American Gem Production.

The gem industry of the United
States in 1918 was marked by a fairly
large output of sapphire, a real adj
vance in the work of testing the Ar
kansas diamond field, and a greater
activity in the Nevada opal field.
There was. however, a decrease in the
production, of most of the other gems
mined. The total production was val
ued at $319,454, according to D. B. Ster-
rett, of the United States Geological
Survey. The output of sapphire in
Montana was the largest ever report
ed to the Survey and the value is es-
timated at $23S, 635. or over $500 more
than in 1912. The sapphire consisted
of both blue and varicolored gems and
culls for mechanical purposes. In Ar
kansas one diamond washing plant
was in operation about three months
and recovered several hundred dia-
monds, and the construction of an
other plant was practically completed.
Many new claims were located in the
Nevada opal field, the development of
which. along with those previously
opened, resulted in a fairly large out
put of beautiful gems.
The imports of precious stones for
1913 were valued at s45, 431, 1898 and were
the largest in the history of the in
dustry.

precious stones for 1918 may be OBJ

COMMANDS FRANCES ARMIES
The HIGHEST
HONOR GIVEN
GEN. JOFFRE
General Joffre, eommander-in-chief
Of the armies Of France.

Paris, Nov. aS.-d2.20 A. NJ
President Poincare has conferred up
on Gen. Joffre the Medaille Militaire,
the highest honor that can be confer
red upon a general. The presentation
was made in the presence Of Premier
Viviania, Minister of War Millerand,
the Presidents of the Senate and the
Chamber of Deputies, and the mem
bers of the general staff.
In making the presentation, Presi-
dent Poincare said the simple medal
which vas the emblem of the highest
military virtue and which was worn
with equal pride by illustrious gen.
erals and humble soldiers was a mark
of the nations gratitude to their COM
mander-in- chief.
THE horrors of this war" NJ. Poin-
care said, will not dampen the en-
thusiasm of the troops. The grievous
losses suffered by the nation will not
disturb it's constancy nor shake Its
will. France exhausted all means to
spare to humanity this unprecedent-
ed catastrophe. She knows to avoid
its recurrence she must, in union with
her allies, definitely abolish its cause.
"Indecisive victory and a precarious
peace would expose tomorrow the ge-
MUS of France to fresh insults from
that refined barbarism which assumes
the mask of SCIENCE the better to Stake
it's instincts of domination.
France will carry on to the end.
by a union of all her children and
with the unfag ging aid Of her allies,
the work of European liberation now
begun. And when she has completed
the task she will find fuller life in
glory, concord and security"
The Presidential party afterward
left army headquarters for an extend
ed tour Of the battle front.

Increase in Massachusetts Quarry
and Clay Output.


The principal mineral products of

More than half of the total value of
the annual mineral production is de-
rived from the stone quarries, exclu-
sive Of the limestone burned into lime.
The total value of the mineral prod
ucts of Massachusetts in 1918, accord
ing to the United States Geological
Survey, was s7,044,5 29, of which the
stone quarries furnished S4,096,372 and
the clay working industries $1,S14,S SIS.
The corresponding figures for 1912 were
s6.654,5 s3,663,279, and S1.767, 166, re-
spectiyely. About so per cent. of the
stone quarried, measured by value,
was granite, which was used princi-
paily for building and monumental
purposes and for paving blocks. a rel

The production of lime in Massachu-

State produces no kind of mineral
fuel, although numerous deposits of
peat exists in swamps and bogs in the
eastern and central portions of the
State. The metal production is con-
fined to a small output of iron ere

trouble was that the British vessels so
seldom had a target to attack.
"over-sea Invasion"
The first lord told of the danger to
British ships from mines and subma-
rines and of the possibility of armor-
ed and fast enemy liners escaping to
the high seas to prey on the Allies
shipping which later, he added, had
been prevented thus far. He concluded
his speech with the statement that
there was another danger, That Of
an oversee invasion-an enterprise
full of danger for those who might at
tempt it,"
Mr.. Churchill said that considering
the work the navy had done in the
protection of British commerce, the
restrictions it had placed on the ene-
my's supplies and the conveying by IL
of great numbers of troops to and fro
across the world, he was bound t.
say; Il think we have had a share Of
the luck"
On the whole, the first lord said,
he considered the navy had done well.
1t was, he declared. driving German
commerce from the seas and prevent
ing enemies getting war material
which they needed more and more AS
the war proceeded. Even if England
we're single handed there would be
no reason to despair, but with the
French in control in the Mediterra-
mean and Japan in the Pacific and The
Russian navy developing, we could go
on indefinitely, receiving our supplies
from wherever we need them, trans
porting our troops wherever they are
required and continue the process
with out strength growing stronger
every month, until at the end Of per-
| haps not very distant date we shall
achieve the purposes for which we are
fighting"

War Should Result in Increased
American Pottery Exports.


The American demand for several
minor mineral products will be stimu-
lated by the changes in trade with
Europe, with the result of increasing
materially the production for 1914 and
following years. In the case of pot
terry, this movement toward a strong
er hold Of the domestic market is al
ready well under way. The produc-
ton in 1918 was the largest in the his
tory of the industry. The underlying
cause Of this prosperity is no doubt
the improvement in the character of
the American product in texture, fin
ish, color, decoration, and the preven-.
ton of Grazing, the higher grades of
American pottery equaling If not sur
passing some Of the best imported
ware. For many years the value of
the Imported pottery exceeded the val
ue of that made at home, but about
the close Of the nineteenth century do
mestic production caught up with i'm
ports, and since that time it has great
ly, exceeded them, the production in
1918 being nearly four times as great
in value as the imports, There was,
however, last year q considerable de-
crease in exports of pottery, a record
which should now be reversed by rea-
son Of the changes in the worlds COM
merce that have become. inevitable.
