set I 1 tf all ail the I 1 mayants savants of europe to talking for a long longtime time in certain IndU industries SIes 1 heated bauxite has been used to make 1 VM very hard substances for the fabrication 1 ai of artificial millstones to be utilized I 1 in manufactories manu factories of various sorts the object of manufacture was to produce a substance to take the place of at what is known as the emery of at naxos r a manufactured by the greek government and about which more braggadocio has been indulged in than about N anything athing else naxos emery did not coane up to expectations but so great 1 was the outcry of the greek manufacturers I 1 rs when this was suggested that V the french dealers made up their minds to flud find a substitute and in bauxite ba ux they discovered it for a time no one thought of bauxite as other than use fulfor the purpose for which it was originally intended but the idea final I 1 it ly occurred to some one that instead of calci ning the bauxite I 1 it would be a K f goodplan good plan to melt it this is exactly what was done and in this manner was obtained a product harder even than bauxite diamantine which is nothing jess ess than melted in the electric y furnaces these Thes were the steps leading up to the grand climax as it were L which was followed by the birth of the first counterfeit of rare gems the world ever knew which even experts cannot detect A savant bearing the suggestive name tf of gin happened to have his attention attracted to the matter at this time and the idea occurred to him t that hat possibly there was an opportunity for development upon which no one had seized he gave the matter very serious thought and finally ally it came to him that the first stepin step in the course of development was to volatilize the this action acteon was very easily accomplished complis hed in the electric furnace the operation giving rise to thick reddish brown clouds which are so incon lenient to those experiment in matters scientific by combining ceri eerily I 1 tain vapors with those of M ir j gin obtained rubies by the hundred I 1 the amazement even to the inventor of the process which this wonderful achievement caused was promptly followed by expressions of disbelief even from the friends of the very genius who had given birth to the idea make rubies they said what nonsense will this man not tell us na next that he can manufacture a fortune in diamonds before breakfast 1 M gin told them all that they would believe him in time provided they would could ha have ve patience but still they scoffed lfeo and so the inventor went oti on determined ter mined to prove to the world that not f only was he right but that his deductions had been absolutely true from the first his EUs patience was rewarded at last and now the most skeptical of the sc offers will not only admit that M X gin Is right bait that they should have believed him from the first after the scientist had perfected his apparatus he set about protecting it and thus it Is that while few have been aware of the existence of the process M gin has been quietly making it impossible for any one to reap the benefit of his brain by imitation and has patented his process both in europe and the united states in only one country did hemelt he meet with skepticism in so great a degree that it caused him trouble and that was germany sere here the officials scoffed at him they would note not they said grant him anything at all unless he gave absolute proof that what he be claimed was ras correct what nonsense it was they declared to talk of vaporizing vapor izing 31 gin sent the patent office ii a large caseau case of his bis primary products wad a huge box of rubies the astonishment af the officials may mav be imagined the precious patent was at once sent i to 0 the inventor the effect of this discovery upon the market for precious S atones cannot at Ore present serit be definitely estimated it is a well known fact that thai j a first class ruby is almost as valuable as a diamond according to present f prices not noi only that but a fin enby fi a rarity and the demind demand
