Lightning did some queer stunts here

The hawk WAS found under the tree

Stone farm were inspecting the work of
the storm. The bird was barely alive
and stripped of all but the one feather
presented a sorry appearance. 1t was

Production of Precious Stones.

The total value of the precious stones
produced IN the United States during
1907 is placed by the geological sur
Ney at SAL. 200. as compared with SOS
900 IN 1906. This great increase is due
chiefly to a very large output of sap
phlre In Montana. of both the blue and
the NarieSated variety. The total pro-
duction of sapphire in the United States
Tor 1900 is estimated at $229.S00. Tour
mainc is second in Importance, and is
placed at $S4,120. Among other inn
portant gems produced We're chryso-
praise, to the value of $4,000; califor-
mite, S25,000; turquoise. $23, $40; spool
umene gems (kunZita and hiddcnitc),
$14.500; varicit'-, utahlitc, and anna
trice $500; rose quartz, beryl and
acquamarine and garnet, each over

high retroactive index. 1t is found In
san Benito county, California. The
reopcning of the emerald hiddcnitc
mine i'm Alexander county, North Caro-
lima, during 1907 is of interest. since
the supply of hiddcnitc for jewclry has
become very low.
1t is difficult to obtain figures that
adequately represent the value of the
production of precious stones, 1t is
the aim OF the geological survey to
give statistics that show the value of
the output in the rough state. This is
often impossible since it cannot be
known what Il certain lot of mineral
will yield when selected and cut.
Some Of the figures furnished are evil

more than the cost of mining.

 Yusovo, Russia, July 10.-An inquest into the fatal coal mine explosion of last week has revealed terrible picture of the archaic methods of min ing in vogue in Russia and the utter absence of inspection.
 It has been a matter of common knowledge for years that the Rittovsky mine was dangerous. The workmen named it .''The Inferno," because of the prevalence of stifing gas in the workings and they would only consent to go down at double wages.
 The explosion itself was not of great force, and a majority of the three hundred men who lost their lives were burned to death or suffo- cated by after damp. IL would have been possible to save all but a dozen of the men below If prompt measures had been taken. as fully one hour elapsed after the explosion before the flames broke out.
 During this hour the rescuing par ties waited with folded hands for inc formation as to how and where they were to descend.
