DOCTORING A DIAMOND.
Trick That Makes a Yallow Stone Ap
pear Clear Blue White.
Let me show you a little trick that I
would advise you not to put into prac
tice, said a jewel fancier to a number
of friends the other day.
Tbe conversation bad turned to dia
monds during tbe midday luncheon,
and the expert bad been bolding forth
on his favorite subject. Tbe little
group of St Louisans were iuterested
still more when tbe s|>eaker drew a
big solitaire from his finger and beck
oned a waiter across tbe cafe.
"Bring me a glass of water and an
Indelible pencil.” said be when tbe
servitor came over to the table.
“This is a trick that is essentially
crooked,” said the jewel fancier, "and
will get by nine times out of ten even
when tbe examiner is an expert at
judging precious stones and detecting
trickery. It will make a yellow ’off
color’ diamond look like a atone of the
very first water.
Pawnbrokers in
numerable have been fooled by this
same trick, as lt Is extremely difficult
to detect even with a powerful glass.”
The expert took the pencil and allow
ed tbe indelible lead to dissolve in
the glass of water. In a couple of
minutes tbe water was as blue aa indi
go water.
“Now watch," said the man who
knew the lore of jewels.
He took the ring and dropped It into
the glass. Its brilliancy was dimmed
by the hazy, bluish water until it look
ed like a dead stone.
“Now, you noted,” said the demon
strator. "that tbe diamond 1 placed in
there was a bit yellow, lt will be a
clear bluish white when it comes out
of its bath.”
At the end of a minute the stone was
taken out. The top of the gem was
dried with a soft handkerchief and
then the ring was waved to and fro
for a few moments, lt was held up
for Inspection. Not a gleam of yellow
was to be seen. The stone was ap
parently a magnificent blue white gem
that any one would be proud to own
and loathe to pledge.
“It Is the blue pigment deposited on
the back of the stone that has made
• he difference.” said the jewel expert.
“The deposit Is so filmy that a strong
glass cannot detect It You cannot see
It from the rear of the mounting and
only a bath of. alcohol will remove it
It will stay on tbe gem for weeks if It
is not removed in that way. It used
to be a favorite trick of many folks
who now and again bad to put a dis
mond Into the bands of a pawnbroker.
“Tbe trick Is called ’doctoring a
stone,' but as I said in tbe beginning.
I would not advise you to try it.

“Tbe most striking fact connected
with my school career.” said tbe prep
I school graduate, "was a peculiar abll-
| Ity on tbe part of our commandant to
detect the faintest odor of smoke in
a room on bls dally inspection. Tbe
school 1 attended was of tbe military
I variety, and smoking was a rather se-
| j rious offense. No matter how much a
i room had been aired or fanned with
wet towels previous to the Inspection.
1 tbe offender was always caught.
“After 1 had received my finishing
touches and become a citizen 1 made
so bold as to inquire from what pe
culiar dispensation of providence tbe
ability was given to detect one mole
cule of smoke in a buudred cubic feet
of pure air. Tbe old boy smiled and.

reason of his wonderful ability. Then

occasionally, entirely for experimental
purposes, however.
i “I have also sought tbe scientific ex-
planation, but with little success. It
may. however, be somewhat analogous
to the process of tasting. You know.
! it is Impossible to taste anything that
Is not dissolved In water or Is not a
'liquid itself. So tbe moisture on tbe
nostrils must carry the small particles
of smoke In a more or less damp state
to the olfactory nerve ends and thus
make the smell more apparent. At
least this Is tbe only explanation I
have ever found for the phenomenon.
"The same thing can also be used
for detecting other odors, and I have
found lt useful on a numlver of occa
sions for this purpose. Ivoth In analyti
