Artificial Sapphires.

An interesting communication has been
submitted to the Acamedy of Sciences
regarding the recent discovery of NJ.
Paris. young chemist, who has sue
ceeded in making artificial sapphires.
Hitherto efforts in this direction have
failed, for. while able to produce rubies,
no chemist has been able to obtain the
real blue of the sapphire.
NJ. Paris, who has been carrying out
his experiments in the laboratory of the
Pasteur institute, has at last overcome
the color difficulty. To the molten mass
of ingredients in the crucible he added
oxide of cobalt, calx and magnesia, and
the effect was to give to the artificially
manufactured stones the intense blue of
the true sapphire.
1t is very difficult to detect the arti-
fetal sapphire from the real stone

A solicitor of the Department of Agri-
culture states in the New York Journal
of Commerce that because the national
meat inspection law covers only meat
which is produced in one state and
shipped into another state or territory
or to a foreign country, most of the meat
consumed within a state from animals
slaughtered therein has not been in
spected by federal officials. He then
adds significantly that lack of space
forbids a recital of the terrible condi-
tions which prevail in meat inspection
under state laws" This remark ought
to receive attention at the hands of state
legislators, because outside of the large
cities which maintain effective health
departments there is room for the mar
keting Of meats that are as unfit for
home consumption as they are for inter
state commerce,

something short of that of 1907, which
amounted to 1,032, 516,247 pounds, but

The British new-type torpedo boat de

the Navy League Journal a writer de-
clares that it will be a shameful sacrifice
of efficiency to economy TO lay down such
vessels as these, and that to build any
destroyers of less speed than that of the
latest armored cruisers would be an act
of lunacy. Great nations that lay back

1t was to be expected that Congress
would not be sufficiently dull to welcome
without reserve the Presidents message
on the secret service law together with
the implications with which the message
bristled from prologue to peroration. 1t
is unfortunate that the presentation of
the proposition that the secret service be-
taken away from the Treasury Depart
ment and placed under The jurisdiction
of the Department OF Justice was not
made by the executive in spirit of amity
which wauld have brought the matter be-
fore the national Legislature on its merits.
There has been so much unnecessary ag
gressiveness in the administration now
drawing to a close that many who have
the utmost respect for some of the things
it has done will be completely reconciled
to its termination on the 4th of March,
and will feel that its head can
devote himself to the pursuit of wild
beasts in Africa without fear that his
country will suffer while he is away.

LAWS SHOULD BE
MORE STRINGENT

Washington, Dec. 12.-The report of
Secretary Nagel of the department of
commerce and labor, made public to-
day, recommends the development of
the bureau of corporations into an
agency to protect the business Sc
crets of the corporations, and TO ma
tionalize the corporate life of the
country.
The need Of property safeguarding
business secrets is recognized and
would be provided for The secretary
declares that the commerce and finan-
ial life of the nation has become
nationalized and suggests that it is
now in order TO nationalize its cor
porate life.
Another important recommendation
made by the secretary Is for broader
laws TO stamp out the white slave
traffic While the present statutes
prohibit the importation of women for
immoral purposes. there Is no law
against transporting them from one
state TO another. The secretary says
it must be realized that the white
slave trade is an organized business.
and that tighter laws are needed to
enable federal authorities to fight 1t
successfully.

gloves His illustrations and figures
were taken from most eminent au-

young men and young women growing
out of the modern dance.
The audience listened with close at.
tention and seemed greatly Impress

forceful arraignment of this modern
evil
Rev Zimmerman stated that it was

and TO the young people. of an evil
