Horn Lona Imbedded in Tree.

A rams horn that was imbedded in a tree 1S3 years ago is a curiosity that Janson Elder, forester ranger living at Paisley, Ore, has discovered. While rambling in the woods in 1888 Elder came across a yellow pine tree in the base of which was imbedded the horn of g mountain sheep. He did not then have time to make a thorough investi- gation, but since he became a forest ranger he had occasion to go to cut down the tree. He took a section of the trunk containing the horn to Lake view. The horn was a little to one side the center of the tree. It was not curled as are the horns of noun. tain sheep nowadays, but vas almost straight. Counting the rings of growth, the tree was shown to be 213 years old Outside of the horn were 1S3 rings, indicating the number of years that had elapsed since the mountain sheep was caught and held fast by the yellow pine. The horn was soaked with pitch. It is ten inches in disme- ter at the base and 30 inches long.

PRECIOUS STONES AND "PAsTE'
limitations Now Can Only Be Detected
 by Experts.

Glass CT paste" as it is called, is made which cannot when new be dis tinguished from diamonds by any one but an expert armed with the neces- sary tests. And the same is true as to paste limitations of all precious stones excepting the emerald (whose beautiful green tint cannot be exact ly obtained), the cat's-eye, which has a peculiar fibrous structure, and the opal. The real value and quality of precious stones as compared with glass depends on their durability, their hardness, their resistance to scratch ing and "dulling" of face and edge. Even our Anglo-Saxon ancestors, as I saw a week ago in the fine collec- tion recently dug up at Ipswich by Miss Layard, made gems of glass and paste. says writer in the London Telegraph. It is only in mod ern times that the art of making ar tifcial precious stones" had reached degree of perfection which, so far as decorative purposes are concerned, leaves the natural stones no claim to superiority.

CONFERENCE IF GOVERNORS AT WASHINGTON MAY I3
Greatest Gathering of the Kind Ever Held Will Be That in the Historic, East Room of the White House With Presi-
 dent Roosevelt s the Chairman

Three consequences have ensued: First, unprecedented consumption Of i natural resources; second, exhaus- tion of these resources, to the ex- tent that a large part of our a,alI- able public lands have passed into great estates or corporate interests, our forests are so far depleted as ! to multiply the cost of forest prou- ucts, and our supplies of coal an 1 iron ore are so far reduced as uo r.- | nance prices; and third, 1nequalled opportunity for private monopoly, to | the extent that both the federal and state soyereignities have been com ! pelled to enact laws for the proteo- tion of the people"
 We are of opinion that the time has come for considering the policy of conserving these material resOurc- fes on which the permanent prosper ] ity of our country and the equai Ulf portunity of all our peoPls must de ! pend; we are also of opinion that i the policy Of conservation is so marked as advance on that pUnEs ' | adopted at the outset of our nation l al career as to demand the consId- eration of both federal and sta ! sponsors for the welfare of the peo- pie"
 ! All the sessions of the conference will be held in the East room of the ! White House, and for that reason the attendance will necessarily be limited. The seating capacity of the East Room is not over 800. The president himself will open the con ference at 10 o'clock of the morn ing of Wednesday, May 18th. IL Is also expected that he will preside also at the other sessions.
 ] There will be two sessions of the | conference each day-at 10 o'clock and at 2:3O in the afternoon. On the evening before the conference { assemblies, the president will give a l dinner to the governors, at which members of the cabinet, the supreme
 court of the United States and the Inland Waterways Commission will be present. A great public mass meeting on the same evening of the
 conference has been suggested, but
 it is hardly thought that this will be practicable. The sessions will con tinue three days-May 13, If and IS.
 The conference will be made up ot the governors and the Cree r6PTe
 sentatives the governor of each state has been asked to name; ne
 cabinet, the Inland Waterways Com
 mission, the congress, and the presl
 dents as the official representatives
 of some thirty or forty great marruA
 al organizations which are peculiarly iBeSested in the question Of the con servatiOn of natural resources.
 Just what the conference VIII Iedu to will rest with the conference it self. No attempt has been maue sC lay down any lines for it to follow
