A Wonderful sapphire.

There is at present in England. saws
the London Times a Ceylon sapphire
belonging to Major General Robley, which
is not less remarkable for its size than
for its translucency and the brilliance
of the optical effects it can show. The
weight of the gem is 63S carats. and it
is of dark milky-plue color perfectly
transparent and fawless. Larger sup
p1lres have been known, but they have
usually, if not always, been dull and
muddy instead of having the clear, trans
lucent color of the specimen. But. in
addition, it possesses a property occa-
sionally found in a slightly cloudy or
milky Ceylon sapphire-and sometimes in
other gems, too-which greatly enhances
its value in the eyes of believers in the
occult powers of precious stones to con-
fer health and good fortune on their
Mearers. It is star sapphire or astoria.
That is, being cut en- cabochon, it dis
plays beautiful opalescent star. diyid-
ing it's six rays at the apex, which
changes its position according to the
movement of the source of light by which
it is viewed. By employing two or three
sources of light two or three of these
stars can be simultaneously seen in the
gem. By further cutting it is said that
the beauty of this stone could be still
more increased, but, of course, at the
expense Of it's size.

MUD GEYsERs TN MORO BAY.

SAN LUIS OBISPO. Cal, May 2o 1897
About 7:S0 o'clock last evening residents
of the country adjacent to Moro Bay
We're startled by report which began like
the low rumble of thunder and ended
with somewhat louder blast A few
days ago similar report was heard and
mud geyser appeared in the small arm
OF Moro Bay, just opposite the town site
of Ell Moro. This geyser has formed a
small island, which for a week past has
been the wonder of the people of the
country and has been visited by great
many.
Following the report last evening sec
ond geyser sprung into existence about
200 yards distant from the first and a little
farther inland. This last geyser is an
exact counterpart of the one formed last
Friday night.
1t is only a short distance from the
shore and the people who gathered there
could plainly see the small island of dark
mud and sand which had been formed.
Like the eruption of last Friday night.
the surface of the second island bears
evidence of having a small sized crater
from which large quantities of the black
est mud are slowly arising.

MAYOR HOOS NON -OOMMITTAL.
Won't Say What He Will DO in
SuIherla ndss Case

Mayor Hoos has not yet done anything
with the resolution of the Street and
Water Board abolishing the office of AS
sistant Assessment Clerk recently held by
Mr.. G. Frank Sutherland His Honor has
still several days in which either to veto
or approve the resolution, but he declines
to discuss the case whatever.
The act of the Legislature which Mr..
Sutherland contends protects him from
removal was not, as many suppose, draft
ed by him. It emanated from the Ma
tional Council of the C. A. r., and by that
august body has been introduced into the
Legislatures and passed of nine States of
the Union.
Mr.. Sutherland is as reticent as the
Mayor about what he intends to do. He
insists he never asked Justice Potts or
Justice Nevin for a warrant and has not
gone before the Grand Jury for the pur-
pose of securing an indictment against
the four Democratic Commissioners for
their action Counsel, he says, has charge
of the case and that is all he cares to
say.

four inches, long, rich green in color, and
