THE MYSTERIOUS EMERALDs.
Story of n Valuable Gem Picked Up by
Boston Lady.

Boston COURIER
There is the theme for romance in the
experience of Boston lady in the matter
of finding ring about year since.
She came across the Common, and Just as
she WAC about to leave it by the Boylston
street gate her eyes caught the glimmer of
gem on the pavement, and stopping she
took up one of the most superb emerald
rings ever seen in this part of the globe.
1t is not necessary to describe it too accu-
rately here since in answer to her sdver-
tisements there has been more than one at
tempt by pretenders to get it fraudulently;
but it is sufficient to say that it is literary
such a ring as might be the gift of king.
1t is the sort of jewel which figures in ro-
mances of the Disraei sort, where no ex-
pense Is spared, and it was naturally worth
a sum of money which to ordinary mortaIs
is something pretty big in any light and
really tremendous to have locked up in a
single ring.
The lady took the jewel to all the leading
dealers in gems in the neighborhood and
they all agreed in saying that they had new
er seen it but that it was impossible that a
ring of SO much value should long want for
an owner. The jewel has been advertised
In sll the papers and the finder has kept a
careful lookout for advertisements in her
turn. The police and the dealers in gems
are fully informed about it, and yet for
more than year the ring has been in her
possession without a sign of its owner ap-
pearing to claim it. 1t is true that there
have been a number of applications for it,
but no one who has come to claim it has
been able to come anywhere near a cor
rect description of the ring, and what its
history was before it landed in the dust of
Boylston street is still mystery.
Since the ring is of so great value, it
would be supposed that the owner would
endeavor to find it for its pecunisry worth,
even If there be no sentimental value at
taohed to it; but nothing of this sort seems
to have happened. Some day the mystery
may be solved. but at present there is no
clue to prevent the romancer from weav-
ing about the jewel any web of fancy which
his brain can spin.

THE TRAINED EAR
rs Quick TO Note Anything Wrong I'm
Machinery.

Machinery.
From the Philadelphia Record
AT the meeting of the locomotive engin-
eers to be held in Cape May during August,
an interesting paper will be read by II. II.
Dantzer, formerly al engineer on the Read
ing railroad. but now a contractor in West
Philadelphia. The paper will deal entirely
with the wonderful manner in which en-
gineers on railroads, steamboats,, and the
masters of mammoth machinery ascertain
accurately and instantly when anything
goes wrong with the machinery under their
control. Strange as it may seem, the only
reliable friend of the engineer is a we'll
trained ear. The greater part of Mr.. Dant-
zsr's paper is filled with incidents relating
to railroad work, but the really wonderful
incidents of which he treats are taken from
the mammoth press-rooms in which Phila-
delphia abounds.
The thunderous rumble and clash of the
modern presses, which are considered the
most intricate machines in the world, is a
pleasant tune to the pressman, but let
bolt become loose, let band slip or a pis-
ton or bar get out of place, and there is a
discord in the pleasant tune. Instantly
every man in the press-room, no matter
what he may be doing, raises his head and
turns his eye in the direction of the dis
cordant noise. The particular press is To-
Gated in an instant, and the particular part
of the ponderous machine when the dis
cord is being made is traced by ear at once.
The same rule holds good in the engine
room of an ocean steamer. The instant
any part of the noble engine becomes out
of order, it calls in unmistakable tones to
the quiet-looking engineer, who hastens TO
prescribe remedy.
Mr.. Dantzer's paper tells of many queer
incidents of his experience as a railroad en-
gineer. The master of a locomotive gets
to know his engine as a mother does her
child. In the darkest night, with the train
dashing along at the rate of forty-five miles
an hour, the trained engineer hears a slight
sound which is out of the ordinary He
not only becomes aware of it by hearing it.
but If he were deaf as post the disorder
would be communicated to him through
the medium of the throttle He would feel
a slight jar which would indicate as clear
ly as the sound that something was ont of
order, and, if the occasion warranted,
stop would be made at once or the matter
would be attended to at the next station.
Telegraphers work entirely by sound,
but strange at it may seem, many of them
are wholly deaf to sounds other than those
of their instruments. Any of the chief
operators in the main office of the Western
Union telegraph company can, from one
end of their great long room, distinguish
with neverfailing accuracy which of the
several hundred instruments in the room
are calling Philadelphia, notwithstanding
the constant din Of the other Instruments
More than this, many of them can deter
mine instantly which operator is sending
on certain circuits with which they have
become familiar by long service.
