MAKING REAL JEWELS.
Artificial Rubies and EmeraIds
Have Commercial Value.

Artificial Rubies and EmeraIds
Have Commercial Value.
Something of real present interest to
dealers and the public alike is the sue
cess which has been achieved in the
manufacture of rubies. While The dia-
mond is the commonly accepted synonym
for value in a precious stone, the ruby,
which meets the proper requirements, is
much more valuable. When possessing
the real pigeon-blood color evenly dis
tributed and without flaw, the ruby is
worth from three to ten times as much
per carat as the diamond. This stone
therefore, is the favorite target for imi-
tation. And, as before stated, it is in
making rubies that the greatest skill
has been shown. Electricity has done
much for this art. A Frenchman-his
identity is secret to the world, and as
yet is known only by his works-has
learned to melt up small rubies, or frag-
ments of rubies, and fuse them into one
stone. The product is not an imitation
1t has all the chemical and physical
properties of the real thing. 1t is as
hard, has the saline specific gravity and
is genuinely beautiful in color
But say the jewellers, it is not genu-
inc. Such a stone is known to the trade
as reconstructed ruby. None but the
most expert can distinguish 1t from the
so-called real one. The eonnoisseur Will
admit that he distinguishes it by the alb
sence If flaws rather than by the pres
ence of defects. A reconstructed ruby is
apt to be too perfect.
The reconstructed ruby appeared on
the market about eighteen months ago.
All came from once source, a wealthy
dealer in Paris. At first the stones were
in great demand, and sold for $1o0
carat; but as the public gradually learn
that the stone was the combined result
of the work of nature and of man, the
demand fell Oft. The buyer felt that the
stone, made up of fragments fused in
an electric furnace, was not just the
same as 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 it. In
consequence the price has dropped to $50
a carat.

Board of Trade.

This wide-awake and progres.
sive body held a very interesting
meeting Wednesday night and
transacted quite a lot of import.
ant business. The first thing
done was to appoint committee,
consisting Of Messrs. J. A. Haas,
+. Charleville and M. Mcbride, to
raise funds for the purpose of
sprinkling one of our streets with
crude Beaumont oil, in order to
test its efficacy in laying the dust.
A vote Of thanks was rendered
to the ladies who had contributed
to the success of the flower pa
rade on July 4th.
Next, Mr.. J. r. Norman. presi-
dent of the Morgan State Bank,
of New Orleans, was authorized
and requested to wait upon the
proper railroad officials and de-
mand that a passenger coach be
placed on the freight trains run
ming between Lafayette and Che
NEVILLE, and, in case of refusal.
to make an appeal to the Railroad
Commission at its coming session
in behalf of the people living be-
tween those points on that road,
81 distance of about go miles. As
it is, passengers are not even al
lowed to ride on freight trains.
Then, a resolution was adopted
calling a mass meeting to be held
at the courthouse on Wednesday,
18th inst, for the purpose of
taking steps to erect rice mill
at Opelousas. Deep wells having
solved the problem of an adequate
water supply, it is confidently
predicted that the country sur
rounding Opelousas will soon
produce, as it did some years ago,
enough rice to supply several
such mills.
Finally, resolutions were adopt
ed submitting to the Board of
plan which, it is
hoped, will prove a satisfactory
solution of the long discussed
sidewalk question. Briefly stated,
the plan is this: Whenever the
owners of two-thirds of the prop
erty fronting on any block shall
petition the Board of Aldermen
to that effect, the town will cause
proper sidewalks to be put down
on said block and pay one-third of
the cost thereof; said sidewalks
to be built of brick or cement in
certain designated districts, and
of brick, cement, wood or other
materials in other certain
designated districts, at the option
of said owners, and to be con-
structed with due regard to uni
formity, under the supervision of
an officer appointed by the Beard.
We think this is an excellent
plan and hope to see it adopted
at once.
The Board is on the right road.
Let it press forward, and old
Opelousas will "come out of the
ashes" ret.
