An extension of Meridian street from tn

the property in Meridian Heights. the

signed the petition, favoring the extension.
A board of reviewers will report favor
ably on the proposed extension TO the Com

the Meridian Heights Association.
Meridian Heights was laid out from plans

will be spoiled. On this ground the associa-

courts to prevent the extension.
Five years ago, when Meridian Heights
was laid out, an effort was made to have
Meridian street extended through the place.
The association protested to the Board of
Commissioners that the extension would

IMPORTATION OF GEMS.
Precious Stones Worth $25, ZOO, 900
Brought to This Country I'm 1902.

washington Specldl III NEW 1Ork IrlDune.
The total value of precious stones i'm
ported into the United States in 1902 was
$25 776, being $3.50 200 in excess of the value
of gems imported in the previous year.
The total production Of precious stones in
the United States in the same year was
$318,30O. as compared with $2S9050 in 1901
and 1898, 10 in 1900. These figures and many
interesting facts regarding the production
and trade in precious stones are set forth in
a report that subject just prepared by
the Geological Survey. The report contains
in addition to much that is Of great econ
omic value to the precious stones industry
of a more general nature. The statement is
made. for example, that the largest pile of
diamonds ever brought together was col
lected at the De Beers mine in South Africa
in July 1900. The directors OF the company
were DESTROYS Of knowing the quantity of
diamonds necessary to fill measure of 76
cubic inches. Diamonds of all kinds We're
piled up just as they had been mined, and
1t was ascertained that a cubic metre of
diamonds weighs II, sac, 900 carats and has an
approximate value of S7S, $1,000 francs, or
SIS. $50 900.
The peculiar business methods of Oriental
merchants are illustrated by the manner of
buying rubies in Burma. In the examination
merchants holding that full sunlight alone
can bring out the color and brilliancy of the
gems. Sales must, therefore. take place be-
tween the hours or and 3, and the sky
must be clear. The purchaser placed near a
window, has before him a large copper plate
The sellers come to him one by one, and
each empties upon this plate his little bag Of
rubies. The purchaser proceeds to arrange
them for valuation in number of small
heaps. The first division is into three grades,
according to size; each of these groups is
again divided into three piles, according to
color; and each Of these piles, in turn Is
again divided into three groups, according
to size. There are thus twenty-seven grades
in ALL in addition to the larger stones that
are set aside for valuation and sale singly
The bright copper plate has a curious use:
The sunlight reflected from Ii through the
stones brings out a color effect with true
rubies different from that with red spinels
and tourmalines, which are thus easily sep
arated. The buyer and seller then go through
a peculiar method of bargaining by signs,
or rather, grips, in perfect silence. After
agreeing on the fairness of the classical
tons they join their right hands, covered
with a handkerchief or the flap OF gar
ment, and by grasps and pressures. mutu-
ally understood among all these dealers,
they make. modify and accept proposals of
purchase and sale. The hands are then I'M
covered, and the prices are recorded.
The large single stones are valued accord
ing to color and shape for cutting, the very
fine ones bringing high prices. A ruby of
1914 carats from the Mogok mine some years
ago brought $1,000 rupees 100000 at CAL
cutta.

The art salon at the German House has
been a source of delightful surprises to the
delegates. as few OF them anticipated an
exhibit of such magnitude and of such ex-
almost solely to the industry of the
tional officers, and President Nussbaumer
comes in for no small share of the credit.
He devoted three weeks to travelling about
over the country visiting prominent pho
tographers to urge them TO make exhibits
here. and in addition to this did a great
amount of correspondence.
The salon is really OF the highest merit
a general exhibit in the history OF the
national association" said President Nuss-
banner last night. The photographers who
go to the considerable pains and expense
to make exhibits do so from a purely I'M
selfish motive, as they have nothing to gain
from their own exhibits save the advance
ment in their art which planning and exc
cutting their work necessarily brings. How
ever, they are helped by the exhibits of
others. and in this way the salon is placed
on a mutual benefit basis that is most de-
Sirable.
One of the most interesting exhibits in
the salon is that of the Photo-Secession
Society, of New York city. This is a So
ciety of photographers who respect no set
laws for the making of photographs, but
who follow any method and take any de-
parture from conventional lines so long as
they can accomplish the desired result and
obtain pictures that interpret their ideas

VENICE WAS SURPRISED.


VENICE, Aug. 4-The election of Cardi-
nal Sarto as Pope produced here an i'm
. preston more of stupor than anything else,
because his candidacy, in which he never
put much faith, seemed almost hopeless,
and also because ii was thought here that,
although a man of great piety, he was lack
ing in one of the eminent qualities OF
Pope. being ignorant of diplomacy. For in
stance. the fact that he speaks nothing but
Italian was considered a great drawback
as every Pontiff is obliged to receive many
personages who are unfamiliar with the
Italian language. The news was communi-
Gated to his sisters, who live with him IN
the palace of the patriarch, and a great
crowd gathered there TO register. Many
shops were closed and some OF the most
important personages OF Venice went to the
patriarchs palace TO congratulate his SIS
tiers, among them being Don Carlos, the
Spanish pretender, and his wife, who spent
some time there, being personal acquaint-
ances of the new Pope.
The people of Venice believe that If Cardi-
nal Sarto was elected he would assume the
name of Benedict XII in memory of the
last Benedict, who, like Plus X, came from
the province of Treviso, and was also the
son of poor people, and OF modest habits.
Plus is much admired here. AT o'clock
every morning he was in the habit of going
islands OF Lido. which separate the lagoons
OF Venice from the Adriatic sea, as he loved
exercise and the country very much. He
often went TO his native village of Riese,
where he has many poor relations, whom
he helped.

PREDICTED sARro,s ELECTION.
Father Basil, Of Jasper, Explains Why
Venetian Was Logical Choice.

The Rev. Father Basil. parish priest at
Jasper, Dubois county. who was in Indian
apolis last night. the guest OF Andrew NJ.
Sweeney. president of the School Board,
predicted that Cardinal Sarto would be
elected Pope.
II seemed quite certain when the cardi-
mails went into the Sistine Chapel that
neither Cardinal Rampolla nor any OF the
other three candidates mentioned promi-
nently for election TO the papacy could
concentrate enough votes TO secure his cleo
ton, the Rev. Basil says.
The selection of Cardinal SaTto was not
q surprise 10 me-" said Father Basil. he,
like Leo XIII before him. was not ldenu-
fed with any of the measures OF the old
regime as he lived away from Rome.
Therefore. taking into consideration the cir
cumstances of the contest. Cardinal Sarto
was the logical candidate OF the situation
Like Leo he had prepared himself for this
exalted position by administering Tor many
years TO the needs of a large diocese. And
he will surely be a worthy successor to his
namesake and 10 the great Leo, mis- late
predecessor.
'It was plain that neither Rampolla nor
none OF the other prominent candidates
could get twO-thirds of the votes. There
fore, IL was plain that outside candidate
would he elected, one who, perhaps, had not
been regarded as a likely successor TO Leo;
a candidate who did not belong TO the Curia
that is, those men who reside in Rome and
are connected with the government OF the
church. And as only an Italian could be
elected / considered Cardinal Sarto the most
likely candidate.

JUPITER P. VERY LIBERAL
RAINFALL FOR FIRST FEW DAYS OF
AUGUST EXCEEDINGLY HEAVY.
Precipitation for First Four Days of
August Half that for Entire

About the most refreshing and welcome
thing in summer, when the sun is blazing,
is good, hard rain, such as Indianapolis
has just enjoyed during the past two days.
1t comes as godsend to thousands of
people in stuffy apartments and unventi-
lated rooms, where the heat and closeness
breed disease and death and torture the
sick and helpless beyond comprehension.
1t comes as washday to the city. cleaning
the buildings and the streets of dirt and
dust and germs. 1t comes to the farmer as
money, for it saves his crops. To the people
in the home, trying to keep cool with fans
and ice drinks, 1t comes as a tonic
The lberalty Of Jupiter Pluvius during
these first few days of August has been
bountiful. Already the rainfall this month
has been one-half as great as the total
rainfall Of the whole month of July, while
an even comparison shows that during the
first four days OF July the rainfall was O6.
of inch. with 1.52 inches this month up
to o'clock last night. The total rainfall
for July was 254 inches. The rainfall has
been general throughout the State, no To-
cality escaping a taste of the showers. The
average fall for the state was 80 inch.
