ICARBORUNDUM DIAMONDS
Can FOOL EXPERTS
So Near Real Article They
Find a Market

New York, April 19-Maiden Lane
jewel dealers are talking these days
of discoveries by chemists who have
been trying to make exact limitations
of precious stones and jewels.
Chemists who are trying to initiate
the diamond now are said to look with
most favor upon carborundum as the
material Crystals of carborundun
may be made of almost any size, and
are cheap, as they are produced
in an electric furnace out of a mix
ture of sand, coke, sawdust and COM
mon salt. The carborundun is now
conceded to be next to the diamond
in hardness, and scratches even the
ruby and sapphire.
This new composition was first made
in dark brown and black colors but
within a few weeks the chemists have
succeeded in obtaining crystals that
| are as colorless and transparent as
the diamond itself, and have even
greater luster and retroactive power,
! But these crystals have one defect that
bars them from use in jewelry They
are so brittle they cannot be cut and
polished like diamonds. They fly 20
pieces when they are put on the grind
stone.
The chemists are still hopeful of
overcoming this defect Meantime adj
vantage is being taken of the discov-
cry by irresponsible dealers who are
Offering brilliants supposed to be of
carborundum, but really paste or cheap
transparent stones.
Jargoons are being placed on the
market as an imitation of fancy brown
diamonds.
Pennsylvania diamonds" have also
appeared in the wholesale jewelry dis
trict. They are a sulphur iron stone
that is actually taken from the an
thracite fields The sparkle of these
stones is like that of dark colored dia-
mOnds, and the brilliant qualities are
said to be lasting.
| Genuine coral has become dear that
the chemists began experimenting ear
ly last fall to produce the product ar
tifcially. Within few days an arti-
fetal coral has appeared in the jew
elry stores and is guaranteed to be
not only of the identical color of the
finest Japanese pink coral, but also t.
have the same weight, feel and tenn
perature, so that experts are defied to
detect the imitation from the real. The
importers of genuine coral, however,
deny that the imitation is no SO close

of the president of the American Red
Cross, because of his constant and
helpful assistance in all it's work.
The interest of this fund is to be de-
voted to providing for first aid work
and competitions among the railroad
men of the country. Four prizes with
medals will be awarded annually. The
first prize for $50, the second for $25,
the third for SIS, and the fourth for
1910, for the best aid assistance given
during the year by member of any
class among railroad men organized
under Red Cross auspices. Any con-
testant for these prizes must, in or
der to qualify, send sworn statement
supported by the sworn statement Of
the physician, who was the first to
treat the injured man, to the First
aid Department of the Red Cross. A
jury will be appointed to determine
upon the winner
The remainder of the interest of this
fund will be devoted to prizes and
medals for competitions in first aid
among railroad men given under the
Red Cross auspices.
Similar prizes will be provided by
the American Red Cross for members
of other first aid classes organized un-
der the auspices of that association.

NECKTIES and SOCKS

Some are Made Out Of Real
GuDCOttOn

New York, April 19-Arthur Elk
roth has presented to the Kings
County Independent League a resoIu-
ton of protest against the manufac-
ture of artificial silk from celluIose.
Ekroth is employed in factory
where he says silk" is made from
. highly dangerous and infiammable
guncotton" and is used extensively for
neckties, half hose, braids, trimmings
and shirt waists.
William D. Grier, general inspector
for the North British and Mercantile
Fire Insurance Company, explained to
reporter yesterday what the product
really is.
There are several processes of
manufacturing artificial silk" said Mr..
Grier, (which are based on the use OF
ordinary cellulose, reduced to plas-
tic condition, so that it may be drawn
into threads. These are drawn into
various forms, whose chief difference
from real silk, is that they are CLOS
sier.
'iAll but one of these processes yield
a silk that is as safe as cotton. The
other employs nitro-cellulose, or solu-
lie guncotton, from which the threads
are drawn in ether or alcohol After
the thread has been drawn and is
ready for weaving it is supposed to be
denitrated. If it is, it is entirely safe;
if it is not, it may be exceedingly dan
gerous, for it then remains nothing
less than guncotton spun into a IA
