cnRIsr,s MOTHERS WEDDING RING
A Marvellous Account of How Its Genu-
ineness Was Proved TO All.

A Marvellous Account Of How It's Genu-
Ineness Was Proved TO All.
One of the famous Myths of the
Middle Ages" the account Of which,
by the way, Barring Gould neglected
to incorporate into his valuable work
Of the above quoted title, was the
story of the Miraculous Ring" sup
posed and believed to have been the
Identical circlet used in the marriage
ceremonies which made the Virgin
Mary and Joseph, the carpenter,
man and wife. This wonder worker
was homely little onyx or anne
thyst jewel, having carved repre-
sentation of the budding rod on the
signet.
1t was discovered in the year 096 in
this manner: Judith, the wife of HUI
go, marquis of Etruria, being a great
lover of jewels, employed one Rane-
rius, skilled lapidary of Clusium, to
90 to Rome and make some purchases
for her. While there he became ac-
quainted with a jeweler who had just
arrived from Jerusalem.
This man soon became greatly at
tached to our friend Ranerius, and
when the latter was on the eve of
departure presented him with a very
common looking finger ring. Rane-
rius at first declined such valueless
gift, but upon being pressed to take
it only consented after listening to a
marvellous story of the rings history,
which wound up with the declara-
ton that it was the wedding ring of
Joseph and Mary. Ranerius, still
careless of what the other said, threw
it in chest, where it remained ten
years.
During this time Ranerius' only
son, ten years Of age, died. While
the child was being carried out for
burial he suddenly rose from his cof-
fin and ordered the bearers to stop.
Then calling to his father he told
that individual a wonderful story of
his trip to heaven and how sorrow
full the Virgin Mary was because he
Ranerius) had allowed her precious
jewel to lay neglected for ten long
years. The resurrected boy had
never heard of the ring before, but
when the chest of trinkets was
brought soon selected the holy relic.
After performing this miracle the
child died again and was buried. But
the ring became the relic of relics and
was constantly surrounded by dew

it applied to blind eyes, crippled
limbs, sts. Ii was the greatest mir
acle worker of the times. Besides

writing to the National Steckman, saws
it is caused by sharp teeth. He adds:
The inside edges Of the molars are
rough and sharp, and continually rasp

tongue, spelling the looks and often
times the sale Of the horse. In the first

slide. .S &# %sE## & Nh
Making a mountain stream run over
and above a. railroad track is a unique
piece Of engineering that the Southern
Pacific company is shortly to commence
near Wright's station, in the Santa
Cruz mountains. Last spring, says the
San Francisco Examiner, there was Il
big landslide at the northern end OF the
long tunnel near Wright's station which
caused a blockade of the Southern Pa
cific Coast road for a number OF weeks
and caved in about a hundred feet OF
the tunnel: The moving side OF the
mountain as it came down the canon
filled up the bed Of a large mountain
stream to such an extent that it was
five or six feet higher than the track,
while before it vas several feet lower.
The creek is dry in the summer, but
during the rainy season. unless its
course lis diverted, the mountain tor
rent will sweep over the road so as
to make its operation at that point
impossible.
The officials first entertained the idea
Of carting away large quantities Of dirt
to lower the bed of the stream to its
old level. But that plan was aban-
doned because Of the great expense 1T
would entail, and it was then decided
to- exterf the tunnel northward 200
feet and past the point where the
stream crosses the track by an arch
Of solid masonry. Plans for this stone
tunnel have been completed. The arch
will be twenty feet high and composed
Of huge blocks of stone that will stand
the wear and tear of the weather for
years. On the inside it will have the
same width and heighth as the tun-
mel proper, and will be constructed in
such a manner that the stream of water
flowing over it will not percolate
through. The top Of the arch, when
finished, will be about fifteen feet
above the present bed Of the stream,
SO the latter will have to be raised
up to it's level. This will necessitate
filling in for a distance Of several hun
dred feet. AS the stream flows owe the
top of the. stone arch it will have a fall
of nc less than twenty feet on the
other side of the track. 1t will be a
precipitous fall, and during the winter
time, when the volume Of water is
large, will make a very pretty water
fall. The officials are inclined to think
it will be the largest artificial water
fall in the world.
