lief was used by Christ and his apos-

I'm the Church Of st. Lawrence, at
Genoa. Italy. It's history goes much
further back than that event as II is
claimed that II was a present from the
Queen of Sheba TO King Solomon. It
has been in Genoa since 1101. where
It was brought by knight from the
Holy Land after the First Crusade.
For centuries IL was not touched. al
though many of the faithful wished
20 adorn it with precious stones. This
was due not only 10 piety but 10 a
fear on the part of citizens that
should II be broken, pilgrims would
cease to visit Genoa. II was thought
at one time that it was cut from an
enormous emerald. Napoleon took II
with him to Paris, persuaded OF Its
high intrinsic worth. Scientists con
firmed the suspicion that 1t was made
of glass, and Genoans got IL back at
pretty much their own figure.

The estimate that billion dollars
worth of manufactures will be export
I'd in tho current fiscal year, made by

TO be justified. The official figures
show for the nine months ending with
March $730.000,0OO worth Of manufac-
lures exported, these figures being
S74.O0O,00 In excess Of those for the
corresponding period of the preced-
ing year: and as the exports of manu-
features in the year ending June 80,
1911. were valued at s907,000,000. the

cate that the total for the current year
