Part Imitation, Part Genuine

RESIDES the making Of synthetic and
- artificial stones. there is still another
division in the fabrication Of gems. some
stones offered for sale are part imitation,
with genuine crowns. The body or base J.
paste, while the crown i genuine, an t1cy
are so clcycrv made together that without
closest scrutiny it j. impossible 10 detect the
fraud. When such a stone is placed in ether,
alcohol, or carbon bisulphid, the ccmcnting
materials between the two parts are dissolved
and they separate.
There is also "A clever process for the manu-
facturc Of imitation pearls. These consist Of
hollow glass beads coated on the inside with
a fsh-scalc preparation. 1t is clever I'M
itation.
Last Of all, stones are now made from the
chips and powder formed in the polishing
and cuttings Of the lapidary. These scrap,
are fused together in the electric furnace and
make good grade Of medium priced Jew
clry.
The iewclcr, lapidary, or dealer in pre-
cious stones is often called on to decide
whether a stone is genuine, synthetic, or
artificial. Its IN easy matter to distinguish
between natural and artificial gems; but it
is next 10 impossible to say whether ruby,
for instance. is natural or synthetic Some
jewellers claim that the synthetic Jewel can
be recognized by the microscopic conccntric
rings formed in cooling, while natural stones
markings are irregular in form They call
these stripes color stripes. his clam, how
ever. is not altogether conceded.
On the other hand, II j. easy 10 choose
between a natural stone and purely arti-
fetal one. A bath Of hydroiluoric acid j.
uscd When the paste stone is immersed
for one minute in this bath, its surfao, is
quickly etched or cloudcd. The same treat

line, garnet, ruby, sapphire, spincl, emerald,
or upon synthetic gems. But this acid Will
also ctch the opal and the turquoise, the
amethyst and the crystal agate, which have
quartz as their basis, although they are genu-
inc stones.

being only about one mllimctcr in diameter
We, il is diamond.
Noisson first produced minute diamonds
in the electric furnace. Everyone know
how salt will dissolve in water, and in IN
analogous manner carbon. in the form oi
charcoal. will readily dissolve in large guam
Titles in molten iron. Under ordinary con
ditions Of cooling a mass Of melted non con
tanning carbon dissolved in II, the carbon
will slowly separate as black graphite Ike
the material Of our pencil points.
NoissOn reasoned that If he was able 'o
modify the conditions Of cooling SO as ~
deposit the carbon in crystalline form, hc
would have diamond instead Of graphite.
To accomplish this, he first prepared some
pure carbon from sugar, and forced tins by
means Of high pressure into a cylinder 81
soft iron. This cylinder containing the car
bon was then plunged into mass Of molten
iron in the electric frunacc. The carbon dis
solves in the iron Then this mass Of MEAL,
at a temperature Of twenty-five hundred de-
grccs Ccntigradc, is suddenly plunged into
ice water. The metal thus quickly cooled
contracts on solidifying, and the outer layer
clamps the inner melted mass, thus cXcrung
terrific pressure on the carbon, which Is at
that moment separating. Under these con
ditions the crystalline modification oi car
bon, diamond, is formed.
The clement Of carbon Of which diamond
is composed is peculiar in the fact that lis
boiling point Of thirty-tivc hundred degrees
Centigradc is below its melting point. ak
ing these facts as a basis, Sir William
Crookcs reasoned that in the making OF
synthetic diamonds a temperature Of forty
two hundred degrees Ccntigradc and pres
sure Of two hundred and flfty-tivc pounds
should be employed. During some expert
mcnts with the terrific explosive, corditc,
which we're carried out in closed vessels by
Nobel, a temperature OF iiity-two hundred
degrees Ccntigradc was reached, and alter
ward Sir William CrookcS found microscope
diamonds in the explosion chamber. .
SO the day may not be far of when It VIII
be possible to manufacture SynthcllcdIIy
from the ugly commonplace SCOT Of our
chimncyS, diamonds large enough for use IN
icwclry.
Not only have the ruby and the diamond

recommend that. the legislature abol-
ish the township assessor system and
substitute for. It the county assessor
system. In the larger counties this
official to become one of the regu-
lar county officers but in the smaller
counties, where the salary would be
a burden, one of the regular county
officers would be ex-officio county as
SCISSOR and receive extra compensa-
ton. On the county assessor would
be placed n responsibility of the
assessment of his county. He should
be appointed by the board of county
commissioners and should be remov-
able by them or the tax commission.
He, together with the necessary as
s~istants, would make the regular as
sessment of the county. The assist
ants would be appointed by the coun-
ty assessor and confirmed by the
county commissioners and to- be re-
moved by either the county assessor,
the board of county commissioners or
the tax commission. The removal of
either the county, assessor or am as
sfstant BY the board of county com :
missioners would be renewable by the
tax commission.
Once each year the county assessors
would assemble at. Bismarck and in
conference with the state tax commits
sion, review their work and receive
their instructions. This conference
might last a number of days and be
! turned into>a training school, The tax
commission can keep in close touch
with fifty assessors, but would find il
utterly impossible to do so with 1,500i
over whom they have little, il any, au-
thority.
1t has been urged that the county
assessor system would be more expens-
i've than the township system. As the
county assessor system has beer
adopted by nearly one-half off tht
states in the union the commission in
yestigated the cost in those states
which have recently changed from on,
system to the other. Their conclusion
is that 1t is less expensive than thu
township system and much more ef,
fective. Every state having the count!
assessor system to which inquiries
were addressed reported ii both eco
nomic and effective. The general ex
p~erience is that the amount OF new
property found and listed more thar
pays for all the expense of assessment
The commission concludes its dis
cnssfon of this subject: This com
mission is firmly of the opinion tina
without the county assessor its worl
will be greatly handicapped. To Sc

township officers is a physical impos-
SioIilty. The very multiplicity of cor
reSpondence,I the utter impracticability
or conventions or conferences will be
admitted by any: one familiar with adj
ministrative functions. If any con-
siderable amount of taxable roper
of the state which is now escaping tax
alton is to be listed and the appraise-
ment of all taxable property made to
even approximate uniformity. the CEN
traliZation of authority must be con-
tinued downward to the secondary
taxing district by the adoption of the
county assessor system. THAT this is
true is indicated by an address deliver
ed at the annual meeting Of the Kan
sas county assessors. by S. T. Howe,
chairman of the tax, commission. who
called attention to the fact that the
total valuation, under the old township
assessor system was in 1907 S425. ISL
215; that in 1908, sunder the first valu-
alton under the new county assessor
system, a total of $2,45I, $50, 397 was
reached, an amoun over FIVE and sew
en-tenths times the valuation of 1907.
In 1909 the assessment was further in
creased. to s2,5 $50, 1856, which amour
was more than, five. and ni1e-tenths
times the valuation of@1907l The levy
twas 3 relatively decreased, owing. to
the fact OF the Increased needs, OF the
various taxing districts. The rate sin
1907 was ACT per cent; in 1908 and 1903
1t was l, per cent. 1T is u~ndeniabIe
that the new method of assessment has
brought about q readjustment Of the
burden Of taxation among the taxpay-
ers, declared Mr.. Howe"
