worlds most ornamental and profitable
rivers, and tourists who have wasted
years in examining the Rhine and Dan

streams after they have once seen the
Columbia.
The Columbia is composed of excel

athletic and informal to be used for nav
cation purposes. After it has tumbled
down out of Canada, however, it becomes
broad and deep, and can be nayigated

luton.
The Columbia rambles through the
state of Washington in an undecided
manner. like a tourist in an art gallery.
and then serves as a boundary between
Washington and Oregon with much sue

which strikes even the case-hardened
traveller with awe. 1t flows between
banks which are a mile high in places
and are prOfuselv decorated with water
falls, cliffs, preclplces. chasms, CLOUDS
and snow banks. Nothing finer can be
found in the world, but many travellers

reading the train boys library.
The Columbia Is even more ornamental

strongly impregnated with salmon. but

Berry. the famous English hangman,
had an extraordinary career. He work

before joining the police force. He
knew his predecessors. Marwood and

that Berry was chosen as hangman by
the sheriffs 0f London through an an

Ing q man he knew to be innocent.
Would you hang that gentleman over
there?" he was asked. After looking
at the councillor. venerable. gray
bearded figure. Berry is alleged to
have replied: II would hang the lot of
you. The crime would not be mine,
but the laws"
And yet Berry finally gave up his
office as hangman because the execu-
ton by him of two innocent persons
got on his nerves.
The first case was that of farm lad,
aged about eighteen. accused of shoot
ing a policeman. The boy protested
his innocence to Berry up to the last
moment, but was duly executed. Some
time after this Berry hanged the Meth
erby hall murderers. one of whom Just
before he died told Berry that it was
he who had shot the policeman for
which crime the boy had been exc
cuted.
The second case was that of Mary
Lefley Of Lincolnshire. who was ac
cused Of poisoning her husband with
arsenic. She. too. protested her limo
cence. but was hanged. Some years
later farmer dying of cancer con-
fessed the crime. He said he had had
quarrel with John Leffiey. and when
both John and Mary We're out he had
entered their cottage and put arsenic
In milk pudding which had been pre-
pared for John Leftley's dinner.
1t was on account of these two grave
miscarriages of justice that Berry ul-
timately turned evangelist. He was
persuaded to so to mission meeting
at Bradford and there announced his

GEMS IN A VACUUM.

They Take on an Added BriIIiance and
Fairly Glow.
The jewelers. Of ancient Egypt knew
more than modern craftsmen about
treating gems SO that they would
shine and sparkle. Such gems as the
emerald, garnet and jacinth were live
Her and more luminous in the days OF
the Ptolemies than they can be made
today. 1t is known that the diamond.
ruby. emerald and kunzite become
more phosphorescent or fuorescent un-
der certain circumstances.
Gems exhibit the liveliest phosphor-
essence in vacuum tubes. Even in
rarefied air some diamonds give out a
blue light. which is not present in
denser atmosphere. In q vacuum a
diamond Of four or five karats gives
as much light as candle. The color
of the light differs not only with the
origin Of the diamond. but with the
facets Of the same diamond. Maske-
lyme made collection of diamonds
which glowed in vacuum with nearly
all the colors Of the spectrum. An un-
cut stone which was roughly cube
shape. with truncated corners and
edges. emitted orange yellow light
from the faces Of the cube. pale yellow
from the corners. and lemon yellow
from the fat edges.
Next to the diamond stands the ruby
as highly phosphoresccnt in vacuum.
The ruby emits beautiful red light.
as though it were incandescent Kun
ute shines with golden yellow or
yellow tinged with rose. The emerald
shines with a crimson light. The
same gems become phosphorescent un-
der the influence Of radium. The ultra
violet rays also produce luminosity in
gems.
1t is well known that rubies from
the mines of Burma are more valuable
than those from neighboring Siam. Ex-
ternally they look much alike. but un-
der the ultraviolet rays the Burmese
stones which are called oriental rubies
glow like red embers. while the Siamese
rubies look almost black.-lndependent

NOT 4 GOOD JAILER.
Still, the eurman Sentry Was Some.
what In q Quandary.

oeIsI, tne ourman sentry was Some.
what In a Quandary.
The warders in Burmese jails are
nearly always men from the Punjab
and northern India. They are large
and muscular, but the principal reason
for selecting them is that they are not
Buddhists. The Burman is sometimes
employed as a warder. but his Bud
dhist education often causes his preju-
Ices to come in collision with his Off
ctal duties. as in the case of one
warder.
A phoongyee, or Buddhist priest. in
Jail for stealing, had been placed in
solitary confinement for disobeying the
prison rules. His influence as a priest
had persuaded Burman warder to
procure him some betel nuts. which.
being discovered in his possession,
caused his punishment.
The stone cell in which the priest
was confined had Il plank supported at
both ends by insertion into slots in the
walls. The plank served as bed, and
at night the priest jumped ON it again
and again in order to force the ends
out Of the shallow sockets.
The Burman sentry peeped into tho
aperture Of the door and asked him 10
desist
The convict replied that he was a
priest and. as such. forbidden to sleep
upon raised bed.
BY this time he had got the board
free and. to disarm the sentry's sus.
picions. lay down upon it and feigned
sleep. The sentry returned to his post,
but few hours later he was alarmed
to see the phoongyee walking softly
down the passage. He had used the
board as lever to force out two Of
the bars in the door and had managed
to squeeze himself through the aper-
ture.
The sentry. Buddhist. was embar-
raised. To lay violent hands upon the
holy convict was out of the question:
to allow him to escape would bring
punishment upon himself AS the pas
sage doors were locked and the priest
safe for the present, the sentry ven
tured to demonstrate with his charge
on the improperly Of his behavior.
The tramp Of the relief guard was
heard outside. The sentry knelt and
implored the priest to return to his cell.
The door opened upon the tableau-a
uniformed sentry in an attitude of sup
plication before convict.
The Punjabese who formed the re-
lief guard. not being Buddhists. had no
respect for phoongyees. The convict
priest was promptly bundled into
new cell.-Boston Herald.
