noxnI nnd Lnngunge.

The Pail Mall Gazette says It stin
remains q mystery how the chief Eng
dish authorities in church and state
ever succeeded in crowning King
George /. Having come fresh from his
native Hanover, the first monarch Of
the Brunswick dynasty was to his new
subjects little better than Melanesian
from the south seas. Not a word OF
English could he muster while the
chief officials were almost equally Is
norant Of German. Latin, therefore,
had to be resorted to as being the one
possible medium of communication be-
tween them. A highly popular joke
originated from these singular pre-
ceedlngs. which stated that an I'M
mcnse amount Of bad language hac
passed between the king and his min
listers on the great day.

JEWEL MALADIES
Precious Stones That Are Subject to
Serious ChaDgey

The decoloration Of precious stones
when they have been exposed the
air for a long time is considered one of
the most frequent maladies. Among
the colored stones, the emeralds, ,srubies
and sapphires are those which remain
intact best. Nevertheless, ,theygare not
exempt from changes, as has. been
proved by many experiments recently
made in Paris. Two rubies OF the same
size and shade were kept for two years,
one in a showcase and the otheriaway
from all light At the end'of. this term
q comparison revealed that the first
had become somewhat lighter in color.
The Influence Of light makes itself
felt more plainly on topazes and gar
nets. The garnet turns much paler in
a short time, while the topaz assumes
a darker shade and even loses the bril-
liancy possessed by 1t when freshly
cut
The most sensitive stone in this re-
spect is the opal. This stone draws it's
marvellous rainbow reflections from
numerous little clefts which allow the
light to pass and reflect it in different
directions. Often the opal stands the
manlpulations of cutting and polishing
well, and all of a sudden it splits. II
suffers always by excess OF heat. Ow-
ing to It's chemical composition it is
sensitive to all the changes Of tempera-
ture.
Pearls deteriorate very easily. In the
fire they are transformed into a piece
of lime. Placed in contact with an acid.
they behave as lime or marble would
under the same conditions. 1t some
times happens that during the work, if
the hand touching them is very sweaty,
they lose their luster or break, being
attacked by the acid of the perspira.
| ton.
Since pearls are composed Of concen-
trio layers Of mother of pearl, it is
sometimes possible to repair them by
taking off the outer layer but this
operation Is extremely difficult and
delicate. If the interior colors are in.
jured there IS no remedy.
Diamonds are less sensitive: still II
is not prudent to take them too near
the fire.-Jewelers' Circular Weekly.

FIsh That Change Color.

1t has been found that certain
prawns. common along the coasts Of
England. change their color at least
twice every "a hours in order to har-
monize with the stronger or weaker
light prevailing near the surface or in
the deeper water. AS evening ap-
proaches these fish lose their distinctive
day colors, and all assume a transpar'
ent azure hue. The change begins with
a reddish glow. followed by a green
tlnge which gradually melts into blue.
The day and night change has become
so habitual that specimens kept in per
peiuai light or perpetual darkness new
