ruby. The artificial gems can readily be
distinguished from the natural by exam

The natural gem contains minute
cracks, as seen with the microscope. Even
though 1t seems to be entirely hawless,
careful examination with a microscope
OF 100 dameters will show minute cleav-
age cracks running through the gem. The
artificial gem contains nothing Of this
sort, but shows very minute bubbles or
gas holes. So far as the luster and hard
ness are concerned, the artificial stone
is exactly like the natural and no one
could tell the difference except by this
particular test.

the use Of electric furnaces, where the

concerned, IL is absolutely as good as the

Immediately interested in the subject here
have taken steps TO draw official atten-
ton TO the condition of the channel. From
the city proper to deep water no survey
has yet been made, although the secretary
of the board Of trade last year furnished
Capt. sackett, of the engineering corps
with the requisite data on the subject.
II Is now said on good authority that the
channel is gradually filling up and that
there are three or four feet less water in
the harbor than there was some years
ago At some points nine feet Is the maxi
mum depth at high water, and as the ship
ping trade of the city Is largely in perish

one Of considerable Importance Much Of
the advantage enjoyed by Tampa as a
commercial center has arisen from her
cheap water transportation, and any inter-
ference with this traffic must seriously
handicap her merchants.

Monkeyins with the Dentist.

From the San Francisco Examiner.
Mike is the name Of a big monkey at
the Chutes He has a long tail, and until
a few days ago had long eyeteeth. He still
has the tail. but the teeth are gone. After
having bitten a number of people with
those tusks Mike learned their utility ana
threatened to do more biting. so Edward
Raabe, the electrician, decided that the
teeth must go. He had already complete
ly won Mixes heart, and had taught the
monkey 10 ride on Rover's back. 70 shake
hands and do other things. SO the trust
ing Mike suspected nothing when Raabe
took him on his knee in the power house.
and, taking a pair Of nippers used In cut
ting wire, told him to open his mouth.
In a moment there was a crunch, snap
and a YELL and one of Mixes tusks was
a blunt stump just even with his little
incisors. The others quickly followed, al
ternating with yels and despairing APP
peals from Mikes eyes. and the prince
was disarmed and disgraced.
