JET JEWELRY WORN AGAIN
Women Go Back to a Fashion Of Civil
War Days.
TRUE JET COMES FROM ENGLAND
Brooches, Bracelets and other orna-
ments Brought Out After n Quar-
ter C~entury's Lapse-Many
limitations offered.

NEW YORK, June S.-Ornamental jet is
coming back into public esteem after an
absence of nearly a quarter Of a century
In the Maiden Lane district wholesale
Jewellers have been ransacking dusty store
rooms for supplies of the coal black orna-
ments which were put away years ago be-
cause the fashion had turned to the gayer
colors in jewelry as we'll as in other
products.
The woman who rummaSes In her Jewel
box and finds well preserved specimens
of let jewelry, such as earrings, brooches,
bracelets, necklaces and pendants, is
lucky. Many times, however, the orna-
ments have been broken or have lost some
Of the old-time polish. and then the finder
is in a dilemma, for the art Of repairing
and repolishing jet is almost unknown
among American jewellers because of long
disuse.
Although It may be mined in several
counties in Pennsylvania and In Colorado,
little American jet has ever been used by
the jewelers.. Even in the days when jet
was in great demand in the SOS and '7Os,
New York imported its supplies, generally
made up into the finished articles from
the ancient English town of Whitby, which
has enjoyed almost a monopoly Of this
trade in modern as we'll as in ancient

people wore jet to preserve them
from these evils. Jet ornaments were
buried with the dead.
Boom Days in Jet.
In the early years OF the late Queen
Nictoria's reign the whitby industry was
at its greatest, The queen set the example
OF wearing jet jewelry. After the death
of the Prince cDnsort jet became the fash
ionable Jewelry Of mourning in England.
In this country the civil war and the mourn
ing Tor the dead soldiers helped the Jet
trade.
So great was the demand that inferior
jet from France and Spain was shipped
to Whitby and there carved and sold as
the genuine native product. The funeral
character given to jet with the use of
cheap grades and of limitations proved the
undoing of the trade and the demand for
black jewelry remained almost at a stand
still until the present revival.
Omaha daily bee., 1909-06-12

days. It was whitby Jet which was highly
priced by former generations, and it is
whitby jet which the woman of fashion
still demands.
Qualities of Jet.
An old importer was asked about the
qualities that high grade jet should pos
sess. He said that valuable jet must
have . a velvety black color; brownish
shades are inferior. The original woody
internal structure must not be indicated
by patchiness, for the bituminization of
the extinct tree must have been carried in
natures laboratory to a high degree of
perfection.
Even In fine specimens, however, are
seen traces which point beyond question
to the origin of jet in tree trunks of past
ages; occasionally are found indications
of bones which were bituminized just like
the trees. From the rocks in which jet
is found an oil resembling petroleum often
gushes.
Jet must be tough and not too brittle, SO
that 1t may be carved with a knife,
worked on a lathe or grindstone, filed and
ground; at the same time 1t must be hard
enough for wear. 1t must be tougher and
firmer than coal; 1t has a hardness OF
from three to five compared with the
maximum tenIn diamonds.
Tit somewhat greasy luster Of jet is en-
HANGED by polishing. After the material
has been smoothed on polishing wheels an
additional finish is impaired by the oper-
atives vigorously rubbing the jet in the
palms of their hands.
If a piece of jet floats, then 1t is porous
and of inferior quality. 1t should be warm
to the touch, and a lack OF this quality
indicates that an ornament supposed to be
jet is really made Of glass, black onyx or
some Of the other substitutes. Another
test of jet is to apply a piece of 1t to a
blowpspe; the jet contains so much
bituminous matter that 1t will burn with
a sooty flame.
Omaha daily bee., 1909-06-12

Out OF the face OF steep cliffs at Whitby
has come for more than 1900 years jet
answering the highest requirements. The
jet comes in flattened layers, the largest
pieces ever found being about six feet
long and weighing about fifteen pounds,
From three to four tons have been mined
in a year at Whitby, and the town has re-
ceived as much as $500, 900 for a years out
put of jet manufactured into ornaments.
At times several thousand skilled opera
tives nave been employed near the Whitby
mines in carving the material and MAX
ing It up into many kinds Of ornamental
articles. Efforts of manufacturers in New
York and various cities in Germany and
France to compete with whitby carvers
and polishers have been futile.
Government aid was once given by Ger
many in an effort to support a jet indus
try at Wurtemberg, but the experiment
failed. France had a jet working industry
which died out in the eighteenth century.
Jet is modest in price compared with
many other kinds of ornaments. Artistic
designs and workmanship give the CHIEF
value to jet ornaments, except when they
are set in gold or embellished with pearls
and precious stones. Jet itself has been
sold at 81 to s. a pound wholesale. Neck
laces of jet may be bought in New York
stores for from IS to SIS.
Tn shining black surface of jet is again
appreciated not only for the contrast II
affords when placed against the pearly
complexion of the wearer. but also as q
background to set off the brighter gems
Valuable jewelry has been made up in the
combinations of jet with gold and precious
stones.
The importers say that they can trace
the trade back to pre-Roman days ir
England, and specimens of Jet of un.
doubted antiquity prove its enduring
qualities. The thin smoke which may be
caused by the vigorous rubbing of the
mineral was supposed in early ages tc

as well are called upon to wear full dress

there has been a wedding with the bride

quently a year or two ago, when fewer
men possessed the cutaway or walking

Now a frock has for more than a

:, The new insurance law which be-
came effective July - provides for
standard forms OF accident policies
and aims to stop the abuses of which.
some companies have been guilty.
The new law requires the companies
to allow 20 days for filing notice Of an
accident and If it is impossible to do
SO in that time 4 longer period must
be permitted for the filing Of claims.
: The acceptance of premium rein
states the policy. Formerly when some
companies would collect a premium
late and when an accident happened
they would refuse to pay, claiming the
policy had lapsed. Others would re-
fuse to pay sick benefits within 30 days
after premium past due was paid
and accepted. r.. u. -
The new law prevents the deduction
of advance premiums from the bene-
fits and provides for the payment of
benefits for disability when there has
been a change In the occupation of
the. policy holder. Sometimes If the
insured went into a more hazardous
business and was insured he failed to
receive benefits if injured.~ Hereafter
the benefits will be as large as the
premium would buy in the new occu-
