New Designs in Jewelry.

Jewels and gems are perennlally
dear to the feminine heart and wheth-
er the white or the yellow standard
waves triumphant in November neither
will be deposed from it's place of use
fulness in adornment of the fair.
Wherefore the wise tradesman, with
out waiting for the result of the cleo
ton, even now has his most artistic
craftsmen and cunning workers in gold
and silver designing and producing
dainty conceits in precious metals and
stones which in a few months will
flash and sparkle on beauty's brow or
hand in drawing room and assembly
hall. Many of the new designs are
most lovely, and the dealers are not
lacking in confidence when they tell
you this or that exquisite shape is sure
to be the style in jewelry this coming
winter. Russian work. for instance,
is growing more artistic and promises
to increase in popularity over last sea-
son. probably on account of the inter-
est in the coronation ceremonies few
weeks ago. The Russian buckles are
most elaborate affairs. A choice de
sign is in dark blue enameled, with a
half Moorish figure, a small dagger of
silver and blue catching the buckle as
a fastener in the center. They are OBJ
tainable in blue or red enamel, plain
or colored gold. The gold and silver
bullion braid for the belt is very elabo-
rate and worth twenty cents an inch.
Quotations in Russian are inscribed
upon many of the buckles, but no one
has been curious enough to have found
their meaning. These buckles are said
is growing more artistic and promises
the Russian nobility, and they are
unique enough to satisfy the most fas-
tidious. The dragon, with spreading
wings and glistening, jeweled eyes.
will be observed everywhere, in the
scarf pin, hat pin, and to decorate the
evening bodice. The crown, whether
in Jewels or carved in gold Or silver
will be a design much worn.-Phila-
delphia Telegraph.

a BLIND TRAVELLER.
He Finds His Way Alone Along the
Roads of California.


Roads of California.
Gilbert Watkins is the name OF d
blind man who lives on Brush street,
near Taylor Although he IS SO piinu
he cannot tell day from night, even
though he looks directly at the sun,
it does not Interfere with MS aplllty
to travel. In fact, Watkins does more
travelling than most other people eA-
cent drummers. And, furthermore he
does the most of it without any one 70
guide him. Watkins, when he is IN the
city. can be seen standing on the cor
ners of some of the downtown streets,
where he sells notions and other small
articles in order to gain Veilhood'
But he does not stay long at Time pe-
cause he likes to visit different place0
and meet different people. He always
attends the different celebrations anu
fiestas. where he says he is sure to en-
ioy himself. When Watkins wants TO
90 any place the first time he gets some
one to guide him if possible, but aIter
that he can go alone at any time ne
wishes. He has been over nearly all
of the roads in California, and only
few months ago he walked from TINS
city to Los. Angeles by himself. lie
says he is always well treated ana
finds people only too willing to tell MIN
what is going on. According to wat
kins' story he is able to Go these rel
markable things solely by his memory,
and saws that he can be taken any-
where and made to turn as many cory
ners as desired, and that he can IND
his way back without assistance. In
this respect he seems to have the same
faculty cat is said to have and eX-
ercise it in the same way. When the
blind man desires to go to a certain
place he has never been taken before
he is led to it, and as he goes along he
takes mental note of all the objects he
passes. Here is a rough crossing, here
some asphaltum pavement, here
dirt road with stones on it, here some
water, ETC. When he wants to return
he takes them in reverse order and has
no trouble.
'.The reason can do this he says,
%is because 1 don't see lot Of things
shat distract me. You could do the same
thing easy enough. Maybe in mile
would only have to remember few
objects. 1t is just the same as If man
who could see was taken through
dark alley, but every once in while
was given a glimpse of his surround
ings by light being turned on. He
could remember what he saw without
any trouble, but if he saw thousand
other things he could not. / know just

Indians are running in all directions.
The ground rose up as il there was
something under it; it has made large
hill. Oh there is volcano at the top of
1t; large black cloud rose out of it at first
Stones are flying IN the air; lava is run
ming down the sides, which are very steep.
1t sends mp redhot stones and lava very
high. Now one side of the mountain has
| broken away, and a river of lava is run
ming out. There is such noise l cannot
hear myself speak. A stone falls near me:
1t IS as big as sewing machine. Yet the
volcano must be three miles off. How
curious it was to see that hill rise 1t went
up so fast Trees went up with it and
they are on fire.
Professor William Denton. the eminent
geologist, in commenting upon the above
report, said that discoveries made verv
recently prove it to be the fact that human
beings lived IN California when this lava
stream was poured out, and that huge ele-
phantine quadrupeds then browsed on the
forest trees"
In addition to Professor Denton's testi-
mony, Professor Whitney. State Geologist
OF California, exhibited IN 1868, at Chicago,
before the Am erlcan Association for the
Advancement of Science, human skull,
said to have been obtained in Calaveras
County. at depth of $50 feet below the
surface, and under four beds of consoli
dated volcanic ash or lava. The skull
bore remarkable resemblance to that of
Digger Indian. Professor Whitney in
sisted most strongly that this skull, to-
gether with other data collected by geo.
logical survey, clearly demonstrated
the fact that man and the mastodon and
elephant had been contemporaneous in
California
The same specimen of rock was sub-
mltted by Professor Denton to two other
psychometers-hi wife and sister-and
while their examinations differed in some
details from the one quoted above vet
they quite agreed on the main features of
the volcano and the elephants and pre-
Adamlc man, so that the account may be
accepted as part of the ancient history of
California
1t is natural for scientists to look with
o1strust upon such observations as this.
and while it may be readily admitted that
many accounts of psychometf1c expert
ment are untrustworthy and charlatan-
esque, yet where there's not only corrobora-
ton by independent seers, but also by the
investigations of leading scientists as well.
1T is not unreasonable to suppose that
there may be an exact science underlyine.
Students of the occult sciences are satisfied
that this power of vision, along with other
faculties, lies latent in every human being
where not already evolved-and that
considerable development of these is to
take place during the twentieth century.

MY MIDNIGHT VISITOR

was snatched from me in twinkllng and
of the midnight visitor.
"Tortures!' he yelled, as he beat his
head with one hand, while with the other
he pushed back the glass for another in
stallment. "Racking pains! Killing me p'
No sooner was the glass filled second

other glasstul poured out. 1t disappeared
IN the same way. l was growing weak
from the strain; a cold perspiration was
over me. Glass after glass l filled, until
the bottle had shed its last drop. Even
then the weird stranger motioned for
more. The formation of his throat must
have been peculiar. He didn't swallow
he tossed the liquor down, and it seemed
to be precipitated directly, without any
semblance of any intervening operation,
into the deeps of his organism.
Meantime Hues had risen up in bed, his
eyes riveted on the figure in white, throw

apparent effect. The sudden and unex-
looks and actions, the dim light, the hour.
were all calculated to chill the blood and
make the hair stand on end like quilts
upon the fretful porcupine.
Noiselessly the figure shrunk back
toward the door. Unconsciously l fol-
lowed. Now l was peering out into the
dark hallway. The ghostly visitor was
gone l turned to attend to my patient,
who had been out of my thoughts
for time, when, to my amazement, l en-
countered him at my elbow. Hues walked
the length of the room, dressed himself
and marveled much at the discovery that
his rheumatism had passed away. He
was feeling like new man, and at A. NJ
ate supper in the cafe below. We told the
story of the nights bogie to another occu-
pant of the house, which, by the way, is
not 1000 feet distant from the corner of
Clay and Montgomery streets.
The new party laughed heartily. "Same
old trick!" he cried. Harry Siegfried
has been playing that same game here for
years. His stomach is copper-lined. His
throat is simply straight pipeline to his
stomach from his funnel of mouth.

HOW NOT TO DROWN
Nor DROWN.

most trivial thing will cause one to out
weigh the other. The proper position for
man in the water who seeks to prevent
himself from sinking is to maintain an up
right position, his head thrown back so
that the entire body is submerged, with
only the mouth and nostrlls above the
surface of the water. There is great deal
of sense in the saying that drowning
man will catch at straw, for the smallest
bit of wood will give such assistance to
the body as to permit man in the water
to raise his entire head from the water,
and so look about him Without the aid
of this straw of help, hand or even a
finger raised above the water will make
the advantage against the man, and his
head must be forced below the surface"
'Once a man is under water his body
must sink to the bottom, must it not?"
mot necessarily. The man will be
drowned, but his body may stay on the
surface. Once a mans head is under
water, in his attempt to breathe he will
take in a quantity of water. This, enter
ing the stomach, takes the place of the air
which was there, makes the body heavier
than it is naturally and so affects the
body's gravity that it will sink. But IN
the case of fleshy persons that have men,
toned, the amount of water taken in is
not always sufficient to outbalance the
water displacement, and so the body will
not sink"
"But you speak only of persons who are
conscious when they fall in the water.
This man Cochran, from the nature of the
wounds on his head, must have been un-
conscious when he fell into the river"
'Just SO. l was coming to that. Strange
as it may seem, Cochran by falling into
the water when unconscious stood better
chance of remaining on the surface than if
he had been conscious. Being uncon-
scious, he did not struggle to save himself
in way that would have surely sent him
to the bottom of the river. There was no
gasp for breath, and consequently no
water entered the stomach to take the
place of air there.
His body, then, equally balancing the
water which it took the place Of remained
on the surface, and would have remained
there until he became conscious and strug-
gled or until he died. On the same prin-
ciple, man who is dead when he falls or
is thrown into the river rarely sinks at all,
or not for long time.''
