Trick That Makes yellow Stone APP
pear Clear Blue White

Trick That Makes yellow Stone APP
pear Clear Blue White.
Let me show you littie trick that ]
would advise you not 10 put into prac-
tice, said jewel tunCier 10 u number
of friends the other day.
The conversation had turned 10 dia-
monds during the midday luncheon
and the expert had been holding forth
on his favorite subject. The little
group of St LOuisans were interested
still more when the speaker drew
big solitaire from his finger and beck
oned a waiter across the cafe.
Bring me n glass of water and an
indeibe pencil" said he when the
servtor came over TO the table.
This is a trick that is essentially
crooked" said the jewel fancier. "and
will get by nine times out of ten even
when the examiner is an expert mt
judging precious stones and detecting
trickery. II will make yellow of
color diamond look like stone of the
very first water Pawnbrokers IN.
Vulnerable have been fooled by this
same trick. as it Is extremely difficult
to detect even with powerful glass.
The expert took the pencil and allow.
ed the indelible lead TO dissolve in
the glass of water In a couple OF
minutes the water was as blue as indi-
60 water.
"Now watch" said the man who
knew the lore of jewels.
He took the ring and dropped il into
the glass. Its brilliancy was dimmed
by the hazy. blush water until it look
ed like a dead stone.
"Now, you noted" said the demon
strator. that the diamond | placed in
there was bit yellow. 1t will be n
clear blush white when it comes out
of its bath"
At the end Of minute the stone was
taken out The top of the gem was
dried with a soft handkerchief and
then the ring was waved TO and fro
for few moments. 1t was held up
for inspection. Not gleam of yellow
was to be seen. The stone was ap
parently magnificent blue white gem
that any one would be proud to own
and loathe to pledge.
ut is the blue pigment deposited on
the back Of the stone that has made
the difference" said the jewel expert
''The deposit is so tilmy that a strong
glass cannot detect It, You cannot see
II from the rear of the mounting and
only bath of alcohol will remove it,
Ii will stay on the gem for weeks If II
Is not removed in that way. 1t used
TO be a favorite trick of many folks
who now and again had TO put a dia.
mond into the hands OF a pawnbroker
THE trick is called 'doctoring a
stone but, as said in the beginning.
] would not advise you to try it. |

FRIDAY EVENING. MARCH 81

THAT the majority OF normal minded
melr have big feet and most normal
mindcd women small feet Is The latest
scientific discovery announced 10 Tue
world by the Paris Academy OF Sciences.
Il emanates from Professors MacAullite
and Marie, who for several months
have been measuring the feet OF French
Daople in all walks OF life. They
found. ;" so they Tell Chicago News
correspondent, that only eighteen o"'
OF every hundred soldiers were small
footed and only twenty.fonr OF every
hundred weak minded men we're big
footed. On the other hand, they
found that only tHenty-three OF every
hundred norma! women were large
footed. while only eighteen OF hun
dred weak witted women we're small
footed" This is believed TO conilrm
the ancient theory that woman IS man
eonal, for the reason that she Is bis
exact opposite.
