ent sizes and shades substituted. In
the set are thirty additional stones,
many of them mounted with white
tourmalines and beryls. The necklace
has been valued by experts at $4,000.
1t has been greatly admired in Europe
and was exhibited at the Paris exposi-
ton in 1889, and shown in the Tiffany
display at the Worlds Fair in Chicago
in 1893.
In addition to the necklace the col
lection contains cross and two ear
drops. The former is composed of six
of the finest and rarest tourmalines in
existence, the stones being about three
carats each, of various colors. The
ear drops are of pink and green tour
malines, set with beryls. Although
the necklace never has been out of the
possession of the Hamlin family, it is
believed that eventually it will find a
place in the valuable collection of
Maine tourmalines now at Harvard.

Tourmaline, the Gem
That Defies C0unterfeiters

There are not many necklaces
which, in addition to being the envy
of society queens the world over and
rivalling the crown jewels of royalty,
have the distinction that every one
came from the mine owned by the
family of the possessor of the regal
ornament. Such priceless parure is
the property of a Boston school girl,
Miss Elinor Cutting Hamlin, grand
daughter of DR.. Augustus Choate Ham
lin and grandniece of the late Han
nibal Hamlin, vice president of the
United States. 1t is composed of tour
malines taken from the famous Mount
Mica mine, at Paris, Maine, which has
been owned by the Hamlin family for
nearly one hundred years.

The gem tourmalines are found only
in a few localities. They have been
discovered in Maine, Connecticut, Cal
ifornia and North Carolina, in Ameri-
ca, and also in Russia, Brazil and Cey-
Ion. The crystals are usually in the
form of long, slender prisms, and fire.
quently have the popularity of being
differently colored in different por-
tions. Some of the prisms are red at
one end and green at the other, while
others show different shades in cross
sections, with a blue center, then a
band practically colorless, which later
changes to green, shading off into red.
The stone is of great interest to
mineralogists, who have found it
worth a great deal of study.
Leading jewellers believe that the
tourmaline is destined to become very
popular with women who are fond of
jewels. They take the ground that
this gem is natures own attempt to
initiate the emerald, the ruby and the
sapphire and that no combination of
paste can perform the feat so success
fully. On the Maine tourmalines the
prices range from $40 to $12 per carat
for ordinary stones, but the finer spe-
cimens, of course are held at much
higher figure.

they brought it to light, and later
found it to be beautiful green tour
maline. A fall of snow that night
prevented their returning and finding
more of the crystals, but the following
spring they came back and obtained
many fine stones. The locality has
been extensively worked since then,
and has furnished many beautiful
gems which have gone to adorn the
coronets of kings and enrich the min
eral cabinets of the greatest museums
in the world.
Although continually growing more
popular as jewel, the tourmaline is a
comparatively modern discovery, and
there attaches to it nothing of the halo
of antiquity, such as surrounds the
pearl or the ruby. Early in the eigh-
teenth century some children of Hol-
land, playing on warm summers
day in a courtyard with few bright
colored stones, noticed that they pos
sessed a strange power when warmed
by the heat of the sun. They attracted
and held ashes and straws. They re-
ported this discovery to their parents,
who could give no explanation of the
phenomenon, but at least showed their
appreciation of the popularity by call

a critical time when killing an in

ing the stones "aschentreckers," or
"ash-drawers,'' a name by which the
bright-colored pebbles were known for
a long time.
The stones undoubtedly came from
Ceylon, with which island the Dutch
at that time had considerable COM
merce. The lapidaries who had given
the children the stones for their play
things did not regard them as different
from the other gems with which they
were accustomed to deal. A green
stone was green stone to them, and
pink stone was pink stone. For
this reason it has been only in COM
paratively recent times that the tour
maline has been properly classified
from the standpoint of mineralogy.
To the present day, although tourma-
line is widely used in jewelry, it is
rarely called by that name.
The green varieties are known as
frequently as Brazilian emerald, chrys.
olite, or peridot, some varieties of the
blue as Brazilian sapphire and others
as indicolite, and the red as rubellite,
siberite and even as the ruby. It is
only in late years that these different
stones have been recognized as differ
ent varieties of a single mineral
species which is known by the name
tourmaline. This comes from the
Cingalese word turamali, which was
applied to the first tourmaline gems
sent from Ceylon to Holland.
In it's Opaque form, either black or
brown, the tourmaline is not rare. 1t
is found in certain varieties of gran.
lite and is mined in deposits of mica.
1t often forms in long, narrow prisms.
Tourmaline of other colors is often
! transparent, and this is of gem value.

OF South Dakota says that one even

ing this conundrum:
what is the difference between !,
man going out of doors in winter and
a tired dog?"
The answer is: "A man puts on an
overcoat, and the dog pants.''
Only two or three evenings later
the eldest daughter of the Chicagoan
set forth the same conundrum as
original, although Senator Pettigrew
sat beside her. When the people gave.
it up she told the answer:
"A man puts on an overcoat ans,
the dog puts on trousers"
Nobody laughed, and Senator Petit

be, man puts on an overcoat, and
the dog puts on pantaloons."

The Austrian Embassy in Washington

Baron Ambrosy, who in the absence ot
Baron Hengelmuller is looking after
the affairs of the dual kingdom,
would have performed this service,
for Baroness Hengelmuller herself de-
clared that Hannah was to be married
exactly as though she were the daugh-
ter of the house.
The bride and her small bridesmaid
and the latter's governess went to the
church in the baroness own motor
car, one of the most luxurious in Wash
ington, and after the ceremony re-
turned to the embassy for wedding
breakfast, which included the men,
.bers of the ambassadors household
and a score or more personal friends
of the bride and bridegroom, with sew
eral of Policeman O'Brien's relatives
from New York.
The company assembled in the EN-.
bassy drawing room, which has been
the scene of some of the most distin-
guished gatherings of this administra-
ton, andN the breakfast was served
from the same beautiful plate used in
the entertainment of ambassadors,
cabinet ministers, and the smartest of
Washington and New York society.
The wedding gown, like the rest OF
the trousseau, was gift from Han
nah's mistress, and was of white crepe
de chine, made princess with deep
V back and front of Irish lace The
sleeves are the modish mandarin top
with lace cuffs. The gown is built
Of white taffeta and was worn with
tulle veil and orange blossoms.
The travelling gown in which Mrs.
O'Brien left for New York in the after
noon was of blue cloth with smart hat
and furs.
Owing to an attack of rheumatism
which confined her to her room,
Baroness Hengelmuller was not able
to attend the ceremony at the church,
but was downstairs to breakfast long
enough to propose the brides health.

Future Copper States.

Two tons of average iron ore will
make one ton Of metal, but it takes
from SO to 10 tons of copper ore to
produce one ton of copper, says the
American Review of Reviews. Iron
ore occurs in every large deposit,
worked in some cases by steam SHOW
els, whereas copper comes from COM
paratively narrow veins or irregular
masses.
In 1882 the western states attained
prominence as copper producers. the
lakes supplying $4,000 long tons. Ari-
iona 5000 long tons and Montana A.
600 long tons Of copper. In 1887 Mon
tana was first in production and has
never been headed, with Arizona sec
ond and the Lakes third in 1905.
Before the civil war Tennessee was
the chief copper state. In 1895 that
state was credited with 1850 24
hounds of copper and 1881, 900
pounds last year: u. Utah ADDED 90
in 1903 and California 24,421, 900
pounds. Alaska sent to the smelter
100000 pounds of copper last year,
and Utah and Nevada are the largest
certain sources OF new supply.
