Equal care must be taken not to put

Most readers have heard of the re-
markable rug owned by the Shah of
Persia 1t is, perhaps more. a kneel-
ing mat than rug, being barely two
feet square. The design, which is very
elaborate, is worked throughout in
precious stones, and the effect is daz-
zling in its splendor. The ground is
formed of rose diamonds, and in the
center is a large bird whose neck is
made of amethysts and body of ru-
bies. The vines which form a kind
of network through the bird may be
seen as in a cage, are made of emer-
aids, while the bands which connect
the stems are made of seed pearls
The floral emblem of Persia is shown
in yellow, blue and pink stones, this
design being known as the Nina
Khani design. The value of this small
but costly rug can scarcely be COM
puted, but it has been estimated that
If it were sold the proceeds, placed at
per cent. interest, would bring in an
income of at least $25O,000 per annum.
The value of a real old Persian rug
lies in the number of handmade knots
to the square inch. A silk rug which
was sold the other day for $25, 900, and
which was catalogued as Middle Per-

Underground Waters.

The earth contains an abundance OF
water, even in places like some OF our
great Western plateaus where the sur
face Is comparatively arid The
greatest depth at which underground
water can exist Is estimated TO be
about six miles. Below that, 1t Is be-
lieyed, the cavities and pores OF the
rock are completely closed. The
amount of water in the earth's crust
is reckoned al nearly one-third of that
contained in the oceans, so that II
would cover the whole surface of the
globe to a depth of from three 10
three thousand five hundred feet. The
waters underground flow horizontally
after sinking below the unsaturated
zone of the rocks, but In the sands Oh
the Dakota formation, which supply
remarkable Artesian wells, the motion
does not exceed one or two miles
year. The underfiow toward the sea
beneath the great plains may some
times take the form of broad streams
or moving sheets of water. But tne
movement Is excessively slow.

Philippine Climate and Isolation Re-
sponsible for Suicidal Mania.

Philippine Climate and Isolation Re-
sponsibie for Suicidal Mania.
In an interesting article In the New
York Herald Stephen Bonsal. the ia
nous war correspondent, discusses at
length the remarkable prevalence of
suicidal mania among our soldiers In
the Philippines. While admitting that
whisky and native poisonous drinks
of which our soldiers have become
enamored are responsible for part
of the many cases of sudden madness,
which are so often attended with muir
der and suicide, he maintains that
fully twice as many are due to the
climate, 10 the terrible isolation which
the men sometimes undergo, and TO
the awful strain TO which they are
sometimes subjected IN battling with
a willy and hidden foe. To the depress.
ing isolation he attributes most of the
cases of suicidal and murderous mania
which results In officers and men alike
running amuck. We quote from the
article one incident from which Mr..
Bonsal stands sponsor:
