An Age of Imitation.
q Indianapolis Star.

L
Imitation jewels are becoming so common
and of such sklful workmanship that
burglars are said to be very much dis
couraged The diamond is sad to be the
only stone that resists successful imitation.
and there are occasional reports that it is
being made artifcially If that can be done
the diamond will speedily lose it's rrec:ou
ness But mere imitation has not had the
effect of cheapening precious stones. On
the contrary. the market value OF those of
high quality has greatly increased. This in
turn has stimulated the imitation jewelry
Industry.
Rubies, sapphres. emeralds and pearls
are so successfully initiated that experts
find il difficult to detect the bogus gems.
Pearls are made of glass shells filled with
a substance called essence of the orient -
which is in fact composed of the minute
scales of fish called the "ablete" These
pearls are very difficult of detection. TIE
coloring of real pearls has also been
brought to high degree of perfection. and
artificial black pearls have been palmed off
for genuine ones at high prices.
The jewels OF watches used to be cal
jewels originally, but now they are seldom
so, and when they are they are chips or
defective stones. The average value of the
jewels of watch at present is about 10
cents each. Consequently they present no
temptation to 4 workman to put in substi-
tuteS.

NEW YORK, December I. 1906
There is a high-charging restaurant in
9Th avenue. the front door of which has
no key. The front door has never been
locked On the evening twenty-six years
ago when the proprietor of this res
taurant opened his place for business he
declared it open for all time. To clinch
this declaration he took the large brass
key which belonged to the front door and
gave it to a cabman with instructions to
toss it into the river.
The restaurant thus became the first
