On card In OF the dead mans pockets

Easy Tests For Diamonds.

There are various effective methods
of testing the genuineness of diamonds
Cover the stone with a little borax
paste, heating it In the fame of q
lamp burning spirits of wine and then
throw it in glass Of cold water. If
the stone is an imitation it will break
into a thousand pieces, while the true
diamond will remain intact.
On a diamond which has been well
cleaned and carefully dried let fall one
drop of water. Touch this drop Of wa
ter with the point Of a needle. If the
stone is false the water will spread
or dispense, while with the real stone
the drop of water will retain its spher-
ical form.
Throw the stone you wish to detect
into q glass of water. A diamond Is
perfectly distinct, whereas the imita-
ton mingles with the hue of the water
In such way as TO be almost invisi-
BILE. Fluorhydric acid has no action on
