Laboratory-Eade Sapphires.

From the Boston Transcript.
The recent arrival in this country of
the first specimens of the laboratory
made sapphires lately produced in Paris
adds one more to the list of beautiful
stones that can be created by man as
well as by nature. Rubies ''just as
good" as the natural ones have been
artificially made in Paris since 1893. and
the problem of producing the synthetic
or reconstructed sapphire has engaged
Prof. NJ. A.. Verneuil-whose process of
fusing chromated alumina in an oxy-
hydrogen furnace first made the manu-
facture OF rubies possible-from then
until last January. The nub Of the prob
lem was to find the substance which,
when fused with alumina. would produce
the splendid blue color OF the natural
sapphire. This was finally obtained by
a combination of ferric oxid and titan
ium. and expert examiners of the re-
sulting stones declare them so like the
natural In chemical and crystallogr aphic
characters as to be called identical
Sapphires are not diamonds, nor Is this
recent achievement equal to the finding
to recall both the lure of those famous
quests and the different frame of mind
in which they were prosecuted. Had the
medieval alchemists turned up in their
crucibles anything as valuable as home
made rubies and sapphires 1t is difficult
mediately reported the matter "for the
advancement of science" They would
have laid low and turned the discovery
into their own pockets by starting a
little private business in rubies and sap
phires. Science was a decidedly private
matter In the middle ages: perhaps the
possibility Of being burned alive for hav-
ing dealings with the devil helped make
1t so. Whatever the reason. the attitude
OF the modern scientist is marked con-
trast. Until he has got something to
show for his labor he is naturally in
clined to keep mum-especiallS at a time
when the danger OF being burned for
witchcraft has been superseded by the
only less unpleasant possibility of being
graphically depicted I'm the garb of a
wizard by the sensational Sunday news
paper. But none is more generous with
his results after he has really obtained
them. The typical scientist of the present
believes in doing things for the practical
comfort, pleasure and welfare of human
ity, even IL he digs them unexpectedly
out OF what seem TO be the Iabors of a
surprisingly busy idle curiosity.

Law Governed Bread Making.

Bakers bread was the subject of the
corporation law shortly after the city
was chartered. BY the law of 1906 all
wheaton bread offered for sale was re-
quired to be made of inspected superfne,
fine or middling -four, without any adj
mixture Of meal or any other flour: the
single and double loaves should weigh In
proportion to the price of superfine flour.
the city register being charged with the
duty of fixing the weight each month, In
accordance with the table.
This provided that when the price of
superfine -four was from 81 to 81 80 a bar
rel the single loaf Should weigh twenty
seven ounces, and the weight when the
price was $3.50 and $40 was ten ounces.
The price then for a single loaf was a
FTP" Ga cents, this being the smallest
piece of silver coin then in circulation.
Sometimes. therefore. the loaves were
diminutive. In 1916 and 1917 but few
bakers made and sold more bread than
was necessary to support life.
From the failure of crops the small
quantities of -four sold brought from SIS
to $50 per barrel. As for cakes. they
were out of the question.
Few bakers then thought OF making up
more than a few hundred loaves daily.
These were baked by the dozen loaves,
that number being the capacity. These
loaves were the perfectly square" and
oblong or brick variety mostly, but
now and then round loaves would be sup
piled.
The bulk Of the trade was over the
counter, but there were bakers stands in
the markets at which, with the bread
cake, mostly plain, was sold. and prior
to about 1870 few wagons were In use by
baker or butcher. 1t was one of the
grocers' commodities and was usually
carried TO the stores by basket or by
wheelbarrow
Gradually what was not sold at market
n at q hakeShOn reached the cOnSunl-
er over the grocers counter. The rule
was that the baker would not supply
parties living convenient TO a grocery
store.

OLD WASHINGTON
By James Croggon.

Over one hundred years ago, before the
general and municipal governments OF
Washington had been established here.
the inhabitants on the sparse tract laid
out for the city all needed bread. but not
all were inclined TO knead and bake.
Consequently there were some few baker
les esta blished
Ii was not in the province OF every
family to successfully make its own
bread. and the facilities were crude The
Dutch oven was used by some. but when
perfectly baked bread and cakes were
needed most families called on the serv-
ices of the baker.
| Many of them made up their cakes and
| bread at home and had the baking done
in the regular oven. IL may be conceived,
therefore, that, especially on the approach
OF holidays and festive occasions, the
bakers ovens were In demand
1t was not rare that the oven was run
night and day. The old ten plate stove.
which was much in use in the first half
of the century, was taxed by some fam
| lilies.
