EARTH'S RICHEST RUBY MINES
Center Of Worlds Store Of Precious
Stones Is Known to Be Located
in Upper Burma.

The worlds ruby center is Mogok, in
upper Burma, some 70 miles north Of
Mandalay. Here are the great ruby
mines. one Of Burma's most valuable
monopolies, says the London Weekly
Telegraph. Indeed. not only does this
country produce the finest of these
covetcI gems, but they are recovered
in such quantities as to enable her to
dominate the market.
Few are aware that. weight for
weight. ruby Is more valuable than
diamond. 1t Is estimated that one the
color of pigeons blood. weighing five
carats. will sell for ten times the value
OF diamond Of the same weight. Fur
thermore the price increases with the
size of the stone.
AS the "byon." or earth containing
the coveted gems, Is taken from the
ground it is placed in great revolving
tub. Here 1t is screened and all loose
earth removed by water. The residue
is then tipped on the sorting table.
white overseer carefully examines the
pile, selecting the true gems from the
worthless debris. If he's lucky he may
at one sorting find gems worth many
thousands Of dollars, while on the 9TH
er hand the yield may be but hun
dred dollars or two. The yearly out
put of rubies from these mines totals
about 100000.

as Horace Greeley published an open

Union without freeing any slave, l

One Paramount Object:

CECRETARY STANTON came to
the White House one afternoon
~ to protest against pardon which
President Lincoln had issued for a
soldier sentenced to be shot for deser-
ton. Stanton said:
"That mOther-in-law who came to
you this morning was only shedding
crocodile tears. She doesn't care for
that son-in-law. I'm told that she
merely came as matter of duty, be-
cause she had opposed the marriage
of her daughter to that man, and to
refuse to plead for his life would have
been almost objectionable. But she
didn't care for the pardon, and didn't
expect it."
"All of that was very clear to me,
Stanton" was the reply of the Won
derful Lincoln.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
More hOg-cholera serum was manu-
1actured last year than in any previous
year, despite a decrease in the amount
of hog cholera. The increased demand
for hog-cholera serum is ascribed to
the greater value of hogs, with the
consequent greater loss when one dies,
and to the fact that hog raisers are be-
coming more appreciative of the value
OF using serum manufactured under
federal supervision.
Department of agriculture officials
warn hog raisers against the indis-
criminate use of medicines or proprie-
tary preparations other than serums,
as experience has shown that nothing
except serum, properly prepared and
administered, is effective. Medicines
other than serums, according to de-
partment officials, are worse than USE
less, because they not only fail to cure
or prevent disease, but allow the loss

,inarians and their assistants of the

partment. Sixty-eight veterinarians,
In addition to forty-one inspectors and
clerks, are now engaged in this work
and are located in eleven states.
Federal regulations require that all
animals used in the. preparation or
testing of hog-cholera serum and
hog-chOlera virus, both of which are
used in the treatment of hogs in the
prevention of hog cholera, be procured
direct from farms and not transported
through stockyards or similar places
where they might be exposed to con-
tagious diseases. As an additional
safeguard all animals must not only
be inspected ty bureau veterinarians
at the time they are presented for adj
mission to licensed establishments, but
each animal is carefully inspected at
the time of incubation as well as Inn
mediately before bleeding for the pro-
ductfon Of either virus or serum.
Veterinary biological products, after
being properly prepared, are tested by
laboratory methods and upon animals
to determine whether they are free
from communicating organisms and
will accomplish the object for which
they are intended.
Federal inspectors, as well as en-
ployees of establishments, are required
to keep satisfactory records relative
to the inspection and manufacture of
all products. In the year 1917, ESQ.,
