INGENIOUS PROCESSES.
At Idar various Ingenious processes are ei

Imitate gems of value. Acids and colofi
matters are used for this purpos ? Counti
felt cat's eyes , for example , are produced
soaking In acid n kind of stone called , "

ANY GEM IMITATED.
There Is no kind of gem that Is not I
tated by the artisans of Idar with wondei
skill The ruby Is counterfeited by coint
Ing a piece of garnet with a piece cf gl ;
the former serving for the front and the lal
for the back. The two are stuck toget
with a transparent balsam. The balsam
colored In various ways , so as to diffuse wl
ever tints may bo desired through the st
or glass to which It Is applied. In this v
'wo pieces of rock crystal united with bals
make an opal , and an aquamarine ts produ
by a slight modification of the Mine proci
Artificial turquoises , of enamel , are sold
$2.50 a dozen , and rubles , which nro red f
nets backed with tinfoil , come at $3 a doz
By such Ingenious methods all other kinds
precious stones are brought within easy reef
of poor folks.
The simplest device for making counter
gems Is thst of the so-called "doublet , " wl :
Ii pioduced by joining two pieces of qua ;
crystal with green , red or blue balsam
perlor Imitations are obtained by more ci
plicated mcthuls. Paste diamonds are i
dered more effective by depositing stiver
the back with electricity Diamond doub
are sometimes composed of two pieces
crystal with silver foil between. Anot
process consists In uniting a thin slice of i
diamond to a glass base. Emeralds are co
terfelted In the sime way by joining red i
net with quartz-crystal. A blue color Is g" "
to the white sapphires by applying a 11
blue dye to the bottom of the stone Ci
paratlvely few real peirls are worn novvadt
The Imitations , which are nearly as pre
are globules of glass lined wl'h a substa
obtained from the scales of a fish called
bleak " It Is this substance which gives
peculiar Iridescence to the scales of m
fishes.
In jewelers' shops are frequently dlspla
glass reproductions of the most fam
diamonds of the world. These are cut
Grunhelnchen , In Bohemia. Most Interest
of the originals , perhaps , arc those of nut
the-way colors , such as the celebrated t
Hope diamond and the great red dlam
belonging to the czar of all the Hussiaa. '
finest existing green diamond Is In the gr
vault at Drcslen , In whlcn are preserved
royal treasures of Saxony. Most of tl
treasures have come down from th mli
ages. The diamond Is pear-shaped , tlarv
university possesses the most perfect oets

Within the last few years a large parl
the business of cutting diamonds has mo
from Amsterdam to London , owing to
fact that the greatest existing mines of t !

Urltlsh capitalists. Workmen In this
have been Imported recently Into the Un
States. The first diamond cutting In
country was done In 1850 In the city of I

diamonds In existence are worth collects
nine times as much as all the other preci

tame time , fine rubles are worth very m
more per carat than dmm ndi. A perfec
