Stones hues That May Be
Called Definite.

- a..
Story writer's talk Of the sky being
as blue as sapphire, or Of Wild
beasts eyes glowing as yellow as
topaz.
Most Of us are under the impression
that we can recognize gems by their
coiors, and that certain c0iors belong
definitely to certain stones.
Quite mistake. There is hardly q
precious stone which is always true to
color. Diamonds, OF course, vary
greatly. The famous Hope diamond
Isl real and most beautiful blue.
Green diamonds are found, and 9TH
ers of lovely crimson, but these are
very rare. Black diamonds are COM
mon enough.
Black pearls are rarer, but are
found. Pink pearls are greatly priced.
One Of the finest In existence was
found in fresh water mussel In the
Mississippi river and is valued at S15.-
GOO. on the Pearl islands, south Of
Panama, pearls are found which are
lead-gray and also green.
Sapphire mines In the Rocky noun
tains produce stones which touch the
whole color scale from blue and red
to an exquisite purple.
In RhOdesia is found topaz Of a
most lovely pale blue. Yet the chem
zeal composition of the gem proves 1t
to be identical with the yellow topaz.
The colors Of most gems are more
or less fugitive. That is, under GER
tain circumstances they are liable to
fade. Take two rubies exactly similar,
shut one In the dark, and leave the
other exposed to full sunlight, and at
the end Of two years there viii be a
distinct difference between them. The
one that has been exposed to the tight
will be decidedly paler than the other
Similar results may be observed
with both emeralds and sapphires.
Garnets also will turn lighter, while
in the case Of the topaz, sunlight ends
by diminishing and dufling the color
of this stone.-Stray Stories.

!. Old TANNERS DID GOOD WORK
Z Leathsr Made In China 5000 Years
Age Has Seen Found in Compare
lively Good Condition.

Originally skins were cured by sim
ply cleaning and drying. Then 1t was
found the texture of the leather was
Improved by the use Of smoke, sour
milk, various oils and the brains Of
animals themselves. Later 1t was dis
covered that certain astringent barks
and vegetables effected permanent
changes in the texture of skins and
stopped decay. The ancient Egyptians
possessed this knowledge, for engrav-
ings on their tombs depict the process
Of tanning. In China specimens Of
leather. have been discovered in COM
psny with other relics that prove them
to be more than 5000 years old. The
Romans used leather which they
tanned with oil. alum and bark. Early
explorers In America found the In
dams wearing skins prepared with
buffalo dung. oil and clay.
No Improvement In the general
methods OF preparing leather took
place from the most primitive times
until about 1890 when the use of lime
to loosen the hair was introduced. BY
1925 English tanners were attempt
Ing to introduce new methods by
which the tanning process could be
shortened. One of the pioneers In
these experiments was John Burridge.
che inventor of the barometer, an in
ssrument for determining the strength
OF tanning liquors.
In 1880 the first tannery In Amer
lea was built In Virginia. A second
one was established few years later

SABBATH DAY" NOT SUNDAY
Modern Writers Display an Amazing
czrsfessnsss in Their Misuse
Of the Words.

In English there is not more def
mite word than sabbath. yet 1t is used
with an amazing carelessness as q
synonym for Sunday. The writer's and
translators Of the New Testament use
sabbath correctly, says writer in the
Brooklyn Eagle.
It is always Hebrew and In no in
stance IL 1t associated with the New
testament dispensation-now univer-
sally known as Christianity. Indeed
the apostles were severely rebuked by
the Jews for breaking the sabbath.
Christians cannot break the sabbath,
fer they do not have 1t to break.
Sabbath and Sunday are observed
on separate days, but this is not nee
essary. as astronomy shows that the
identity Of days from year to year is
impossible; since the year and day
are ncommensurable. The leap years
show that any given date varies q

500 Columbus Renters
Ask Landlords To Cut

COLUMBUS, May 28.-The first
general movement ever undertaken
here to bring down rents was an
nounced yesterday when a committee
representing a big list of the renting
population, after getting 500 names
signed to eight petitions asking for
reductions, presented the papers to
local renting agents.
1t is claimed in the petitions that
owing to the cut in wages and the re-
duction in other lines. rents ought to
come down, and to this end an ear
nest plea is made.
On inquiry at a number of the To-
cal renting offices it was learned
that there was no change in prices
contemplated. In some instances it
was stated owners Of houses wanted
more rent, the landlords pointins: out
increases in taxes and cost of up
keen. One of several agents seen
said he thought reductions ought to
come, but that the owners were not
inclined to cut, because Of increas-
ed tax rates.
1t was stated a meeting of the
agents and others interested had
been planned.
