A Perfect Stradivarius.
From the New York Times.

FROM Tue New 1oTk Times.
One hears frequent talk of Stradivarius
violins. particularly at auctions. but, as
q matter of fact, there is only one perfect
"Strad' violin in the world, and that
is owned by gentleman of Edinburgh.
For 1t he cheerfully paid $4,000. and
should it ever again be offered for sale
it will doubtless command a much higher
figure.
AS long ago as 1872 Charles Reade.
who knew almost as much about violins
as he did about literature, valued the
instrument a 96O0, putting the worth of
the varnish alone at R56o sterling. AT
that time it was owned by Villaume of
Paris. the greatest violin expert of the
age.s he kept it until his death in
1875. NJ. Aard, a wonderful violinst.
was the next owner. he paving f1,O0O for
ii. 1t was at his death that Mr. Craw
ford. the present owner. purchased it for
92OOO.
There is reason for this high valuation,
as this is the only instrument that has
come down from Stradvarius' own hands
in IL state of perfect preservation. The
rudy. glowing varnish is fresh as
though put on but a few weeks ago.

ARTIFICIAL RUBIES.
Large Trade in limitations That De-
ceive Experts.

From the New York Times
Artificial gems are the subject of I'M
usual controversy these days among the
importers and wholesale dealers In Maiden
lane, the worlds greatest jewelry mar
ket. In the stores and offices of the busy
little street in downtown New York the
dealers are talking frequently and earn
estl. as to the present and prospective
effects OF the remarkable limitations which
are now being offered to the dealers and
to the public.
1t is not Of the common limitations made
Of glass that the dealers are talking, but
Of the modern chemical triumph, the
synthetic stone, which Is the same in it's
constituents as the costly precious stone
found in nature. Everybody who pays
any attention to precious stones knows
that the chemists, after ages of effort,
have been largely successful in their eff
forts to copy natures beautiful crystals.
If the synthetic process should be per-
fected nobody could predict the effect on
the value of those gems that are now the
most costly and in which many fortunes
are represented.
The aim of the chemists is to manu-
facture the principal precious stones in
such perfection that the products cannot
be distinguished from those that come
from the mines. Should the chemists
succeed In thus initiating any precious
stones 1t is admitted. the trade in that
kind of gem would be positively de-
stro. cd The dealers say that gem is
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1909-12-10
valuable only when 1t is rare. and no
is if il he made in factories |

valuable only when 1t Is rare, and no
gem is rare if it can be made in factories.
All the dealers are not afraid of the
efforts of the chemists. A large number
of the oldest and largest of the importers
and wholesale dealers pooh-pooh the idea
that the prosperity of the trade or the
stability of the values of gems is in any
danger whatever. They tell the inquirer
that the operation of natural laws makes
it impossible for the chemists ever to
Initiate nature with absolute fidelity.
1t is conceded that the ruby trade has
been twice startled by the appearance of
new factory-made limitations. The first
scare came fifteen years ago, when the
sO-called Geneva stones began to appear
in the worlds gem markets. These stones
ed rubies. Another shock came five years
ago. when another class OF limitations
known as scientific rubies appeared.
Reconstructed and scientific rubies are
perhaps the most perfect limitations that
have yet been made of any precious
stones. The chemists have been working
hard to produce diamonds sapphires and
emeralds as WELL often with remarkable
success The triumph Of the chemists in
manufacturing gems has stimulated them
to continue their labors: yet the results
following the exploitation Of the artificial
who believe that even the best imitation
will always fall in a class far below the
natural gems in value.
Both reconstructed and scientific rubies
are Identical in chemical constituents with
Burmas finest gems, those which are of
the color of pigeon blood and which i'm
sizes above carat are more costly than
the highly priced diamonds of blue-white
tint. When the first of the synthetic
limitations came from Switzerland the
trade was astoniShed, to say the least 1t
was not at first given out that they were
