A VALUABLE COLLECTION.

Gems to Museum.

J. Pierpont Morgan Presents a Lot of
Gems to a Museum.
The American Museum of Natural
History is making preparations to in
stall one of the largest and most val
liable collections of gems in the world.
The new exhibit embraces magnifi-
cent collection of precious gems,
stones, and pearls of the United States
shown at the Paris fair, which there
received the grand prize. The entire
collection has been purchased by J..
Pierpont Morgan and presented to the
museum. Their value is said to be over
100000. Notable among the most val
liable gems are four diamonds, the
largest being found in Waukesha, Wis,
of purest quality, weighing Is 1892
of a carat. This is considered a price
less stone, as it is the largest and best
specimen ever found in the United
States. The other, diamond of 4-16
carats, is from Dane county, Oregon,
and two others were extracted from
meteorites found in the Canyon Diablo,
Arizona. Of the stones which are Of
the greatest value produced in the
United States the following are in the
collection: Turquoise, 20 varieties, all
from New Mexico, the largest coming
from Las Cerillas, weight 80. carats;
a ceremonial necklace of turquoise, OBJ
tanned from the same locality, worn
by the San Domingo Indians. Four
teen specimens of sapphires are shown,
IL from Montana and three from North
Carolina, the largest being seventeen
and one-fourth carats, found in >Yogo

: ANNAPOLIS LIBERTY TREE.

Beneath This Tree Samuel Chase Ar
raigned King George.
The Washington elm is more wide-
ly known than any historic tree in
America, but it must share with the
Liberty tree of Annapolis the honor Of
playing a part in rocking the cradle
of liberty. The Liberty tree is a tu-
lip tree (liriodendron tulipfera), some
times also called tulip poplar. Tradi-
ton says that the people of Annapolis
met in the troublous days before the
revolution to consult together and lis
ten to Samuel Chase in his arraign-
ment of King George. At that time its
spread of branches was far beyond
anything known of it by this genera
ton. 1t is also tradition that Wash
lngton and Lafayette banqueted in it's
shade. The earliest tradition handed
down to- us of the imperial poplar tree
that adorns the college campus is that
it served as the canopy under which
the colonists and Indians made a treaty
OF peace. AS history records only one
document of this kind signed here,
this treaty must have been the one
agreed between the colonists and the
sturdy Susquehannocks in 1862. The
next public use of it we find in ed
dies Letters" was when the inhabi-
tants assembled under it to determine
whether or not persons who have not
Joined the Association of Patriots
should be driven out Of the colony. In
1925 Gen. Lafayette was entertained
under it. About 1910 several youths
were playing under this tree with that
very dangerous but frequent adjunct
or Juvenile sport-gunpowder They
had about two pounds of it. They
placed it in the hollow Of the tree,
where it was ignited and exploded, set
ting fire to, the grand old tree. The
citizens of Annapolis repaired in force
TOR Its rescue, the tiremen bringing out
the city fire engine and deluging the
tree with water. The boys escapade
was no doubt greatly denounced, but
the Juveniles had done better than
their denunciators thought or the ju-
ven1les intended. The tree had fallen
into state Of decay that threatened
its life. The next year. it put forth it's
branches with it's youth renewed. The
explosion had destroyed the worms
that were gnawing away its vitals.
SOne-third Of the trunk is gone and is
now boarded up. The body of the tree
is mere shell-a marvel how its life
can be maintained and thousands of
tulips bloom on its branches in their
season.-Chicago Journal.

Asuln.s do and the reward for Him.

Here is story about Aguinaldo
which the English papers are print
ing. It is interesting, if not true: On
one occasion. soon after he was rec
ognized as leader Of the revolutionary
party, a reward OF 5$25, 900 was offered
for his head. He wrote to the Span
ish governor-general that he wanted
the money, and would deliver himself
up on payment Of the reward. One
day monk whose clothes insured his
safe passage to the commander-in-
chiefs presence entered the room and
throwing back his cowl revealed the
presence Of Aguinaldo himself. .I

now or die!" The man paid, and

pocket, retired as he had come. q

WHITE "RLACKBOARDS,"

At the school extension session of
the recent conference of public i'm
provement societies, the representative
of the Public School Art society de-
rlored the blackboards which now pre-
empt such a proportion of schoolroom
walls, first, because they are so ugly.
and second, because for all purposes
OF drawing, they simply reverse the
natural values by which objects are or
dinarily represented in nature and art.
The county superintendent announced
that the excessive expense of black
boards was being reduced in school
buildings, but he had no hope to offer
that the days when children would be
expected to shade" with white chalk
On black background were near an
end.
1t is, indeed. little strange that a
practicable white board" or gray
board, on which child could write
or draw with black or dark crayons
has not been devised. The need for
it-although nearly everybody accepts
the traditional blackboard as some
lhihS USy Ouu QuSStlOu-1S not TO De
disputed, the demand for it, if it were
forthcoming, would be enormous. The
green blackboard" which is now used
to some extent, does not meet the
need, and the desirability of preserv-
ing, by such a device, to the child's
hand and eye in drawing the natural
relations of light and shadow to out
line can hardly be ignored.-Chicago

HATED MEN TILL DEATH.
Austrian Woman Who Had a Lift

Austrian Woman Who Had a Life
Long Antipathy for Sterner Sex.
There has recently died at Vienna
an aged spinster, Fraulein Marie
Irrgang, whose especial pride through
life was that she was a man-hater.
She was loyal to her sex antagonism
TO the last and throughout her life
gave no signs of wavering. In her
will she directed that no man should
be allowed to take part in her funeral
procession.
An early disappointment in love is
believed to have been the cause of
Marie's hatred of the mere man"
She was q member of a society called
the Jungfrauen verein, an associa-
had been converted to the anti-man
views of Fraulein Irrgang. Though
the fraulein decreed that no man
should take part in her funeral process
sion, she could not prevent men from
looking on and the streets through
which the procession passed were
thronged with the male animals she
so much detested, gazing curiOusly at
the unique sight. The procession
was composed of an immense throng
of women of all ages and all social
conditions and of deputies from every
woman's society in Austria. But
Maries directions were not carried
out to the letter after all, for the ban
ner of the Jungfrauen verein was so
heavy that no woman could be found
who was strong enough to carry it.
So it was borne aloft by one of the
hated sex, who marched along, the
only man in the procession.
Fraulein Irrgang had a rival in
Fraulein Gretchen Marie Schultz, an
old maiden lady Of Berlin who was
known throughout Germany as 'the
man-hater." Having had an unfortu-
nate love affair fifty years ago. she
vowed that she never would speak to
or if possible look upon a man again
as long as she lived, and being wo- ,,
man of wealth, she was able to keep
her VOW until her death not long ago. |
She bought retired house about a |
dozen miles from Berlin and equipped |
it from basement to garnet with fur |
nishings made by the hands of wo- |
men. She surrounded herself with
band of women each of whom took a
similar VOW of perpetual hatred of the
opposite sex, and so skillfully were
things managed that for fifty years
the fraulein neither saw nor spoke to
man or boy.
Another man-hater, and one who
carried her hatred beyond the tomb,
was Marie Lenoir, who died in Paris
L few months ago. By her will she
eft her whole estate, valued at $751;
100, in trust to two women Of her &C
luaintance holding similar views with
herself regarding men, ito be used in
vaging warfare in such ways as may {
eem fitting to them against the selfish q
less and Tyranny of man." !

SOUNDS At LONG RANGE.
Curious Uncertainty as to Hearing
Them.

The last has hardly yet been said
as to the vagarfes of sounds at long
range. DR.. Dawson has contributed
to knowledge a graphic record show
ing how at a great many distant
places the minute guns fired at Spit
head on February l were distinctly
audible-some of these places. mainly
lying to the north, being upward of
100 miles away-while at the same
time the sound waves in the immedi-
ate neighborhOod of Spithead were al
most or quite imperceptible.
1t has been suggested that the
peculiar loudness Of some of the re-
ports heard on February l may have
| been due to the discharge of several
guns at practically the same instant.
| This argument may be valid enough
in the case of Independent but stimuli
taneous gun firing. but it is only true
in very modified degree in the case
| Of the usual gun cotton fog signals
already spoken of, and chosen by the
service for special penetration. The
explosion of an eight-ounce cartridge
is certainly not D. ly twice as loud
as that of four Z es, while through
interference or some other cause the
| firing of two four-ounce cartridges in
| juXtaposition is not greatly louder
| than that of one. On an occasion
when experimenting on echoes-I was
| firing a number of these fog signals
singly-from the clouds I designed to
, make a superlatiVe discharge by firing
nest of many united together.
was able to explode this giant bomb
nearly over the racecourse at EPSON
at an altitude of about half mile;
the course was deserted, but the ma
ture of the ground seemed favorable
for a grand effect. l can but state,
however, that the resulting report and
subsequent echoes were under the cir
cumstances disappointing.
The audibility of the sound made by
a bell is still more uncertain than that
made by gun. Seamen lighthouse
keepers and others whose training
makes them close observers constant
ly insist on this uncertainty.
On one occasion, when making a
balloon ascent from Newbury, I caused
the tenor bell of Thatcham Church,
weighing upward of ton, and distant
scarcely three miles to windward, to
be set ringing as in peal, The wind
Twas a light breeze, and the balloon
maintained attitudes varying between
900 and 5000 feet, yet the bell was
inaudible to each and all of the four
observers in the car. Against this
may be quoted a statement which
have on the authority of Messrs.
Mears, the well-known bell founders.
It appears that the tenor bell of the
peal of st. Bees, on the coast of
Cumberland, has been heard at the top
of Scafell Pixies, sixteen miles distant
in straight line. This is certainly g
record, and must probably be largely
accounted for by the slope of the
mountain.

cidents and explosions of gasoline
chemicals, dust, etc.
Such common causes as lamD ac.
cIdents, sparks, careless use of
matches, cigars, cigarettes and
tobacco pipes, ashes, hot Goals, omen
hreplaces and CRATES, plumbers
furnaces, candles and gas jets were
responsible for 1885 per cent. of tbs
amount of the loss. Property EXPOSED
TO fire originating on other premises
was destroyed to the extent of BLOB
per cent. Fires originating from
crime and michief. such as in
cendiarism, tramps. burglars, drunken
men, lunatics and mischievous chill
dren were responsible for $50 per
cent. Of the loss Fires of unknown
origin burned Pills per cent. 1t is
estimated, however. that at least so
per cent. OF the fires of unknown
origin are caused by incediaries.
OF the causes which may be- con-
sldered unavoidable, lightning was re-
sponsible for 2.15 per cent. of the loss
caused AZ
per cent, the result of careless or
ignorant handling of inflammable ma
ter1al. From the foregoing ner
centages it will be seen that nearly
all fires are preventable. That they
are not prevented is due in a large
measure to the fact that the people
of this country are ignorant or IN
| different as to the reasons for an an
nual absolute waste, which has
averaged almost $4,000 900 in
twenty-six years.
1t seems to be a popular fallacy
| that a fire insurance policy indem-
nifies all loss. During the past
| tWenty-siX years the fire insurance
companies have paid to the property
owners of this 'country a sum aggre-
eating over S1,700,000 900. The diff
| ference between the amount of the
property loss, which is placed in the
Fire Tables" at $2,S99, 714,021. and
the amount distributed by the in
surance companies represents what
| has been borne directly by fire suffer
ers. The companies have collected
from policy holders and, therefore,
from the thrifty of this country the
amount which they have paid IN
| losses. The sooner the public at
large appreciate these facts the sooner
will the time arrive when the general
prosperity will be enhanced by de
cided lessening Of this unnecessary
| drain.

How to Have Fresh Beef.

Have your meat cut into steak as
soon as we'll cooled. Take a four-gal-
Ion jar of the broad, ctraight shape,
or any size will do. The jar must be
Ipure, well cleaned, aired and cool when
meat is put in. Sprinkle little salt
over the bottom OF jar, then lay in
meat until it covers the bottom.
where the larger pieces of meat fail
to come together, fill in with small
pieces, press down closely with hand
or clean cloth. Then sprinkle little
salt all over the meat, also a little
pepper, same as if to cook Immediate
ly. Repeat until jar is about two
inches from top. Then have linen
towel or white cloth wrung out of
strong salt water, and press that down
very close on the meat, sprinkle a lit
tie salt over the top, cover close and
keep in cool, dry place. Every few
days wash cloth and wiring out of the
salt water as before. We have had
success with beef put up this way.
Roll the cloth over when you take out
a steak; if taken off and laid where it
will get soiled it will not do to put
back. After taking out any press the
towel down firmly every time
