SAPPHIRE HUNTING.
Valuable Prizes Secured in a Remote and

from privation and jungle fever. The
mines are located in the provinces of
Batta M bong and Chaut aboon. In his
commercial report the British Consul
at BInkok says that the miners are
very careful to conceal their gems
while in Sam. B ing anxious to show
some of the gems to the English Adj
mral the Consul called for specimens
from some miners who had just re-
turned from the diggings. One miner,
poorly clal and iserable-looking
fellow, produced few small stones,
and after a great deal of coaxing was
induced. with many precautions. to
give private view of his great priz".
which was a large sapphire in the
rough. valued at $4,000. He would
prob IDLY not have shown the stone at
all had he not been on the point of
leaving in steamer. Owing to the
secrecy thus observed by the possess
ors of valuable gems it is impo sible to
give any estimate of the tota value of
the stones found. but that individuals
have made large profits is certain. One
man dug out stone which he offered
for sal. at Cha ltab,o for 500, but
did not find a purchaser. He went to

MACHINE-MADE BOOTS.
A New system of Securing the Solcs In
vented In England.

A New System of Securing the Soles In =
vented In England.
A new system of bootmaking has
been perfected in which the method of
securing the soles. uppers and insoles
together is the exact reverse of the
ordinary wholesale system. In the
latter the uppers are attached to the
insoles by small tacks. the points of
which in time protrude into the wear
ers feet, b sides which their use is ac-
companied by other disadvantages
The sole is then scored or channeled
round to receive the stitching. by
which il is. of course weakened and
its water-resisti power greatly re-
duced. In the ''Ab Intra" system the
lacks are deftly put into the insole by
handy machine, the fiat heads of
the nails being flush with the surface
of the insole and toward the wearer's
feet. The insole is then placed on the
last with the points upwards. and the
upper is placed over them and
made fast by means of a hollow tube.
with which the operator passes down
the leather over the point of each nail
The sole is then placed over the pro-
truding points OF the nails and ham,
mered down. few smart blows serv-
ing to secure the sole to the upper and
insole. So perfectly are the three
unitedb hat it requires tools and great
force TO separate them. The secret of
this great cohesive power lies in the
form of the nail. which has a shoulder
near its point and in section resem-
bles an open harpoon. Hence. when
driven into leather the latter closes
over the shoulder of the nail and de-
fies all but the most severe efforts to
extract it. After the sole has been
secured the boot is finished in the
usual way. the time occupied in fixing
the sole being about half that required
in the ordinary machine-boot process.
The value of the system is strongly
attested by practical boot manufact-
urers, and it appears likely to effect a
marked change in the condition of the
wholesale boot manufacturing trade. -

poisoning by touch. We hear also of
proposals to poison by smell; of little

presently they will kill all who are in

about these poisons than their ineflicacy.
In the year 1914 we find Vilandrino,
one of the most famous masters in his
day, sent for and told that, as the fire
at the palace had destroyed the poison
cupboard and its receipts, he must
furnish some two or three more. and
must send in the receipts along with his
new poisons. Vilandrino produced q
poisoned water, but when this came to
be tried on a certain Mustafa, he was
none the worse for it. The Ten ordered
a second dose; and after waiting eight
days with no more satisfactory results
they conclude in disgust that Viland-
rino's water is worth nothing, and send
