To Work Sapphire Mines.

Preparations are being made to work
the famous sapphire mines at Yogo
Gluch very extensively, and 1t Is ex-
pected that this will soon prove to be
the greatest gem mine in the world.
The Yogo dixie, which is in Montana,
is four miles long and II is estimated
that the workable rock win approx
mate 100000 cubic yards. While the
stones found here are comparatively
small, they are unusually brilliant,
without flaws and of beautiful tints.
Their shape Is generally Of such a
character that the culls, or small ones,
are well suited for bearings of watches,
and for this purpose they need very
little cutting. improvements and ex-
tensions of the plant at this point are
now under way and will increase the
amount of the output by four.

Experiments made in deep mines to
prove that the heat of the rocks does
not preclude mining operations at even
4,000s feet, because IL the recognized
formula was accepted we would have
a temperature Of 1875 degrees, Fahren-
heit, at $500 feet, demonstrated that
such temperature is not reached
The assertion sometimes made that
mining might extend to as great u
depth as 10000 feet IL haulage could
be accomplished is untenable. The diff
flculties would not be haulage, but "a
that of breathing under the enormous
atmospheric pressure: and (2) increase
Of temperature. Al mass of air IN a
downcast shaft OF so degrees, Fahren-
heit, at the surface, at a depth of TO-
600 feet, would attain temperature OF
80 degrees by its own weight. Health

. Surgery for Trees Is Latest Move.

The successful treatment of trees by
surgery is the subject Of report made
recently by botanist named Eber-
hardt to the academy of sciences. in
Paris, says The New York sun. nj
Eberhardt has Dracticed it, he saws.
with entire success in Indo-C China. He
has performed operations on tea plants,
mulberry trees, orange trees and other
tropical plants.
Experiments in cold climates have
not met with success so far. but it IS
believed the system can be used with
advantage In the southern regions of
Europe. The operations are not ampu-
tations, neither are they mere subcu-
taneous injections, such as have been
made successfully in Europe for the
cure of some parasitic diseases of
plants. They are surgical in the strict
ly modern sense.
The method is adapted when the
trees are attacked by insects which
penetrate the bark and deposit their
eggs in the wood The long-horned
beetle is a serious plague in Indo-
China
The larvae hollow out galleries in the
tissue of the trunk and branches; these
interrupt the circulation of the sap,
and the tree speedily withers and dies.
Eberhardts method consists ofyopen-.
ing up the gallery with scalpel, re-.
moving the larvae with a forceps or
curetting instrument and then flush
ing out the cavity with an antiseptic
fluid, consisting OF forty parts OF gly-
Germ, ITO parts of formalin and $50
parts water. Three or four washings
