So famed have these Grape cures
become, and so wonderful are the
cures they have effected, that ailing
people from every part of the globe

1t has been accomplished, however,

forth by flints, arranged in a regular

could be carried on to further
lengths, it is not impossible that such
an orchestra could be forth coming.
1t was work of years. for Nj. Bau-
Dire to make the collection of flints
which constitute his geological piano.
They are now to, be seen at an exhi-
btion which is being held at Brest.
The stones do not belong to the class
of resonant rocks known as 'phono-
lytes, such as are found in Auvergne,
not far from Mont-DOre, but are fiints
collected by NJ. Baudre with infinite
toll and search, each giving when
struck true musical note.
By accident while taking country
walk one day he picked up a flint and
CHANGING to strike it heard faint
note respond to the blow. The idea
took hold of him to gather, If possible,
enough flints to form a complete chro-
matte scale. Difficulties in the search
for such stones only increased his ar
dor For more than 30 years he pur-
sued the quest, making it the principal
aim of his life to form out of col
lection of flints the instrument he
called the geological piano."
After many years he had at length
got together the full scale in flint
notes, and numerous examples of each,
with the exception of one. He had
been so far unsuccessful in putting
his hand on the first DO" Perhaps
it did not exist in nature. He gave
UP hope that he could meet with 1t
in France. He would try Canada.
But the New World showed no trace
of the initial note of the octave, and
NJ. Baudre returned to his native land
resigned to the notion that the chase
must be abandoned in his old age.
Fortune once again smiled, and the
stone of which he despaired suddenly
appeared as he was walking in Berry.
Advanced in years. he now passes
his leisure in playing, as he does with
skill, on this curious piano.

THE TALISMAN OAJACA.

1t Is Guarded with Reverence by
Mexican Indians-An American
Woman Is the First Foreigner to
Touch the Gem-President Diax
Tried in Vain.
For years-ever since Mexico was
opened to the white man--every trav-
eler to that romantic land has heard
of the emerald of Oajaca. Rumor said
that 1t was huge almost beyond be-
lief; whatever its size, it was certain
that the Indians believed in its magic
properties No white man ever saw 1t;
but now an American woman has sue
ceeded, through a sister woman's graf
itude, where men found failure.
This emerald of Oajaca has for ages
been the object of covetous interest on
the part of Spanish vicerory, Mexican
presidents and provincial governors.
Great dealers in precious stones have
sought it, too, but the Indians, as the
lineal descendants of the AZtecs. to
whom the emerald is supposed to have
originally belonged hold it in super
stitious reverance and such safe keep
ing that, until recent years, little but
uHCOuuFiHeQ leBetluS VI tie olOllc ca
istence was known.
A few years ago President Diaz be-
came so interested in the matter that
he decided to prove the truth or fall
lacy of the reports of this emerald 8
size and value. Without warning he
suddenly appeared in the village
where 1t was said the gem was Sc
creted. He summoned the people into
the plaza, and announced that If they
would show him the emrald known
to be in their possession he would in
return proclaim public holiday and
entertain them with pista at his own
expense. He promised, as president,
and by virtue of the same blood in his
and their veins, that if they would
accede to his request he would not at
tempt to take the emerald from them.
Upon this prolonged consultation en-
sued among the Indians. the result of
which was that from afar off in the
crowd one of them held up at arms
length between his forefinger and
thumb the famous emerald, scintil-
lating in the rays of the sun. Diaz
was DESTROYS of a closer inspection,
and turning to his guards, ordered the
man to be brought to him. His ac-
tions, If not his words were at once
considered by the Indians to be sus-
picious. So they promptly raised a
tumult, and amid shouts of viva
Porfrio Diaz." "Viva La Fiesta" the
man and the emerald disappeared, and
this was the only glimpse the powerful
president was able TO obtain of 1t.
An American woman had better for
tune. 1t happened that her husband
was appointed to superintend the med
zeal department of the railroad being
built through OaJaca. and incidentally
saved the life OF an Indian woman In

to accept fee. But half in Jest he
replied that IL she would show him
the Oajaca emerald he would be sat-
isfied. At this the woman seemed
greatly disturbed. She at first de-
clared she knew nothing about it. but
on being pressed further by the doc
tors wife, she admitted knowing where
1t was hidden. Finally she agreed that
II the doctor would solemnly promise
to absent himself she would obtain
the stone and show II to his wife. For
some unexplained reason she held so
steadfastly to this point that the wife
must be alone when the emerald was
produced, that 1t was yielded, though
much to the doctors disappointment.
So one morning shortly after the In
dian woman appeared at the physi-
clans temporary residence. She made
sure that the doctors wife and her
self were alone; then she produced the
emerald from a fold of her clothing.
For about a minute only was the doc
tors wife permitted to inspect the
gem, while 1t was held securely in
the Indian woman's fingers. In size,
according to the fortunate visitors ac-
count, the stone is as large as . pig
cons egg. crudely polished. and of
rich, grass green color. In it's depths
she noticed few black spots or flaws,
which goes far to prove that it is
genuine emerald and not volcanic glass,
as has been suggested. The purest
emeralds are seldom without flaws, this
bein gone of the tests taken into ac-
count by experts.
In great haste the Indian woman
again secreted the gem and went out:
but one curious circumstance the doc
tor and his wife remarked subsequent
ly. During the remainder of their stay
in the village, though they met the
woman several times, neither by word
nor sign would she recognize their
previous relations. She treated them
as absolute strangers. To her mind
the risk she had run in showing the
talisman of her tribe was full COM
pensation for the service rendered. The
general belief is that the stone is not
secreted in any place. but is concealed
on the person of one of the Indians.
and passed on as circumstances may
require. If such is the case, the wo-
man must have obtained the gem by
stealth, and during the time 1t was In
her possession she was doubtless in no
little danger of her life.
