A GREAT AMERICAN SAID

Let every American, every lover of
liberty, every well wisher to his pos
terity swear by the blood of the reyolu-
ton never to violate in the least par
ticular the laws of the country and
never tolerate their violation by others.
AS the patriots of seventy six did to
the support of the Declaration of In
dependence, so TO the support of the
constitution and the laws let ever
American pledge his life, his property
and his sacred honor. Let every man
remember that to violate the law is
to trample on the blood of his father
and to tear the charter of his own and
his children's liberty. Let reverence
for the laws be breathed by every Am
erican mother to the lisping babe that
prattles on her lap. Let it be taught
in schools in seminaries and in col
leges. Let it be written in primers
spelling books and in almanacs. Let
it be preached from the pulpit, pro-
claimed in legislative halls, and en-
forced in courts of justice. And, in
short, let it become the political slogan
of the nation. Abraham Lincoln

Impovrishment Of the Soil

Harmony is much more to be desired about cleo.

is a scientific fact that persons saw the
same rainbow two persons saw what they
took to be the rainbow in the same place.
so harmony is not quite the same to any two
factions or elements of the democratic party of
Arizona.
The first organized move for harmony the
formation of the Harmony Club under the Dome of

VANISHING GEMS

unless you are an expert, or have the
advice of one, do not rush into this
line of investment.
There are two precious stones which
We all viii probably always have in
abundance. These are the ruby and
the sapphire. For rubies and sap
phires are manufactured-not imita-
ton stones but genuine ones. A ruby
or sapphire is nothing but aluminium
oxide, otherwise known as alumina,
otherwise yet known as corundum.
which has been melted. When melted
this substance takes a crystalline form
and a clear and beautiful appearance.
The color is due to impurities in the
corundum. If the color is red 1t is
a ruby, and II yellow it is a sapphire.
Perfectly good rubies and sapphires
can be made by melting corundum and
coloring it with various substances.
These rubies and sapphires have ex-
actly the same chemical composition
as the rubies and sapphires that oc-
cur in nature, and exactly the same
appearance, except for very minute
differences, which it takes an expert
to detect. The artificially made stone
usually contains tiny air bubbles which
may be detected with a microscope. 1t
is also more perfect than the natural
stone. To any but an expert these diff
ferences are imperceptible. Yet ma
tural rubies are worth thousand dol
lars or more karat. while synthetic
rubies may be bought wholesale for 40
to so cents a karat.
Naturally this afforcs one of the
greatest opportunities for fraud in
the world. and it is no doubt consist
entity improved. For example, a man
advertised for sale very fine ruby
which had been pronounced genuine
by an expert whom he named-a stu
dent of gems in the National Museum.
This man did have a genuine ruby /,
which he showed to the expert He
also had a supply of synthetic rubies
of the same size and shape. When he
got a customer he substituted one of
the synthetic rubies for the genuine,
putting 1t in the same setting. The
customer might call UP the expert
and ask about the stone the expert
had examined for so and so. The ex-
pert would say that he had examined
such a stone for the man named. The
customer might even go to the expert
and show him the stone, and the ex-
pert, thinking he had seen it before,
would merely glance at it, and say
that it was all right. Unless he had
reason to suspect fraud, he would not
