PRECIOUS STONES IN 1904.

It has taken no trained eye to ob- serve that the woman of fashion has gone back to certain primitive no- uons during the past year. Ornament has not exactly superseded dress, but it has certainly become the distinctive factor in dress and so usurped its place, in many instances, as to make the original function of clothing we'll nigh forgotten. This savage glori- ficaion of adornment expresses itself strongly in the present popularity of the beads and chains with which wom- en festoon themselves. It will be a surprise, then, to nobody to learn that MT. George F. KunZ, special agent of the United States Geological Survey, states in his report on the precious stones industry during 1904 that the sale of semi-precious stone beads of every variety of material has ben ex- traordinary.
 These beads have been produced in all sizes, either round, India cut, or faceted. They have been made of amethyst, Spanish topaz, rock crystal rose quartz, aventurine, blue chalce- dOny, amazon stone, New Zealand jade( (nephrite), Burmese (sO-called Chinese) jadeite, mOonstone, garnet. and other minerals of every kind. Coral in the form of beads has been especially in vogue. The market has demanded the richest Mediterranean coral. either deep red or delicate pink; Japanese coral, pink, yellow ping, and red, as well as white coral, either pure white or with a single speck of red or pink on each bead, the beads in the center of a string being often three-fourths of an inch to one inch in diameter. The great demand and the high price for the pale pink coral has led to some limitations, con sisting, first, of the darker coral dis colored by heating; second, of marble of about the same weight as coral stained with aniline or other dyes; third of white coral stained in the same manner; and, fourth, of glass paste limitations imported from the East Another imitation is made from the mineral substance so much used by the Chinese for their stone cary. ings and limitations of jade-that is agalmatolite, or Chinese figure stone which is very cleverly stained to be palmed off as red or deep pink coral
 The demand for semi-preciOus stones has not been confined to their use in bead form. Quantities of peridot have been cut from Egyptian material, and the yellow smoky quartz called topaz,

from Spain and Brazil, has sold well. The Queensland opal matrix has also been much in favor, both the variety with rich patches of opal, either white or hluish, often of great brilliancy, and the variety that is dark brown, the entire mass permeated with very thin, irregular sueaks or veins of highly colored opal, making an irri- descent play of color on a brown field, like the lumachelle marble.
 There are many noteworthy state ments in Mir. Kunzs report. If in this age of stone beads everybody can wear jewels, there are still a few people who affect to care for no or naments other than the most costly. It may interest them to know that the output of diamonds was less in quan- tity in 1904 than it was in 1903. The year was marked by several advances of five per cent in the price of the rough-diamond material. which was imported into the United States to the value of S9,675,742. It thus ap- pears that diamonds and pearls to a greater value are now cut annually in the United States than were i'm ported, cut or uncut, into the country for the years 1867 to 1871 inclusive, or for any one year until 1887.

AMERICAN RARSHIPS ARE NOV UNSINKABLE Electrical Automatic Doors Will Keep the Compartments
 WatGFtight OR the New BdtteShipS

But still there were defects. The doors were to delicate and intricate, many naval officers thought The scheme must be made simple and, if possible, lighter. The Bureau of Construction and Repair imposed most severe tests for any new system of automatic doors
 Tn tests of the new plan have just been completed, and it is believed that the two new vessels will, accord. ingly be the safest warships afloat.
 This IS but one of the numerous improvements which will go on the new ships. Safety, safety of the ship and of the men in her, is a primary requirement. Besides the Long Arm" bulkhead doors, always under perfect control by means of electuc- lJy, greater safety is the inspiration of dozens of improvements that are going into our new warships. One of these improvements is a sprink- ling device for the magazines; anOth- is an electrical device for controlling the firing of the boilers.
 Quite the most ingenious or minor improvements is the portable steering apparatus lately patented, especially for use aboard warships. Cripple the steering apparatus and the ship is at the mercy of the elements of hu man enemies. This portable steer ing apparatus, it is claimed, will mako it possible to direct the ship from any one of half a dozen stations by means of electrical connections there located and all communicating with the steering room, the most carefully protected part of a warship. The near future is likely to see tLe war ship with aTmored smokestacks and with better protection than the com ing tower now affords for the com mander of war vessels in action.

SAYS HELL HAS BROKEN LOOSE IN RUSSIA" w. T. Stead, the Writer, Expects 100000 Lives Will be
 Lost Before Quiet is Finally Restored

Berlin, Nov. 10.-William T. Stead, fresh from Russia, stopped over in Berlin today on his way to Paris. For an hour and half he poured forth his vivid impressions of hell pretty well let loose, as he called it, of the things he had seen and heard, and of the "ghastly welter into which Russian society has drifted."
 Strange things are happening D said MT. Stead. Think of the incl dents at Reval. Some determined persons marched down the street to the town hall followed by a crowd. There the Mayor and Councilmen fere sitting, dehberating on the sit ration. In came our determined friends.
 "'We demand they said, we de mand liberty, universal suffrage and the right to rule ourselves.'
 "'BuJ,' said the Mayor, T cannot give you these things. I would glad. ly send your petition to the Emperor
 We'll continued the delegates we are delegates of a revolution, and if we don't get what we want we have decided to burn the city. Give us 7,0OC rubles.
 "The Mayor and his colleagues thought it was better to pay the 7,OOC rubles than to have the city burned so they raised the money, paid the del eeates. and the latter went away promising to be very good, and they were good. But another crowd came and said,
 What about us2 Pay US. too"

AMERICAN
(special Correspondenee.l )


 Washington, D. C., Nov 1l.-What happens to a battleship when it's hull is punctured? It usually sinks. When H. NJ s. "Camperdown" plunged into the Victoria" ten years ago, the lat ter went down and 500 lives were lost. How to prevent such disasters has been a problem ever before Admiral ty departments. That naval arcni- tects hadn't solved it was made clear in the recent war between Russia and Japan When either a Russian or Japanese vessel was struck below the water line to the bottom it went.
 Constructors of the United States Navy believe Uncle Sam has now solved this problem. The Bureau of Construction and Repair has been working away at it for a long time, but tests just completed by the 5u- Teau indicate that the two new ships Montana" and North Carolina" now being built at Newport News, will come nearer to being unsuitable than any vessel ever before launched.
 The solution of the problem is in the perfection of system of auto matic bulkhead doors operating by electricity, and permitting of closure in time of emergency by a single of ficer on the bridge of the ship. The device has been named the Long Arm system, because the long arm Of the electric wires reach out to save the ship.
 A ship is divided into watertight Compartments with bulkhead doors permitting intercourse between them If the ships hull is punctured water rusbes in. If the doors are shut, on. ly the compartment nearest the pune. ture will be flooded. The vessel will still float. When the Victoria was struck, her doors were open. The men were too excited to close them. If the doors of a ship are automatic ally closed in time Of need, the yes sel is unsuitable. That's what the Pew plan comes about as near to se- curing as human ingenuity allows.
 Hydraulic and pneumatic doors were tried by our Navy Department, but they proved dangerous and impracti- cable. Then Rear Admiral and Naval Constructor Bovles, bow president Of the Fore River Shipyards, con- ceiyed the idea of operating the doors by electricity. An electrical system was then developed and has been in stalled on sixteen of the newest ships.

The "Red Virgin"

This the Mayor would not do, and they went away with threats of de struction The Red Virgin of the French commune was Louise Michel. We'll, in Reval a certain widow named Linde, dressed in scarlet from top to toe, and with an ax over her shoulder, placed herself at the head of the mob. All night the reyolutionists whetted themselves up. In the meantime the governor had gotten out troops, and the mob gathered in the morning, fac ing the soldiers in the great square.
 "The governor called on the mob to disperse, and said that If after fifteen minutes they did not disperse he would order the troops to fire. Five min utes went by, and the Widow Linde, in red, climbed lamp-post and cried out encouragement and exhorted stead

fastness for the revolution. The sol. diers began to call out to the people to go away, as if they were ordered to fire they must do so, and they did not want to kill anybody.
 Kill him! Kill him!' screamed the Widow Linde, pointing to the goyer. nor.
 Several shots were freed from the crowd, but no one was hit. The Governor, who waited to the end of the fifteen minutes, then gave the com mand to fire, and the Widow Linde, shot through the body, fell to the ground, as Baron Euxull, an eye-wiC- ness to the scene, told me, like a spar.

 Emperor Only Cool Man.
 The coolest man in Russia is the Emperor. God grant that he may keep his seat. that the Liberals may gather about him, and that they may resist the forces of dissolution. His authority is shaken, passions are loose, and things are likely to be worse.
 There may be fearful slaughterings. As an Optimist, I think a hundred thousand lives may fall. If I were pessimistic, I would say two millions. The situation is some thing like this: The police gendarmes and COssacks have been suppressing a revolution in the name of the Emper- CT. Suddenly, they say, the Emperor goes over to the Liberal side, and that he thinks more of those who want to vote, and who are doing everything in the way of meeting and agitation, which the police were taught to be- Heve was unlawful, than he does of them As simply human nature the police and gendarmes say: oh, very well! If the Emperor's new friends act like this, it is no concern of ours"

The private dining rooms of the Mo
ana-there are two of them--were
thrown into one apartment for the pur-
poses of the inquest, a large table for
the use of the reporters being placed
directly in the connecting doorway,
completely blocking it. The deputy
sheriff. in whose charge the inquiry
was. sat near small table in the IN
ner room where a couple of stenogra-
pliers took notes busily, and Attorney
General Lorrin Andrews sat facing him,
a little closer to the press table. Judge
Stanley. representing the legal inter
ests of the Stanford heirs, was closer
to Mr. RawIins. with whom he was in
constant whispered communication, evil
dently suggesting questions, and the
Jurors were grouped about the room
variously, in easily lounging attitudes
but manifesting the keenest interest in
what was going forward. Back of the
press table. a few spectators went in
and out.
Miss Berner, the companion, secretary
and. it is said, the spiritualistfc COM
forter of Mrs. Stanford, was the first
teresting. Perhaps even the chemists
would not have been listened to with
more attention. Miss Berner had not
left her apartment in the hotel from the
time of the tragedy until she appeared
on he witness stand yesterday. She
was dressed in white, the frock having
an openwork front, with long sleeves
and a high collar, and on her thin and
long white hands, which she held

most of the time, flashed a dozen rich
rings. Her gray hair was dressed in a
