WASHINGTON, Nov. 2Z-The condition of
DR.. Scott, the venerable ather-in-law Of
President Harrison, is not as favorable to-
night as it was last DIght, when the indica-
lions seemed to favor his restoration to
heal;h The unfsvorable change is at
tributed to q slight return of
the low consuming fever which has such q
Frustrating effect on the invalid. He has
therefore been more uncomfortable to-day
than yesterday, displaying greater weak
ness and being less bright and cheerful in
manner. The outcome of the latest change
in the case may depend very largely upon
the progress of the fever. the natural ten
dency of which is to increase as the night
wears on.

SAN Francisco, Nov. T.-Professor Bar
nard. of Lick Observatory. who has made
q special study of comets. declares that
from his observation the comet in Androm-
eda is really Biela's comet. He says its
orbit is precisely the same as that of Bic
las. and it is natural to assume it to be the
the same. Barnard saw the comet last
on Nov. 81, when it was four times
as large as on the sth. but was
fainter. The Professor added: The fact
that the comet is increasing so markedly in
its apparent size is conclusive proof to me
that it Is getting nearer to us, and the fact
that it is getting fainter is quite natural"
There is very faint hope of any ooserva-
tiOns here OF at Lick Observatory tonight.

ATLANTA, Ca. Nov. 27.-After q bright
day the skies became heavily clouded at
night. and q slow drizzling rain set in,
which bids fair to keep MP all night. No

than this has been witnessed. The general
expectation "hereabouts" was that the

urday night. As one result the
confessionals of the two Catholic churches
here we're crowded yesterday evening. As
abe day advanced many insisted that
they could detect q change in the atmOs-
phere which they said was sitting. 1t was
wonderful to sec how many persons
gathered from different sections Of
the city around newspaper Offices
with substantially the same state
ment. AZ a consequence many
families of the better class kept watch all
night in order that, IL the worst came. they
might be awake to meet it. The orgies
around the colored churches wouid be

of Mr.. kunz to secure IS fine specimens as
he was able to get for the American mar
ket. He did not go TO Persia. He received
dispatches while in Moscow stating that
the turquoise had been discovered in
America and that mines in the far South
west had been opened which possibly
might make good the threatened depletion
OF the Persian mines. Mr.. kunz returned
to America and after a visit to these
mines in New Mexico he was satisfied that
the prediction was justified.
Perhaps Mr.. kunz may be justly es-
teemed rs the. man who has carried out
the prophecy which the tradition OF the
Moodus mountain suggests. He has GER
tainly revealed TO Americans, If he has
not actually discovered the mines, that in
the North American continent there are
indeed many kinds of precious stones and
some of them have yielded gems of great
value. A few years ago Mr.. kunz pub
ilshed book. giving IN detail some ac-
count of these American gems, their
discovery. the possible profit In working
some OF the mines and the nature OF the
gems; but since that publication so extern
slve have been the discoveries and so i'm
portant some of them that he has informa-
ton of extraordinary interest which he
did not possess az that time.
Mr.. Kunz is recognized as one of the
first authorities on precious stones in the
WOflu, anu prODaDty thc l!TsI III iHe I Illttu
States, and therefore those things which
he said to the writer are not TO be re-
garded as the mere Aladdin-like fancy of
a dreamer or writer OF fairy tales, but as
scientific facts.
He had Just taken from its velvet en-
closure a stone of wondrous beauty when
the writer called upon him. II was as
large as an English walnut, and so dag
zling where the flashes Of light emitted
from II, so exquisite was the radiance of
its prismatic rejection, that 1t seemed
almost as though no human skill could
have fashioned it. II was diamond from
South Africa. not white, but or canary
tint, valued at 500, 900, although that sum
could not buy it. Its owners prefer 10
keep that great sum OF money concen-
trated in this exquisite stone. AS Mr.
kunz wrapped IL up in its soft en-
closure he was asked whether Il was
true that diamonds had been found in
America He said Yes, diamonds have
at last been discovered here and very re-

but it never occurred TO him TO make head
against Louisa NJ. Ruin would doubtless
be the issue of the reckless enterprise, but
Fields was helpless.
''I'il show him how TO do business"
said Louisa N. standing erect, her nostrils
diIated. Fields shook his head. He con-
tinued to shake it soiemnly at intervals
in the days that followed, when boxes and
bales to his direction began TO tumble off
the boats which carried the Southern
roads freight down the river.
"Gittin' a move on yourself. hur, Uncle

serving these signs of trade. But Fields
jaw only elongated the more, while his
brow became q network of conflicting
wrinkles.

who lives near creek or river where
limestone is the country rock would be
justified in searching the creeks for pearls,
for almost always unios secrets pearls
when this favorable condition exists"
did you know that the finest large gar
net crystal ever found In the United states
was discovered by poor iaborer who was
digging for q sewer near Broadway, In the
heart of New YORK city? 1t weighs nine
pounds and ten ounces. and it is to ne seen
by any one who is curious in the American
museum in Central park, New York"
Mr.. kunz was asked whether there had
been any discovery of emeraids in the
United States recently, and he said that
there have been some which as crystals
We're magnificent, but only very small
portion or them are of any value for gem
purposes.
Il am good deal interested in the fact
that American churches, as has been 10.
so many years the case in Europe. have
been receiving splendid collections OF
gems, and | am inclined to think that
within the next fifty years We are going to
have in this country some church jewels OF
as great value as any OF those IN the O!d
World. Why, mitre has been presented
to Bishop Gilmore, OF Cleveland, which has
jewels in il valued al $4,000. The bishop
of Brooklyn has an exquisite jeweled cnaise
worth $4,000. The bishop of Springfield,
Mass, has a pectoral cross. a mitre with a
crown of amethysts. and other jewels
valued at 5000. There is beautiful
topaz and amethyst cross at All Angels
church in New York, and when Bishop
Macdonald was consecrated bishop of
Long Island he was presented with some
royal purple Uralian amethyst rings"
Mr.. Kunz says that the work of discov-
cry and development of American gems is
constantly progressing, so that there are
4 H., 81 - ~
year, and the extraordinary richness of
American gem deposits is being more and
more swiftly developed.
