FIVE POUND
SAPPHIRE FOUND

The largest precious stone in the
worlds history recently was discov-
cred in Burma, according to a cable
from Bombay. 1t is a sapphire and
weighs II 900 carats, or more than
five pounds savoirdupois. The discov-
cry of the second largest precious
stone, kept secret since 1917, was an
nounced last fall. 1t is black opal,
found in Nevada, and weighs 1866 car
ats, or more than a pound. The Gull
Imam diamond, which in the rough
weighed 3,025 carats, was the second
stone as far as weight was concerned
The opal is larger in size, having a
bulk of 21 cubic inches, while the Cul-
Imam was of Is cubic inches. The ca
BILE from Bombay did not say where
the giant sapphire was found, but
presumably it was discovered in the
Mogak district, on the River Beras, in
Upper Burmah, where the worlds
richest ruby and sapphire mines are
located. 1t is eight inches long and in
the rough is valued at from SITS, 900 to
$250,000. A bid for the new opal of
$250,000 has been reported. The Gull
Imam diamond, in the rough, sold for
$1,000,000. The price placed on the
sapphire seems extremely low and
would indicate it is not flawless. There
seems no doubt that this immense sap
phire to find market will have to be
cut up into numerous small gems.

FIREMEN AID IN
DUST FIRES WORK

The dust-explosion Investigations
carried on by the Bureau of Chemis-
try, United States Department of
Agriculture, is having wide influ-
ence which has extended to many in
dustries. The bureau began work
with the object of reducing fires and
explosions in the grain elevators and
mills, but it was not long before the
experts realized that these fires and
explosions were by no means confined
to the grain business. Aluminium dust
starch, and even fish meal, by-pro-
duct of fish canneries, have all been
found susceptible to the condition
which produce disastrous explosions.
The latest development goes to
prove that the mysterious blow
backs" so well known to firemen are
in some cases caused by dust. With
the knowledge Of this fact as a guide
many fatal accidents may be avoided.
! The firemen of America find the mat
ter of sufficient Importance to war
rant their cooperation with the De-
partment of Agriculture in a study
of preventive methods. The subject
was taken up by the National Fire
mems Association at their twenty
second annual convention on May 18,
10, and 20, at Peoria, H., Engineers
engaged in the dust-explosion investi-
cations represented the Department
of Agriculture at the meeting.

An Old Geranium Plant.

The old geranium plant had grown
tired. Many summers it bloomed in
the garden, many winters supplied
beauty in the house. Cuttings from it
supplied the neighbors with plant and
blossoms. The stalk had grown stout,
was gnarled and SCARED. For years
it had persisted, then it grew weary.

was smaller. Last winter it quit. The
stalk looked to be dry and anemic 1t

but made no response.
When warmth and glory of the ear

back porch. 1t had been real friend.
In summer, its rich bloom, in winter
its fresh beauty had been bright
spot on many weary days. If it was
to die it was deserving of kindly at
tention. The end should come in the
light, with the spring wind and sun
whispering the message of growth and
glory near at hand. 1t seemed to en-
Joy the fresh air. 1t drank in the
warm sun, a little image of green
seemed to show in the dry covering
of the stalk. 1t was seeking to make
response to the quickening of spring.
1t had not quit, it was tired, and was
resting until nature gave special stim-
ulus. A bud began to form on the
stalk, low down. The urging of the

The common domestic pig will new
