Paris. April a4.-Science has come to the
stones have peculiar sympathy with
human character and bearing theron is no
idle superstitution A professor of the
Conservatory of Arts and Crafts says that
the mutual attraction of people and stones
is beyond dispute.
He throws cold water on the belief that
sapphires can open prison doors or that
diamonds make brave men invulnerable
But after three years experimental OBJ
servation he maintains that a preference
for certain jewels indicates certain tenn
;peramental qualities and even charac-
teristics of physicsnomy.
For instance, the ruby Invariably at
tracts people of dark eyes with long eve
.lashes.
The diamond ten1pts the blue-eyed who
boast long lashes.
And both blonde and brunette alike IL of
a nervous temperament yearn for emer-
aids.
Easy-going natures fall under the spell
of blue stones.
But more than all these scientific facts ia
the discovery that the sympathy of the
stone is a sure test of Its genuineness. No
matter how perfect artificial stones NAV
:bc, even though made from the dust of the
real, having undergone an unnatural
crystallization they do not possess the
subtle sympathetic attraction. When an
easy going woman turns the cold shoulder
on a turquoise collar. you may be positive
the turquoise is artificial.
