Paradoxical ns
Perfection of
Largely Dne to Some Imperfection
In Its Making by Nature.
Paradoxical as it may appear, the
perfection of a gem is largely due to
some imperfection in its make. Some
little mistake made in the laboratory of
nature produces a defective stone
which is perfection itself from the lap
idary’s point of view. Ninety-nine out
of every hundred emeralds dug from
the mine are almost white and of little
% J value, but the hundredth one is of a
❖ J rich velvety green and, if without oth
er flaws than its color, sells for $300 a
carat or 240 times as much as its col
orless brother. The reason of the rich
color which gives the emerald its value
is that nature, in making the stone, put
in too much oxide of chromium, just as
the cook sometimes gets too much sal-
eratus in the biscuits. The standard of
perfection in the laboratory of nature
is the colorless emerald, and her deep
green ones are some of her failures;
failures which, nevertheless, delight
mankind, however much they may dis
gust nature. You could buy a ton of
oxide of chromium for the price which
half a grain of it gives to a cheap and
common crystal.
When nature makes mistakes in man
ufacturing diamonds, the results are
equally remarkable. Her standard for
a diamond is a pure white stone, but
sometimes a foreign substance gets into
the crucible, and the result is a red or
blue diamond. A line white brilliant of
one carat can be bought for $125, but a
blue’ stone of that size would be cheap
at $3,500. A red diamond is of even
greater value, a red stone of fifteen
grains having been sold for $5,000. Yet
the little particle of foreign material
which nature carelessly let fall into the
mixture when she was making that
stone down in the heart of some prime
val volcano Is of less value than a
grain of common salt and only got
there by mistake.
Nature manufactures in her laborato
ry a material called spinel. You can
buy a block of spinel as large as you
can carry for a few dollars. Sometimes
in making spinel small quantities of
chromic acid get into the material and
color it a deep red. The pieces so col
ored nature rejects as spoiled In the
making and throws them in the dust
bin, from which men dig them out and
call them rubies. A ruby of thirty-two
carats recently sold for $52,000. Yet
the material of the cheap spinel and
the valuable ruby are practically the
same, save for that small fraction of
chromic acid which got into the ruby
by mistake.
When nature starts out to manufac
ture opals, she endeavors to make them
without any cracks in them. In this
she seldom succeeds, coming nearest to
perfection in the Mexican opals, which
have few cracks in them and therefore
little luster. The fiery glow of the ori
ental opal and the play of light in tho
depths of that exquisite stone are due
entirely to the numberless cracks
which seam the surface of the gem. It
must give nature a poor opinion of
mankind when she sees him selling tho
Mexican opals, which are nearly per
fect, for 12 cents a carat and paying
$25 a carat for her failures, the cracked
fire opal of the east.
Not only in gems, but in many other
things, does nature make mistakes and
failures, the results of which are high
ly valued by man. Tbe chank shell, a
shell much like the conch shell of these
shores, is one of the commonest shells
on the beaches of India, and millions
of them are gathered and burned for
tbe lime that is in them. Yet in a tem
ple near Kandy, Ceylon, are two chank
shells which hold the place of honor in
a shrine covered with gold, and no
amount of money could buy thorn from
their guardian priests. Their value
consists in the fact that nature was not
quite herself the morning she fabricat
ed these shells and gave a right hand
ed twist to them instead of a left hand
ed one, such as has been given to all
other chank shells, so far as man
knows, since the beginning.
Baron Rothschild once paid $300 a
dozen for some Scbloss Johannisberg
wine, and it is admitted that, taking
everything into consideration, it was
not an exorbitant price. Yet the wine
of the same year from the vineyard di
rectly adjoining the Johannisberg vine
yard, on the same bank of the Rhine,
a vineyard whose soil is, to all appear
ances, the same, only brought $5 a
dozen. And there Is no special secret
about the manufacture of Johannisberg
wine or about the variety of grape
used. Its great value comes from a
little joke of nature. In tbe soil of
the Johannisberg vineyard there is an
infinitesimal amount of a certain salt
which is found in the soil of no other
vineyard. The admixture is so slight
that no chemist has ever been able to
imitate it, yet it is worth many thou
sands a year to tbe owner of the vine
yard.
When Gold Looks Green.
Gold can be beaten out so thin that it
allows light to pass through it, in
which case, though it still appears
brilliant yellow by reflected light, it is
green as viewed by transmission—that
is, by tbe light that passes through it.
This curious effect can easily be ob
served by laying a piece of gold leaf
upon a plate of glass and holding it be
tween ^the eye and the light, when the
gold will appear semitransparent and
of a leek green color.
bey. no work and idleness makes a
good hen a nonproducing loafer. What
fowls need is plenty of exercise. Yrhen
given their liberty, they will wander
miles over the fields and hunt and dig
for bugs and seeds, and then they lay
the most eggs.
Now, if you will make them dig In a
foot of straw for all their grain all
through the winter, also throw some
large sized beef scraps among the
straw, they will dig and hunt all day
long and get the much needed exercise
which imparts the vigor and health
that promote the egg production and
vitality that gives us the greater
amount of fertile eggs. Make them
work for all they get; only feed mash
food, table scraps and green food In the
troughs. If you can have clover hay,
cut it fine and throw among the struw
for them to dig after.

! S
Food Value of Eg?s.
Texas Parra and Ranch gives this
scientific calculation: The amount
of nutritive material which a given
number of eggs will furnish at an;,
stated price per dozen may be readily
calculated. When eggs are 10 cents
per dozen, 10 cents expended in th
food will furnish 1 pound total food
material containing 0.13 pound protein
and 0.09 pound fat, the whole having
fuel value of 635 calorics. At 25 cents
per dozen 10 cents’ worth of eggs will
furnish 0.60 pound total food material,
supplying 0.08 pound of protein, 0.05
pound of fat and furnish 275 calories.
Ten cents expended for beef at S cents
per pound will furnish 1.25 pound
total food material, containing 0.24
pound protein, 0.16 pound fat and 1,120
calorics. Expended for beef sirloin at
20 cents per pound, it will furnish 0.5
pound total J'ood matter, containing
0.0S pound protein, 0.09 pound fat, 1.06
pound carbohydrates and 2,430 calorics.

Grose relates that Caulfield, meeting
Mr. Thomas Sandby. said: “My dear
Sandby, I’m glad to see you. Pray, is
it you or your brother?” It was a
Spaniard who remarked ingeniously
that an author should always write his
■,vn index, let who will write the
>aok. Edgeworth relates the story of
an English shopkeeper who did pretty
well in the direction cf the bull proper
when, to recommend the durability of
some fabric for a lady’s dress, he said,
“Madam, it will wear forever and
make you a petticoat afterward.” This

Good butter will keep sweet for many
weeks when it Is placed in a crock
after being made into rolls wrapped
In strong cheesecloth or old muslin
and then covered with a brine strong
enough to bear up an egg. Saltpeter
and sugar may be added to advantage
while the brine is still hot in the pro
portion of a teaspoonful of the former
and a tablespoonful of the latter to ev
ery four quarts. The brine must, how
ever, not be poured upon the butter
until It is entirely cold.
