Only Challenge
Cup Never Won

THERE exists in the world today but
a single challenge cup that has
never been Won by any aspirant
for athletic honors-that is the famous
Alexander cup. of solid silver, standing
three feet high on It's solid silver pedes-
tai and worth about $1,JOO This cup
will be given TO the man who swims
across the English channel. from the
shore of England to the coast of France.
The feat was performed once by Capt.
Webb. in 1878. in twenty-one hours and
forty-five minutes. but never has 1t been
repeated. although several persons have
come within as little as three-quarters OF
a mile of repeating Webbs marvellous
feat.
Some forty attempts in all have been
made to swim the channel since Webb
succeeded Cavill, in 1877. and Dalton,
an American. In 1880, claimed to have
succeeded. but neither claim was al
lowed.
Webb is said to have swum the chan
mel and is usually credited with the per-
formance. but this was before the Alex
ander cup was offered for competition. So
this superb trophy has never been award
ed to any one. Wolfe. who made the
within three-quarters of mile of the
French shore, has made six attempts.
Two of them he made i'm 1908.
Recent attempts to swim the channel
have brought out theory that ii cannot
be done by, starting from England. but
would be easier from the French to the
English side of the channel Still, Webb
is said to have started from British
ground. There is a terrific ground tow
and tide set off away from the French
shore. which has always killed off the

Ruby Most Valuable
of All JeWeIry
M :

X TOST precious of all gems in the
M world is the ruby-rot the dia-
@'1 mond: and of rubies the most
valuable are the rare pigeon hood rubi. =
sort of red-purple that sparkles and
glitters in truly marve.ous fashion
The arcients treasured rubles far above
diamonds, as is shown in the references
TO this jewel in the Bible. OF IL Pbilos-
tratus, an ancient Greek author. tells us
that the first ruby was presented TO
mankind by a stock. These birds are re-
lated by the ancIents TO always place a
ruby in their nests as a charm against
serpents. Aeolean. in his ancient Greek
treatise on animals. relates the same
story OF the stork and The ruby
There are two sCrts Of recognized RI
bies-the oriental true ruby and the
spinel ruby. The former is the red va
rlety or that scarce mineral corundum
The Spinel ruby is ctmposed OF aluni-
nate of magnesia.
Rubies vary from pallid rose red and
deep red TO cochineai and finally pass
into the class OF the purple-red or mig
cons blood. The greatest OF the real ru-
beS have come from Burma and fro.,,
India, and have been found in only very
CONSTRUCTED sections OF ttee two Asiatt,.
countries. An occasional spinei ruby has
been found in Europe and the United
States, and several fine stones have heen
obtained from South America.
Bat ruby mines such as the diamond
mines of South Africa have never been
located. and tie real rubcs a~e found f-w
and tar between. The stores were con.
s:dered To have the magic power OF turn
ing pale when brought near poison. and
:.ncient monarchs and tyrants priced
them for this supposed virtue.
The most historic ruby is probably thar
in the center of the great diamond cross
in the state crown of King Edward VII
of England. 1t was given to Edward
the Black Prince by III cruel u 1m p ir,

an army into tie peninsula TO regain the

the ;alented lad left the Cooper Institute
TO take up life work at the National
Academy of Design.
Soon the young man was not only self
supporting. thanks to his skill In cameo
cutting. but easily excelled all his fellow
students at the art school. Just here it
might be mentioned that Saint Gaudens'
canoes were as remarkable in their way
as were his later achievements in marble
and bronze. This was eloquently atteSted
by the specimens shown in the memorial
exhibitions of the work of Saint Gaudens
recently held in New York and Chicago.
The years that Saint GaudenS was a stu
dent at Cooper Institute and the National
Academy of Design marked the span of
the civil war; and the boy. just at an
age to be mentally sensitive to the dra-
matte events of the period. was deeply
impressed by the spectacle of troops de-
parting for the front. and a glimpse of
the immortal Lincoln in the streets of
New York-vvid mind pictures i'm which
may be found something of the ground
ingS of that inspiration which later pro-
duced those matchless figures of Lincoln,
Farragut, Sherman and Logan.
A couple of years after the close of the
war Saint Gaudens' life in New York
came to an end for time He went
abroad to study. working his way. as 1t
were by cutting canoes. and for fourteen
years, or from the time he was eighteen
years of age until he was thirty-two he
was almost continuously hard at work in
the art centers of Europe. He went at
first to Paris and there. thanks to his
fondness for two boon COMPANIONS. he
came near enlisting in the French army
when the Franco Russian war broke out.
However. letter from his Irish mother,
who seems for once to have been devoid
of a traditional trait of her race deferred

years he Waged a continual fight with
poverty in the effort to complete his train
