Automobiline IN Enrone.

IL is estimated that there were a
Europe 5000 American touring pan
ties in automobiles during the sum
mer, concerning which the following
observations are made by one OF our
consuls:
Each car carries on an average
five persons, making a total of 10000
Americans motoring on the Contl-
nent. The expense will average $40
per day for each person, making a
daily expenditure by this class of
American travellers in Europe of
100000.
The American motorist usually
spends two months on the Continent,
which brings the aggregate expendl-
ture up to $24.O0O,OOO for the sea-
son. So great is the number of
American automobiles on the Conti-
nent that the transport of motors
Iacross the Atlantic has become a
regular and specialized business. A
properly equipped touring car is a
private train and yacht combined.
The traveller can go north, sonth east
or westS when he wishes, stop as
many days as he wishes at one point,
and has no need to worry about
tickets or luggage.
Motor tourists on the Continent
are brought much more into touch
with national life than the railway
traveller, who passing through Eur.
ope on a train de luxe, from one
hotel de luxe to another, finds all
Europe alike, sees nothing of nation
al costume or habit, and hears little
except his own language.
The great interest in motoring in
all parts of the world, and especially
In using automobiles as a means OF
-rayel as we'll as pleasure by Ameri- /
cans In Europe, will furnish addi- |
iional stimulus to the trade and an
Incentive to American manufactur-
'rs to meet the demand for and COM

low like the topaz, the blue crystals
had become green like emerald and
theviolet had turned to blue like the
sapphire.
Thus was overthrown the theory
held hitherto by scientists that each
of these precious stones has It's own
special coloring oxide, and that these
several oxides-green, blue, red or
yellow-have no definite relation to
each other.
Professor Bordas, as the published
accounts relate, took his newly
created gems to leading lapidary
jcweler, from whom he had pur-
chased the corundnm crystals, who
identified and tested them and found
that they had been converted into
a topaz, ruby and q sapphire which
filled all the tests and requirements
of natural stones.
He then obtained from the same
ieweler new series of corundum
crystals in pairs, each pair of an ex-
actly similar color. One stone of
each pair was exposed for a month to
the action of radlum, the other re-
tanned for comparison, and the result
of this second experiment was the
same as before. The light reddish
|corundum, valued in commerce at
about so cents per carat, had been
converted into a ruby valued at 800
to $3.50 per carat. The dark-red
|corundum became a deep brilliant
ciolet, the violet amethyst had be-
come a sapphire, and the blush
corundum a topaz.
The possible effect OF this dIscov-
cry upon the trade in jewelry and
precious stones can be readily in
ferred.
Radium is as let one of the rarest
and most precious substances known
to science, but the duration of its
powers is practically unlimited, and
since one milligram (0.0-54 grain)
Of radium is sufficient TO convert sew
eral corundum crystals into precious
stones within the space of a month,
and since this process may be re-
Deatedly with this speck of radium,
L is naturally, though perhaps pre-
naturely, assumed, that this latest |
discovery may have an important in
lustrial value and lead TO serious
notifications in the commercial
,rices OF certain precious stones.
Professor Bordas, however, re-
,ards his discovery as a mere labora-
ory experiment and disclaims any

LABORATORY
EXPERIMENTS
WITH GEMS

The scientific sensation of the mo
ment in Paris is the fact, which 4
profusely announced in the news
papers, that Professor Frederick
Bordas OF the college of France hol
succeeded, after long and patient ex
pertinent, in producing precious
stones by exposing the coarse ordi
nary form of crys.alllzed alumnla
known as corundum or adamantinC
spar to the action OF radlum.
The possibility that this process
may be used industrially for the pro-
duotion Of certain kinds OF precious
stones at cost which will seriously
modify the present market values OF
the natural gems invests the subject
with so much interest that brief re-
port may prove OF value.
IL will be remembered that all
these gems are In composition crystal

posure TO varying conditions OF heat
and pressure during the slow cool

complished in a comparatively brief

The present discovery OF Professor,
Bordas was suggested by the fact
that the minute glass tubes in which
radium is confined and kept for
scientific use take on gradually
beautiful azure color resembling the
sapphire. This was attributed by
Professor Berthelot TO the presence
OF minute traces OF manganese in the
glass, which the marvellous projec-
tive power Of the radium reveals and
reyives with varying grades and tints
OF coloration. Professor Bordas,
