FRANK |. GREENE
WAS ELECTED TO y
CONGRESS
st. Adams Newspaper Man Will
Represent First District
SPECIAL ELECTION TUESDAY
Republican Candidate Received Plu
raIlty OF More Than 5000 over
John Spargo, Socialist.

Frank l.. Greene of st. Adams, Re
publican nominee for Congress to fill
the vacancy caused by the death OF
the late Representative David j. Eos
ter of Burlington, was elected yester
day at the special election in the
First Congressional district, called by
Gov. John A. Mead. His opponent
was John Spargo OF Bennington. run
Greene's victory at he polls was a
sweeping one and might DE charac-
terized as triumphant were it not for
the paucity of the vote Not counting
the scattering votes, the total number
of citizens who exercised their right
of suffrage was only 1898 OF this
number the successful candidate re-
ceived 3475, leading his opponent by
3027.
There are three probable explana-
tons for the smallness of the entire
vote. The election lacked the slim
ulusit would have received from the
presence OF a Democratic candidate
in the field; Greene's victory was so
apparently foregone conclusion, ne
cause of this lack, that many who
would have rallied to his support 9th.
ecwise, felt safe in remaining away
from the polls; and the call OF the
haytields was more pressing in many
localities than was the behest of DO
liucal duty If there is any cause
Tor surprise it is TO be found in the
lightness of the vote cast in the cities
OF Rutland and Burlington.

AMERICAN GEM OUTPUT.
cious Stones Mined in 1911 to Value of $34S,692.

American mines in 1911 yielded 3D. 700 worth of diamonds, $9, 800 worth of emeralds, $215, ,313 worth of sapphires, and s44,751 worth of turquoise, accord ing to figures just compiled by the United States Geological Survey. The total output of precious stones in the United Stats last year was valued at s343, ,692; the production in 1910 was valued at s295, ,320.
 An important feature of the gem mining industry in the United States during 1911 was the result of pros pecting at the Turner emerald mine near Shelby, N, C.. The quality of some of the gems and the value of the gem material found in this deposit with a small amount of development cluded gems valued at $100 to $200 per carat and equal in quality to the av- craze run of the emeralds from South America During the last three years this one locality in North Carolina has yielded gems worth $10,500.
 Much interest has lately been arous- ed in the moss agates found in Mon for their resemblance to landscapes. Py taking advantage of the arrange rnent of the dark seams and dendritic patches, patterns are obtained that re- semble moss, sea growth, ferns, rush. .es trees, and. landscapes with water
 
 of stones suitable for use in brooches, stick pins, watch fobs, belt buckles, md other ornaments. The gems cut rom the Montana moss agate or mo- rha stone command good prices, bringing anywhere from $1 to $200 or s3OO apiece. Some of the smaller stones suitable for stick pins, if the messy Or fernlike patterns are partic- ularly delicate and beautiful, bring k25 each.
 Most of American diamonds come from Arkansas and California al- though accounts have appeared in newspapers of the discovery of these gems in Illinois and Texas. The most important find of the year in Arkan- sas was an 1-S carat white diamond --the largest diamond so far found in he State Another white diamond, n 44-e4 carats, was also found.

done among tourists along the coast of California and Oregon, the beach pebbles having peculiar textures, odd markings, and pleasing colors. Some of these stones have been described in terms suggested by characteristic features such as ''enychthyol," flow CT stone," ''wire agate, fish egg" and
 Japanese stone" One company in Avalon, Cal, has been engaged in cut

The largest emerald so far discov- cred in North Carolina measured about inch by 3-4 of an inch by half an inch It was about half of crystal split parallel with the length. This piece has been cut into about 20 gems, the largest of which weighs about 3 carats This stone has been describ- ed as having an excellent deep green color and as being particularly beau- tifu1 at night It has almost no vis- ible flaws but is slightly foggy in strong daylight.

while it will have a considerably longer range. The muzzle velocity likewise will be considerably great CT, together with a .flatter trajectory. The rifle is to be some three and half inches longer than the short rifle now in use, and since the bayonet is not to be shortened, this is claimed to be decided advantage to the troops when it comes to fighting at close quarters.
 The breech action of the rifle now issued has always been under some suspicion and is regarded as weaker

NEW BRITISH RIFLE.
A More Powerful Weapon Than That
 Now In Use.

Some authentic details regarding the new rife which is shortly to be issued to the British regular troops are now available. Its calibre will be somewhat smaller than that of the present weapon, being ,273 as against 1903. It will, however, have much stronger breech action, and this will enable a heavier charge to be fired,

It iS intend ed that in the first place this fife shall be issued to the British troops in India, and then will come the turn of the troops at home and .n South Africa, while ultimately the In- There is no intention at the mos ment of issuing it to the territorial force.
