RIVAL THE NATURAL PEARL
Artificial "Gems," cheapIy Produced,
Said to Be as Beautiful as the

1t appears that the lining Of pearly
mussel shell or of a pearl oyster is
precisely the same material as that
which composes the pearl itself. Coat
buttons and other articles made Of
this "mother-of-pearl" are very beau
tiful, and would bring high prices but
for the fact that the material is SO
common.
To make artificial pearls, clear moth
er-Of-pearl Is reduced to a fine pow
der and mixed with rosln, shellac,
stearin and a little pigment to afford
color.
This is the process devised by
westerner who possesses much knOwl-
edge Of the pearling industry Of the
Middle West.
A New Jersey man has invented a
process to make imitation pearls from
beads of highly polished silver coated
with a translucent cellulose varnish
that contains a little white pigment.
Light rays reflected through the coat
ing from the mirror-like surface be-
meath afford a pearl-like efrecr.
The most familiar artificial pearls

DIAMOND NOT NOW SUPREME
Scientists Have Put Forward Prod
ucts Which Rival Famous Pre-
cious Stone In Hardness.

The diamond has always been re-
garded as possessing one quality
which placed it beyond rivalry, name
ly, that of hardness. There are sever
al gems which compete with it in beau
ty, and at least one, the ruby, when
of rare size and quality, outranks 1t
in cOstliness But none in the whole
list equals it in hardness.
Diamond cut diamond" is a popu-
lar saying. The hardest steel cannot
equal the diamond in that respect.
The diamond, the textbooks used to
declare, "is the hardest substance
known"
But science progresses, and If ma
ture has set aside for her king of
gems the distinction Of unparalleled
hardness, the art of man has not been
equally considerable. There are sew
eral products of chemical experiment
which have proved, it is claimed, to
be as hard as diamonds.
These are produced from the rare
metal titanium. One investigator sue
ceeded in preparing titanium in the
electric furnace. In the pure form II
is harder than steel or quartz, and
when combined with silicon or boron,
so as to form a silicide or boride of
titanlum, it matches the diamond It.
self in hardness.
T1tanium resembles tin in its chem
ical properties, and 1t Is the charac-
teristlc element in the beautiful red
and brown crystals of rutile. These,
in the shape Of needles, are some
times found penetrating large white
quartz crystals, forming gems that
the French call 'loves arrows"-

Just Waiting to Kill Man,
Virginian Tells Officer

Uncle Sans postoffice inspectors
run into many interesting experiences
in the course Of their duty, but it is
net often that they meet anything as
unusual as did Walter Lyle several
years ago.
Lyle told the story in the office
of Homer Elliott. United States dis
trict attorney, today.
"One morning I was sitting in my
room in a hotel in / little West Vir-
ginia town." Lyle said, when rangy,
gcod-natured native came in the open
door.
MAY I ask slight favor?' he
asked.
II answered in the affirmative and
he said he would like to look out my
window for a few minutes. I went
on with my work and when 1 looked
up he was sitting in the window with
a big six-shooter in his hand. peer
ing anxiously down the street.
just Shoot a Man
Say. friend, what are you going
to do?" I asked him.
I'm going to shoot my brother
in-law,' he replied in the most matter
cf-fact tone.
Then becoming laxative, he con-
tipued In a n1ld--voice, never for one
minute taking his eyes off the street:

ard he didn't treat me just right, so
I Just came up here to shoot him. He
ought to be along in a minute or

Il did some quick thinking Then
said:
Now I did you a favor. Maybe
you will do me one. That's a good
looking gun you got there. 1 am a
Government man and have to go down
the creek outside Of town and arrest
a man. I forgot my gun. Suppose
you loan me yours and I will be back
in an hour"
No Hurry to Kill Him
Sure, I can kill him a little later
just as well as now. I certainly ap-
preciate your kindness in letting me
use this room, and I'll just wait here
until you get back he said, handing
me the gun.
II stampeded down in the lobby,
hunted up some Of the school super
intendent's friends and sent them up
to see him. Meantime, I took the
gun and walked down the street.
When came back little later the
man was waiting for me in the lobby.

foremost leaders in South America.
has already held nearly every politi-
cal office in his native land. But he
draws the line at the presidency.
The United States has no single
figure greater than DR.. Zeballos in
distinguished honors. He has held
more jobs than such outstanding
Americans as Ellhu Root and
Charles Evans Hughes combined.
He has been minister of foreign
affairs three times. member of the
House of Representatives for twelve
years, speaker of the House three
times, postmaster general, ambassa-
dor to the United States and several
South American countries. and ac-
tive leader in innumerable move

But I never want to be president
