GEM OF MUCH VALUE.
RARE BLUE TOPAZ FOUND IN
AFRICA.
Recent Announcement Causes Consid-
ers BILE Stir Among Experts
Numerous Varieties Of
the Stone.

London.-The public interest mani
Tested in the discovery in Rhodesia Of
what is believed to be a blue topaz
has revealed some confusion in regard
to this class of gem.
In addition to the true topaz, some
times called Brazilian" topaz, there
are the yellow variety Of sapphire,
sometimes called Oriental" topaz, a
most lustrous gem Of considerable
value, and the yellow and brown
quartz, known Is Scotch or "cairn-
germ" topaz, which is obtained in
large quantities, and is of little value.
The true topaz, however, resembles
these stones only in color. and can be
easily distinguished by difference Of
hardness and specific gravity. says

scramble among foreign born
citizens for naturalization papers.

Radical changes have been
wrought in the naturalization
laws of the United States and
those of the foreign born in this
country who have not already
become full fedged citizens will
find that they have a task of no
small magnitude on their hands
if they want to become subjects
Of our Uncle Sam.
In the first place they will be
required to be able to speak the
english language, and a clause
has been inserted in the law
which demands that applicants
for citizenship will have to- be
able to read and write. Moreover
the papers for citizenship will
not be issued in any courts of
record but those in which the
amount in controversy is unlim-

Lander and Wordsworth.

Walter Savage Lander was an In
temperate person in words and hated
Wordsworth. Were there ever more
contemptuous words than these Of Lam
dor in reference to Wordsworth? Pas
tiness and fatness are the qualities OF
a pancake and thus far he attained his
end. Let him place the accessories on
the table lest what is insipid and clam
nv grow into duller accretion And
moister viscidity the more l masticate
It." In Landor's letter to Ralph Waldo
Emerson he writes: 1--WE must now
descend to Wordsworth. He often gave
an opinion on authors which he never
had read, Plato for instance. He
speaks contemptuously Of the Scotch.
I praised line Of Scott's on the dog OF
a traveller lost in the snow Qf l remem-
cer) on Skiddaw. He said it was the
only good one in the poem and begap

own on the same subject"
