Lazy Methods by Which the Precious Stones Are Got Out. The famous turquoise mines of Nisha- pur, in Northern Persia, are believea to be the only turquoise mines in the world which have been worked extensively or which have produced the turquoise of per- fect shape and color. On approaching the mines from Nishapur, after entering the fow hills and gradually ascending, one arrives first at the villages inhabited by the miners, which are op undulating ground about 5000 feet above the sea level, After another gradual ascent for about a mile by a very good road the foot of a hill about 1000 feet 1n height is reached. All the mines are on the south face of this hill, and from the first to the last the dis- tance as the crow flies is not more than half & mile. The Reish mine, which is the only one worked on a large scale or with vigor, produces the greater part of the turquoises at present sent to market. It is near the top of one of the highest ranges, at an aititude of about 6000 feet above the sea level. The entrance is a hollowed-out cave, about twelve yards across, with a vertical shaft some five vards in diameter. Two men were reclin- ing at the mouth of this shaft, with their backs against the wall of the cave, and turning with their bare feet a rickety wooden wheel, which brought up the debris from below ina small sheepskin bag, holding no more than a peck per- haps. This was received by a thira man, who unhooked, emptied and reattaches it. The other two men removed their feet, and the bag went down with a run some feot, where three, other men were simi- larly cngaged o a ledge in the shaft. The mine itself is eighty or ninety feet from the surface. The miners first descend by means of a narrow diagonal tunnel, and then scramble down the rough sides of the shaft. At the mouth of the cave, which ison ¢ghe precipitous billside, haif a dozen men were seated close together on a ledge breaking with small hammers the frag- ments of rock as they were brought up from below. When a turquoise wasdis- covered it was placed on one side in its rough state, encased. in rock and sent to Mershed. Unfortunately, though the mine is very productive and the tur- quoises of good shape their color soon goes. Since the Abdur Rezal mine fell in it may be said that the stones of perfect shape and color are very rarely found. But, thouzh really good turquoises are rare, there is an abundance of imperfect and bad stones whici are eagarly bought, for all Orientals prize them, and the very poorest like to possess even a green and spotted one set ina tin ring. Itis more than likely, however, tbat the hill con- tains an abundance of good stones. Some of those now found look excellent at first, but the color in most cases soon fades, cr a green tinge is developed, or epots appear on them. Some of these white spots can only be detected at first with a glass, and then as a mere speck, but in time they may expand and spread right across the stone. The color of most fadea turquoises can be temporarily re- vived bv dampness. In Meshed no one would dream o})buyiug a turquoise of zood color without possessing it :first for some days, for it is the most treacherous of all precious stones. The turquoises, as soon as they are cut in Mershed, are nearly all sola at once for export, and their price in the town rises at least 1000 per cent. Sodfie years ago one could obtain in Meshed good turquoises of perfect shape, fine color, fair size, and witbout a flaw for a few shillings each. Turquoises are at present far cheaper at Tiflis and Constantinopie than at Meshed, and at those towns one might perhaps find some of good color which have been in stock for years.— London Times. e OHIOAGO OATS. T hey Are Sacrificed in the Interest o} Science by Medical Students. Has your pet cat suddenly disappeared and you don't know what has become of it? Probably it has fallen a martyr to science. One hundred cats have met that fate during the past week, and another hundred have it in store for them. At this period of the year each of the medical students in Chicago is required to dissect an animal and mount its skeleton. The animal preferred is a cat. There are some 200 medical students in Chicago in their first vear, and each of them 1is jn- strucied to keep his eye open for a cat, and they have been prowling down all ys in searcn of felines,and perhaps half of them have been lucky enough to be suc- cessful in their search. It is not an easy task to find a cat when you want one. Ordinary mortals see plenty of them as they squalil through the nt outside of their windows. But it is d:fferent with the medical student. When he wants a cat be finds it very dflicult to get one, and therefore he is forced to make a verv thorough hunt hefore he succeeds in bagging the game. On this account the medical student finds 14 better to make the residence'districts his hunting-ground, where he may be able to catch some very tame feline who has wandered from its house and home to sun itself on the steps. The stray cats are much harder to capture, becatse they are not so tame and have been taught by sad experience to re- zard all men as their enemies. The pet tabby is less suspicious and_falls an easy prey -to the medical student when she wanders from her own fireside. Hence it is that most, of the cats which are being made martyrs to science are well groomed and high bred. Fully a score of beautiful Angoras and nearly as many Persian cats have been captured alive and chloroformed by the students during the past week. There is a student at one of the medical colleges who has been so successful in cap- turing cdts that he has been making a business of it, and is laying by a store of money to help pay his expenses through the college. He has a winsome way of saying, ‘‘Pusty, pussy,” which few cats seem abie to resist, and as a result be has caught sixteen during the past week, which he has very iittle difficulty in sell- ing 10 less fortunate hunters of the feline pets. His favorite hunting-zround is Michigan avenue, where the best cats can be had and most easily.—Chicago Times- Herald. ———————— COUNNING OF ELEPHANTS. Some Examples of Thejr Sagacity While in Their W1l State. Beveral years ago a large bull elephant was captured by Cripps, the famous ele- phant-taker of Ceylon. The animal made a desperate struggle at first, but was finally conquered and led into the corral by two elephants trained for the purpose. The moment it entered the inclosure it sank upon the ground and apparently died of what natives termed a broken heart. Every effort was made to restore the elephant. It was treated by the doc- tors, pinched with spears by the mahouts, but all to no purpose, and it was finally deserted. But the moment the natives reached a safe distance the wily beast sprang to its feet, and with exultani trumpeting rushed through the corral fence and into the forest, where its cries of delight at the success of its ruse were heard for some time. Mice will feign death {o escape a cat, and even human beings at times adopt this ruse to escape from the various ene- mies. Almust every great lion-hunter has tried it with this animal, and olften with success. A famous elephant-hunter was caught by & rogue elephant and tossed in the air, after which the ferovious brute at- tempted to kneel upon him and crush him, but the hunter did not move, realizing that it was his only salvation, and the ele- phant, thinking him dead, turned and ran into the brush. One of the most remarkable instances of presence of mind on record was that shown by Seious, the African big-game sportsman. He was causht by an en- raged elephant, which he had wounded, and pinned to the earth by a tusk which cut through his thigh to the bone, tearinga paping wound, Selous retained conscious- ness and pretended to be dead. The ele- phant. watched him closely for a few moments to see if he was alive; then he jerked his tusk from his body and the groungd, which it had penetrated, rose to its feet and staggered off to receive its death from the friends of the plucky hunter, wno had not fired, fearinz that the animal would fall and crush the wounded man,—Philadelphia Inquirer. —_——————— A SEA BOTTOM EXPLORER. Work Actually Begun on the Lake Sub- marine Boat. Work was begun a day or two ago at the Columbian Shipyards, Baltimore, on the construction of the lake submarine wreck- ing vessel that is to sink into the ocean depths, explore wrecks and coral beas, and in fact, be the wonder of the age in marine engineering. The boat, which has al- ready been described in these columns, will be cigar-shaped, 36 feet long, 9 feet in diameter, with a displacement of 54 tons. The steel hull will be braced to stand the pressure at a depth of 300 feet. She will be propelled by steam on the surface and by electricity while sub- merged. The craft will be divided into four compartments — engine and livin, room, air-lock chamber, divers’ room -ns lookout. compartment. The pilot-house and smokestack will be in the center ot the vessel’s back. When running on the surface the boat will be guided and pro- pelled ‘as are ordinary steam vessels. The vessel will be submerged by filling tanks in Ler hull, lowering heavy weights to the bottom of the sea, and then ‘wind- ing in the cables attached to the weights, when the vessel will descend. The fires will be extinguished when the vessel goes down, and electricity will then supply the motive power. The peculiar craft is to carry a crew of six men, ana will be capa- ble of staying on the bottom forty hours without nnewintfin ar. The ovenings where the divers will go out will be'on the bottom and the water will be kept out of the apartment from which they leave the boat by air pressure. Powerful electric lights will Uluminate the ocean bed for 200 feet around the boat. There wiil be a propelier in the rear and when it strikes Lottom it will run on three wheels, two of which will be furnished with elaws to act as additional propellers. Simon Lake, the inventor, is a vouug ma- rine engineer of Baltimore. W.T. Mal- ster, president of the Columbian Works, is interested in the scheme.—Philadelphia Recora. - THE CALL CALENDAR. 23 | 24 | 25 | 26 OCEAN STEAMEKS, Dntes of Departure ¥rom San Franolsco.
