OLD IDEAS ABOUT GEMS.

Pearls Were Thought to De Dew

The Indians called rock crystal an
''unripe diamond" and until the begin

was thought to be the only land which
produced that precious stone 1t was

U.S. Yet as far back as 900 b. c.
"didactic history" of precious stones
was written and in Pliny's time the
supply must have been plentiful, as he
wrote. I'VE drink out of Il mass of
gems, and our drinking vessels are
formed of cmcralds." We are also told
that Nero aided his weak sight by
spectaces made of emeralds.
Put is very difficult to determine
whence all the gems came, as discov-
erers took care to leave no record. The
nations who traded in them were
afraid of their Whereabouts being
known. and even the most ancient mer-
chants would not disclose any definite
locale All sorts of myths have ac-
cordingly sprung up concerning the
origin of gems. diamond was the
name given to a youth who was turned

HUNDRED MILE COAST,
The Oroya Railway In Peru Distin-

Lord Ernest Hamilton describes his

they are to be found nowhere else.
This Oroya railway is a very won
derful line indeed. 1t not only climbs
higher than any other railway in the
world, but also distinguished itself in
a variety Of other ways incidentally
referred to hereafter. But the accom-
plishment with which l am chiefly con-
cerned is thiS-that it provides the only
road in the world which a man on
wheels can travel over 100 miles by
his own momentum and practically at
any pace to which the tiend of reck-
lessneSs may urge him.
The object of what is here written
is to trace the sensations born of a
run down from the summit of the Orc
va railway, 1866 feetqabove sea level,
to the verge of the Pacific. You start
under the eye of the eternal SHOWS,
and you finish among humming birds
and palms. You start sick with the I'M

How High Can a Balloon Rise.

The altitude that may be attained
by balloon depends, first, upon its
size; secondly, upon the filling of gas
and, thirdly, upon the weight being
carried. \ balloon of ordinary size,
$4,000 cubic feet, carrying the smallest
weight-that Is, one person-when filled
with Illuminating gas may reach 20,G00
feet, but when filled with hydrogen
$1,000 feet. In order to ascend higher
we first of all need Il bigger balloon.
One may say it was a happy chance
that the Royal Meteorological institute
of Berlin was provided with balloon
of the unusual dimensions of 100000
cubic feet. The German emperor fur
nished $500 for making experiments
with it, and the Meteorological insti-
tute decided to make use of this op-
portunity for studying the highest re-
gions of osphere.-Harper's Maya

a man who has made hole in anoth-
