In the second cut is illustrated Trianon

ground, gathered around the shoulders to a
velvet yoke. A tinsel cord encircles the
futed heading and harmonizes with the
girdle, which is knotted at the waist to adjust
the back as gracefully as possible. This
girdle is finished off with jet fir cones

full world. But here in this layer of the
heavenly wall, where the mineral seven
is to be embedded, this strata of green is
to be photographed, and embalmed and
perpetuated, the color of the grass that
covers the earth, the color of the foliage
that fills the forest, the color of the deep
sea. One glance at that green chryso-
lite, million years after this planet has
been extinguished, will bring to mind
just how it looked in summer and spring.
and we will say to those who were
born blind on earth, and never
saw at all in this world, after they
have obtained full eyesight in heaven:
eff you would know how the earth ap-
peared in June and August, look at that
seventh layer of the heavenly wall, the
green of the chrysolite F" And while we
stand there and talk, spirit with spirit,
that old color of the earth which had
more SWAY than all the other colors put
together, will bring back to us our
earthly experiences, and noticing that
this green chrysolite is the seventh layer
of crystallized magnifcence we may
bethink ourselves of the domin-
alton of that numeral seven over
all other numerals. and thank God
that in the dark earth we left behind us
we so long enjoyed the light of the seven
golden candlesticks. and were all OF us
permitted to shine among the seven stars
of more or less magnitude. and that all
the seven seals of the mysterious future
have been broken wide open for us by a
LOVING Christ, and that the seven thunders
having done their work have ceased rever-
beratior, and that the mineral seven,.
which did such tremendous work in the
history of nations on earth. has been
given such high place in that Niagara

| 1t weighs nine pounds ten ounces "A. 4 ki1os),
and measures fifteen en-. six inches) in its
greatest diameter, and six en-. on it's largest
trapezohedral face. Twenty Of the trape-
zohedral faces of the crystal are perfect,
while the remaining faces were obliterated in
the formation Of the crystal by pressure
against the quartzite matrix. On the surface
the color is reddish brown, with an occa-
sional small patch of what is apparently
chlorite which greatly enhances its beauty.
On fractured surface, however, the color is
light almandine, and the material in the
interior of the crystal is found to be very
compact
This find" is of peculiar interest, because
within the past few years large garnets have
been brought to light at other localities in
this country, notably at Salida, Colo, where
large almandine crystals occur, which are
very perfect. In Burk county, N. c., where
garnets are mined for emery purposes, they
are found in sufficient quantities to warrant
the establishment Of grinding mills. Al
though both Of the above localities have af-
forded large crystals, yet no finer crystal Of
its size than the one here illustrated has ever
come under the notice Of the well known
mineralogist, Mr.. George F. Kuntz, to whom
we are indebted, by the by, for the illustra-
ton, as well as the description Of this re-
markable garnet from New York.
Electric Light Plants and Stations.
At the recent convention Of the National
Electric Light association the president said
in February last there were 1900 isolated
electric lighting plants and central stations
in the United States. which operated 175,OOO
arc lights and l,75O,O60 incandescence lights
Since then there have been added 1851 new
isolated plants and stations, operating IS ,2Ol
arc lights and S92, 9A incandescence lights
A complete record is kept of these, and
from it appears that now there are 1851
plants and stations, operating every night
19e, 500 arc and OPS 900 incandescence lights.
There are also 459. 495 horse power of steam
engines devoted to electric lighting. The
capital invested in the electric lighting CON-
panies during the past half year has been in
creased to the extent Of 81, BIC, 100. In Feb
ruary there were in this country "a electric
with 1SS miles of track, operating
223 motor cars, and utilizing ALSO horse
power for stationary engines. Forty-nine
new reads are now being built, having
total of lS9 miles of track, and to use pa
motor cars. There are also several motor
factories, some of them employing as many
as | ,2JS men.
