Hy Barrett 1. Scnixs one of the most singular applica tions of the strange powers of ultra joht rays of light, and of tlx; streams of hroken atoms that gush fn :n a hit of radium is the l eautifica tion of gems and precious stones. These radiations seem to possess a nj teriour, influence over the atomic constitution of crysalline suhstances, which results sometimes in an altera tion, or a deepening, of color, ami sometimes in an increase of hrilliancy. Not Infrequently hoth these effects are simultaneously produced. Recently experiments of this kind have .een tried upon tho most deli cate of all gems the pearl with re sults' ahout which experts disagree. It is reported that a Paris jeweller allowed a Hindoo export to "peel" a pearl, valued at Jl.ti'O, and then su'omit it to the action of ultra-violet rays, the result 1-eing that the gem lost ono-lifth of its original weight, !ut gaincl so much in "erient," and in hvauty of color that its value was increased to more than $50a90h "I'eelin-c" in this ease, means remov ing an outer layer from tho scries of concent ri- laminae of which :i pearl c onsists, and which rtsemhle the suc cessive "cota.-" of an onion. Tio word "orient." which is cur rently employed among pearl mer chants, is a poetic trope hased upon th" id :c of sunrise, and refers to the peculiar iridesccr.ro of tho pearl. It is analogous to the word "water," as used to express t lie relative lustre of diamonds. Put notwithstanding the alleged success of tho Paris jeweler's experi ment with his gem. a London expert is quoted as declaring that a hetter way to "doctor" a pearl is simply to came known wear it. This is no new legend, hut one that has often heen repeated. In some of its forms a mystic connec tion with the fortunes of the wearer is assumed. There is no elouht that pearls arc moie siihject to outside in lluenees than are stones like the dia mond. Tli e London expert just referred to, says: "A pearl necklace that is worn once, or twice a menth will go on for half a eeritury and slum- no change. Lock the same necklace up for -J years and all the glow and lustre are gone, and the pearls look like wax heads. In its manner of origin the pearl differs from all other gems. It is not a stone, in the ordinary sense, hut fa growth of mineral matter, around a nucleus, consisting ef a minute grain of sand, or other hard ohject. or perhaps a parasite, which serves as a center of irritation inside the shell of an oyster, and which gradually he-comes encysted, or encased in suc cessive layers of carhonate of lime secreted hy the physiological pro- j cesses or tiie living animal. various species of oyster are oapahle of form ing pearls, hut they ece)nie true gems only when secreted in the hodies of species whose shells are' lined -with a nacreous, or nearlv sun-i stance. Tho pearls sometimes found in ordinary oysters arc dull, shape less, and usually without value. i rV The old Persians, who put the pearl above all other gems, had a legend that they were, formeel of cyrstallized raindrops which had chanced to fall into the shells of oysters as the ani- j mals lay airing themselves on the Peach. Even the Roman philosopher Pliny could see nothing implorahle in the supposition that the drops f wa ter, once inside the shell of the oys ter, could he hardened hy mingling with the secretions of the animal. One of the most famous pearls in history was founel hy a negro 1 oy at Panama in the days of the4 Spanish conquests. It was pear-shaped and as large as the largest pigeon's egg. It was presented to Philip II. and he ns "La Peh'grina" and was regarded as a pmdigy. It was worn as a hat buckle by several kings of Spain, then as an ornament for the hair of a. epicon and linally it found its way to Russia, where it .seems to have disappear :d. Whatever th- real facts may he as to the improvement of the lustre of pa: iris hy treatment with ultra-violet light, or other rare rays, there seems lo ; x o I V M X 0 o 1 On Children's Bright May Shoes A 11 fT I J3 N T ii ti A ViUi 'W V O 0 HUDSON RIVER A FAIRYLAND OF GLIMMERING LIGHTS r n '.rr ... s.:... -U. -.

Among these are sapphires. 'When sapphires of unde sirable color are put into a box with a little radium bromide, and left shut tip with that miracle worker for a month, they come out transfigured into gems of beauty, the eolers being all changeel for the better.
