GEM FOR BRITISH CROWN.
A Magnificent Opal Presented by a
Resident of Brisbane,
Australia.

1t seems probable that to the list OF
famous jewels of the world will be
added an Imperial opal" This mag
nficent gem. of 250-karais weight, two
inches long, two inches thick. now lies
in London bank. where it was depos-
tied in 1899 by its owner, prominent
resident of Brisbane. who told the late
premier of Queensland that he intended
TO present it to the queen in the name
of the commonwealth when the first
parliament OF united Australia assem-
bled.
The gem has scarcely been seen by
anyone. as the owner was anxious to
keep the secret till, as the first Aus
tralian gem. it should be placed in the
crown regalia. Queen Victoria was
partial to opals. The acceptance Of
the gem rests with the king. Opals
to be of great value must be of the ex-
ceptional kind. The emperor Of Aus
tria has magnificent opal. for which,
IL is said. he has refused $4,000 .ster-
ling. u is claimed that the "imperial'
gem is of considerably more value.

INVENTED BY A WOMAN
Litter Devised hy Wife of Capt. Chm d
wick of the Navy-5inde by
Women. Too.

The most practical litter yet con-
structed for carrying the wounded is
the invention Of Mrs Chadwick. the
wife Of the captain who was in com
mand of the cruiser New York at the
battle of Santiago. 1t is designed es
pecialy for us. in war. but it is equal
ly convenient for hospital or family
use and its cost is slight.
1t is kind of hammock chair. and
while its weight is only 3K. pounds it
will support the heaviest person The
bearers wear harness of two leathe!
straps, one of which goes over the
shoulder and the other around the
waist. The shoulder strap is passed
through Il broad piece of webbing 10
prevent it from cutting the shoulder of
the bearer. TO the belt strap two
strong rings are attached to which the
carrier is fastened. \ canvas strip
forms the chair.
The bearers hands are left free and
any inequality of height in the bear
ers is overcome by adjusting the
length of the shoulder straps, SO that
the waist belts shall be at the same dis.
tancc from the ground. The hospital
corps OF the United States army has
pronounced the device the best and
simplest Yet used. A woman invented
1t and women manufacture it.

BIBLE STORY TRUE.
Researches Of Rev. DR.. Wright Sub
stantiate Account of Deluge.
Travels 10000 Miles in Asia and
Finds Indisputnble Evidence of
an Extensive SubmcrGence
Of the Lnnd.

Letters have just been received at
New York city from Rev. DR.. George
Frederick Wright, the authority on
the glacial period and Biblical geol-
ogy, telling of the results of his
search in Asia for evidences that the
deluge covered the whole earth.
DR.. Wright secured a leave of alb
sence from Oberlin (O.) university
and sailed for Japan early last year.
He went at once to Siberia and be-
gan his work. His son accompanied
him as an assistant. The professor
went all through Siberia, and then
proceeded to Syria via the Ural and
Caucasus mountains. In a letter re-
ceived in New York last week from
him at Jerusalem, Prof. Wright said:
"The account of the flood in the
Bible is not such as to lead us to ex-
pcct much direct geological evidence
of it. A submergence of a year, sew
cral thousand years ago, would leave
few signs which are not obliteratcd
by time.
"'rhe Bible history stands on IFS
own merits and has independent
value. The main question of geolog-
ical interest is: Are there insuper-
able objections to the account? The
answer to this question turns upon
| the geological theories concerning
the possible or probable rate at
which changes of land levels may
| proceed.
"CatastrcDhes cOmDarable to the
flood are not strange things in geol-
ogy. The glacial period was con-
nected with q series of catastrophes'
] have Travelled 10000 miles in Asa
to find evidences of the glacial period
and have found none. There was no
general glaciation of eastern and
central Asia, as there was of Amer
lea and Europe.
"But / have found indisputable cvi-
] dence of an extensive submergence
of the land extending to the base OF
Mount Ararat, and that this submer'
| gency took place subsequent to tia
appearance of man on the earth
The Russian geologists have recently
found remains of man deep down in
the deposits connected with this pc
riod of ,submergence.
"The one point of certaintyis that
since mans appearance there has
been a period of instability in the
earth's crust in northern and central
Asia, which shows that the Biblical
account Of the food isfan entirely
credible story" EAfPbs

company, has received notification
that the De Beers company had settled

Gently awarded Mrs. Labram by the
British government in recognition OF
the services of her husband to the gov

Through the genius and resources
of Labram the famous Long Cecil
gun was constructed at Kimberley
when the war began, and was the only
weapon in the town that possessed
sufficient range TO keep the Beers at
respectful distance. Labram was
killed in his hotel by Boer shell only
a few days before the siege of Kimber-
ley was raised.

PLACES WOMEN UNDER BAN.
Vienna Postal Employees Association
Bars Them from Member
ship.

At meeting of the Postal Employees
association on Sunday at Vienna it was
voted to strike out "a clause in the con-
stitution admitting women to the or
ganization as contributing members.
For this step no particular reasons are
advanced except general hostility to
the sex. One speaker declared that
''women would constitute most dan
gerous element in the union, and If
given finger would finally take. the
whole" Much indignation is felt
among the female employees of the
postal department for this action,
which they declare brutal and selfish.

In reply to a speech by Sir Charles

other evening Sir Michael Hicks Beach,
chancellor Of the eXchequer. said he

He demurred, however. to Mr.. Vim
cents statement that the greater pro-
portion of this export had been sent
from the United States to the United
Kingdom.
He stated that for the year ending

A NEW EXPLOSIVE.
Great Destructive Powers Shown at
Sandy Hook Proving Grounds.
Shell Loaded with the stun Pene-
trates Seven Inches of Armor and
Then Explodes Destructively-
Great Secrecy over Matter.

Tests are being made at the Sandy
Hook proving grounds with new
explosive of great power. Ordnance
officials say highly satisfactory re-
suits have been obtained. Great Sc
crecy has been observed in conduct
ing the tests, for the war department
has determined that nothing shall
be made public regarding the expert
ments. 1t has been learned that the
new explosive is the invention of an
American and that it has not yet
been named. This removes it from
the class of explosives which have
been named and described and marks
it as something entirely new.
A shell loaded with the new ex-
plosive penetrated seven inches of
armor and then burst destructively.
With most explosives the heat gen
Grated by the shells impact has
caused it to explode before penetrat-
ing the armor. Hence, if launched
against the side of a battleship a
shell would prove far less effective
than if it penetrated the armor be-
fore exploding.
As test of the power of the new
explosive a shell was loaded with it,
buried many feet deep in sand, and
huge pile of timber was placed on
top of the heap. The same Nind of
shell. loaded with an equal amount
of other explosives, was not burst by
the explosion. With the new com
pound, however, the shell was burst
into pieces and a sheet of flame
shot up through sand and timber

GIRL IN DIRE PERIL.
Child Run Over by an Engine on
TrcstIe in Connecticut Is
Found Unhurt.

When Engineer Wilson, of the pas
senger train that reaches Meriden,
Conn, at 1851 p. m. was speeding into
Meriden the other Saturday afternoon
he saw Annie Kelpt, the eight-year-old
child of Frank Kelpt, walking on a
trestle not many rods ahead OF the To-
comotive. The little one was brought
into view when the train rounded a
bend in the road.
Engineer Wilson grabbed the whis-
tie cord to warn the girl. She started
to run from the trestle to the side of
the track, but believing that she could
not cover the distance in time to es-
cape the train she tried to jump from
the trestle. In doing so she caught
her foot in the ties and fell between
the rails and could not move an inch.
The engineer reversed the lever and
applied the emergency brakes, but
was not able to bring the train to a
stop until the locomotive and one
truck of the tender had passed over
the body of the child.
Wilson jumped from his cab and ran
back TO pick up what he was sure
would be the mangled body of the
girl. Instead, he found Annie under
the tender unharmed, except for a
slight scratch on the side of her head.
She had so fallen that the engine and
fore truck of the, tender had passed
over her body without touching her.
She ran away when Engineer Wilson
hauled her out from under the trucks.

sovereign cannot marry without the
consent of her parliament. She may
marry otherwise, but in that case
would inexorably have to renounce the
throne. Therefore two bills are about
to be put before the states general, the
first giving the parliamentary consent
to Queen Wilhelmina's marriage to
Duke Henry OF Mecklenburg-Schw
and the second granting full naturali
zation 10 he duke, as well as deciding
upon his future title. Temporarily
this title is that of prince consort.
