PRECIOUS STONES.
The Method. by which They Are
Tested by Experts.

In lecture on precious stones re-
Gently delivered before the Industrial
association of Berlin, DR.. Emmanuel
Friedlaender said that the testing Of
diamonds is comparatively simple. The
common test for hardness suffices. II
the stone resists strong attacks, it is
certain to be genuine; IL it does not,
the damage is insignificant, as only an
Imitation has been destroyed. This
test, however, is doubtful with rubies.
II ruby can be affected by a steel
file or by quartz, 1t is surely not gen.
uine, but such test with a topaz is
liable to injure a. valuable stone.
The test for hardness is Of no avail
with emeralds, as this stone is not
much harder than quartz and In addi-
ton possesses the quality of cracking
easily.
For examining rubies and emeralds
the optical test is best. A glass mag
nifying about 100 times suffices. Ev-
cry expert knows that almost all pre-
cious stones have little flaws. Nearly
every ruby and all emeralds have
many defects. which are so character
tstic that the genuineness of the stones
Is readily established. Such test is
very necessary with rubies, because
the limitations are very deceiving.
Their color is absolutely durable and
often much finer than that of the gen.
uine, although it may be stated that O
somewhat yellowish tint is always sus-
picious.
The only reliable way in which gen.
uine rubies can be told from limitations
is by the minute air bubbles of the lat
ter, which become clearly visible I'M
der the magnifying glass. These are
not to be found in the natural gem.
On the other hand, the limitations lack
certain defects characteristic Of gen.
uine rubies-certain vacuums, whose
outlines are much more indistinct than
those Of the air bubbles in limitations.
True emeralds have similar charac-
teristic defects. such us Enclosures of
liquids and curious dendrites. Sap
phires also show peculiar netlike for

rwent, Lost COLD Mines.

Twenty Lost Gold Mines.
There are az least 20 lost gold mines
In various parts of the world. Many,
Of them have yielded rich ores and
then have been deserted and entirely
lost.
There is one in the north of the
Transvaal, for instance, that was dis
covered by accident in the eighties by
two Englishmen. The finders had en-
camped one night and had, as they
thought, securely tethered their horses
when they suddenly heard loud neigh
from one Of the animals aud moment
later saw them both racing away ap-
parently in the greatest terror.
Soon after dawn they were up and
after an hours tramp found one of the
poor beasts lying on the ground with a
broken leg. In its struggles 1t had
kicked up the ground and had exposed
rich gold quartz only a few inches be-
low the surface.
The two men marked the spot and
returned to the district a month later
to start work on the mine. But in
spite of all their efforts they could not
find the place, and to this day the mine
has not been rediscovered.
In the late seventies there was ire
mendous excitement in California
when prospector described gold
mine he had found. A party soon pre-
pared to set out, with the discoyerer of
the mine as guide. but the mine has
never been discovered, though thou
sands Of dollars have been spent in
prospecting for it.-Stray Stories.

The Honorable Board.

Sam Rawson occasionally said a good
thing, and one of these occasions chanc-
ed to be the town meeting. The PEG.
pie Of Sans village could not under
stand how the money appropriated for
the roads had vanished with such poor
results.
A stretch of road running past Sans
house was In notoriously poor condi-
ton, although Sam declared that he
had paid literally to have 1t put in
good order, and there was general in
terest when Sam rose to make his state
ment before the selectmen.
''I'd just like to say one thing" he
drawled, needless Of the fact that he
had interrupted an indignant neighbor.
II don't want to make any fuss, but
I'd just like to ask the honorable board
Of highwaymen"-
That was as far as he could get. A
roar OF laughter swept over the town
meeting and showed Its effects In the

behring's seemed to traverse Langdon's
frame, and his sobs grew feeblers He
moaned YEARLY at intervals, and the
steward was sent on the run with q
note to DR.. Armistead and an order for
certain restOratives from the hospital.
1t seemed an age before he returned.
Langdon lay in semicollapse when ut
last his step was heard, and the doctor
had felt compelled to administer table
spoonfuls of brandy.
what on earth kept you?" demand
ed he angrily. 81 could have gone
there and back a dozen times"
$50 could I, sir, but / couldn't find
DIR. Armistead anywhere. The patrol
coming in from the station said they
saw him in civilian dress going out at
the gate"
Impossible" sharply retorted Blood
good. "He couldn't leave the post
without my consent. Drop the medi-
cine and so to the colonel's and see II
he's there. I cannot leave this case for
two hours. He'll have to look out for
the others, and I've got some instruc-
tions to give him."
But when the steward returned from
the commanding officers 1t was with
message that startled both the post
surgeon and the two officers present.
'"The colone's compliments, sir, and
he says that sudden emergency called
DR.. Armistead to town. The colonel
had a note from him and sent back his
permission, but he supposed of course
that the post surgeon had also been
consulted"
There was silence for moment.
Bloodgood looked wonderfhgly at the
steward, finally nodded toward the
door, and the man understood and left
the room. Bloodgood closed the door
behind him, and then Nelson spoke i'm
petuously as ever:

stead could be cowardv
And then Langdon began to murmur.

guish his dead wlfe's name.

A Saving aual,ty.

Gilbert White, the naturalist, was
once university proctor, and of his
performance Of the office this anecdote
Is told: ION his rounds one evening
White discovered an undergraduate ~
ing on the ground, sleeping the sleep Of
into1ication, with his outer garments
removed and neatly folded up at his
side. The proctor awoke him and sent
him to his college with an order to
appear the next day for Judgment.
The culprit turned up in a highly con-
trite frame Of mind. White said to
him: You deserve an exemplary pun
ishment, but observed one circum-
stance which shows you are not wholly
degraded. Your clothes were folded
up by your side, indicating habits Of
care and neatness which appear in-
compatible with hnbitual degradation.
l shall therefore say no more.'"

1t is interesting to recall that, Just
as Edward VII of England chose his
second baptismal name us the one by
which he wished to be designated
when he mounted the throne, SO like
wise his great-uncle, William Henry,
would have preferred to be known as
Henry TX. One of the reasons for this
preference was the desire to establish
lawful right to title which had al
ready been arrogated by the cardinal
Of York, the last Of the Stuart pre-
tenders. When the question, however,
came up for discussion in the privy
council, the latter decided in favor Of
King William Nv. This story was told
by the king himself to Miss Helen
Lloyd. the governess of his children.
He added that the privy council was
moved to this choice partly by fear of
exciting the superstitious fears of the
populace, who still bore in their men,
DRY prophecy dating from the seven
teenth century, which runs as follows:
Henry the Eighth pulled down monks and their
Henry the Ninth shall pull down bishop. and
bells.

SOUTHERN MoUNTAINEERs,


s@.S
1t is odd to think that the southern
mountaineer was not discovered until
the outbreak Of the civil war, although
he was nearly century old then, and
1t is really startling to realize that
when one speaks Of the southern noun
taineers he speaks of nearly 100000
people who live in eight southern
states-Virginia and Alabama and the
southern states between-and occupy
q region equal In area to the combined
areas Of Ohio and Pennsylvania, as
big, say, as the German empire, and
richer, perhaps. In timber and mineral
deposits than any other region Of SIM
liar extent In the world. This region
was and is an unknown land. 1t has
been aptly called Appalachian Amerl-
ca, and the work Of discovery is yet
going on.
The American mountaineer was dis
covered, say, at the beginning of the
war, when the Confederate leaders
were counting on the presumption that
Mason and Dixon's line was the divid-
ing line between the north and south
and formed, therefore, the plan of
marching an army from Wheeling to
some point on the lakes and thus dis
severing the north at one blow. The
plan seemed SO feasible that 1t is said
to have materially aided the sale Of
Confederate bonds in England, but
when Captain Garnett, West Point
graduate, started to carry 1t out he got
no farther than Harpers Ferry. When
he struck the mountains, he struck en-
emies who shot at his men from am
bush. cut down bridges before him,
carried the news of his march to the
Federals, and Garnett himself fell
with bullet from mountaineer's
squirrel rifle at Harpers Ferry.-ScrIb-
