timely articles. The Evolution of the
Modern Heavy Gun, by Prof. W. LIE
Conte Stevens, describes the wonderful
advance made in this department. during
the last fifty years. The Silent City Of
the Muir Glacier is a sharp little article
by President David S. Jordan, giving an
other illustration of the ready gullibility
of the average citizen. David A. Wells s
series is represented this month by a
chapter on the Forms and Nomenclature
of Taxation, in which he deals at some
length with the relative value of the di-
rect and indirect FORMS

If free trade is one of the cardi nal
principles of the Democracy their next
national convention will have to do a
good deal of communicating of promi-
nent members of the party. Hardly a
day passes now but some Democratic
Senator manifests an earnest desire to
have the interests of his section recog-
nized in the new tariff bill with good
stiff discriminating duty. Three or four
of them seem to have gone into the protec-
Zionist camp, bag and baggage, while
many others are evidently much nearer
being reconciled to the policy of protec-
ton than they used to be.

and he is discoursing with great volubility
about the failure Of the Republicans to
keep their pledge to bring back prosperity
to the people. We imagine that if Mr..
Wanamaker had been elected to the Senate
from Pennsylvania instead of Mr.. Penrose
prosperity would not have come any
more quickly, but at the same time we
suspect that under those circumstances
Mr.. Wanamaker would not have taken
the delay so much to heart.

The Southern press cannot be blamed
for making the most of the recent lynch.
ing at Urbana, Ohio. To dilate upon it
is very effective way of saying to the
North where there has been SO much con.
demnation of Southern lynching, You are
no better. Certainly much less can be
said in extenuation of the Urbana lynch
ing than can be urged in most of the SINH
lar affairs that have taken place in the
South. There was no danger that the victim
would escape conviction and punishment
for he had already pleaded guilty and been
sentenced. His crime was heinous one
but it was the same crime for which the
great majority of lynchings take place in
the South. His race Che was negro) is
in an insignificant minority in Ohio. 1t
was therefore not necessary to strike ter
ror to it by unusual and summary pun
ishment, as it may be urged that it is
necessary to do in some parts of the South
when it is in the majority. The circu M
stances of the lynching were in no whit
less savage than the worst ones in the
South. The victim was kicked nearly
to death before he was strung up, and
after he was cut down he was placed in
box and exposed to view in public
place, for nearly a day, and men,
women and children gazed at him with
savage delight The authorities too were
just as remiss in their. duty as the author
tiles in similar cases in the South. They
virtually connived with the mob, and
there is not the sestmall chance that
single. one of them or of the mob will ever
receive the slightest punishment

Apparently the advice given the Queen
Regent of Spain to recall Weyler is not to
be needed, and he is to be permitted to
continue his policy of pacifying the island
by making it desert. 1t is short sigh
ted policy on the part of the home gov
eminent. The recall of Weyler and the
sending of a humane soldier, like
Campos, to the island would undoubtedly
deprive the rebels of much of the SYM
pathy and moral support they are now
getting from the United States. 1t is the
method that is being employed to put
down the insurrection more than any
thing else that is gradually tending to
bring the United States to the point of
demanding of Spain that it settle the in
surrection by granting reforms to the in
surgents that shall be the equivalent of
home rule or Withdrawing from the
island altogether. With Weyler continued
as Captain General these methods will
continue with the inevitable result that
at some day the United States will in
tervene peacably, if it may, but forcibly if
it must, and put stop to the war.

Judging from his disclosure to the
newspapers President McKinley's special
commission to Cuba, does not bring back
any very important information. All he

the island soithat he probably knows lit

mas got from hearsay in Havana land hear

England and France declare that the
Turk shall not retain Thessaly, but the
Turk is there and shows no signs of NOV

what he claims belongs to him by right

they show readiness to force him out at
the point of the bayonet. The Turkish

News: Hon. Francis B. Carter, the new
justice of the supreme court, was born in
Jackson county Florida, during the civil
war, and is now about Sc years old. He
was always Industrious and frugal, stud
led law and was admitted to the bar at
about the age of 81, and has always been
a successful lawyer. He married Miss
Dickson of Mariana. Mr.. Carter has
served several terms as mayor of Mari
anna, was a delegate to the Chicago con-
vention last year. and at the November
election was chosen a democratic presi-
Dental elector.
An awful fire is raging in part of the
storm-swept district of Alachua county,
and is carrying everything before it. The
fire broke out late Friday afternoon, near
ida division of the Plant system, and in
few moments was beyond the control of
all human effort. The country for sew
eral miles around is a solid blaze, and the
smoke is so dense that an object cannot
be seen two rods ahead. All of the farm
ers have been hard at work protec ting
their homes. Many miles of fencing nave
been destroyed, but no dwelling. The
fallen trees are still green, and will rot
burn. but those who have seen this IRE
say that death and destruction await the
residents of the storm-swept country If the
woods are not burned before spring, as by
that time the timber will have become
dry. The fire has proceeded south from
Wade and at last accounts was raging
in the direction OF Newberry. Near Wade
a school was in session, and the pupils
had a narrow escape from suffoeation.
The fire came within ten feet of the build
ing, and the smoke was so dense that the
pupils could scarcely see each other.
Farmers ahead and in the path of the
fire have been warned, and are on their
guard.

been so pronounced by all experts who
have seen 1t. Last summer the same spec
linens, which are now in Chicago, were
taken to Europe and were there exhibited
to some of the best known specialists, who
pronounced them beautiful and well worth
developing.
The popularity of the stone is yet to be
tested. The stones are now being set in
various ways in rings, scarfpins etc. The
present value placed upon the stones is
about the same as that of the OPAL vary
ing according to the beauty and quality
Of each individual specimen. The laplda-
ry gives the ''cyclops' the same cutting
as he gives the opal, called en- cabochon.
In this cutting, as is well known, no facets
are cut, but, instead, smooth rounding
surface. In its native state it is found
imbedded in the rock and is only extracted
by SCATTERING the stone which surrounds
1t into thousand pieces. In some instan-
ces each stone is found isolated, and again
they are found two or three inseparably
connected, evidently having been Joined
when the quartz was in a liquid state. In
breaking them apart, instead of separat-
ing them where they are joined together,
the connection is sometimes so solid and
perfect that blow breaks one of the no.
dulles in two instead.
The finding of new stone is of consid-
cradle Importance in the neurological
coVery always attracts much wide at
tention and considerable comment. In our
own country only three semi precious
stones have been found which are not in
other parts of the world.
Americas first discovery, peculiar to its
own soil, was found about forty years
ago on Isle Royal in Lake Superior This
stone was called the chlorastrolite. The
little island is inhabited only by the light
house keeper and is visited only occa-
sionaily by curiosity seekers and mineral
ogists This stone is opaque and of a
greenish color with white starlike spots
scattered through it. 1t attracted a great
deal of attention when it was first discov-
cred and gave no little fame to Isle ROYAL
On a visit to Europe Mr.. Smith was once
visited by brother expert. who told him
that he had at last found a new stone for
him. When the stones were brought in
for inspection Mr.. Smith smiled and said:
ooh, yes, I used to play with those when
/ was a little boy"
The second stone, which was a native
Of America only, was found about fifteen
years ago in North Carolina. It was
found by a man named Hidden and after
him was called the "Hiddenite." The
hiddenite Is a lithian emerald and is some
what similar in appearance to the ordinary
emerald, being translucent, but scarcely
transparent. Next in discovery to the hid
denite comes the cyclops. AS a gem of
value and in all probability in popularity
I the cyciops will outrank either of it's pre-
decessors. But as its popularity and
quantity are both problematical the flu
ture of the cyclops is somewhat uncertain.
