Chinese Silversmiths. — The men of the Shan tribes, in the kingdom of Pong, China, are expert silversmiths. Their enamels are very brilliant, and employed with beautiful effect in the floral patterns which form the principal stock of designs. The only other forms of ornamentation, the rope-shaped fillets and rounded studs or bosses, singularly resemble those found on the diadems or armlets of the early historical periods of Scandinavian art. The plain torques or neck rings in use, especially among the Hotha Shans, only differ from the ancient Irish type by their more rounded form, and by their pointed ends being bent outwards in lieu of being expanded into cymbal-shaped faces. Another kind of torque is of the same shape, but covered with leaf ornaments and cones in filigree and enamel, alternating with red or blue stones or pieces of glass. Torque-like, hollow rings, covered with floral enrichments, are worn as bracelets; sometimes they are gilt with very red gold, and enamelled, a jewel being usually set in the centre. Another form is a silver hoop, nearly two inches in breadth, with rounded edges and filigree borders, most elaborately set with floral rosettes of three circles, rows of leaves, brown, green, and dark purple, centred by a large silver stud.

M. KUBO

Osaka


T. Tachibana, an old goods dealer, and M. Kubo, a gold and silver smith, were arrested in Osaka on September 30th on a charge of having counterfeited a number of British coins—one pound sterling each—and some Japanese silver. They are reported to have said at the Police station that they had been ordered by two Chinese merchants to make five hundred £1 pieces for yen 3.50 per piece, and that the Chinaman proposed to circulate the false coins in Shanghai.

BASSEIN

Burma


The decision of the High Court of Rangoon in the suit of Bassein, Burma, jewelers against the Royal Insurance Co., Ltd., for the value of a parcel of diamonds lost in the mails has just been reversed by the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council here, composed of Lords Haldane, Atkinson, Blanesburgh, Darling and Warrington. The Burmese jewelers appealed against the Rangoon decision, and the Council holds that the appeal must be allowed. The value of the parcel of diamonds insured with the defendant company is placed at more than $66,000. The insurance company questioned that the diamonds were lost. Their lordships said the only question was whether the company had proved its allegation that the parcel never contained diamonds of the value named, or alternately, that the diamonds and parcel were stolen from the mails with the knowledge and connivance of the jewelers who had conspired to put forward a fraudulent claim.
