VENEREED DIAMONDS.
How the Most Deceptive of Arti
ficial Gems Are Mado.
From the London Tlt-niti
The demand for Jewelry has of late
years Increnscd to such nn extent thnt
It has been found necpssnrv tn rin
with It by artificial means. Oulte re.
cently, 31. Molsson, a French scientist,
nns oiscoverea now to make real din
monds out of sugar with the aid of
electricity, and other anvunla Vim-n
been equally successful with carbon,
but the stones are small. and-do not
meet tho renulremonts nf thn mllllnn
which prefers large JeM-els at a low-
price.
Artificial diamonds have heen mnrtn
for more than a hundred vo.ira. the
process being first discovered hy a
uerman named strass. and the pecu
liar kind of glass that bears his nnme
exictly resembles the diamond when
cut. Strass Is nothing more than rock
crystal, to which borax, arsenic, pot
ash and other chemicals have been
added. The Ingredients when thor
oughly pulverized nnd sifted nre plnced
In a crucible and subjected to enor
mous heat In a furnace. The melting
occupies from twenty to thirty-five
hours, and skill Is needed to see that
the proper temperature is maintained
or the strass comes out cloudy and ut
terly useless.
At the expiration of that time the
crucible Is removed nnrt nlnooi in ,,.
other chamber, where the heated at
mosphere Is permitted to gradually
cool and solidify the mnss, which is
then ready to be cut as required. Ex
actly the same process is followed In
making emeralds, except that lnrge
proportions of One white onnH .,,,
green oxide of chrome are melted into
me sirass. upais are by far the most
dllucult stones to Imitate, Indeed, it
Is onlV Within the Inst rler-.irtn thnt
they have been successfully copied with
the aid of electricity and solution of
silicates.
So far the work has heen nrfletlr-nttv
easy, but It now becomes difficult In
the extreme and only the most skillful
workmen are engaged In the depart
ment through which the strass next
passes. The "diamonds" that are sold
for a few pence each are merely pieces
of white strass cut by machinery, and
a yellow tint can be detected In them.
Rut the more costly gems, though
made of the same material, are sub
Jected to a delicate process knonn as
"faclng-up."
Every one is an are that when real
diamonds are cut a mmntitv nf fln
dust is given off which is apparently
valueless, -nut lapidaries collect the
sweepings from the tables and sell
them to tho makers of artificial gems
at M per pound, who purify them with
acid that destroys everything but the
pure diamond oust. This k miv.ri
w-lth another acid and placed under
enormous pressure, which results In
sheets of diamond dust as thin as pa
per neing given oft.
The facets of tho shnm stnn
then covered with transparent cement
and a layer of diamond paper laid
upon them. When rlrv. the fnltn toiv.
els. veneered with the real dust, are so
similar to tile genuine stones that they
are often sot In pure gold, for no one
but an expert can detect the differ
ence and then only with the aid of a
powerful magnifying glass. This Is,
of course, the most expensive artificial
gem made, Inasmuch as one that has
been properly veneered cannot be pur
chased for less than 10s.
Thus It will be seen that no small
amount of skill is required to make
Imitation stones, and the workmen In
the cutting, polishing and faclng-up
departments can command hlch
wages. In the first-named, a-2 ids, to
5 per week is the average salary,
while those who undertnk tho Hon.
cate task of veneering are by no
means ton highly remunerated at tho
rate of from 3 to 6 per week No
metal work Is done at the factories
where these stones are made, the set
ting being left to Other firms ix hn ri

100 to 800 each. Large quantities ate

CANADA'S NEW MINT.
Tho Peoplo Not Quite Certain
Whether They Want One or Not.
r'rom the nuffalo lAprevi
After years of agitation the Canadian
government has decided to estnbllsh
a bunch of tho royal mint In the
Dominion. It will be located In Otta
wa. nnd the government will ask par
liament for an appropiintlon of $50,000
for the cost of building and equipment
and an nnnunl appropiintlon of $75 000
to guarantee the loyal mint authorities
the expenses of the Canadian brunch
Canada Is not quite certain thnt It
wants a mint. The minister of finance
ndmlttcd, In presenting his scsolution
In the house of commons recently,
that "the desire to have a mint In
Canada might be said to be the out
come of a legitimate national pride,"
The probable Incentive was Jealousy
of the ftream of Klondike and British
Columbia gold which poured through
Seattle Into the United States mints.
