HOW AGATEs ARE MADE

In Germany.

g A GATES ARE A KIND OF QUARTZ"
"A said a mIneralosis. to a sr.R writer.
Most Of them come from South America, and
especially from Brazil where they are found in
great quantities. From thence they are shipped
as ballast in vessels bound for Hamburg. Ger
many, and from that port they are forwarded
to oberstein. The latter town is the great agate
market Of the world.
AT oberstein the agates are sorted into lots,
according to quality, and sold at auction.
After this they are sent to the mills to be cut
and polished. Along the Idar river, between
the towns OF Oberstein and Idar, there are
more than hundred and fifty mills for work
ing agates. Each mill has several big grind
stones, on which the valuable bits OF quartz
are ground, being usually attached TO small
sticks Tor that purpose. Choice specimens are
preilmlnarily cut luto roug h shapes with a steel
wheel and diamond powder. Common ones how

TWO EARLY FIRES.

Two EAhLI fIhES.
Congress took action none too soon for the
protection of government property, for the two
fires Of magnitude in 1900 and 1901 were Of
government buildings. serious loss having
been entailed thereby, it was not long before
the government officials as well a. the citizens
In general felt an interest in adopting some
uniform system for the suppression of con-
hagrations. The first Of these fires was No.
vember s, 1900 in q three-story building on
Pennsylvanis avenue about 2lst street, in which
the offices Of the War Department we're tenn
porarily located, and in few hours the build
ing Was entirely consumed with all the papers
OF the department, except one volume in which
the contracts and deeds Of land sold to the
United States were recorded, and some of the
papers Of the accounting officer. The library
destroyed was quite large, containing some
military works difficult to replace. The house
in which the fire occurred was owned by Mr..
Joseph Hodgson, and after repeated petitions
TO Congress by Rebecca Hodgson, his widow,
bill was passed May Z, 1872. appropristing
e6,000 70 pay the legal representatives OF
Joseph Hodgson the value Of the building
rented in 1880 by Samuel Dexter, then Secretary
Of War.
The other extensive are was that Of
the Treasury Department., which occurred
January 10, 1901, about dusk. When dis
covered one Of the rooms Of the accountant
was in full blaze. The fire was extinguished
In an hour and q half by the citizens with
water buckets, but not until several rooms
were burned out and many valuable papers de-
stroyed. Among them were ledgers and jour-
pals In which were entered accounts settled by
the commissary with the officers of the
quartermaster and commissary department.;
