GEMS
AND JEWELS

A few years ago some scientists ex-
cavating on the site of the ancient city
o. Tyre discovered tombs which. upon
being opened, were found to contain
amber in the form OF beads and other
jewelry. Experts in archaeology agree
that the tombs were constructed fully
500 years before the Christian era. The
amber however, is of the same quality
as that found beneath the waters of
the Baltic Sea today, and there is no
doubt that at this ancient period it was
being passed from hand to hand By
traders, finally reaching the city of the
past, where it has again been brought
TO light.
The tombs of Tyre, however are but
a few of the strange places where
precious. stones have been discovered.
AS is well known, emeralds of great
value have been found adjoining mum
mics in the tombs OF the Nile Valley;
but these undoubtedly came from
Upper Egypt, for recently traces of
mines have been found near Mount
Zabarah, where the rock and earth
We're excavated thousands of years ago
That they We're emerald mines is shown
by the fact that small gems of this
kind have been taken from the place.
1t proves that the stone was sought for
and its value priced more than two
thousand years before Christ, as the
tombs from which the gems We're Sc
cured We're built prior to the year
2400 B. G.
History records it, says Chambers
Journal, that precious stones were used
largely instead of money in the past.

quently took with him diamonds.
rubies, pearls and other stones rep
resenting great fortunes. While some
We're obtained direct from the mines,
most of them We're secured in exchange
for gems or for merchandise. This IS
why amber has been found SO many
thousands of miles from the deposit
which yielded it, and why the pearls
from the Bay of Panama We're found
centuries ago in the bazaars of India
When a stone perhaps not larger than
the tip of ones finger would buy ali
the goods which could be packed on
the backs of score of camels or horses,
and the animals themselves, it is not
strange that the worlds currency in
the old time consisted largely of jewels.
At the present day. as in the past,
many have been discovered in strange
hiding places. While the pearl might
be called a native OF the water, there are
other stones which are seldom found
except in a region absolutely waterless-
and where the seeker must endure the
rays of the blazing tropic sun. This is
especially true OF opals found in the
New World
The finest snecimen thus far discov-
cred in the United States was picked UP

dent did the discoverer notice it. and |
had he not been an expert he would
probably have tossed it aside as a

Lawlessness in Alexandria County

The policing of parts of Alexandria coun-
ty never has been good and at times it has
been VIGOROUSLY inefficient. Parts of that
county near Washington have been more
lawless than the most reckless mining camp
in the untamed west, and a hundredfold
more unsafe for decent. orderly and WELL
disposed persons. A woman or ar unarmed
man would be much safer from molestation
in Skull Guch or Crossbones Flat than in
that part Of the commonwealth of Virginia
adjoining the American capital. This Is
reproach to Virginia.
OF course the claim is made that the law
less element comes from Washington. It
shows that this element knows Where 1t is
safe. officers of the law should not be
cowed down by a lawless element no matter
where it comes from
Within a few days two double assaults on
women and their escorts have been reported
from the same place near Four-Mile run.
No clew no arrest, nothing to show that
the law officers will ever run the criminal
to death, or that they are taking measures
to prevent future assaults!
The news today shows that last evening,
before darkness had set in, young woman
and her escort were beaten and robbed near
the same spot where Joseph Settle and his
companion were murderously assaulted last
Thursday.

Maine.

Political straws are blowing in the Maine
wind today, but the distance is too great to
note the direction they take. The day Is
fair and Geographic reports have 1t that
the party leaders are exerting themselves
in getting the voters to the polling places.
Maine is an expansive state, with many iso-
lated precincts, and the result of the day s
voting is not apt to be known promptly. In
the state, as whole, the great issue is the
liquor question, Governor William T. Cobb,
republican candidate for reelection, stand
ing pat on prohibition. The democratic
rallying cry is "resubmission of the pro-
hibitory law to the will of the people"

Fear Of the Law.

There was one sentence Of Mr.. Taft's
speech at Bath, Me-, that was especially
impressive in its descriptive force. 1t was
this:
THE fear of the law has been put into
the hearts Of the members of these great
corporations
The change in the attitude of the trust
magnate has been charming. He used

ma jestic stride and bear himself with lordly

Fruit Skins ON the Walks.

The other day a man died in London in
consequence of injuries received in falling on
the sidewalk. His feet had slipped on ban
ana peeling. Forthwith the law authorities
of the big city discovered that there was no
rule against the dangerous practice of de-
posting such refuse on the walks. and the
omission was promptly supplied by the Lon
don city council. which enacted a law pun
ishng this offense with a fine of $40.
This Is wholesome regulation and neces-
sary. While possibly only a few lives have
been sacrificed in all the course of indis-
criminate banana eating in cities, many Sc
rious sprains have resulted. But whatever
may be the physical consequences. the prac-
tIce Is nevertheless distinctly improper 1t
is a siovenly habit, and the municipality
that cares for the decencies of life will be
as particular about the casting of garbage
into the streets in this form as it is about
prohibiting the dep sitting of any other trash
or filth I'm public plces.
The District police regulations broadly
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1906-09-10

cover this point. Section I OF article VIII
provides that no person shall throw or
cause to be thrown in or upon any street,
foot-way, sidewalk parking any dirt.
vegetable matter, garbage. etc. Section
Of the same article furthermore provides
that no person shall without permit place or
leave or cause to be placed or left upon any
such space any deposit dangerous to life or
limb. While the latter prohibition doubtless
refers in the main to blockades, timber.
boxes and such materials. it can readily be
construed as including fruit or vegetable
skins. which may cause pedestrians to slip
and fall. Section 81 provides for the pun
ishment of any violator of any provision OF
the article by fine Of not less than 81 nor
more than 500 for each violation.
This regulation is violated hundreds of
times daily in this city, and arrests under
it are extremely rare in the case of garbage
choppers. Fruit skins and melon rfndS of
all kinds are cast about by slOvenly people
without the slightest regard for the public
safety or the appearance of the streets. and
no citizen ever thinks to enter complaint.
Probably not one in ten Of these skin throw
ers realizes his offense or knows of the pro-
hibition of the law. A few arrests would
widely advertise the fact that there Is
rule and that it Is worth something.

all that we are as a nation. We may give
the word Yankee" national Specification
Foreigners do. In their eyes we are all
Yankees, from Maine to Texas. The cow
boys on the plains rounding up the great

factory hands of New England, and the
owners of the factories: the farm hands OF
the agricultural sections, and the owners OF
the farms; the delivers in the mines, ana

As Yankee gumptlon has done so much
for u.s. why may it not be relied on to do
more? Why should we turn at this day,
when everything is booming with us. and
go on the European tack? Mayor McClel-
Ian, who knows Europe better than Mr.
Bryan, thinks it would be unwise. John
Sharp Williams, who has just returned from
a look around over there, agrees with the
mayor Here are two against one Mr..
Bryan, by reason OF his oratory and politi-
cal leadership, commands more attention,
but is it likely that he knows more on this

at anything?
Let US hold on to our Yankee gumptlon
1t is easily our greatest asset and with 1t
we have done wonders The house is not
falling down. There are some rats in the
cellar and here and there is need of new
timber; but all necessary Improvements can
be made without changing the shape of
the building, or tinkering with the founda-
tons Mr.. Bryan should guess again. If he
refuses, there is no reason why the country
should, and little reason to believe that it
will. accept the guess he has made.

Sulzer Lends His Name.

Mr.. Sulzer relents, and consents to the
use of his name in connection with the
democratic nomination for governor OK New
York. But he will not lift finger in his
own behalf The party has fair notice of
that The attitude is little chilling these
selfish and strenuous days. and there seems
reason to fear that the living image OF
Henry Clay will not lead the democratic
hosts in New York this year. Still If he
does not get the nomination he can do
more. He can continue to deserve it. Mr..
Clay never reached the presidency, but fig
ures in our history as one who should have
done so. Thus will history repeat itself.
Mr. Sulzer will probably never reach AL

might have done SO IL half a dozen votes
had been sufficient to nominate and elect
