Professor Elrod Of the University of
Montana gives a striking description
of the treasure that his State possesses
in sapphires. The only systematic min
inc for these precious stones In the
United States is done in Montana.
The annual output amounts to 45O,OOo
or 500, 900 carets, including the stones
that are suitable for cutting as gems
and those that are only useful for me-
chanical purposes. 1t is said that the
lapidaries in Helena do finer work than
is lone on the stones that are sent TO
London to be cut. Perhaps somebody
will suggest that Montana should be
, called the "Gem State" in view OF the
fact that her output Of prccions stones
exceeds the production in that line OF
all the rest of the United States.
Professor Angelo Heilprin's opinion
of the nature of the extraordinary
tower that rose out of the crater or
Mont Pelee in Martinique a year ago,
to a height of 1000 feet, has undergone
a change. At first he thought, like
other biologists, that the tower n
sisted of extremely viscious lava, which
solidifed Immediately on its intrusion,
and thus rose vertically under the
stress Of the volcanic forces beneath.
But a later critical examination, he
now says, forces strongly upon him
the impression that the great pinnacle
was the ancient core Of the volcano,
loosened from its moorings. and lifted
bodily outward. This lifting of giant
rock masses or mountain cores"
through the crater axis of a volcano
has not been heretofore al entirely
unknown phenomenon, although
Pelee's tower is the grardest exhibit
ton of the kind on record.

things we feel, as well as of things we see.
Many things WI know that We cannot see:
We never saw a pain, but we should call
him a fool who should say we never felt or
knew a pain. We know the power of the
Christ life in the believer, because we have
felt it, and sometimes when this Christ life
in us has its perfect freedom We are able
to say with Paul: 81 can do all things in
Christ who strengthened me-"
This certainty concerning the power of
the Christ life can be attained by all who
will fulfill the conditions. There must be
q surrender to Christ and a trust in Christ.
You cannot have the sunbeam without the
sun. You cannot have the power of Christ
without the Christ Himself. The apostle
says: "Chriss is in you the hope of glory"
and it is certainly true that Christ must
be in us the power for glory. Thus the
centre Of our gertrude is Christ Himself.
We know Him. We know His power. 1t
has been exercised upon US and in US. Like
the once blind beggar, we exclaim: Gone
thing l know, whereas, l was blind, now /
see." There was no note OF uncertainty
about this; there should be no note of un-
certainty about our utterances concerning
our faith or concerning our W position.
But in this age of doubt many Christians
are so frightened out of sanity that they
are afraid to say even of the deepest ex-
periences Of the soul, Il know" Not so
Paul, facing death: II know whom l have
believed" Not so John, the beloved dis
ciple, declaring, 1--WE know that we have
passed from death unto life. We know
that when He shall appear. we shall be like
Him" 1t is not modesty, but lack of faith
which prompts Christians to say, 81 hope
I am a Christian" When we have life We
know it and should not be ashamed to say
so. If we have not the life then by all the
Importance of eternity make sure of OBJ
tanning it. 1t is possible to have a living
experience Of Jesus Christ. To have such
an experience that we may say: Il live,
yet not l, but Christ, .liveth in me-" Be.
lief may be gloriied into this experience if

TESTIMONY OF FlREMEN.
Musham's Voice Breaks as He Answers
Questions. II Halls Shut Yesterday.
(By the Associated Press.)

Chicago, Jan. 15.-The coroners inquest
over the victims of the Iroquois Theatre
fire today was given over to witnesses
from the fire department Chief Musham
and several of his highest ranking assist
ants were the witnesses. Chief Musham
declared that in his opinion it was the
duty of Building Commissioner Williams
to report to him if the fire department in
the theatre was inadequate. No report
had ever been made and he had taken no
action in the matter. 1t had never been
the custom of the fire department to in
spect theatres or public buildings for fire
protection unless a report had been made
from the office of the building commits
sioner. Building Commissioner Williams
previously had testified that it was not the
business of his office to report on fire
protection, but that it was matter en-
tirely belonging to the fire department.
Chief Musham was greatly moved and
his voice broke as he answered questions
implying that many lives might have been
saved if he had inspected the theatre to
see if it were properly protected against
fire He declared that there was nothing
he would not do to save lives, and that if
ne ndu III any way Idlleu III HIS uuCy II
was not only because he had administered
the affairs of his department in the same
manner as prevailed since the fire depart
ment existed in Chicago.
John Harmon chief of the first battal-
ion of the Chicago fire department, testi-
fled that he went in on the stage of the
theatre during a performance a few days
previous to the fire. He same away with
the idea that the fire protection was in
adequate, but made no report on the mat
ter because he had never considered it
part OF his business to make reports unless
they were called for.
Seventeen halls were closed today by
order of City Building Commissioner Will
liams Noncompliance with city ordi-
nances was the reason assigned.

OVER COLON AND PANAMA.
Amendment to Treaty Giving This
Government PartiaI Jurisdiction.
lBx the Associated Press

Washington, Jan. 15.-The Senate Com
mittee on Foreign Relations today adopted
an amendment to the Panama Canal
treaty giving to the United States partial
jurisdiction over the harbors of Colon
and Panama in order to protect the ship
ping interests of this country Under the
treaty the harbors are not included in the
grant to this government and the ques-
ton has been raised that the Republic
of Panama has the power to adopt regu-
lations which might interfere with the
free operation of the shipping of the
world The amendment is in the nature
of safeguard, and it is believed. will not
meet with any opposition from the Repub-
lie of Panama. The Republican members
of the committee are inclined to favor
a few minor amendments to the treaty,
if only for the purpose of bringing about
ratification of the convention by the con-
stitutional convention of the new republic,
and thus meeting and disposing of one
of the vigorously fought contentious of
the Democrats that the treaty has not
been ratified by tangible form of gov
eminent.

(By the Associated Press

Glover, former Congressman from Mis-
souri,. was again arrested by a military
squad today and placed in the county jail

Mr.. and Mrs. Cleveland Grateful.

from the intimacy of closest friendship

their comforting words to each of those
who have thus opened their hearts to us.

Cassini and Hay Confer.
(By the Associated Press

(By the Associated Press.)
Washington, d. c.. JAM. 15.-What
might have developed into. an unfortunate
misunderstanding between the govern
ments of the United States and Russia
regarding the interest of the United
States in Manchuria was adjusted at a
conference at the State Department to-
day between Mr.. Hay the Secretary OF
State, and Count Cassini, the Russian
Ambassador. AS a result the Russian
government will be advised by the am
bassador that he has the best assIr-
ances that the interest of this country
in Manchuria is absolutely and exclusively
commercial and that the consuls sent to
Mukden and Antung will confine their
activities to the faithful care of American
trade interests in that province.
Count Cassini called at the State De-
partment today to inquire into certain
statements which several European diplo-
mats here had brought to his attention
and interpreted to indicate change of
policy on the part of this government in
the direction of political intervention in
Manchuria.
The conference between the Secretary
and the Minister was characterized by
frank cordiality on both sides.
