Artificial sapphires.

NJ. Lacroix, member Of the
French Academy of Sciences, has just
read a paper before that learned
society on the manufacture OF sap
phires. He has discovered practi-
cally the composition of the precious
stone, and has succeeded in obtain
ing some specimens which almost re-
semble the real stone. 1t cannot be
said that M. Lacroix has yet discov-
cred the exact process, for those
which he has obtained would not i'm
pose upon skilled lapidary who sub
jected them to severe test.-Lon.

Darkness overshadowed Rocky Mount
and Rain, Snow and Hail Fell.

Rocky Mount, Special.-The most
peculiar storm in the history of this
section occurred Wednesday after
noon. Rain, hail and snow fell and
dark clouds overshadowed the city at
2 O'Clock. Lamps had to be lighted
in many instances while places of
business were forced to cease on ac-
count of darkness. Passenger trains
Nos. 4S and SO were operated into the
city with headlights and all cars
lighted as at night. For the sour OF
day with the exception Of eclipses it
was the darkest time ever recalled by
the oldest citizens. All forms of
lower animal life prepared for night
and chickens went to roost.

Wy aSl1nSlCn, Opeclal.-NOW Cnat
billion-dollar sessions Of Congress
are the rule, little other than APP
preparation legislation can be enact
ed during the short sessions, and the
one ending this week is no exception.
The appropriations for the session
probably will be the largest on re-
cord, exceeding the $1,OOS,OO0.0O0 of
the first session. AS only one Of the
fifteen general appropriation bills of
this session has been sent to the
President for his signature, an ac-
curate stateme...s of the amount to be
appropriated is impossible.
Scarcely any Of the general poll
cies Of the country were touched up
on this session.
The Roosevelt Row.
The discussion in both houses Of
the secret service and of the Panama
canal and in the Senate of the
Brownsville affair and of the Ten
nessee Coal and Iron Company pur-
chase has brought the administration
of Theodore Roosevelt prominently
in view. The veto of the census bill,
because the employees for the taking
Of the next census were not to be
placed under civil'service regulations,
was another interesting chapter of
the session. The veto of several dam
bills, because they did not recognize
the principles advanced for the con-
servation of water powers, attracted
much attention.
An appropriation Of 100000 for
the relief Of Italian earthquake suf-
ferers was made at the beginning of
the session.
The passage of law for the sup
preston of the opium habit in this
country, it is hoped, will exert wide

tries in the arid region of the West.
Penal Code Revision.
1t practically is assured that the
monumental work of revising and
codifying the penal code laws of the
United States will be completed at
this session An agreement has been
reached by the conferees Of the two
bodies. As a result Of this legis-
lation, the United States government
will, through a "rider," enter the
field Of regulating the interstate ship

D0INGS OF CONGRESS
Summary Of Important Proceedings
Enacted From Day to Dag.

6Aatteu Aom Lay W Ley.
The sundry civil appropriation bill
passed by the Senate just be-
fore adjournment Monday with
amendments carrying $4,000 for re-
modelling the White House Office
building to give additional room for
the President, and $4,000 for trav-.
cling expenses for the President.
On motion of Mr.. Foraker an
amendment appropriating $4,000 to
pay the Roman Catholic Church in
Rico was adopted.
The authorization for the issuance
of $3O,oOO,OOO Of Panama canal
bonds in addition to former authori-
cations was stricken from the bill
on protest Of Senator Clay, who crit
icised the excessive cost of the canal.
The bill which was approved by
the committee on appropriations
Monday morning carries appropria-
tons Of about $139,0O0,000 and Gov
ers wide variety of subjects.
The forestry bill that passed the
House Monday afternoon, will die,
it is said, in the Senate. Congress
is playing with this proposition on
purpose. The Senate passes bill
and the House kills it, and vice versa.
There is very little if any hope of the
present measure becoming law.
Hackett~ and Ktchin voted against
the bill, which does not in any way
mention the Appalachian Park.
Messrs. Webb and Thomas, spoke for
it. The bill provides that the Sec
retary of Agriculture may cooperate
with the States in the organization
and maintenance Of a system of fire
protection on any private or State
forest land situated upon the water
shed of navigable stream and fur
ther that he may administer and pro-
tect for a term of years any such
lands. One million dollars is appro-
priated for the fiscal year ending
June 30th, and each year thereafter
until 1919, a sum not to exceed two
million dollars, for acquiring lands
located on the head waters of navi-
gable streams, or those which are, OF
may be developed for navigable pur-
poses.
