DoCToRING A DIAMOND.
Clever Trick That Makes a Yellow
Stone Appear Clear Blue
White and Perfect.

Let me show you little trick that
would advise you not to put into prac-
ttce, said jewel fancier to a number
Of friends the other day.
The conversation had turned to 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 a
big solitaire from his finger and beck
Oned a waiter across the cafe.
Bring me a glass Of water and an
indeIible pencil" said he when the
servitor came over to the table.
'@This is a trick that is essentially
crooked" said the jewel fancier. "and
viii get by nine times out of ten even
when the examiner is an expert at
judging precious stones and detecting
trickery. It will make a yellow on
color diamond look ike a 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 a powerful glass"
The expert took the pencil and allow
ed the indelible lead to dissolve in
the glass of water. In couple of
minutes the water was as blue as indi-
go water.
''Now watch" said the man who
knew the lore of jewels.
He took the ring and dropped it into
the glass. It's briIiancy was dimmed
by the hazy, blush water until it look
ed like dead stone.
''Now, you noted" said the demon
strator, that the diamond l placed in
there was a bit yellow. It will be a
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 a few moments. 1t was held up
for inspection. Not a 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 tC pledge.
at is the blue pigment deposited on
the back Of the stone that has made
the difference" said the jewel expert.
''The deposit is so filmy that strong
glass cannot detect it. You cannot see
it from the rear of the mounting and
only bath of alcohol will remove it
1t will stay on the gem for weeks If it
Is not removed in that way. It 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.
'SThe trick is called 'dOctoring a
stone but, as l said in the beginning,
1 would not advise you to try it. l
don't know what the law on such
matters is in Missouri, but there are
states where a person convicted of
such an Offense would serve q long
penitentiary term for his cIoRersess. -

A Famous Paris Sign.

Paris is a city of curious signbOards,
one Of the most remarkable ones rep
resenting a tobacconist's sign at %
Rue du Chateau-d Eau, which has
been here ever since 1870. 1t is rid
died with holes made by the bullets
Of the PrusSians, and the occupant Of
the shop states that so far as he is
aware it is the only public relic Of the
Franco-Prussian war in evidence in
the streets of Paris today.
''My sign" he added, brings me
plenty of customers. You have no
idea, monsieur, of the number of Eng
lish and American tourists who pass
this way and drop into my place tor a
cigar or a box Of matches merely in
order to have a word with me about
my bullet riddled enseigne. I wouldn't
part with It for anything. Wide

0DORS AND MOISTURE.
4 Sehena That Enabled the Com
mandant of a Military School to
Detect Odor of Smoke.

'HThe most striking fact connected
with my school career" said the prep
school graduate, "was a peculiar abil.
ity on the part Of our commandant to
detect the faintest odor Of smoke In
a room on his daily inspection. The
school attended was Of the military
variety, and smoking was a rather Sc
rious offense. No matter how much
room had been aired or famed with
wet towels previous to the inspection,
the offender was always caught.
"After I had received my finishing
touches and become q citizen I made
so bold as to inquire from what Pc
culiar dispensation Of providence the
ability was given to detect one mole
cule Of smoke in q hundred cubic fest
Of pure air. The old boy smiled and,
binding me to secrecy, impaired the
reason Of his wonderful ability. Then
he took me to a boys vacated room
and told me to wet my finger and rub
my nostrils with it and sniff. Lo and
behold, where before there seemed
no taint in the atmosphere was now
detected that smell Of old tobacco
smoke! Since then I have taught
school myself and have used the trick
occasionally, entirely for experimental
purposes, however.
81 have also sought the scientific ex-
PLANTATION, but with little success. It
may, however, be somewhat analogous
to the process Of tasting. You know,
1t Is impossible to taste anything tSst
is not dissolved in water or is not a
liquid itself SO the moisture on the
nostrils must carry the small particles
Of smoke in a more or less damp state
to the olfactory nerve ends and thus
make the smell more apparent. At
least this is the only explanation
have ever found for the phenomenon.
''The same thing can also be used
for detecting other OdOTs, and l have
found it useful on a number OF Occa-
sions for this purpose, both in analyd-
cal chemistry, when only a small par
ticle Of a certain material is available
for analysis, and in detecting faint per-
fume from flowers that are ordinarily
quite OdOrless. ."-ChicagO Record-Her-

COUNTING HEADS.
The First Census Was Taken by Moses
In the Wilderness.

In the Wilderness.
There is a record of a census in
China as far back as the year 204@
B. G. and Of one in Japan in the last
century before Christ. Under the con-
stitution of Solon the citizens Of Ath-
ems were divided and registered in four
classes, according to the amount Of
their taxable property or income. The
Roman census was burdened with
more statistics than any Of these, how
ever. It had its origin under Servius
TulIius, sixth king of Rome, and was
an affair of much sOlemnity. Every
citizen had to appear upon the Campus
Martius and declare upon oath his
name and dwelling and the value Of
his property under the penalty of haV-
ing his goods cOniscated.
The most ancient statistical record
Of a census is found in the Bible. The
census was taken by Moses in the
wilderness, and, as shown by the first
chapter Of Numbers, the enumeration
must have been very simple. Take
ye," says this account, "the sum Of all
the congregations Of the children Of
Israel, after their families, by the
house Of their fathers, with the num-
Der of their names, every male by
their polls; from twenty years old and
upward, all that are able to go forth
to war in Israel; thou and Aaron shall
number them by their armies" This
census was an affair that must have
been soon over, lasting no longer than
one day, being merely a counting Of
the heads of the fighting men. The
women and children and cTipples and
the old men were not included; mel
ther were the Levites numbered among
them" Those who did stand up to
be numbered tOtaIed G03, $50. - New
