IMITATION DIAMONDS.

they Lose Their Sparkle When They
Lose Their Sharp Edges.
Only the expert can tell an imitation
diamond from a real stone when the
imitation is new, but after the fake
stone has been worn for q little time
it soon loses its lustre. 1t is this which
makes a real diamond valuab Die. No
matter how long it is worn IT will keep
it's sparkle almost as well as ever.
The real reason for this is the hard
ness of the diamond. 1t 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 it's facets. When the light
falls on one Of these it Is reflected to
another facet, lying at a different angle
and is refracted again, and 50 on.

hindered US considerable and forced
US to travel between six and ten miles
per hour. Neither tree nor house nor
anything that has green did we see
until we came to a watering place.
For many stretches of miles the bare
rock showed at the surface alternat-
ing with long stretches of clay and
sand. We reached Ranch about IL
o'clock and from there drove to Vernal
through some excellent farming coun-
try. Here we ate dinner. During the
afternoon we passed through the Vim
tab Basin, region of fine farms,
made so by irrigation, and came to
Fort Duchesse. This fort has been
abandoned except as he Ute Indians
occupy it for their camping grounds.
We drove around the buildings but,
of course Charley, We didn't spend
much time visiting with the Indians,
as 1t was getting late in the evening.
The next morning we crossed what
they call "hill" in this country. 1t
was some hill. For four miles there
was seventeen per cen. grade. The
road was very heavy with a black
clay which stuck to our wheels like
long lost brother. On the way down
after dinner we passed several covered
wagons drawn by teams of from two
to eight horses. They were having a
pretty hard time of it too. Their
loads consisted of freight for the
towns up the hill
We spent all that forenoon going
thirty-one miles down the mountain
side hillside" these people would call
it. After dinner we made up for lost
time however and soon reached Col
ton, where we camped for the evening.
We started for Salt Lake City Sunday
morning.
Around Cotton there are several
sheep ranches. On the climb up
Soldiers Mountain we encountered
storm and the going was rather slip
perry; but from there on the roads
were fine and we averaged over thirty
miles an hour.
About five o'clock we reached this
city and camped out in Liberty Park.
We had lots Of company for there
were large number of campers

LETTER FROM WILL SULLIVAN

Salt Lake City,
September IL 1915.
Mr.. c. F. Brown, Alma, Michigan,
Dear Charlie:
At present we are in Salt Lake
City, but tomorrow we will start for
Frisco. On Monday the 9TH we start
ed out and drove through the noun
tains all the week. At first we went
to Leadville and on over the Tennessee
Pass, which is the Continental Divide.
ten thousand two hundred seventy-six
feet above the sea level and down to
Red Cliff. From there we went up
Battle Eagle river. In the valley we
camped for the night. On the top of
this mountain is a little town called
Gilman, near which is the largest and
richest zinc mine in Colorado.
You may gain some idea of the
steepness of this mountain by the
fact that in three quarters of mile
there is a rise Of two thousand feet.
However, we went up this hill like
q shot and at that didn't need ali
the rover our Studebaker could give
us The trip down the mountain wac
something else again. We used both
Brakes ran In low, with the switch
cf. The joke o. it was that it took
longer to ccnc down than it dil TO go
up.
After leaving Red Cliff and the
mountain we struck some pretty rough
country until we came to the Grand
Canyon That was a wonderful sight.
The play Of colors in the sunlight and
the gorgeous scenery on the top com
bined to impress the sightseer with
unusual force. On one side of the
river the railroad tracks run and on
the other the wagon road. Bowling
along on the latter we seemed at times
TO be on a very level with the surface
of the river and at other times hun
dreds of feet above it, Power COM
panies utilize the water power to a
good advantage, sluices carrying the
torrents to a lower level where the
machinery is driven.
At one place we came to a place
where convicts were blasting a road
twenty-four feet wide out of solid
rock. When we reached this road we
certainly drove along at a good speed.
There were six or seven miles of
this sort of road leading into Glen
wood Springs. We passed through
the Springs, Rifle and Meeks where
we took the road into the Great Amer
lean Desert. A continual procession
Of washes and gullies for forty miles
