OLD IDEAS ABOUT GEMS.

Pearls Were Thought 10 he Dew
drops Caught by the Shell.
The Indians called rock crystal an
"unripe diamond" and until the begin
ming Of the eighteenth century India
was thought to be the only land which
produced that precious stone. 1t was
not, therefore, until the discovery Of
India that the diamond was known TO
us. Yet M far back as 800 u. 9. a
"didactic history" OF precious stones
was written, and In Pliny's time the
supply must have been plentiful, as he
wrote, 1--WE drink out Of mass OF
gems. and our drinking vessels are
formed of cmeralds." We nre also told
that Nero aided his weak sight by
spectacles made OF emeralds.
Put IL very difficult to determine
whence all the gems came. as discov-
erers took care to leave no record. The
nations who traded In them wero
afraid Of their whereabouts being
known, and even the most ancient mer.
chants would not disclose any definite
locale. All sorts Of myths have nc
cOrdlDgly sprung up concerning the
origin OF gems Diamond" was the
name given to n youth who was turned

Bacchus, but saved from him by Di-

gem into wine color and endowed the

RESIGNATION OF JUDGE
HUMPHREYS is ACCEPTED
Will Return to Private Practice of Law
Said to Have Congressional
Aspirations.

The resignation of Judge A. S. Hum
phreys, of the Hawaiian bench, has been
received by the Department of Justice
and has been accepted. the resignation
taking effect September 1.
Judge Humphreys is said to have been
somewhat unduly active In Hawaiian
politics ever since his appointment there
and was one of the prime movers in the
anti-Dole faction in the islands. The
responsibility for great deal of the
friction between this Government and
the islands Is laid at his door.
About a year ago charges were pre-
ferred against Judge Humphreys and a
delegation came here from Honolulu for
the purpose of presenting them before
the department The charges were not
pressed and no further action was taken
in the matter.
Judge Humphreys will return to the
practice of law. and It is said that he
aspires to a seat in Congress.

NOT MEXICAN WEEVIL.
Mississippi Cotton Crop Attacked by
Another Insect.

NEW ORLEANS, July 27.-The bugs
which have appeared in Holmes county,
Miss, and already somewhat damaged
the cotton crop there. besides causing
great scare, are now declared not to be
the Mexican boil weevil, as at first
supposed. 1t was thought the weevil
had been imported from Texas with
some cotton seed brought from there.
The new insect is very like the COM
mon corn wcevil. but more destructive.
The Holmes county authorities sent for
specimens of the Mexican weevil to
make comparison and decided that the
Mississippi insect was of a different
species and of less vitality.
1t has appeared in several counties of
Mississippi during the last three weeks.
but has so far done little damage.
