DOCTORING A DIAIYIUNU
Trick That Makes a Yellow 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
The conversation had turned to dia
monds during the midday luncheon
and the expert had been holding forth
on his favorite subject The little
group of St Louisans were interested
I still more when the speaker drew a
big solitaire from his finger and beck-
oned a waiter across the cafe
Bring me a glass of water and an
indelible pencil said he when the
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 the examiner is an expert at
judging precious stones and detecting
trickery It will make a yellow off
color diamond look like a stone of the
very first water Pawnbrokers in
numerable have been fooled by this
same trick as it is extremely difficult
to detect even with a powerful glass
The expert took the pencil and allow
ed the indelible load to dissolve in
the glass of water In a couple of
minutes the water was as blue as 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 the diamond I placed in
there was a bit yellow It 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 It 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
the 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 the 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 had to put a dia
mond into the hands of a pawnbroker
The trick is called doctoring a
stone but as I said in the beginning
I would not advise you to try ir I
dont know what the law on such
matters is in Missouri but there are
states where a person convicted of
such an offense would seme a lung
penitentiary term for his cleverness

How Artificial Furs Are Mads
The raw pieces of pelt are frozen
and the skin carefully shaved off
thawed and sent to the minimus to
be made into leather The frozen fur
which remains is allowed to thaw
slightly at the bottom so that a siuIl
part of the hair is freed from ice
This thawed portion is then iMvred
with a solution of rubber winch is
allowed to set
The result is that large seiimless
pieces of fur are obtained much
cheaper than those which come with
the natural skin These same artifi
cial furs are said to be more lasting
than the real because they are im
mune from the attacks of moths

ony recently begun to attract much
attention Seme highly important
work has been done with sand vetch
in the south notably by Duggar in
Alabama but for the north it may as
well be trankly confessed that sand
vetch is a plant about which much is
said and little Is known Seed firmj
through descriptions of it in their cat
alogues have perhaps more than any
other agency kept the plant before
the public
Several qualities conspire against
universal culture of the plant
1 Its seed is high priced seldom
gettirc it seems much below o per
bushel
2 Much seed is required per acre
one to one ann a half bushels sixty to
ninety pounds per acre being gen
erally recommended Less than thirty
pounds is seldom if ever seeded
3 Though under favorable condi
tions and when properly handled it
may reseed itself indefinitely the
plant is nevertheless an annual or at
most a fall annual like winter wheat

quickly lose its vitality seed more

yielded in hay but one third one-quarter
or in at least one instance less
than one tenth of what inoculated
plats did
There seems then good reason for
not rushing headlong into the at
tempted growing of sand vetch The
most that can as yet be said in its
favor is that it is a promising crop
for certain sections of Nebraska ana
as such is worthy of trial in a small
way and entirely preliminary way an
acre patch at the most Where red
clover or alfalfa thrives there seems
at least as yet little occasion to tam
per with sand vetch Unfortunately
however there are large sections of
Nebraska notably the high lands of
the western third or fourth of the
state and also the sandhill region
where save for exceptional and re
stricted areas like some of the valley
land even alfalfa will either not grow
at all or at best is unsatisfactory If
permanent agriculture is to exist at
all in these sections the finding of
some legume which will be to this re
gion -what clover and alfalfa are to the
east and to the valleys is imperative
It is not a question of a legume or no
legume but merely as to what legume
Of the various legumes now some
what cultivated and more or less un
derstood but two seem at present to
have any especial promise One of
these is sweet clover the second is
sand vetch At best prophecy is dan
gerous and often unwise but it seems
not altogether improbable that for the
hard lands of western Nebraska sweet
clover may in time prove of value
while for the sandhill region sand
vetch may be found useful On the
other hand it is entirely possible that
one or the other of these plants may
prove better than its jival in both
sections or indeed thatboth may fail
in either region and some now little
known legume prove exactly the thing
Among the uncertainties of the le
gume problem in the sections men
tioned two factors stand out in bold
relief 1 That sweet clover and
sand vetch are promising enough to
be worthy of careful cautious trial in
a small way 2 That some legume
or other must be found
Gasoline Engines for Pumping
By C K Shedd Department of
cultuial Engineering University of
Nebraska
At the piesent time gasoline engines
are being used by a great many farm
ers and stockmen in Nebraska for
pumping water Probably many oth
ers are contemplating the installation
of an engine pumping plant A few
figures regarding the cost of pumping
with a gasoline engine may be of in
terest
It may as well be said at the outset
that where only small quantities of
water are used the cheapest power
for pumping is the windmill The
windmill has a number of advantages
The operating expense is practically
nothing It requires very little atten
tion although it should have more at
tention than it gets on many farms
Bolts should be kept tight and bear
ings well lubricated It is well to use
on the farm for other purposes it re
it up to the pump
The size of engine required for ordi
nary farm pamps is from one half to
one horse power It is advisable how
ever when purchasing a gasoline en
gine to get one a little larger say from
two to four horse power Then belt
the eneine to a line shaft and belt
from this shaft to the pump the grind
stone emery wheel small corn sheller
etc In this way the engine is made

however an engine is already in use
of which are that a decree of dis
t may be made of the
quires only a small outlay to connect idue of said estate now in his
to do much more work and is there
fore a more profitable investment
The engine has several advantages
over tne winamm on a large iarm
The engine pumps water faster and
steadier than the windmill and this
is especially true if pumping into an
elevated or a pressure tank with the
use of an engine It is not necessary
to have so large a supply tank A
two days supply is sufficient where
as with the windmill a stockman is
not safe unless his supply tank will
hold a two weeks supply of water
A few tests have been run at the
Nebraska Experiment station on a
small pumping plant installed by the
Department of Agricultural Engineer
ing for experimental purposes
The engine is a three horse power
It is belted to a line shaft and this
shaft is belted to pump jack feed
