A ROSSETTI POEM.
From The London Chronicle.

From The London Chronicle.
There has recently come to light a new poem
or strictly speaking. a translation-by Dante
Gabriel Rossetu It is an English rendering of
Burgers "Lenore" written by that German
poet about the year 171O Sir Walter Scott was
attracted by this poem, and translated it; so
also d-d Pye, the Poet Laureate. 1t seems to
have excited the interest Of Rossetu when he
was quite q boy. At sixteen he made his trans
latou, which apparently was preserved only in
two manuscript copies.
one of these has now come into the hands
OF M"ssrs. Ellis and Elvey, who are having it
printed as a small volume. No doubt Rossetti
gave this precious manuscript to some friends.
through whom It descended to others 1t is re
garded a spirited representation of a poem
which treats Of what may broadly he called
n supernatural subject To the foregoing inti-
nation it has to be added that another volume
IS just being issued in the Siddal edition of
Rossettis verse. The edition. OF course, Is so
named after the poets wife.

mountains are covered on the topa

The summit of Great Ararat was
reached in 1920 by Prof Parrot, and
on September 2, 1900, a member of
the Russian Geographical society
named Peoggenpohl assembled the
peak with a considerable party. The
difficulties of the ascent are very
great and his successful expedition
will be welcome news in geographical
circles. Ascents are rare, having been
made in 1884, 1S43, 1s45, 1850 and 1856.
Little Ararat is even more difficult to
climb, as it's decivities are greateF
and sleeper, it's form being almost
conical. It is believed to be the spot
where the ark rested, but there is g
tradition that Mount Judi, In south
ern Armenia, was the spot. The noun
tain is of volcanic origin and was in
eruption in 1888, and in 1s4e there was
vast discharge of sulphuYous vepors
from it's sides and tremendous earth
quake SHOOK the surrounding country.
There is considerable literature de-
voted to the mountain.

TOPAZ IS MUCH FAVORED.
This Beautiful Gem Is Highly Prize6
by FashiOnabIes at
Present.

''Not the least beautiful of the many
gemi-precious stones for which there
Is always large demand is the topax,"
said a wholesale dealer in gems to g
Washington Star writer. ''The name
topaz suggests only yellow stone,
yet there are light bIue, brown and
green varieties which are frequently
sold as aquamarines. The genuine AQUA
marine may, however, be easily dis
tinguished from q topaz, as the former
stone more closely resembles the color
of green sea salt. Besides, the topaz
admits of higher polish, and is ex-
tremely slippery to the touch. Strange
to say, the yellow topaz when slightly
heated, becomes pink; heated further.
the pink grows paIer, and by long heat
ing it is entirely expelled, leaving the
green colorless. The sherry colored or
brown topaz is bleached in a very short
time by the rays of the sun or strong
daylight, and all the white topazes
found in nature have been coIorized
in this way. The topaz is found in gran
ite rocks in Siberia, Japan, Peru, Cey-
Ion, Brazil and Maine and in volcanic
rocks in Colorado, Utah and New Mex
ico."

ECONOMY IN GUN TESTING.
Heavy Artillery Practice Would BE
Too Costly If Full Charges
Were Used.

The method used in the United
States navy for the economical train
ing of the gunnerE is very interest
ing. 1t is a wel1-lCnown fact, SAYS the
Washington Star, that the cost of
firing one of the large guns used in
the navy is very great, amounting
sometimes to 81 900 or more. To save
this expense a very simple method is
employed. In the case of the large
guns an ordinary Remington rifle is
secured in the breech of the gun and
directly in the center of the bore, So
that when it is fired its bullet takes
the same direction as that of the reg
ular projectile. The largo gun is
sighted in the usual manner. On ac-
count of the lesser velocity of the
small bullet the target is placed close
to the ship and is made correspond
ingly small.
The method used for the sfx-pound-
er or other small guns is slightly diff
ferent, as instead of the small rife a
wooden or dummy cartridge, the same
size as the regular cartridge, is en-
ployed. Through the center of this
wooden cartridge runs rifle barrel
which is loaded with a 44-caIiber car
fridge.
