Tarnishing Of Jewelry

- Sume persons can wear cheap jewelry without ita tarnishing, while on oíherj even gold ornamenta socn change color. The following explanation of the two facts is giveu by the jeweller: It is well known that the human body contains huniors and acida, similar in action to, and having a like tendency toward, baser metáis; as nitric and sulphuric acids have; namely, to tarnish or dissolve them, varying in quantity in different persons. Of this theory we have abundant prooi in the effeets whica the wearing of jewelry produces on different persona. Tnousands wear continually, without any ill effect, the cheaper class of jewelry, with brass earwires, while if others wore the same article for a few days; thcy would be troubled with sore ears; or, in other woids, the acids contained iü the system would so act on the brass as to produce ill resulte. Instances have occurred in which articlea of jewelry of any grade below eighteen carat have been tarnÍ3hed in a few days, tnerely feom the above named cause. True, thesa instances are not very frequent; neverthelees it is well to know them, and they are sufficient to prove that it is not in every case the fault of the goods not wearing well - as it is generally cali e - fout the result of the particular constitution by which they are worn.
