly skilled artisans. for upon is clear
ness and perfect homoEeneity depend the
quality of the imitation gems. which are
lar superior to the cheap grade of cOun-
terfeits that rely on silver backings for
their lustre.
This glass can only be made from abso-
lGtely pure quartz, or, better still, from
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 1t
must also be chemically pure Other in
gradients of less Importance are borax.

quantity of arsenic.
The best glass for imitation gems con

Donate of potash. II per cent: oxide of
lead, 50 per cent; boraX, l per cent and
a trace of arsenic. Carefully prepared by
competent hands, this mixture produces
"A grade Of glass which in brilliancy and
iridescencr yields little to the genuine
diamond itself. and these qualities may
be fuTth enhanced by the substitution
Of potassium for the bicarbonatc of pot
ash and an increase of the quantity Of
Uafde of lead used.
Stones carefully made by this process
can only be distinguished from the genu-
inc by experts. This is true. however
only so long as they are new. for imita-
ton gems wear off. become blind, and
lose their fire with age, and it is to
remedy these defects that the efforts of
chemists are now directed.

GARMENTS OF cLERGYMEN.
Preachers No Longer at the Mercy
of Tailors.

From the New York Evening Postl
Up to within Few years ago clergymen
were Obliged to have their clothes made to
order. IL was a costly proceeding, as the
trade was confined to few hgh-priced
tailors, who had no hesitation in fleeing
their reverend patrons. The prices paid IN
those days for an ordinary suit ranged
item of expense in the minister's accounts
As the pulpit does not pay OVer-larSe sala-
ries the clothing bill was diSproportiopate
and the shabby-genteel clerical coat was
rather common. a welcomed revolution
was started when Il Broadway house some
time ago commenced the manufacture OF
clerical wardrobes on a large scale, and
United States and Canada. The firm re-
dueed- the prices just 80 per cent to the
great satisfaction of the profession.
The success of the company was so
speedy as to arouse rivalry. and today in
nearly every large city there are several
concerns which make n speciality of cleri-
cal clothing Beside the regular manutac-
also tailors who viii rent out clerical ap-
pa.el for special occasions. The INSTALL
ment men supply suits for the pastors CT
poor churches. missionaries, and other
workers with small but certain salaries
The dealers who hire out clothing do bus
mess chiefly with ministers who come TO
the city upon private business and have a
sudden call to perform some religious
function. They occasionally supply young
theological students who are asked to
ofiiciate in a church or chapel during the
summer when the regular incumbent is
away on his vacation. Competition has
increased to such point that a minister
as cheaply as business suit can be OBJ
