The American institute in New York
and proposed a model for a new ship.
He succeeded in interesting William
Aspinwall, one Of New iork's China
trade princes. who in 1912 signed
contract to build ship of $50 tons
according to Griffths designing.
The ship was completed in January,
lS45, and named the. Rainbow. The
Rainbow sailed for China in Febru-
ary. and was back home again in Sep
tember to reward her owners with 200
per cent over what she had cost.
John Willis Grifiiths was horn in

In 1889. He was the inventor Of the

Shall We Discard Hyphens7

In the struggle for the conservation

to cut out the hyphens from our books

nal. THEM use causes us to waste an
enormous amount of time, ink and
physical force. Some nations build
up compound words without any hy-
phen to break them, but the English
find one necessary for a simple word
of five letters, like to-day" 1t may
be roughly estimated that each Of the
2OOO.OO0.OO6 people who write Eng
lish write to-day" tomorrow" or
tonight" three times day. Half an
ounce Of force is required to make
a hyphen with pen or a pencil, so
this superfuous symbol entails to-
tai waste Of 1880 900 pounds daily. or
enough to draw passenger train

MAKES THE SAPPHIRE BLUSH
Radium Treatment Turns thu Cheaper
Stones to Rubies Which Conn.,
mand the Highest Prices.

Modern science has not brought us
very much nearer the magic stone Of
the old philosophers, but 1t has enabled
later experts to play some surprising
tricks with the existing materials OF
the jeweler and lapidary. The old
alchemists set out to discover the phi
losopher'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 Its applica-
ton to magic Is discovered afterward.
&c. 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 radium
successful transformations have been
made In the appearance, II not In the
nature, Of certain precious stones.
sapphire. 1t is said. has been turned
into a glorious ruby by long exposure
to the effect of radium. Chemically
considered, this Is not very surprising,
for the two stones are both examples
of corundum, and the mysterious acct
dent of color Is the principal difference
between them. II q sapphire can be
made to blush hard enough for Its
mistake IN not being a ruby, pre-
sumably It could blush itself into
most accomplished example OF the
more valuable stone.

Shcep-Raising Old Industry.

Sheep raising Is perhaps the oldest
OF all Industries, for it was practicrd
even before. agriculture. Wool Is a
product Of cultivation or domestica-
ton. for there are no wild animals
which closely resemble the wool-hear-
ing sheep. Floyd w. Parsons. in the
Saturday Evening Post. says that with
the discovery that cloth could he made
from wool came an effort to improve
the fleece by selection and breeding.
The early Romans were most success
full in this pursuit. and their endeav-
ors along this line resulted in develop
ing fleece Of great fineness. After the
conquest Of the Iberian peninsula.
Roman sheep were introduced into
Spain. where they so greatly improved
the native 1ocks that even during
Roman supremacy Spanish wool led
the worlds markets, prestige held for
many centuries.
