Radium Makes Gems.

Experiments made with radium to
convert gems of little value into
valuable ones is veIy fascinating.
says a dealer in precious stones. in
The London Daily Mail. SO long
ago as 1907 Professor Bordas was
struck by the fact that glass tubes
| in which radium was kept always
took on a very beautiful azure tint.
This he attributed to the fact that
the radium revivifed the traces of
manganese left in the glass. He
therefore began experimenting with
corundum and radium.
Corundum is found in its natural
state. either quite cOlorlesS or of a
cull brown. blue or violet tint. 1t is
almost pure alumina, and its crys-
tails are extraordinarily hard. The
Oriental ruby, sapphire, topaz and
amethyst are all varieties of cOrun-
dunn. but while these are precious
stones corundum is of commercial
value only.
Taking small crystals Of corundum,
the professor placed them in contact
, with tube OF radiun and left them
untouched for a month. At the end
of that time the corrndum crystals
had lost their muddy appearance,
the colorless crystals had become
clear yellow, like the topaz, the blue
green as the true emerald. while the
violet had turned to real sapphire
blue.
a al.
had in fact been transformed into
real gems, and what nature effects in
the process of untold ages had been
accomplished by science within a
few weeks. II, owing to larger sup
plies of radium salts. the process can
be made a commercial success, it will
mean much to the jewelry trade. For
the layman has but little idea of the
millions that are lost owing to the
constant deterioration of most
precious stones, the writer says.
Most people are aware that pearls
are very apt to go sick" and lose
their lustre. and some know that the
cause of the opal's i'll reputation is
the fact that tbese stones 30 often
crack or else shrink and drop out of
their settings. What the public at
large does not know Is that practi-
cally all gems. with the one exception
OF the diamond, are liable to 10
wrong.
The action Of light on the coloring
matter OF any colored gem produces
a slow but sure deterioration. The
semi-precious stones. such as the,
garnet and the topaz. change rapidly.
the Rarnet growing lighter and los
ing its rich hue, while the topaz
goes dull. losing the brightness and
beauty of newly cut gem. The
Brazilian topaz, which Il OF a bright
yellow, becomes reddish. Heat af-
fects its color seriously-even a very
moderate degree OF heat.

HORSE MARKET
Boston, Jan. 3.-There was little
business transacted at the horse sales
during the past week, and only few
carloads Of fresh country horses We're
offered. Most Of the dealers devoted
the closing week Of the year in clean
ing up their stables of the horses on
hand, and prices average low. This
week, there will be a number of car
loads of western horses offered, to-
gether with large number of sec
onds.
The marked feature in the horse
market during the past year of 1921
has been it's lack in demand, compar-
ed with late recent years. At times
shipments OF green western horses,
has been excessive, which resulted in
slump in prices. at which times
dealers quoted good horses as selling
at the lowest prices since the year
1895.
There has been during most Of the
year great scarcity of heavy draft
horses, as the German Government.
it is claimed, has been buying in the
west large amount of this class of
horses for the French and Belgians,
in what was understood amongst
horse men to be $4,000 head con-
tract. The agents took the best hors-
IS. and paid high prices for the same.
The following scarcity, tended to
keep prices up in the eastern market
for this type of horse. so that what
were offered sold readily enough.
with horses Of 1900 to 1900 lbs selling
at $o50M400 per head, during the ac-
tiv seasons
No class of horses showed the
weaker tone of the market so much
as the wagon horses for teaming and
general purposes. and weighing from
1900 to 400 lbs. These have sold dur
ing the year as low as 1925 for the
lighter weights. and up to 5000 for the
heavier horses.
During the past few months Of the
year there has been very few high
grade acclimated horses offered,
which are usually good sellers. When
offered they have sold to advantage.
In ordinary seconds there has been
q heavy supply. at all times, and they
have sold well, although prices have
been low. Some Of the poorer horses
which have barely escaped being |
have changed hands at |
figures as low as $e5 per head, while |
it was rarely that the best Of them |
sold above 800.
The weakness Of the market is By
