HOW TO TEST DIAMONDS.
Several Ways to Distinguish Genuine
From Imitation Stones.

Several Ways to Distinguish Genuine
-. From Imitation Stones.
How to tell real from false diamonds
is briefly explained by contributor to
a Vienna journal, the Washington Post
observes. In the first place, he says,
real brilliants may be recognized by
their great hardness and high refrac-
tive index, which are not found togeth-.
Ell in any imitation stone. The dia-
mond stays brilliant because it is hard.
while other stones and limitations be-
come scratched and dulled by friction.
For an experienced eye 1t is not diff
cult to decide from the appearance of
the facets whether a stone is genuine
Or moi, for those of real diamonds are
seldom so regular as those Of fine i'm
itations. With the latter the greatest
are is taken in grinding to smooth
and polish not only the facets, but also
the whole form into such a shape as to
avoid differences in the reflection, re-
fraction and scattering Of the rays.
In the grinding and polishing of real
brilliants, on the other hand, effort is
made to keep the original size as near
~ as possible, and some little irregu,
larities in the facets and angles are
preferred to any diminution in weight.
In the limitations the %super1uity of
cheap material, which may be wasted
without making any difference, enables
a perfect counterfeit to be made.
If a person looks through a diamond,
as through a bit Of glass, at a black
dot on a sheet Of white paper one sin
gle point will be seen clearly. If sew
eral points appear OF a blur is seen it
is an imitation.
The~white sapphire, the white topaz
and rock crystal are commonly sold as
diamonds. but more often limitations
are. made Of glass. To recognize these
glass limitations treatment with acids
is also recommended. which removes
the polish on the facets. while it does
not affect the diamond. ruby, sapphire

POTATO HARVEST.

How to Care Successfully For This
Valuable Crop.
The sweet potato harvest begins
about the middle Of August. The main
crop should not be dug until just be-
fore frost. In, localities where frosts
do not occur until late the sweet pota-
toes ripen and the vines show a slight
tinge Of yellow when ready for han
ding.
The soil should be comparatively dry
at the time of harvesting. Bright, dry
ing weather is essential to the proper
handling Of the crops. While sunlight
does not easily injure the sweet potato,
at the same time it must not be I'M
duly exposed to hot suns. Neither
should they lie exposed upon the sur
face of the ground during the night.
During the handling in the field 1t
should be the purpose to remove all
soil and surface moisture from the po-
tatoes.
Warmth and a dry atmosphere are
needed while in storage. The home
supply may be placed in crates and
stored in a loft over the kitchen part
Of the dwelling, but should never be
stored In bags or barrels without ven
tilation.
Sweet potatoes should not be han
died oftener than is strictly necessary,
the essentials to good keeping being a
reasonable degree Of warmth, a dry
atmosphere and careful handling.
The: storage house should be venti-
lated during the winter months, the
outside air admitted only when quite
dry and when it's temperature is lower
than that of the air in the storage
house. If warm, moist air is admitted
considerable moisture will be deposit
ed upon the potatoes, thus injuring
their keeping qualities.
Under proper storage conditions
sweet potatoes will shrink from 6 to 10
per cent, but the loss in weight will be
greater if the temperature of the house
is carried too high. If the potatoes are
not matured when dug from the field
the loss from shrinkage. may be as
much as IS per cent, and immature
stock should be marketed early in the
winter. ay.
