Easy Tests For DiamO nds.

There are various effective methods
Of testing the genuineness of diamonds.
Cover the stone with little borax
paste, heating it in the flame of d
lamp burning spirits of wine and then
throw it in glass Of cold water. If
the stone is an imitation it will break
into thousand pieces, while the true
diamond will remain intact.
On diamond which has been we'll
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 it's spher-
ical form.
Throw the stone you wish to detect
into glass of water. A diamond is
perfectly distinct, whereas the imita-
ton mingles with the hue Of the water
in such q way as to be almost invisi-

he found an Indian bow, such as they
used in hunting buffalo, with one end
broken off SO as to render it useless
This incident suggested the name of
Broken Bow for the postoffice, and the
