Mr. Will O.-kanij). wliat is mis of
the p.jcul aritics of your business?"
'Our people have to bs eiluctitcil in
liio matter of apnrcciatingeertain valu
ablo stone. The people of London
ur.e! Now York aro thoroughly posted
on the subject of stones, ami therefore
they know tho value of them. Out
here tho diamond is lookc.l apon as tho
most valuable; in fact, the only really
precious stono that there is. As a con
sequence wo labor under a disadvan
tage, as compared with dealers in the
east. Of course. 1 know that there are
3omq hero who ate informed on tho
subject of precious stone, but I mean
that as a class our people have much to
learn. Tor instance, if 1 were to ask
almost any both that cumo in hero if he
would lik'i to liuv an Alexandrite ho
would not know what 1 meant."
"Tell mo .something about gems?'
What is an Alexandrite?"
"It is dark green in color in day
light and dark red at night. It is
named after tho czar of Kussia, and
ows its celebrity to its prominent lines
of rod anil green, the chosen emblema
tic colors of that empire's Hag."
"Is it true that you can't break a
diamond?"
"A diamond will crack or break as
any other stone, but the cracking will
rod uee SI. 001) to nothing, spite of the.
vulgar tradition that you 'can't break a
diamond.' Only about one in ten is
royal, the others being black anil col
ored (useful in t he arts)."
"How do you get at the value of
diamonds?"
"Tho valuation of gems is arbitrary,
depending on many considerations.
Among them is water. If perfectly
limpid like a drop of the purest water
it is clashed 'first water.' Color comes
next. Colorless ranks highest, whitish
next, while the merest suspicion of
green or blue rather brightens tho
rank of tho white stones. Hose comes
next, and then yellow or amber, but
they must all bis perfect in water and
llawless to rank among tho first class. "
"What about agates?"
'They are translucent all colors.
Agates aro built up layer on layer,
sometimes hundreds to the inch. Those
stained by lnangnanesc or iron in moss
likes figures and veins (moss agates),
.sometimes closely resembling persons
and things, command very high prices."
"Can you give me a chapter on the
amethyst?"
"It is transpirent purple or violet in
color. A cluster as mined generally
contains other crystals of blue, green,
yellow, red, gray and white. The red
crystals are properly rose quart., the
clouded ones smoky quart.; the green
are prase, the yellow 'false topaz,' and
the perfectly clear are rock crystals.
The linest rook crystals are found in
great numbers near Hot Springs, Ark.,
in 'Diamond mountain.' "
"What is a hard stone aside from tho
diam ond?"
"The aqumarinc a transparent beryl
of greenish blue. It is a lovely stone
sister of the emerald, and very hard.
It will cut all the amethysts, but not the
topaz, rtml is not all'ected by acids. The
chrysoberyl (cat's eye) is very hard, but
ranks below saphircs, rubies, etc. It is
transparent to translucent green in
many shades. The chrysopraso is ap
ple green, ami some stones are very
beautiful and h ghly valued."
"How does the emerald rank?"
"The translucent or sitbtransparont
and green var cty of the beryl, just as
the aquamarine is the transparent and
blue varieU, but. it is very much more
highly pr . il, Kincralds"rauk next to
the diamonds, ruby, and liner .sapphire
Oriental em -raid is tho green sapphire
verv rare, very beautilul and valua
ble."" "Aro there stones that can be passed
for another?"
"Tho garnet, which is transparent
and red, depends upon its value alto
gether on its looks, for it can often pass
as a ruby."
"What is a bloodstone?"
'A variety of chaloudony of a deop
green color varigated with blood-red or
yellowish spots! It is properly called
heliotrope."
' "Nanio some otiier stones. I've run
out. "
"Thoro is tho hyacinth cinnamon
stone, transparent, yellow, red, and
brown. There tvo garnet hyacinths
and zircon hyacinths. Although its in
trinsic qualities ought to rank tho zircon
hyacinths first the market rates it sec
ond. Then there is the legalite (blue
spar), translucent and deep blue. Only
the line var eties are valued for jew
elers' purpo-e-. Next tho malachite,
translucent green, used for clocks,
vases and pailor ornaments, slabs, etc.

Tho onvx is childly valued for cutting
cameos. The choice colors in true
onyx aro. white, black, and brown.
Sardonyx has also a film of canieluui
red. Tho opal s transparent white,
palo yellow, grov, green, and rod. It
owes' its value to its peculiar power of
exhibiting a wonderful plav of colors
as it is t.irnod to various angles. Tho
most remarkable is tho lire-opal. Prec
ious opal is tho ve'r finest anil most
delicately shaded and tinted of opals.
Of tho rubv Uteris is tho spinel, trans
parent light, me Hum or dark rod. The
oriental sapph ri ruby is of the same
description, and verv diflicult to distin

harder. As a general rule tho or.ontals
aro tho most valtiabln. and spinels of
equal bounty are handicapped by repu

and some an-jn'rr'i-ctly colorless. When
these are entirely transparent and other
wise p rfect tne.v have a h gh value also,
for they often pass as rub es, sapphires,
and diamonds. Another highly valued
stone is the tourma! tie. It is transpar
ent, yellow, red, green, blue. The clear,
rich stones are greatly prized, The red
is called rubellit'. and is often sported
as a ruby, as is the yellow for a topaz.
Some amber and honey-colored yellow
tourmalines aro among tho most beau
tiful gems in ox stence.

brooches and other jewelry, in which
slab-shaped blocks can be utilized. Also
for expensive inla d work in mosaics.
It ranks higher with the artists as a
color than aq.iatnarine, but as a gem it
is not valuable.

CELEBRATED DIAMONDS.
Itoiiutlltil (ionii Worth Thousands of
Dollars.
The largest diamond known is that
of tiie "Rajah of Mattan" in Borneo.
It was found on the island about twenty
years ago. and weighs ,'JC7 carats; it is
a pearl shaped stone, with a small hole
or crevice at its short end.
"Great Mogul" The diamond known
under this name lias received an
amount of attention beyond any otiier.
Under the name of the "Kohinoor"
(mountain of light) it played an im
portant part in the exhibition of 18.11.
The history of this stone dates back to j
50' H. C; but there is nothing known
with certainty about it until tho
beginning of the fourteenth century.
After tho annexation of tho Punjab by
the English government it came into
tho possession of the queen of England
on June IS, 1S50. Its weight then was
18( 1-10 carats, of an irregular egg-like
shape, and valued at !?700.()00. It was
then reduced to 10(5 1-15 carats, and
made into a regular cut brilliant.
The "OrlolV," or Amesterdam dia
mond, weighs 191. '1-4 carats, and is set
in tlie top of the Russian imperial
scept -r. It is of pure water, but not
cut to advantage. It was bought by
Catherine II. in the year 177i of Shaf
ras, in Amsterdam, for .?4i0,00), giv.ng
him at the same time a title and a pen
sion of $20.O'J0 for life.
The diamond well-known tinder tho
name of the. "shah" was given to the
emperor of Russia by Prince Cosroes,
younger brother of the Abbe Mir.a,
when he was in St. Petersburg. It
weighs only 75 carats, but is perfectly
pure, without a Haw or cloud, and it is
interesting inasmuch as-it is only partly
cut, many of its natural surfaces being
preserved. The cut facets contain Per
sian inscriptions, and there is a little
groove around the top of it to which a
cord was fastened, in order that it might
be worn about the neck.
One of the most perfect brilliants is
the celebrated Pitt, or Regent, which is
among the French crown jewels. It
weighs i:i(i,')-4 carats. It once orna
mented the sword of Napoleon I. Ile
foro it was cut it weighed 410 carats.
The 1'lorentino diamond, among the
crown jewels of the emperor of Aus
tria, weighs 1I59J carats. It is of pure
water, of beautiful color, and, notwith
standing its color is somewhat of a
c.tron tint, it is valued at i?.2.),000.
The Sancv diamond weighs fliJJ
carats, and came from India about the
lifteonth century. It was sold by
Napoleon to the emperor of Russia for ,
.37,000.
The Star of the South is tho largest ;
diamond found in Brazil, and weighs
251 carats. It is a brilliant of the
purest water.
The Pasha of Egypt is cut on eight
sides, weighs 40 carats, and cost $1-10,-000.
The Pigott diamond, brought from
India by Lord Pigott, weighs 821 carats.
In 1801 it was sold in a lottery for
8150,000.
The Nassac, formerly in tlie posses
sion of the East India company, weigh
ed 8'Jl carats; but sinco Lord West
minster had it cut anew it weighs only
78 carats. Its value is about150,000.

A Great Sen on Fire.
Tho shores of the Caspian abound
with naphtha springs extending for
miles under tho sea, tho imprisoned
gnsea of this volatile substances often
escaping from tlie lis ores in its bed and
bubbling up in largo volumes to the
surface. This circumstanco iias given
rise to tho practice of "setting the sea ;
on lire," which is thus described by a
modern traveler: "hiring a steam
barge wo put out to sea, and, after a
lengthv search, found a suitable spot.
Our boat having moved round to wind
ward, a sailor threw a bundle of burn
ing flax into tho sea, when Hoods of
light dispelled tiio surrounding dark
ness. No fireworks, no illuminations,
aro to bo compared to tho sight that
presented itself to our gaze. It was
as though tho sea trembled convulsively ,
am d thousands of shooting, dancing
tongues ot ilamo of prodigious size.
Now they emerged from tho water,
now thoy disappeared. At one time
they soared aloft and melted away; at I
anothor a gust of wind divided them '
into dark streaks of ilame, tho foam
ing. bubbling billows making niiislo to
the scene. In compliance to tho wishes ,
of some of our spectators our barge i
was steered toward the llamos, and
passed through tho midst of them, a I
somewhat dangerous oxnorimont. as '
tho bargo was employed in the trans-1
port of naphtha, and was pretty well '
sntni.,itil with tins 11 1 1 id. Ilnwnvor. we

the old people, and Mary's choice wna n

published tho parent said: "Mary, It you
will tarnish the text I will preach you rt
wedding sermon." Slio was equal to the
tusk and gave the text: ".Mary hath
I'hoscn the good part, which shnll not be
taken from her." Needless to say thai
justice was done to the occasion and the
lexl. Not no with Marciiret, who in thf

A Combat Between a Cow mid a

A combat between a cow and a gander la
described by a newspaper ot Albany, Ga.
Tho cow made a violent attack on the gan
der, when, with much deliberation and
coolness, tho bird, ns tlie cow rushed on
him, caught a strong hold with his beak on
tho hair and hide between the horns ami
Happed hiswingH furiously. Tho astoninhotl
cow wns glad to shako her antagonist ott
Uut alter retreating a few feet nml lookinj
upon the proud neck and insigtiillcant torin
of the haughty bird she concluded to try
him another round, and again dnshed at
the gander, who was a little more deliber
ate, it possible, in taking his hold, and
witli switt and strong wings ho showered
his blows on tho eyes ol tlie Too. Tho con
had evidently miscalculated the prowess
ot her diminutive enemy, and alter consid
erable elfort shook the pugnacious bird oil
and beat a retreat.

In a Montana court a suit involving tin
title to six mining claims was several yonit
ago decided by Judgo W. in some myster
ious way by which ho gavo four claims to
ono side and two to tho other. Alter the
decision was announced an attorney in the
case mot one ot the litigants, an honest old
Missourinn, and asked him what he thought
ot it.
"Wall," ho replied, "I think Judgo W.did
about tho fa'r thing. Yer sec, thar war foui
ol us an' two o' them. That would be u
claim apiece. An' tho judgo ho guv foui
claims to us an' two to tlipm, so each mac
gits a claim. I don't see how ho could ha1
done much fa'rer than that."
II lit. tho judgo never enjoyed being joked
about the peculiar legal principle on whicli
ho had decided that caso.
