New Rub;es.

Modern science has not brought US very much nearer the magic stone of the old philosophers. but it has enabled later experts to play some surprising tricks with the existing materials of the eweler and lapidary. The old al- chemist set out to discover the phil osopher's stone, and achieved gunpow-- der and other adjuncts to civilization as the accidental by-product of their original inquiry. Their less credulous descendants reverse the process; the invention Is made first and it's appli- cation to magic is discovered after ward.
 The existence of the electric furnace makes it possible to create diamonds that are the veritable stone, and to , fuse clippings and fragments of ruby ; into one complete jewel Now arrives a report that with the aid of radiuris successful transformations have been made in the appearance, if not in the !. nature, of certain precious stones. A sapphire, it is said, has been turned in- to glorious ruby by long exposure fo. the effect of radium. q Chemically considered, this is not. very surprising, for the two stones gre both examples of corundum, and tae mysterious accident of color is t,ss principal difference between them. =;
 sapphire can be made 10 blush hand enough for it's mistake In not being s- ruby, presumably it could blush itselss into a most accomplished example of the more valuable stone.-Aianchester' Guardian. q

 One of the easiest things General Obregon does" said Meaker lis to deal out a complete deck of playing cards to a party of seven, memorizing the cards each receives, then, beginning backward, tell each man correctly the cards he holds.
 He remembers whole columns of newspaper articles, and, many days after reading them, can repeat an entire ar ticle verbatim. He remembers accurate ly incidents years back. A great deal of the book Eight Thousand Kilometers of Campaigning is written from his mar velous memory"
