Diseases CT Gems.

The Philadelphia Times is authority
for the statement that gems are az
ficted with diseases justas individuals.
Among. the infrmities to which pre-.
cious stones are liable, says the Times,
is one common to all stones, that OF
fading, or losing color. when long ex.
posed to the light. The emerald, the
sapphire, and the ruby suffer the
least, their colors being as nearly per-
manent as colors can be, yet experi-
ments made few years ago in Paris
and Berlin to determine the deterfora.
ton of colored gems through exposure
showed that even those suffered, q ruby
which has lain for two years in show
window being perceptibly lighter in
tint than it's original mate, which was
kept in the darkness. The causes of
the changes are not very clear, even
! to expert chemists, but it is evident
| that the action OF the light on the col
oring matter of the gem effects a de-
terioration, slow but exceedingly sure.
In the case OF, the garnet and topaz
the charge is more. rapid than in that
OF the ruby and sapphire. Opals THAI
have successfully passed the ordeals OF
grinding, polishing and setting do not
often crack afterward, but it is best
not to expose them to even the mod
crate heat involved by the wearer sit
ting in front OF an open fire, for tn:
opal is composed principally OF silicic
acid, with from five to thirteen pei
cent. OF water, combination which
renders them very treacherous objects.
The idea that they are otherwise I'M
fortunate in the sense that they bring
disaster to the wearer may De dis
missed as superstitious.

Bottomless Meat Pie.

Mrs. Rorer gives this recipe Tor
bottomless meat pie: "Cut one joint
of cold meat into oneinch blocks and
two large potatoes into dice. Have
measured tablespoonful OF salt,
quarter teaspoonful Of pepper, the
same of celery seed, and teaspoonfnl
OF onion juice. Put a layer Of meat
into rather deep. rie pan, then one
of potatoes, and distribute some OF the
parsley, pepper, salt and celery seed
through the layers. Build the pie up
in this way until all the ingredients
are used. Put teaspoonful OF butter
over the top, add a half pint Of stock,
water poor substitute. and put on
your top crust. which must be rolled
out rather thin and have on opening
in the top so that the steam can es-
cape. Glaze this with egg, to which
a teaspoonful of warm water has been
added, and it will give your pie that
rich brown color which all meat pies
should have. This is delicious dish
for luncheon.

nnw nr CuyIer Bacama 4 Nlinlster.

Peter Carter, in Golden Rule, tells
how tbs Rev. DR.. Theodore Cuyler,
the Motel Presbyterian divine, OF
Brooklyn, became q minister. II was
chiefly owing to his mothers influence.
Most OF Theodore's immediate male
ancestors were disting uished lawyers,
and one OF them Offered him fine law
library if he would enter the legal
profession. His mother, however, had
consecratea him to the ministry, and,
fearing that he might be persuaded
into the study OF law, she sent him
abroad, which was the first OF his
many trips across the sea. While he
was absent in Europe, his mother en-.
gagged room for him at Princeton
Theological Seminary, SO strong Was
her faith that he was to bea minister.
On his retarn from Europe, young
Cuyler went with his mother to visit
some relatives near Ludlowville. Ny,
and while there made two or three adj
dresses at small religious meetings.
His addresses were so successful in
| their effect that he was convinced thai
the Christian ministry was his proper
| field OF labor.

The Biggest Sailing Craft.

The largest sailing craft in existence
is the Potosi, now engaged in the
nitrate trade with the west coast OF
South America. She was built by F.
Laeisz OF Hamburg, in 1895. Her
principal dimensions are: Length.
1862 feet; breadth, 49, feet; depth,
81 feet; gross register, 1895 tons,
and net register, s37S9 tons. She has
a dead weight carrying capacity OF
$3.50 tons, and besides being the
largest sailing ship in existence, she
also possesses the distinction OF being
tine only fye.masted one, with the ex.
ception of the La France Of Dunkirk,
which is of considerably smaller de
mansions. During her first voyage to
Iquique, distance of 1900 miles
| was covered in seventy-two days, a re-
markably fast trip.
The largest vessel engaged IN trade
on the American coast is the Governor
Ames, fve-masted wooden schooner
trading regularly between Newport
News and Providence, r. ]. She was
built at Waldoboro, Me-, in 1888, by
Levitt Storer and her principal dimen-
sions are: Length, 345 feet 5 inches
beam, 81 feet 2 inches; depth, 81 feet
inches, and her net tonnage is l.
6S9.S4. Captain G. A. Davis is the
master and owner, and her hailingport
is Providence. She is one OF feet of
schooners engaged in carrying the
celebrated New River coal from New
port News to Providence, and carries
about 5000 tons on draught of %
feet. She is the only fiye-masted
schooner on this coast, the largest in
existence, and she has q sail area Of
about 1000 square yards.

The Eve a Perfect Camera.

The eye is a perfect photographer
camera, says q writer in the Ladies
Home Journal. The retina is the dry
plate upon which are focused all OBJ.
jects by means OF the crystalline lens.
The cavity behind this lens is the cam.
era. The iris and pupil are the dia.
phragm. The eyelid is the drop shut
ter. The draping Of the optical dark.
room is the only black membrane in
the entire body. This miniature cam.
era is self-focusing, self.loading and
self developing, and takes millions Of
pictures every day, in colors and en-
largcd to life size.
