BEAUTIFUL NEW GEM.

1t is Called Kunzite and Has Lilac
Tint.
Among the rather scanty production
of American gems up to the present
time, it is source of national interest
to note the discovery and growing use
of such beautiful and valuable stone
as kunzite. In color it ranges from
white with pink tinge, through pink, to
dark lilac. When pink, it is one of the
few natural stones of that color. AS a
lilac gem it stands alone. To the beau
ty of kunZite and to the value due to
Its rarity is added its value to science.
Under the action of electricity, and OF
ultraviolet, and Rontgen rays, it takes
on the most beautiful osphorescence,
glowing for many minutes. and capable
of clear and distinct autophotographs.
That these properties of response to
radio activity are shared by only two
other gems-eertain kinds of diamonds
and willemite-gives kunzite peculiar
interest to scientists.
For many years specimens of spodu-
meme, of which kunzite is variety,
have been found in parts of New Eng
land. The crystals We're large, but
dull. They showed traces of a lost
beauty. Some specimens from western
Massachusetts, showed remnants of an
original beautiful green. In Conneeti-
cut, under a completely altered exteri-
or, were sometimes found eenters of a
rich lilac. These facts led to the term
"a defunct gem; and also to the search
for its possible unspoiled existence
elsewhere. That it SO far had never
| been discovered in its original beauty
| had given ii the name or spodumene,
| from the Greek word for ashes.
| The search first succeeded In North
Carolina, where, In 1881, clear, bright
green crystals were found, small but
perfect. This variety is known as
Eiddenite, from the finder, W. p, Hid
den. Within two years, crystals of mo-
BILE size have been found in San Diego
county, Cal They are Of a delicate
rosy lilac or amethystine tint, Hat
stones as large as a mans hand, per-
fectly clear, and Of great brilliancy.
These have been named kunzite, be-
cause of the valuable researches into
their nature made by George F. Kunz
In the report of the department of the
interior for 1903, he. had an article on
THE Production, of Precious Stones in
1908" In this many of the facts about
the occurrence, and scientific value Of
kunzite are set forth. AS a GEM it has
been cut and sold for about a year.
The stones weigh from one to one hun
bred and fifty karats, and have varied
| in price from six to. twenty dollars per
karat. The report indicates that more
facts of peculiar interest may be ex-
pected about this lilac gem. Washing

Hall.
There We're things doing in Prindle
alley and Fair street late last night
and the denizens of the neighborhood
We're treated to considerable excitement
during the course of which knives
were drawn and revolver shots fired.
The trouble originated in the famous
dive or italian lodging house in which
Officer McKeon was killed at - Prindle
alley. 5.tl,a +.s.,.
The house was occupied last night by
a band OF which the police call, pam
handlers" The cause of the fight was
some ancient fued between some of the
inmates. 1t was carried on not only in
the house but on the street. and for a
while it was fast and furious Suddenly
some one cried '.Police!'' and into the
house scampered the contestants.
The police did arrive and raided the
place under the direction of Detective
Ward. The officers who participated
with the detective were Wrinn, Coon
an, McManus, Turbet, and Sessler.
when lHey got lIlSlue JdHleS j. ftO-
wan and Patrick Markley claimed that
they had been driven out of the place.
They also claimed that Michael Luby
had drawn a knife and that John J..
Hill had fired three shots with re-
volver, although none of the contest
ants showed any marked from either.
The police arrested the following
men, all of whom claim no permanent
home at the present time. but gave the
places where they last lived Joseph

Luby, the old time burglar from this
city, idleness and breach Of the peace.
At the police station Lynch accused
Markley of being the one who set fire
to the city hall in Meriden, and said
that he saw him there just before the
fire started. The police take but little
stock In the story.
