ers of 81 pints each, large hot

The laboratory of Nature is still
more efficient than the electric turn
ace in the making of gems. The
artificial sapphires and rubies made
in Paris have the composition of the
natural stones except in the small
amount of material added for color
ing, but their differences seem to he
considerable. The artificial sapphires
are softer than the real, lighter in
weight, and they refract the light
much less brilliantly. As a source of
blue coloring, chrome was tried
unsuccessfully, and the process act
ually employed is secret Of the sap
phire makers. The red of the arti
fetal rubies is given by cobalt.
Volcanic steam as a source of me-
chanical energy is the novel scheme
of Signor Ginori- Cont, an Italian
engineer. Steam vents in Tuscany
have been under observation for IF
teen years. and have shown discharges
of great regularity, ensuring a con-
slant and considerable supply of
highly heated water vapor to anybody
enterprising enough to use it. A
serious difficulty is the corrosive
acids with which natural steam is
charged.

NURSE TELLS IF BABY'S SUFFERING
Raw with Eczema from Birth-Fear- full Itching Lasted for Months Treatment F4tiIe-Walked the Floor with Him Night and Day Wasted Away and Got Little Rest.
PERMANENTLY CURED
 BY CUTICURA REMEDIES

"The first time went out as a nurse was when O baby boy was born. He was perfectly raw all over with hurnor. The doctor gave us sone ointment to use, but he got no better. The baby seemed to be suffering terribly, and at times I had to walk the floor with him night and day, sending for my husband to carry him whom l could not. His poor little head became covered with crusts and the doctor decided it was eczema. The fearful itching went on for months, and the little fellow was wasted to a skeleton and could get d. most no rest. At last decided ko try the Cutioura Remedies. bathing mEn with CutiC0ra Soap. using just aa little water as possible; then ] applied the Cuticura Ointment, and gave him small doses of Cuticur& ResolVent. This TO- ieved him almost at once and in Q comparatively short time the baby was quite well. Now, thirteen yeexs after, he is a fine boy, in the High School, and he has never had any return Sog tho disease. I have since known of mum Der of cases of ec8enna which have been cured by Cuticura, but nQne, perhaps. as severe as this one. l have always recommended Cuticura most highly for skin troubles, and shall continue to do 60.

 NO. 912 :. HULL STREET

 Mir. Doster and family had gone to bed. Suddenly he was awakened by smelling smoke and immediately went Into the dining room. Ioked out the window, where he saw the north side of his house in a mass of flames and then telephoned to the fire department. When the fremen arrived tho house was covered with flames, and the only thing for the fremen to do was 10 save the adjoining property. The ad- joining property belonged to Mrs. F. W. Boutwell, and was In much danger at the time of the fire as when the fire department arrived her properly was nblaze having caught fire from Mir Doster's house, and the fremen Immediately threw water on her house saving 1t from ruin.

TRANSPORTING
TREMENDOUS BUSINESS Fos THE
 RAILROADS.
Avelnnehe of wisdom Poured Into Ears of RfngIing Army By Soliciting Passenger Agenfs Who Are
 Wise.

Not very many people knew any thing of it. but just the same Mont gomery was the battle ground of one of the most furious oratorical contests Friday that has been waged in modern times
 The great big sluices of people that Journeyed to Montgomery unfortunate ly missed the biggest part of the show where bunch of hungry (and thirsty) trafiac men were talking the lungs out of the employers and employees of the Ringing circus. The show Is to break up next week down in Macon. Mss, and this thirsty band of rail- road men had swooped down on the defenceless heads of the circus people in Montgomery. The circus people when the show goes into winter quart CTS will scatter to the four quarters of the country. and every one of them Friday received a very lucid demon- stration as to why the route was the only feasible one for his or her line Of business.
 In our midst Friday were Messrs Chase of the C. and A., with head quarters In Birmingham: Smith of the Big Four with headquarters in Atian- ta; Harvie B. Jones, -Jr., of the Mobile and Ohio with headquarters In Meri- dian. Miss. Joe Billups, General Pas senger Agent of the West Point Route and Frank Thompson of the same line. They were unable to transact all of the business Friday night the bunch left for Selma in Mir. Billup's private car and today they will continue the good work of pouring words of wis dom into the circus people.
 When the Western brought in the special from Opelika Friday morning it was possibly the biggest excursion crowd that has been run into Mont gomery since Division Passenger Agent Lifsey of the old Plant System brought that famous crowd from Thomasville, Ga, several years ago. The Western crowd was something over HOO in eight coaches and a bag gage car They were literally packed. in the coaches the baggage car being as crowded as the coaches the pre- va1ence of dress suit cases and grips of every description being feature
 When the special left at II o'clock Friday night four extra coaches had to be added. making a train of thir- teen cars, twelve coaches and a bag gage car. Two extra coaches were put on train 36 that left for Atlanta at 6.40. p. m., these coaches being for the benefit of tbe Tallassee and Tuskegee people.
 The Western carried the big show to Selma In three long trains Friday night, and 1t was the biggest circus business that the road ever handled.

JACK FROST GOT IN ITS FIRST GOOD STING FRIDAY
brr-f-f-f. Fair and frost.


 The alliteration Is pleasing. now. isn't it. But how does the prospect that 1t holds out strike you? Frost, a real white. floary frost. There's one this morning, and there was one Fri day morning, and there's liable to be one for some scores of mornings to come. For winter Is here. and is get ting in the first grip in It's struggle hold on the Sunny South.
 The frost of Friday morning was the first of the season for this irn- mediate section. There had been frost and frost prophesied, but after each prognostication. the weather man had slipped up, and 1t had invariably rained or was cloudy. and the frost was not forthcoming. But now 1t is here, and in right time. There is nothing in the way of vegetation for 1t to harm and everybody has had plen- ty of time in which to lay up winter coal But still the promise of cold weather. embodied in frost is not the most pleasing prospect in the world
