A Map in Rare Stones. In the days when the Franco-Rus- sian alllance was founded, cx-Czar holas gave the French nation z map of France which admirably illus- trated the underground wealith of his far-flung dominions. The ground work of the map is polished jasper of every color from pure white to bright red. The eighty-seven departments of France are 5o arranged that the color of one. never clashes with the colors of its nefghbors. The seaboard is a whitish grey marble and the parts of England, Switzerland, Belglum, Ger- many, Italy and Spain are of slate- colored iasper. .The cities and towns of France by percious stones; Parls by a blood red ruby: Lile by a piece of phenakite, Bordeaux by an aqua- marine and -Rouen by'a sapphire. The mames of the cities, seas and islands are of solid gold and the rivers of polished platinum. . Every part of the map was mined from Russian soil. Its value is estimated at $1,250,000. It has been kept in the . old vault where French crown jewels were kept. Now that the czar has disappeared from the seats of the mighty, the TFrench government may perhaps sell or pledge it to .an American millionaire. for five million francs. Winning Back French Territory. The Entente ALies had since the battle of the Marne and prior to the obattles around = Saint Quentin liber- ated about 70 per cent of the French territory invaded by the Germans. With the advance’of ~the British 1roops east of Roisel and east of ¢roisille, the department of the Somme was entirely liberated and ‘the occu- pied- territory in the Pas de Calais re- duced to ‘ten per cent. The French are wearing- down the Sermans’ hold on the department of the Alsne, having reduced it from 100 per cent at the time of the battle of the Marne to 56 per cent at prescnt. The territory invaded in August and September. 1914, was 8 4-10_per, ‘cent of all of France: at the begining of this vear the Germans held 3 -10 per cent of the whole. " Since the 15ih of March they have relinquished more than 10 per cent of their hading.
