The publication bears the foot note:
Boston, printed and sold by Samuel
Green, Jr.'
William q. shlllaber. Secretary Of the
Club Of Odd Volumes, under whose super
vision a fac simile of the original copy at
the State House has recently been pro-
duced, has called attention to an inter-
esting fact not generally known in con-
nection with the origin of the American
newspaper.
During the last sixty or seventy years
Of American history a custom existed
among public-splrited and influential men
OF keeping each other informed on pub
lie affairs by means OF communications
known as newsletteFs, in their own hand
writing. These newsletters we're handed
about from one to another, the recipient
often circulating several copies of spe-
etnc letter. where the interest in it war
ranted the labor of making a number Of
copies of the original.
This led to the adoption Of the name Of
The Newsletter for the first newspaper
regularly published, which was started in
Boston In 1904. 1t was apparently the re-
ceipt of several of these manuscript
newsletters from London, and wide
spread interest In the matters of which
they treated, that suggested to Samuel
Green. Jr., then the leading printer Of
Boston, to print them together rather
than copy them separately in manuscript,
as had been the custom.
For three or four years prior to the
date Of this publication New England had
been possessed Of a revolutionary spirit
as violent as that which Immediately pre-
ceded the outbreak Of the rebellion

OLD NEWSPAPERS.
Controversy Concerning Origin Of
American Press.


People in Boston, with a taste for the
curious. have opened a discussion con-
corning the first newspaper printed In this
country, says The New York Times, and
a controversy now RACES among certain
antiquarians regarding the matter. An
ancient news sheet. bearing the title The
Present State of the New English Az
fairs" has been called by some antigua
rians the first newspaper ever printed in
America, though the correctness of that
designation is questioned by others.
There is no evidence that a second num-
Der Of the publication was ever printed,
and DIR. Samuel A. Green, librarian of
the Massachusetts Historical Society and
a high authority on such questions, says
it is not properly a newspaper, but a
broadside, which is defined as an occa-
sional publication, printed on but one
side Of piece of paper.
newspaper, he says. is always num-
bered and dated. The sheet is not num-
bered. and the date is confined merely to
the year He states however, that. be-
ing a printed newsletter, It represents
one phase in the evolution Of the news
paper.
The only known copy Is preserved in
the Massachusetts State archives at the
State HouseIt measures 8 by 10 inches
and embodies letters or excerpts from
letters received in Boston in 1889 from

A New Industry Which Is Doing
Wonders in the Jewelry Trade.

"A new industry has grown up in this
country In the last few years" down.
town jeweler told a reporter for The
New York Sun. 1T is the treatment and
setting of crystals and minerals partly
as limitations Of real precious stones and
partly as art objects and ornaments
which do not pretend to be any other
than they are simply pretty things. The
extent of this industry and the success
of its products can hardly be realized by
any one outside the jewelry trade.
Chemistry plays an important part in
the industry 1t is remarkable what
beautiful effects can be secured with a
bit Of quartz by chemist who has stud
led this phase OF mineralogy. There is,
for instance, the so-called golden opal
which is not an opal at all. It is made
by boiling a chalcedony, which Is merely
species of quartz. in honey, then in
solution of chromate of lead, and finally
baking 1t in hydrochloric acid kept at
moderate heat for few weeks.
In the same way deep red carnelians
are produced by skillfully burning the
pale or dull chalcedonies. Black agate,
popular for mourning jewelry. is made by
similar methods. Other colors and stripes
are obtained by boiling chalcedony in
such solution as blood and water sugar
and water and molasses and water, and
after 1t has absorbed these boiling It in
sulphurlc acid, Agates are easily con-
verted into onyx-like substances which
lapidaries use for canoes and intaglios.
Any colored onyx can be obtained by
simple chemical processes. In fact, mod
ern chemistry has produced such changes
In stones and minerals that it is possible
to initiate many of them and improve
upon all but very few.
Not only can the whole stone be made
to change its color. but sections and
lines of 1t can be made to assume a red
black, yellow or white or black. Rock
crystal, which is simply pure quartz IS
employed to a much greater extent than
ever before for initiating diamonds and
other precious stones. These can be cut
and polished to almost as rich a briIliancy
as the real stones though, of course,
they soon lose their luster and must be
recut to regain It,
Agate is used in many different ways
for ornamenting trinkets. Small but
beautiful amethysts are found in Penn
sylvania, Maine and North Carolina, and
in Wyoming are large masses Of moss
agate. In fact, chemistry applied to COM
paratively cheap minerals and skiIlful
treatment of them has made II possible
for people far from wealthy to possess
excellent imitation of jewelry which
themse Ives are almost priceless"

London Swsllows Yarn About the Cred

After hearing from returning Eng

to believe anything in London about
the plausibility OF the American con
man, and the gullibility of his vic
tins. A particularly tough yarn mas
lust gone the rounds OF the London
papers about Il gathering OF Kansas
farmers who contributed $500 apiece
to a venerable person who had IA pro-
cess for extracting gold from gold
fish.
According to this yarn the venerable
person with the glib tongue ana the
gold extracting process met the farm
ers at the Aquarium. He conhded 10
them that through Il peculiar chemical
process in the goldfish's digestion dis
covered by him. several grains OF pure
gold are made and dissolved III its

The gold, of course. came out oil the
