The Savannah Morning News from Savannah, Georgia • 12

12 si mm 7 jJI The season of debutants and receptions Is approaching rapidly, and already the speculative mind of the society devotee has begun to anticipate the gaieties of the coming season. Receptions are a favorite means of entertaining and it has been asked by inquiring minds the duties atfid costumes of hostess and guest. Of course, to those accustomed to the demands and conventionalities of society, they know quite well already all that is expected of them. To the quiet people who have been taking a rest from the ways of the gay world, the following conventionalities may have been forgotten. The guest should certainly wear full dress, an evening dress is preferable, but a high-necked dinner dress is also appropriate, and by no means hat or bonnet after gaslight.

To an after-tea hats and bonnets are suitable, but never to be worn after dark, which is, of course, the evening of the day, and only evening dress is appropriate. Next Tuesday evening the Music Culture Club will give the first opening concert of the series. The boxes will be occupied by the committee of the club, and ilemi-toilets will probably be worn, particularly in the parquet, and no hats are expected. This will give the theater a full-dress appearance and will add to the interest and eclat of the occasion. During the opera week other social functions were postponed and the theater was a popular rendezvous of society people.

Box parties were in vogue and gallery parties are also becoming a part of the Vaudeville customs. The improved theater and the evening-gowned women in the audience with the drawing-room effect of toilets, adds a luster to the social season of plays and operas. Tho becoming head-dress of the ladies are not obtrusive and they answer the purpose. The men are improving, too, and do not disturb the audience by their restlessness. Some half dozen huge, broad-brimmed, beplumed, befeathered and public nuisance hats were again seen to great disadvantage in the opera house during last week.

It is a disappointment, you know, when one wants to see pretty, piquant Addie Arnold, to have the view obstructed by a black broad-brimmed hat. All who are interested in the Chautauqua class are expected to meet next Tuesday, Nov. 5, at noon at No. 91 Hall street. This Chautauqua course will, no doubt, be taken by quite a number of ambitiously inclined people.

It has such a world-wide reputation and is so well known that it has become a household word among cultivated families. The reception given by Mr. H. M. Comer to Mr.

Samuel Spencer last Thursday evening at the De Soto was one of the social affairs of the past week and was attended by many of the prominent business men of the city. The reception after the Massie-Carruthers wedding last Monday evening was one of the interesting social events of the past week. The rooms were prettily decorated with chrysanthemums and plants.

THE EXPERTS ESSILY TELL THE GOOD FROM THE HAD. Adornment Aot llte Only Use of Wide Employment In tlie Mechanical Are Affected by Heat. From the New Y'ork Sun. Nothing in nature is oftener looked for and more easily found than the diamond, and many supposed finds prov disappointrof nts. The line diamond should clear and pure as rock water, perfect in shape, and not only pure white, but lively, showing fire, as it is termed.

Any undecided tint of brown, yellow, gray, or other color is a positive blemish. The simpli st test to identify the diamond is to hold the stone firmly against a wet, rapidly revolving grindstone for from five to ten minutes. If the least mark appears upon the piece it is not a diamond, for if it were a diamond, so far from any mark being produced on it, it would be likely, on the other hand, to make a deep impression in the grindstone. The same tost may be made with emery paper, or an emery wheel, neither of which, although harder than a grindstone, will make any Impression upon a diamond. We often hear It said that a number of different stones will cut glass.

The truth is, that only the natural edge of a diamond crystal will cut glass, while many stones, such as the sapphire, ruby, quartz and even common paste, will scratch It. Some diamonds exhibit an abnormal degree of hardness, especially some very beautiful black ones from Borneo, which cannot lie ground or polished by anything but their own dust, ordinary diamond dust, frequently, havtpg no effect Pon them at all. One of these was made the subject of special experiment by Babmet of Baris, in behalf of the French Academy of Sciences, it showed great resistance to the polishing wheel, and the process of preparing if took a verv long while. A similar experiment was made in this country in 3885 and ISSU by myself at -Messrs. Tiffany New Y'ork.

The stone here was a round piece of Brazilian bort, with a radiated internal structure. It was kept on a polishing wheel made of hard iron with a diameter of one foot for seven and one-half hours a day for nine months, the wheel turning at the rate of 2,500 to 3,000 revolutions per minute. and giving three feet of traveling surface to the stone. The total distance traversed was 170,000 miles, or about seven times tiie eurcumference of the globe, but the result was the polishing of omy about one square centimeter of surface. With an ordinary diamond fully a hundred times as much would have been accomplished.

Diamonds vary widely in hue; the purest are-perfectly colorless and transparent, but they ure found in almost every color of the spectrum, the commonest being white, yellow, or brown, yellowish green, bottle green, and rarely rose red, blue, or black. to tho yellow-greenish, yellow' diamonds are the most numerous. The black arc very rare, and when the diamond is taken between the brown anil the black, its transparency entirely disappears, or is seen only at the angles. Perfectly colorless diamonds come from the mines of India, Brazil, the Cape and Australia. Perhaps about 10 per cent, of the crystals which come into the market are colorless or of pure white; one-fourth are of fair color, with a flaw or spot of color, and the remainder are off-colored, called second quality, or bywater.

Nearly one-lialf is only bort. Colored diamonds exhibit their lustre and clearness best when cut. especially the yellow ones, which by artificial light are very brilliant. Stones either perfectly colorless or having decided tints of rose-red, green, or blue are most highly prized. Fine cinnamon and salmon tints, or brown, black, or yellow stones, are also esteemed.

If flawless and without tint of any kind, they are termed "first If they possess a steely blue color, at times almost opalescent, they are called blue-white. Such are usually Brazilian stones. Exceptionally perfect stones are termed gems, and for such there ts no fixed value, the price depending on their purity, perfection, and brilliancy, freedom from flaws. It is impossible to estimate the value of a diamond by its weight alone, as color, brilliancy, cut, and general perfection must all be tuken into account. Of two stones, both flawless and weighing ten carats each, one may be worth S6OO, and the other $12,000.

Exceptional stones often bring special prices, whereas off-colored or imperfect stones sell at from S3O to $75 a carat, regardless of their size. As the diamond is a solid substance, a mist is formed by breathing on it, and the mist being white, enables us to detect any color in the stone; or if the stone is unset, it may be placed on a sheet of white paper and breathed on. and while the mist is clearing away the faintest trace of color, and even flaws and imperfections, if visible to the naked eye, will become apparent. If the stone is unset and we fold a sheet of paper and look down on the side of the stone, we can trace any color that exists within, for the same reason that a piece of plate glass when looked through appears deep green on the ends. A small pile or paper of diamonds will show- color, whereas a single stone may appear hite to the unpractised eye; as likewise a sheet of plate glass one-fourth of an inch thick and one foot long is seen to he green, though a piece one inch square appears white, the color in both cases being condensed in the quantity.

For this reason off-colored diamonds are frequently cut with a very low, flat crown, (the part of the stone above the center). This disguises the color, though at a loss of brilliancy. In many diamonds the interior of the crystal, the core as it is called, is not clear, but shows greenish or blackish spots, particularly in the green stones. Many have also and fissures, which impair the passages of light. By means of chemical agents and a high temperature Barbot claims to have succeeded in removing the coloring matter from rough diamonds; green, red and yellow stones becoming perfectly colorless, while the dark yellow, brown and b'aek gave up very little of their color, seems scarcely possible, though AI.

Barbot. on the title page of one of his works, stvles himself, "Inventor of a process to decolorize a rough De Boot made the same claim in 160S. and in 1880 the English government granted a patent for the same process. De Boot says that his imperial patron, Rudolph 11, possessed a secret which enabled him to clear any diamond of flaws and color. No such process Is now known, and a fortune would await its discoverer.

It is claimed that some yellow diamonds turn upon heating, like topazes, but, them, resume their former color after a time. The umond Is one of the gems most readily identified by the "ye, and It is r.ext impossible to dec an experienced dealer. Let one of several imitations. or even such precious stones as while topaz, sapphire, beryl, phenaeite, be put among a lot of thousands of diamends. While a dealer i- counting he can at a glance detect the false ones and throw them out without Hi ssing the count, even if be Is eounti i.r three at a time, more rapidly than lids could counted.

The various tests described by the press, such as the use of acids, files, are never resorted to by the jeweler. More persons than would be suposed know diamonds, and. once having worn them, one is not likely ever to wear paste through deception. It must also be said that the danger of buying imitation stones js not so great as that of getting diamonds 139 2 139 BROUGHTON STREET. BROUG HTON 1 STREET.

worth not one-half their price, owing to inferior quality. The fact that the diamond can be burned was tlrst observed by Cosmo I of Tuscany 1691. He used a powerful lens concentrating the rays, and found that in the heat the diamond was consumed. Previous to that time it was believed that this hardest of all stones was intiesmictible by! either acids or tire. If enclosed in a retort or crucible, from which air is excluded, it does, indeed, seem unaffected by any amount of heat that we can apply, but If air Or oxygen gas lie admitted and the temperature be raised to a point that corresponds to 5,090 degrees of Farenheit's scale, the diamond will burn like, coal, uniting with oxygen to form carbon dioxide.

It is also proved that if a diamond be heated in a crucible with lion, the latter is converted into steel by union with the carbon of the diamond. There is another variety of diamond carbon that differs greatly from the gem form, being brown, grayish black, and black; this is known as black diamond, bort, bortz, carbon or carbonado, and is entirely distinct from the crystalline form. Then there are rounded masses, with a lustre, and an imperfect radiated crystalline structure within, apparently made of a twining of many cubic crystals, white, gray to black, and translucent. Thfse are called round bort, and are found in irregular masses with no crystalline form or aspect. Both these forms are obtained in the province of Bahia, Brazil.

Round bort has varied from $3 to SL'O a carat within the past fifteen years. All these are va 1 liable for their cutting power, and command good prices, though the African or Rape bort, as it is called, is less esteemed than the Brazilian carbonado, because its crystalline structure renders it liable to break or cleave under strain; yet it is used in sawing marble. Both carbonado and round bort are harder and tougher than crystalline diamonds, and are less dense, owing, probably, to a porous structure, or to minute cavities. A fraud has, at times, been practiced with the materials by coating them with lampblack and wax, which produced a fine compact black appearance and increased the price, the wax being sold at the price of the best grade of carbon. Its great hardness gives the diamond, in all its forms, a.

high importance in the mechanical arts. The poor, flawed, and imperfect crystals, the fragments and cleavages, and the powder produced by crushing them, are all used for cutting, polishing, and engraving precious stones, glass, but the hard, black varieties, bort or carbonado, are extensively employed in large operations, "What is called the diamond drill, invented by Lesshot in 1860, has revolutionized the methods of tunneling, mining and well-boring in the course of a few years. The general idea of it is a steel tube of the size desired for the boring, say from one to eight inches in diameter, on the extreme end of which are fastened a number of small pieces of bort. By means of suitable machinery this tube is then rotated, pressing against the rock to be penetrated. The result is that the tube rapidly cuts its way into the rock, making a smooth, circular hole; while a rod or core of the rock passes up inside of the advancing tube, and is removed piece by piece as it rises.

These cores are often of great value, as exactly showing the kind and thickness of rock traversed in any such working; and drilling in mining and engineering operations 'is frequently resorted to simply for this purpose. It was due to diamond drills that the Mt. Cents and other great tunnels were completed in a few time. At the great salt deposits of New Iberia, the company desired to ascertain the depth of tin- mas of rock salt, and sank a boring for the purpose. The drill penetrated through 600 feet of solid salt, the cores furnishing the evidence, and 80,000 feet can be drilled in a perpendicular line.

Tools with diamond edges are used for and grooving the faces of emery wheels and grindstones; for trueing the faces of hardened steel, rubber, porcelain, granite, celluloid, and calendar rolls; for trueing the inside of case-hardened cylinders for gas engines; for cutting all Cloth Capes, velvet collar, full sweep; our price worth $5.00.

It is easy now to sink artesian wells to far greater depths, and at far less cost than would be possible without the diamond drill. Another similar application has lately been announced. A thin circular disk of steel several feet In diameter is set with a number of pieces of diamond or bort, firmly brazed in place and distributed over its sides. This disk, when rotated, forms a circular saw of great power, which will cut through large blocks of hard stone very easily, and at very small cost. For sawing sandstone, granite, and other hard stones, the diamonds are brazed into the edges of a straight blade of iron, which gradually cuts the stone while It is drawn back and forth.

The name "diamond or "diamond is given to small natural diamonds used for glass cutting; "diamond (commonly called "writing are small cleavings of diamonds put into a metal handle and used for writing on glass and other hard substances. thin cleavage plates of diamond that are drilled with minute holes of various sizes and used for drawing fine gold, silver, brass and iron wire; a single slab will draw miles of wire. These are now successfully made by D. D. Palmer of Waltham, Mass.

Thin are drilled by charging a fine iron point with diamond dust, which frequently requires weeks of time. The name Is applied to the material that falls from two diamonds when rubbed together in the cutting process, or to bort itself when it is crushed, to be used on soft iron wheels for slicing and engraving precious stones, glass, metal and other substances. Avery curious and interesting fact Is the occurrence of diamonds, or, at least, of diamond carbon, in meteoric stones and visitors to our earth from interplanetary space. Diamond was first discovered in a meteorite at Novo Russia, some ten years ago, and in 1891 its presence was recognized in the meteorite found at Canon Diablo, Arizona. It was detected by Dr.

A. E. Foote, described by Profs. Koenig and Huntington, analyzed by Friedei. and, finally, its hardness tested by Dr.

Huntington and myslf. As a conclusive test we subsequently polished two diamonds with the powder taken from the meteorite in the Tiftanv cutting exhibit at the World's Columbian Exposition in September, 1893. Mr. Albert Sillers's Double. From the Washington Post.
