LA/i AX, «A icvi, r i m n m u u x i OUB .................................. _............ .. »3.1« One California mine exhibits tour meline crystals a foot long and sev eral Inches wide, of a deep, luscious pink—termed rubellte—with an outer coating o f a darker color. Borne of the pink tourmalin«* have a capping of blue. In the Pals district red tour mallnee are the rule; In others rich blues and greens; whilst still others have all these sail many other exqul site colors. On the 8an Jacinto meun tains were discovered green tenrina lines with red centers, such as Brazil was noted for. Sometimes they are green at one end and red at the other end of the same crystal. Harvard uni versity has one that Is eight Inches long and two Inches In diameter. Absolutely unique are some that are the exact reverse of the fnc'oux double-color Brazilian type—being green Internally and red externally. Mesa Gramle Is notable tor these very rare gems and for the large sire-of Its tourmalines a fine set of these was presenter) to the Musee d’Hlxtolre Xnturells In Paris, and those are won derful, with their beautiful colors anil shades of red. rose, pink, pale green, yellowish green and dark greeu, and of a size from which are cut gems of from twenty to thirty carats. The two-color tourmalines also make nice cat’s-eyes when cut across, and are fashionable In some quarters. G a v e Name to Kay The X-nty (Roentgen ray) was dis covered In 1895 at Wurzburg, Oer many, by W. K. Roentgen. He was using apparatus comprising Crookes tubes. While thus engaged he per ceived certain peculiar manifestations never before observed. Tills led to Investigation, with the outcome that the discovery was made that the pro duction of X-rays Is Incident to the use of such tubes. Knowledge there of spread very quickly throughout Eu rope and the I'nlled States. The utilization of the rays for curative pur [loses soon came about, and since that time there has been refinement and Improvement In the apparatus by Coolidge and many others. F ir Tree Sw allow ed by Stronger Kindred correspondent of the Scientific American Magazine telle of a fir tree that swallowed another, that was brought Into the aawmlll at Spring field, Ore. Not long ago a bott fir log nearly four feet In diameter was brought Int* the aawiulll of the Booth-Kelly Lum her company. Springfield, Ore. Dur Ing the proceM of sawing It was dis covered that here wae a tree that bad evidently swallowed another one Counting the growth rings, the larger outgide tree was eatlmuted to be 215 years old and the little Inner one, 15 luchea In diameter, 110 years old, at the time of cutting. When and how the swallowing process took place Is a matter of con Jecture, but no doubt the two trees originally stood closely side by side, and In the course of growing came to press aguinst one another to such an extent that they gradually became one. When the two trees first touched, both were young, the larger not much over 50 years old und the smaller around 35. The larger and more powerful slowly enfolded the smaller until It died from want of sun and air, after a struggle of many years’ duration. Then the lurger tree, evidently satis fied with its victory, kept on growing nutll the woodmen’s axes laid it low about 75 years later. FOR CHRISTMAS Lot 1«. 25 feet. U.
