where Rubie. Are Found.

In Mogok they see everything in a
ruby light, men, women and children.
Every visitor must want to buy, they
think. However hungry or thirsty the
traveller may be on arrival, the first
thing he hears spoken of is rubies.
All Mogok seems to be fishing with
bamboo holsters, says w. G. Fitzgerald
in the Technical World And they are
fishing-for rubies, in the precious
"byon," that rivals in richness the
famous 'sblue ground" of Kimberley.
But no industry is more uncertain
than winning fine rubies in Burmah.
One tunnel was supposed by the local
engineers to contain $15,0OO,OOO worth,
vet it seemed to fzzle out suddenly.
The monopoly abandoned it, after
spending much time and money, and
then came along a few gentle, almond
eyed Shans and made an immense for
tune out of the derelict mine.
A very few fine rubies enormously
outvalue a great quantity OF rough
pale stones But when all is said ruby
mining Is slow and disappointing work
and rarely averages more than $4,000
for each acre treated. It is shrewdly
suspected by the white men in Mogok
that the richest mines Of all are at
this moment growing scratch crops of
poor grain belonging to fanatical ma
tives, who literally place "above
ruhies" as the Bible has 1t. the land
and manners of their fOrefathers.

British battleships are being provid-
ed with searchlights by the light Of
which newspaper can be read at 3
distance Of eighteen miles. They have
48-inch projectors.
The village of Sohrusan, in Bohemia,
which was found to be built on val
liable coal bed, has been bought for
100000 by a speculator and RACED to
the ground. The inhabitants, who num-
Der more than 1000, are rebuilding
their houses a mile away.
With the final closure Of the Colo
RADIO river, the great Salton sink, which
is inundated as the result of poorly
constructed headgate of an irrigation
canal and rapidly converted into an
inland sea, will gradually dry up. In
asmuch as there are practically no out
lets for this vast body of water, the
sink must naturally evaporate to dry
ness. According to one opinion the
Salton Sea will dry up in about eight
years.
The growing Importance of the metal
tantalum, owing to it's employment in
the preparation of flaments for incan-
descent lamps, gives interest to the re-
cent discoveries of minerals containing
tantalum in Wetsern Australia. AS
long ago as 1894 tantalum was found
at Bimberg, combined with niobium
and antimony. Later it was discovered
near the same place in combination
with iron. Quite recently combina-
ton of 70 per cent tantalum and 80
per cent manganese has been found at
sWodgina. 1t occurs in blocks weighing
as much as 80 pounds.
The German War Department has
taken much pains to select a color for
uniforms to be used in active service
which will prove as inconspicuous as
possible in the field. AS a means of
concealing operations in battle, in these
days of long-range guns, an invisible"
uniform for infantry ranks with smoke
less powder. The German experiments
have demonstrated that the color which
comes nearest to making soldiers in
visible in an ordinary landscape is
;gray-green Simple gray, on the con-
trary, makes very conspicuous uni
form amid the same surroundings. Ad-
;ditional tests are to be made to deter
mine the best color for winter wear,
and especially amid snow-covered land
scapes.
The delicate measurements demand
ed by modern scientific processes and
machines have led to the invention Of
many instruments Of precision that sur
prise the uninitiated by their capabili-
ties, which are often based on extreme
ly simple principles. among these Is
a little apparatus recently put upon
the market in France for determining
the thickness, or, one might say, lack
of thickness, of extremely thin plates,
wires and threads. The inventor likens
it's action to that Of lever in which
ray of light takes the place Of the beam.
Essentially the apparatus consists Of
two carefully ground plates in contact
with one another, the upper one being
attached to a movable arm. When an
object is placed between the edges of
the plates the upper plate is displaced
a little in level, and the effect of this
displacement is magnified by a reflected
ray of light which falls upon gradu-
ated scale Thus the most delicate
