PRECIOUS STONES IN 1902.
Their PRODUCTION In This Country Shows

Gains.
The illustrated report of the United
States geological survey on precious
stones for 1902, by George F. Kunz, Is
now in press.
The production Of precious stones in
this country in 1902 aggregated 1913 800 In
value as compared with $685. $50 in 1901,
and with 1888, no in 1900. The total value
of the precious stones imported into the
tinted States during 1902 was SEE, 412, 776.
which sum was $3.50, 2O9 more than that
for the previous year, and twelve times
the value of the importations in 1866.
The report contains, In addition TO
much that is of great economic value to
the precious stones industry, many In
feresting and curious statements OF a
more general nature. The statement is

any experience of strong feel

How Individual particles of food are
handled by the stomach appeared also
in the X-ray shadowgraphs. In this
case pellets of food were prepared in
which a large amount Of subnitrate of
bismuth had been mixed, the result be-
ing that these individual pellets cast a
darker shadow on the screen and could
thus be seen moving to and fro in the
shadowgraph picture. These harder
morsels were moved forward and back

A writer in the Chicago
Chronicle declares that the real
reason forsTthe invariable selec-

throne has seldom appeared in
print. He makes the statement
that a foreigner could not be
made pope without surrender
ing the claim to temporal
power, on the ground that it
would be homogeneous and out
Of the question, for instance,
for Cardinal Gibbons, should
he have been elected pope, to
assume temporal jurisdiction
over part of Italy. The idea
of an American reigning as an
Italian sovereign would hardly
be tolerated by the Italians.
There is really food for thought
in the suggestion.
Are you jealous of your
neighbours prosperity? What
has he done to you? Because
he pushed and pulled and
scratched and sweat and toiled
and succeeded at last in reach

you rested under the shade and
failed, does that make it your
duty to rail at him and smirch
him at every opportunity? Does
it? Say a good word for lin.
