MAKING PRECIOUS STONES.
Chips of the Ruby Turned Into Stones
of Commercial Size---Are Pro
nounced Genuine.

Rudolph Oblatt a chemist and ex-
pert on precious stones, is reported 20
have invented a process for the fusing
of PARTICLES OF ruby, known as ruby
waste, into stones Of a commercial
size. The stones which he has pro-
duced have received considerable at
tention from local biologists and are
pronounced genuine. He selects, says
the New York Commercial, from the
small, rough. genuine ruby particles
whose colors and qualities are prac-
tically the same. One chip he places
upon the top of a U-shaped platinum
tube. He then applies the heat, which
is concentrated by a special process
and forced upon the ruby with an air
pressure of 500 pounds. AS the chip is
melted he adds other chips until he
has built up genuine ruby whose
weight varies from FIVE to ten carats.
The operation requires from one to two
hours.
After the ruby has been produced a
difficult task remains--that of cooling
of the stone, which is at a tremendous
heat This is accomplished by sci
entihc process which prevents cracking
The ruby is sent to the precious-stone
cutters, where it passes exactly
through the same process as a stone
from the Burmah mines.

BULL LEADER FAILED
Panic on Floor of New York
Cotton Exchange.
CAUSED BY D. ]. sULLY SUSP NSIOu
Was Thought to Have Made Millions
Recently In Great Upward Move
ment In Price of Bale Cotton,
But Has Lost Five Millions.

NEW NOEk, March 19.--Daniel j.
Sully, the cotton bull leader, has sus.
pended. Immediately after the suSpen'
sion was announced there was u panic
on the floor of the exchange, in which
cotton dropped from $50 to 2S3 points.
Members of the firm, employees and
counsel for the company were busy at
the cOmpany's offices far into the night
trying to get affairs in such shape that
a statement could be made public. All
inquiries brought the same answer
that not until the firms accounts had
been gone over could any information
be obtained.
Mr.. Sully, when seen for moment,
said that he wished il distinctly I'M
de stood that his firm has not made
an assignment. He declared that when
the firms affairs have been untangled
he will. be able TO pay dollar for dollar.
To do this he must have time to realize.
he said. He said the firm will undoubt-
eddy resume business.
With Mr.. Sully was George II. Nc
Fadden of the Philadelphia firm of
George II. McFadden & Bro, who
is said to have sold much cotton to Mr.
Sully He was said to be assisting
in the preparation of the schedule for
settlement
a member Of the Cotton Exchange
estimated Mr.. Sully's total holdings at
100000 bales. on which his loss in the
last week or ten days probably was in
excess Of $5.0O0,OOO
Sully is also member of the Stock
Exchange and his failure was announc-
ed there. The announcement came as
a complete surprise, but caused only Il
slight decline.
The stock market held firmly at first,
as many traders supposed that the firm
was one of the many on the short side
of the market Ii is stated, however,
by friends of the firm that it has prac-
tically no outstanding contracts on the
Stock Exchange Its business was all
cleared
There followed promptly liquidation
Of long stocks which might come out
at any time. but which did not do so
as the market showed nothing but
strength.
Sales were estimated at 100000
bales 1t is understood that the Sully
contracts outstanding Will be settled
on the basis of today's average price.
The announcement of the suspension
had but little effect on the coffee mar
ket in which Sully is interested
