q Remarkable Traveller.

A remarkable traveller has just ar
rived at Cork, Russian Cossack, who
is journeying around the world on
foot. He left his home on the slopes
of the Caucasian Mountains in 1892,
and set out on tramping expedition
with the determination Of seeing the
people and the countries OF the world,
having been filled with this desire
from reading books Of travel. During
the nine years he has been in Central
Asia, Siberia. Manchuria, Korea,
Japan, India, Persia, Turkey and the
Southern countries of Europe. He
was in Paris during the recent exhibi-
ton there, and subsequently came
over to LONDON. He has yet to visit
America, Australia and Africa. In
the course of his wanderings he has
experienced many strange adventures.
He has gone days without food, and
was obliged ., make some Of his sea

Veneered Diamonds.

Every one is aware that when real
diamonds are cut quantity of fine
dust is given off which is apparently
valueless. But lapidaries collect the
sweepings from the table and sell
them to the makers OF artificial gems
at $50 per pound who purify them
with acid that destroys everything
but the pure diamond dust. This is
mixed with another acid and placed
under enormous pressure, which re-
suits In sheets of diamond dust as
thin as paper being given off.
The faces of the sham stone are
then covered with transparent cement
and n layer of diamond paper laid
upon them. When dry the false
jewels, veneered with the real dust,
are so similar to the genuine stones
that they are often set in pure gold,
but no one bul an expert can detect
the difference and then only with tho
aid Of powerful magnifying glass.
This is, of course, the most expensive
artificial gem made, inasmuch as one
that has been properly venecred can
not be purchased for less than $3.50.
