Emerald Is Ancient Jewel.

The emerald has been known since
early times, both in Europe and in GER
tain parts of the Orient, where its at
tractive color and rarity have endowed
1t with the highest rank and varied
lore. Mention is found of 1t in writings
dating 300 years before the Christian
era, and in the writings of Pliny, he
particularized somewhat on its prop
critics and supposed medicinal virtues;
and was even shrewd enough to sus-
pect its identity with the much more
common Deryl, although eighteen cen
turtles elapsed before this suspicion
was verified by scientific proof.

New Ideas About Iron Aoe.

The idea is gaining strength that the
iron age may have beer eegun long
before the discovery, about 1900 b. C.,
OF the art of smelling ores, and II
seems not improbable that the native
iron from meteorites was quite CON-
monty used for tools and weapons in
prehistoric times. At that period q
little metal would have gone long
way. 1t is only quite recently that me-
teorites found have been recognized
md recorded; Int c. F. thinner, listing
the known demonstrating meteOrites,
nearly all collected within the Inst 100
years, shows that even these might
supply about $50 tons of iron. OF this
material 90 per cent is malleablc nickel
Iron alloy. Fragments suitable for
mounting on handles as crude imple-
ments can be easily detached, and
could be shaped by very simple meth
DDS. Tools of meteoritic iron, more
over, have been discovered in use. The
Aztecs of Mexico at the lime of the
Spanish conquest, had daggers and
knives of iron, said to have been de-
rived from the sky; and more recently
the iron of meteorites has been found
In use among the American Indians
and the Eskimos.

Montana Forest Fire Beyond Control

Missoula, Mont.-United States For
estry officials said they were facing the
worst fire situation that has arisen in
Western Montana and Idaho since the
district was swept by general con-
flagration in 1910. A rapidly growing
fire west of Lolo Hot Springs was
famed beyond all control by a gale

a rout before it. A large fire near
Seeley Lake also is spreading, but is
moving away from the many summer
homes which line the shores of the
