ADDED BRILLIANcY TO GEMS
Jswelsrs Of Ancient EGYPT Knew
More Of the Craft Than Do Those
Of Today.

The jewelers. of ancient Egypt knew
more than modern craftsmen about
treating gems so that they would
shine and sparkle, according to the
Independent. Such gems as the en-
erald, garnet. and jacinth were live
Her and more luminous in the days OF
the Ptolemies than they can be made
today It is known that the diamond.
ruby, emerald and kunzite became
Ihosphorescent or huorescent under
certain circumstances.
Gems exhibit the liveliest phosphor-
essence in vacuum tubes. Even in rari-
fed air some diamonds give out a
blue light which is not present in a
denser atmosphere. In vacuum a
diamond of four or FIVE carats gives as
much light as a candle. The color of
the light differs not only with the
grain of the diamond, but with the fac
cts of the same diamond. Mask
elyne made a collection of diamonds
which glowed in a vacuum with near
ly all the colors of the spectrum. An
uncut stone which was roughly cube
shape, with truncated corners and
edges, emitted orange yellow light
from the faces of the cubes, pale yell
low from the corners and lemon yell
low from the fiat edges.
Next to the diamond stands the
ruby as highly phosphorescent in a
vacuum. The ruby emits a beautiful
red light. as though it were incandes-
cent. Kunzite shines with a golden
yellow or yellow tinged with rose. The
emerald shines with a crimson light.
The same gems become phosphores-
cent under the influence of radium.
The ultraviolet rays also produce lu.
minosity in gems,
II is well known that rubies from
the mines of Burma are more valu-
able than those from neighboring
Siam. Externally they look much
alike, but under the ultraviolet rays
the Burmese stones which are called
Oriental rubies, glow like red embers,
while the Siamese rubies look almost
black.

Just because the sun dial must be
unscrewed from its pedestal before
snow begins to carpet the garden is
no reason why it must be packed
away until spring Nearly every
house has at least one window which
catches the sunshine much OF the day
and here the sun dial will mark al
most as many hours as it did during
the summer.

The best is yet to be-"

ished brass or copper or bronze and

old world charm. 1t suggests the

Apartment JOYS,

lives in a well-known apartment house
near One Hundred and Tenth street

Il have been keeping a record

Mattresses and pillows are beaten;
rugs, blankets. sheets. comforters.
busting cloths, skirts, coats, trousers,
and switches of hair are shaken, and
brooms are hammered against window

RIVALRY BETWEEN THE SEXES
Prominent suffragist Declares This
Feeling Is to Replace the Old
"chivalrous" Sentiment.

Perhaps those who have cherished
strong "anti" sentiment have not
so much to fear, after all. DR.. Anna
Howard Shaw declares that Sin re-
forming the country generally the
women would not seek to lord it over
men," Men and women would be
absolutely equal, and there would be
pleasant rivalry" between the
sexes on an equal footing.
This is most gratifying and reas-
surfing. Many men had feared that
under the desired new order of
things they would be forced down
and out, but merely pleasant III
valry'' would be quite enjoyable.
Life would become much like a mixed
foursome at the Country club, or at
the worst no more strenuous than
mixed doubles at tennis, with tea and
waffies on the Side.
The pleasant rivalry" is to re-
place the old pleasant chivalry. DR..
Shaw says that the women are seek
ing no quarter and that they do not
ask for chiyalrous treatment. They
want to vote, but they do not want
men to give them their seats in the
street car. Fine! Let's make it a
trade. Give the ladies the ballot and
let them give up their seat chances
in the cars.-Providence Journal.

O'Shaughnessy'S Work.

There is surely a word of praise
due to Nelson O'Shaughne ssy, the
American charge d'affairs in the
Mexican capital. For months this
representative of the United State
government has been confronted by
situation that called for the utmost
diplomacy. He has met one crisis
after another, and hes acquitted
himself and his country with credit
and with honor. He has been in the
midst of hostile company and in
the presence of a &c factO president
who would have welcomed any unto
ward deed or utterance on O'ShaUgh-
nessy's part as an excuse for show
of belligerency.
In more recent weeks he has been
surrounded daily by danger and.
resting on his shoulders, has been
the responsibility of the care and
protection of hundreds of American
citizens. residents of Mexico City.
Emergencies have arisen and have
been met, and in a strange mael-
strom of tumult. O'Shaughnessy
has remained calm, exercising good
judgment. executing his ord,rs
gracefully and effectively and COM
handing respect in all his dealings
with Huerta and his advisers.
Ard. until the last moment o.
Shaughnessy remained at his post.
Despite the threats Of mob violence,
he disdained to seek personal safety
by Withdrawing to Vera Cruz. He
