ALARMING FREAK OF NATURE

Is a Phenomenon to the Watch.
ing Scientists.

The geological freak of a great
mountain disintegrating so fast that
it is dlscernible day by day-a thing
that ordinarily takes thousands Of
years-is occurring in the mountain.
Gus regions near Vienna. The Aus
see Sanding, rising over 5000 feet,
is collapsing. It's great cones and
pinnacles Of rock are crashing and
tumbling as if undermined BY
gnomes; the forests that clothed the
slopes lie fat or move slowly and
steadily downward, piling into the
valleys, and the turf carpet moves
with them. Over three and three
quarter miles of territory are in
yolved in the movement and hun.
dreds of sightseers view the convul-
Slons from the opposite slopes.
The phenomenon has been in
progress for nearly a year with grad
ually increasing acceleration. One
scientific explanation is the pres.
ence of an abnormal quantity of wa

the mountain, causing the collapse
Of great cayerns and the slipping of

OCEAN RETAINS ITS SECRET
Pate Of French Cruiser, Missing Since
Before End Of War, Still
Profound Mystery.

Strikingly similar to the fate Of
the American naval collier Cyclops
is the disappearance of the French
cruiser Suffren, a mystery still I'M
solved by five years search and in
vestigstiOn. After extended service
with allied fleets in the eastern Med
iterranean the vessel left Piraeus in
November, 1915, for 1orient, her
sailing port on the Breton coast.
Sailing slowly westward in the
land-bound sea the Suffren, whose
boilers and hull we're in poor condi-
ton, met two British destroyers at
Gibraltar. These feet boats escort
ed the Suffren out Of the submarine
danger zone thereabouts. Captain
Guein of the Sufren thanked his
protectors and continued the voyage
alone.
Nothing has been heard of the
French cruiser since. Relatives of the
crew of 720 men have been stead
fast. The French ministry of ma
rine has said nothing concerning the
vessels fate, but the mourners have
prayed daily since December, 1915,
Tor the return of the Suffren. Even
now they are only beginning to chant
prayers for the dead.

ARTIFICIAL GEMS TO ORDER
Possible Now to Make All Sorts OF
"Preelous Stones" in the Chemical
Laboratory,

Nearly all artificial gems, that is,
stones which are really made by ar
tifcial means, are compounds Of
alum crystalized under special con-
ditions. The metallic salts that are
added during fusion determine
whether the stones produced shall be
Sapphires, rubies or Oriental topazes,
amethysts or emeralds,
Early attempts to manufacture
artificial gems on a commercial
basis failed because of the difficulty
in obtaining the tremendous heat
necessary, but the oxyhydrogen
fame solved the problem, and pro-
ducing artificial gems is now an i'm
portant industry.
The basic material is ammonia
alum, which is converted into cal
cined alum by heating it, To that
is added the coloring matter in suit
able proportions, oxide chromium
for rubies, titanic acid for sapOhires.

ted to trickle down into the oxyhy-

Men who were drafted but who were re- jected on physical disability grounds aft or reaching camp. are entitled to the same consideration in the dispensing of relief as other ex-service men, the state board of control has ruled.
 Governor Lake, speaking before the control board this week said he believed the fnducted but not enlisted men wer~ entitled to relief and were to be considered as having been in the service of the Unit ed States army. The other members Of the board agreed with the governor.
 The ruling will affect several thousand men who are under this class in the state of Connecticut and means that they will become eligible for relief under the pro- visions of the state aid fund of $2,500,000 which the state voted, the interest to be used as a fund for the aid of the disabled and need ex-service men.
 The American Legion state executive committee now disburses the state fund through Frank s. Butterworth. its treas urer in New Haven.
