SHAM DIAMONDS.

TA~y Are More Common Than To
Generally Imagined.
A point in favor of the diamond is
that its imitation is more or less easy
of detection. A real diamond cannot
be touched with q file, and false one.
though it can be made to scratch
glass, will not cut quartz. Its brillian-
cy also fades, while the real diamond
is. absolutely permanent 1t reflects
all the light falling on its posterior sur
face at an angle Of incidence greater
than "a degrees 13 minutes, but its
counterfeit only reflects half this light.
But the imitation of the diamond
may be more common than is imag-
ined. There is a good story of one of
the famous M. Bourguignon's custom
els. A lady went into the well known
Paris atelier of sham gems and asked
the price of parure In exact imitation
Of the one she produced. "Was M.
Bourguignon sure that the imitation
would be perfect? Had he observed the
peculiar beauty and purity of the
stones?" The reply came: BE calm,
madame. The same workman shall
have the job. You may rely upon an
exact counterpart of his former work."
Pulverized quartz is used for these
stones, and 1t is supplied in the sand
from the forests of Fontainebleau.
Hundreds of men and numbers of wo-
men and girls are employed in the
Bourguignon business. and they make
not only diamonds. but pearls, emer-
aids, rubies and sapphires. The girls
line the false pearls with fish scales.

1t appeared that Elsie had achieved q

he was an object of sympathetic in

there. for they supposed that he must
have some near relative at the point or

His pockets and his hands were full
of newspapers, and they were to a con-

condition The marvellous delineative
power Of the modern press had been
rxerted upon the mystery Of Elsie Mil

when she had spoken Of it as so abso-

was told from fifty points of view. and
ever the stately and beautiful figure Of
Brenda Maclane moved through it like

No one accused Brenda of the small
