RIVER BASIN GREAT
AOUATICPLAYPLACE:
PLANS ARE READY

At the request OF the City Planning
commission Warren H. Manning has
MADE plans for the improvement of
the Susquehanna River Basin at Har-
rlsourg which when carried out will
make the river opposite this city one
of the greatest aquatic recreation
places in the whole country. and one
not excelled for beauty anywhere.
The Planning commission is notquite
ready to give these plans to the pub
lie, for the reason that they have not
been approved in their entirety, but
enough is known of them to assure the
city river front OF which 1t may well
be proud. The scheme is so elaborate
and goes into such detail that years
may be required to complete it. 1t
embraces the West Shore as we'll as
that of the city and extends all the way

from the sanitary dam at the lower
end of the city entirely to Rockville.
When it is finished motorboats will
have clear track even during the
lowest stages of the river from the
extreme lower end of town to the falls
just below the great Rockville bridge,
something that every boatman has
longed for but which under present
conditions is impossible during the or
dinary summer condition of the
stream.

Those who have gone over the plans
say they will give to Harrisburg a

Lose Their Sharp Edges.
Only the expert can tell an imitation
diamond from real stone when the
imitation Is new, but after the fake
stone has been worn for a little time
1t soon loses its lustre. 1t is this which
makes real diamond valuable. No
matter how long 1t is worn 1t will keep
its sparkle almost as well as ever.
The real reason for this is the hard
ness Of the diamond. It Is not due to
any special quality in the stone itself,
except its transparency and its hard
ness.
The sparkle Of diamond depends on
the sharpness Of the edges and the
points Of its facets. When the light
falls on one Of these 1t is reflected to
another facet. lying at different angle
and is refracted again, and so on,
many times. Each time the light is
reflected 1t gives point Of brilliance,
and. in most instances, splits up the
light so that the red and blue rays are
seen.
The imitation stone. to begin with,
seldom has as many facets as a dia-
mond. But, even If 1t had, the sharp
ness Of these edges would wear Off.
Even exposure to the air will wear
away any substance that is not ex-
tremely hard. And just as soon as
there is any dulling of the edges of a
facet. 80 soon there IL dimming Of the
