Immediately from the bureau Of in
ternal revenue at Washington, tho
city's addicts may be forced to take
to the pipe or cigar.
Feverish activity throughout the
city by FIVE field deputies, under B. A.
Lines. Louisiana collector OF internal

boxes. casaf. cartons and packages
Of cigarettes being rendered tenn
porarily out Of commission.
With official seals affixed in profu-
sion. dozens Of tobacco stores today
gave them the appearance Of Sum-
day, when all cigar stands and stores
are forced by law to close for the
day. The cigarettes were sealed be-
cause revenue stamps had not been
properly Cancelled. Manufacturers are
responsible. according to Mr.. Lines.
Mr.. Lines made it clear that the
failure on the part of the manufac-
turers of the cigarettes to cancel the
stamps was not for the purpose Of
defrauding the government. He as
serted. that on the other hand, that
he believed that 1t was just an over
sight on their part.

Blue Nose led by ffty-eight seconds
The Lunenburger took the big blow
that they encountered better than the
Ford, which was awash to her coam-
ings.
The Blue Nose foretopmast showed
signs Of buckling. however. and they
were in the process OF trimming the
sail when the big ballooners blew out,

that by taking a long board and a

and save the seconds involved in the
tacking process. The tactics were
good. but the wind was not. 1t hauled

OPENED WORLD OF ANCIENTS
Frenchman in Year 1922 Succeeded in Decipherino HieroaIyphIcs on
 Egyptian Monuments.

AS there is always a centennial in prospect. we are now about to reach that of ChampolIion's deciphering of Egyptian writing The announcement of this discovery was, in fact, made fin 1922.
 Champollion had spent more than twenty years trying to plumb the se- cretS of hieroglyphics. He finally found it with the discovery of an in ScriptiOn in Greek carved in hlerogly- phic characters. The word that ap- peared most often in Greek was the name of PtOlemy, to whom the stone had been raised. ChampOlliOn, there fore, searched for the hieroglyphicS which correspOnded with this word. M-h:SSI signs had the value of "P" and ''t'' and ''O''? In addition to super human patience, a genius for alvin alton was called for.
 First light came from the letter "T'' by comparison with certain signs ap- bearing on a monument to Cleopatra. But this was only one step forward, as Egyptian writing was composed of alphabetical characters, syllable signs and ideographic as well as deterTnin- ative symbols.
 Thus it is easy to imagine the time required before ChampOllIOn opened the world of the ancients to the re. searches of Science-a world which is still more or less of an enigma to the student.-FrOm Le Petit Parisien Paris.

ART IN CUTTING DIAMONDS
Peculiar Propsrtiss of the Precious Gem Must Be Thoroughly Under :.
 stood by the Lapidary

A diamond cutter, writing for the London Mail, relates some interesting facts as to forms into which diamonds are cut to enhance their luster. A diamond is the hardest substance In nature and cannot even be scratched except with another diamond, while some stones can be cut only with their own powder.
 Yet the hardest of all can be cleft by heavy blow delivered in the right direction that is, parallel to the faces of the eight sides which it's crystal shows. It is this property that permits the very large stones, such as the "CuI- linan" diamond, to be worked.
 Tn spite of this, 8 diamond has the simplest composition of all precious stones, for it is only erystalizeff ear bon, and near relafiSeR to. ordinary ggaphtte, asually..alled eblacklead.'' .a=.E8l 3ast v .aaas As been formed by enormous pressure in the remotest depths Of the earth's crust, and probably, forced to- ward the surface by steam.
 The principal forms into which a diamond is cut are:
 Brilliants, with an octagOnal face surrounded by many smaller facets.
 Rose diamonds, with a fiat base, above which are two rows of tTianGu- lar facets. the uppermOst terminating in a point.
 Table diamonds, which are thin stones cut with triangular facets.
 What makes the diamond so pre- ciOuS Is the presence of inward fire the mysterious gleams of blue and red that change with every movement, and which makes such an appeal to onr sense of beauty.
 The charm of precious stones lies in their brilliancy and Iuster, the in tensity of the latter depending upon the polish of the surface; for if the stone is dull or uneven the light is scattered and not reflected.
 The only stones at all approaching 1t are zlrcOn and the green garneC called "olivine." The luEter of all other stones is vitreOus, such as seen on the surface of broken glass. And the third type is that shown by resins.
 In order to bring out the full beauty  way that the facets reveal its Splen- dor, and the art of the lapldary rests upon his knowledge of what hecomes of tile light when it falls upon the stone: so he must understand the laws of reflection and refractiOn.
 When a white light is refracted into a coIOrIesS stone 1t changes and is split up into a spectrum. Since the refrac- tive index increases progressively as the wavelength of the light decreases, normal spectrum is violet at one end and passes through green and yellow to red at the other end; for instance, in the familiar rainbow. The width of the spectrum also varies, and it Is this "dispprSion" that determines the fire"
 It would be difficult to name any substance around which has been woven such a web of romance.
