NEW SAPPHIRE NOT GENUINE
French Scientist Discovers Solution Of
Problem That Has Baffled
Many Heretofore.

News comes from Paris that at last
artificial sapphires have been pro-
duced, after many unsuccessful expert
ments.
Artificial rubies are now an old
story. The artificial stones have all
the properties, chemical, physical and
optical, of the natural gems. The only
way in which experts can detect them
is by finding them too perfect, as the
natural gems have microscopic irregu-
larities and inclosed imperfections
that are abs mt from the artificial
product.
The stumbling block in the making
of sapphires has been the color. Eth
er the experimenters could not pro-
duce desired blue, or the stone would
have a crystalline structure that made
its detection easy.
Now, however, NJ. Verneuil has sub
mitted to the academy of sciences
stones which he has made, colored
with oxide Of titanium, which, after
a severe examination, are pronounced
identical with true sapphires, though
it is just possible that cutting them
in gem form may reveal some irregu-
larity of reflection or refraction.

Extraordinarily Close Call.

One of the most extraordinarily
close calls that an engineer ever had
occurred on western railroad last
year, says writer in an exchange.
"A heavily-loaded 'f1ier' was sailing
along one night at between sixty and
seventy miles an hour, approaching a
broad river that was spanned by q
drawbridge, which was sometimes
open and sometimes closed. The train
was supposed to come to halt and
the engineer to find out. If all was
we'll he would sound the whistle and
proceed slowly. On this night, how
ever, the long train rushed on the
bridge with undiminished speed For
tunately, the draw had just been
closed and nothing happened.
THE engineers failure to stop at
the bridge was the first intimation
that the fireman had of anything
wrong. He ran around to the engineers
side of the cab, shut OF steam, and ap-
piled the brakes. He found the en-
gineer fallen forward, senseless, with
an ugly cash in his head. Beside him
lay the stone which had inflicted the
wound 1t was afterwards established
beyond question that in some mex
plicable way this stone had been
picked up by the engine itself while
moving at it's great speed and hurled
into the cab. II the draw had not
been closed that night when the 'fier'
rushed across the bridge there would
have been another accident which
would have added to the story of rail-
reading a mystery almost as deep as
any connected with the navigation of
the sea-"
Such things as these make the en-
gineers fatalists. According to the
writer, all of them believe that they
will die when their time comes, and
there isn't much use Of worrying about
it.

GETTING OUT IN THE WORLD
High Record Exports Of Manufactures

Exports of manufactures from the
United States In the calendar year

S800,0eO,000 in value. The September
export figures seem to fully justify the
prediction that the years exports of
manufactures will cross this line and
surpass those of any earlier year. For
the single month of September the ex-
ports of manufactures aggregated $780,
100000 and for the nine months end

average of $6S,000000 a month for
that portion of the year for which fig
nres are now available.

MOTOR CAR USED IN 1861
Elijah Ware Raced Machine Against
Fast Horses Nearly Fifty Years
Ago-Was Success

1T is generally understood that the
era of the motor car dates from 1870.
but it has recently been found" said
Jesse W. Perkins of Portland, Me-, to
Washington Post reporter, that
Elijah Ware, once wellknown rail-
road construction engineer in Boston
and vicinity, invented a very success
full machine in 1861.
Its success may be judged from the
fact that Mr.. Ware was in the habit of
racing his car with fast trotting horses
on the old plank road at Bayonne. N.
j., and was able to go over fields, up
hill and down dale. He was always
thinking of some mechanical schemes
but could not order his groceries with:
out being cheated or imposed upon.
The house is still standing where he
built his auto. The machines: appear
ance, when completed, resembled a
modern fire engine more than an auto
mobile. Wood was used for fuel, and a
small iron boiler generated steam for
the oscillating engines. With the steel
and grass machinery and gayly paint
ed woodwork it must have had quite
dashing appearance.
When Mr.. Ware completed and
first tried his engine crowd collected
to see the first run. AS a whole the
people looked unfavorably at Elijah's
achievement, and some went SO far as
to have it denounced by police authori.
ties as public nuisance, because
they thought it would brighten the
horses But 1t seems that the people
who tried to help him were the most
annoying. When one man asked If
there was anything for him to do Mr..
Ware replied. The trouble is there
are too many trying to help Mr..
Ware ran his machine very slowly in
the streets, and those who saw him
say that his steam carriage made less
noise than the modern automobile. On
the roads he went like the wind, &C
cording to witnesses in the country.
The people under stovepipe hats and
poke bonnets must have been sur
prised when the glittering engine
came whizzing along the peaceful
roads, without rails, kicking up dust
and vomiting smoke wherever it
went"

sible that he has already glimpsed
something of the punishment that is
to be his, SO long as breath and rea-
son remain within his body.
Is the Judge Right?
Was Judge Kavanaugh right? Is
1t true that life Imprisonment is a
more terrible punishment than the
extinction of the criminal? Do men
die hundred deaths where their vic
Tins died but one? His pronounce
ment is new, SO far as the bench is
concerned. 1t has been debated, how
ever, for generations by philosophers
and students. Cold reason tells the
human mind that death would be
preferable to life lived In the mar
row confines of steel cages and stony
corridors, but every criminal vel
comes the alternative of imprison-
ment all his days when actually con-
fronted by the gallows or the electric
chair. Judge Kavanaugh's speech to
the condemned man serves to awaken
interest In that last and greatest of
the powers of the state, the right to
take human life.
In all civilized countries In the
world, with one exception, the death
penalty Is exacted of the murderer
and the traitor. Italy Ia the single
exception, but there Is rarely an at
tempt to secure the Communication OF
murders sentence in that country.
When he Is finally sentenced, 1t is
the end, for there Is no hope of par
don except in the most undoubted
cases OF innocence, and thus far the
prison gates Of that country have
never swung open TO release a muir
derer. In America there Is always
hope SO long as there ia life. ).
