fact that these fisheries would be

This has gone on from bad TO

the referendum laws OF Oregon, all
fishing above tide water is forbidden

few fishes reach the spawning

Precious Stones and paste"

Glass. or paste" as it is called, Is
made which cannot when new be dis
tingushed from diamonds by any one
but an expert armed with the neces-
sary tests.
And the same is true as to paste imi-
tations Of all precious stones excepting
the emerald (whose beautiful green
tint cannot be exactly obtained, the
cats eye. which has peculiar hbrous
structure, and the opal. The real value
and quality Of precious stones as COM
pared with glass depend on their dura-
billy, their hardness. their resistance
to scratching and "dulling" Of face
and edge.
Even our Anglo-Saxon ancestors
made gems Of glass and paste. 1t Is
only in modern times that the art Of
making artificial precious stones" has
reached a degree Of perfection which,
so far as decorative purposes are con-
cerned, leaves the natural stones no
claim to superiority.-London Tele-
