TESTS FOR DIAMONDS.
Object Viewed Through Genuine Stone
viii Give Only One IMAGE.

viii Give Only One Image.
This is an age of limitations, partie-
ularly of gems, and the amount of
imitation precious stones on the mar
ket is enormous" I am told by Mr..
w. A. Gill, the well-known jeweler,
sand the assertion is continually made
by dealers in these commodities that
1t would require the services of an ex-
pert to determine the real from the
false. With regard to diamonds. the
belief is general that this is entirely
true, but never did the general public
entertain greater error.
There are certain simple tests to
which any one may submit stone
alleged to be genuine diamond and
determine almost Instantly the truth
or falsity of the claim made for It.
A real diamond will not be acted on
by acids or alkaNs In the least, and
may be placed in a liquid containing
these substances without injury to It,
There are other simpler and easier
tests, however, which require nothing
in the ways of testing materials that a
person cannot find In any household
without the need of, visit to the
druggist. These, too. are practically
infallible, for have never heard Of
an imitation that would answer fully
to them.
TN the first just take small piece
of silk and rub the alleged diamond
vigorously for moment, and 1t win
acquire sufficient amount of positive
electricity to attract bits of wool. cot
ton or paper, exactly as magnet will
attract particles of metal.
In the second test place the diamond
in a position where 1t Is exposed to
the suns rays for while. and then
remove 1t to a dark room. If the dia-
mond is genuine 1t will glow in the
darkness with q distinct phosphor-
escent qualities. but If 1t is imitation
it will have no phosphorescent quail
ties whatever-will look in the dark
ness just like piece of glass.
''The third test Is undoubtedly the
best of the three. A diamond has
only single refraction; that is. it gives
but single image OF any object view
ed through it. When the diamond is
held before a candle or bright light
but the one light will be visible to
the eye through the substance. An
imitation diamond. no matter how
curningly it has been contrived. will
give a myriad of images, just like
a piece of cut glass. ''-St. Louis Globe
Democrat.

Americas First Map Of Japan.

The first map Of Japan was brought
to this country by Capt. Mercator
. Cooper of Southampton, L. l.
In 1874. when on whaling voyage
in the north Pacific ocean, In the
whaler Manhattan of Sag Harbor, L.
1.-The first ship except a Dutch ship
to enter a port in Japan-Capt. Coop
er fell in with wrecked Japanese
junk that had been blown OF the
coast of Japan. Capt. Cooper took
from on board the badly disabled yes
sci several unfortunate castaways
and such part of the cargo as he
thought would be of use to him, and
then sailed for Japan. When the ship
arrived in port and dropped her an
Choir she was at once surrounded by
O. large fleet of boats; officers were
put on board and all communication
with the shore, as far as the for
eigners were concerned, was prohib-
tied. The ships officers and crew
were treated with great kindness by
the Japanese. The ship was refitted,
free of all charge, with everything
necessary for a continuance of her
voyage and then, after few days
etay, was towed far out Of the harbor
to the open sea by several long lines
Of boats. The ship was not allowed
TO wait in port for wind to blow her
out Of the harbor to the open sea.
Capt. Cooper was then told. should he
find any more wrecked japanese sail
ors, to take them anywhere else than
to Japan.
Among the articles taken from the
junk, which at the time had been
concealed in the ships hold, was a
good chart of Japan. The chart was
taken on to Washington by Capt
Cooper and possibly may have sug-
gested the governments sending
Commodore Perry to what was then
an almost unknown country.

How rhey.Huy Votes In England.

Some years ago an investigation Of
election bribery In England disclosed
the following method of buying votes:
An elector entered the agents room.
Agent (holding up three fingers, to
signify three sovereignty: well. Mr..
Smith, how are you to-day ?'' Mr..
Smith: 81 am not very well to-day"
Agent (holding up five fingers): 81
am sorry you are not very we'll to-
day" Mr.. Smith: ooh, am not very
Ill 1t is all right" Then Smith look
ed out of the window while the agent
put five sovereigns on the table. 1t was
then the agents turn to look out of
the window, and when he turned
round again Smith and the money had
disappeared. Smith never saw the
agent put down the money, the agent
never saw Smith pick 1t up. Conse-
quently when parliamentary COM
mission was appointed the agent
swore he never gave Smith any money
and Smith swore that no one gave
him any.

Ais Well,
That Ends Well

J The finale of the part taken by Ar
thur Grant, sergeant alarms In
the local district court, and president
of the Monmouth Financing corpora
ton, in the caravan of Bradley Beach
Republican club members to Trenton,
| last Monday arrived when Arthur was
! fined 81 by Justice of the Peace
George Irons of Ade1phia last Satur-
day for speeding while on the way to
Trenton. going thru Adelphia. :.
According to those in the know, .
| Arthur was left far behind the rest
of the caravan when his speed wagon
suffered two punctures. Anxious to
make up lost time, and not to miss
anything either coming or going
Arthur gave his wagon the gas and
sped serenely towards Trenton until
| he struck Adelphia.
| Adelphia was his Waterloo. The
watchful eye of Constable Pittenger
saw the cloud Of dust which followed
hArthur's wake @nd Constable Pitten-
fuer brought Arthur to grinding
stop py a shrill blast Of his whistle.
1t is understood that before much
jhnd been said by either side Arthur
flashed his sergeant-at-arms badge
on the constable, who apparently
mistook it for a fireman's shield for
lit PLAYED no part in the following
proceedings. Constable Pittenger jubi-
liant and Arthur crest-fallen, appeared
before Justice of the Peace Irons. Ar
thur then explained to the justice
that lost time was being made up to
catch the 80 cars ahead of him Ar
thur then pleaded for postpone
ment of the case.
Whether the justice is Republic
can or Democrat sport, is not the ques-
ton. He told Arthur that II he wish
ed a postponement, it would be nee
essary to place a $25r deposit.
Woe again took hold of the party.
1t developed that Arthur, president
and one of his companions, Abe 81
rota. secretary of financing corpor-
alton. which has loaned thousands
of dollars, could not produce $25 be-
tween them. Neither could the rest
Of the party.
Come another proposition from Ar,
thur: Let me go to Freehold and
got check cashed."
, This request was partly complied
with by the justice who agreed. to let
Sirota 90 to Freehold In Arthur's wag-
on while Arthur and prominent Re
publican woman worker who was &C,
companying the party, were held at
Adelphia as hostages.
SIrota sped smoothly to, Freehold,
cashed the check, and ransomed the
hostages. it is said on good authorl-
ty that Arthur did not violate any
more laws of the state during the re-
mainder. of the trip.
