The Romans. following the Greek nineralogists, divided gems into males tnd females according to the depth or !ghtness of their color. These terms tre thus alludd to by Theophrastus: 'Both these (beryl. carbuncle, omphax, ,rystal and amethyst) and the sard are ound on breaking open certain rocks, )resenting certain differences, but igreeing in name with each other. For of the sard the transparent and lood red sort is called the female, bile the less transparent and darker aind Is termed the male, and the cya ius also is named one sort the male Lnd the other the female, bhut the nale is the deeper in color of the two." he cyanus, or cyanos, of the an ients is said, though probably incor ectly, by many modern mineralogists o be identical with our sapphire. The Letter "MW" In Mother. It has been pointed out as a curious act that -he letter "M" in almost all mown languages - English, French. Eatin, Spanish, Greek, Hebrew, Cli iese and the others-it to be found in he word which stands for mother or mrse. Perhaps this is owing to its :epresenting a sound which exists in wery spoken speech and has the same .ronunciation in them all. It is also Mceedingly easy to utter amd Is one o: the first sounds that chdren make, d it therefore naturally enters into the appellation given to the nursing arent in the first cries of recognition xnd affection. There Is no doubt at all that "ma" and the other baby names Er mother originated directly from the hild. National Longevity.

Fish That Canx cOt Swvim. More than one species of fish is met with which cannot swim, the most sin gular of which perhaps Is the raaltha, , a Brazilian fish, whose organs of loco motion only enable it to crawl or walk . or hop, after the manner of a toad, to which auimal this tlsh to some extent bears a resemblance. and It is provided T with a iong upturned snout. The an- s terior (pectoil) i.ns of the malt-a. 0 which are cytite snall, are not capable of acting on the w. ter. but can .only move backward and forward. Both these and the ventral and anal fins a very different from the similar fins I other iishes and could c serve or swimming at all. Other emnples of nco* swimming fishes include the sea horse. anotherr most peculiarly shaped inhabitant of the sea, which resenibies the knight in a set of chessmen, and the starfish. American robins biuild plaster and dry grass nests in the crotches of trees, while the little English bird of the t same name, ouly about half as big as r its cousin in America, makes a soft I moss nest on the ground. Its breast is a yellow, red or scarlet, much brighter than the American bird, and it sings even more sweetly, but it is of sm value as an insect destroyer. Th e American robin, on the other hand, has a much duller. quieter coat, a more I ex.tended vocabulary, sounding many r distinct notes of warning, fear, joy, etc.. but not in so sweet a song, and is C an inveterate worm and insect hunter. With only occasional lapses into vege- I tarianism, at strawberry and cherry. ripe time, the American robin is really one of the most industrious allies the t farmer 'an have. "SiZk" That I Rea!ly Tin. f Of course British critics say that the e practice of adultc'rating silk with tin j originated in Germany. At any rate. it is common enough now. All silk is mixed with more or less foreign matter to giveg weight and stability. Vegetable substances were formerly used for the purpose. In dye ir~g silk the necessary boinng reduces t its weight about one-fourth, taking out the natural gummy substances. The wv eight is sometimes restored with tan nic acid. Tin is more common-most of all in cheap black slks. Veryv soft "we sh" silks are apt to be pure. Burn a scrap, and nothing re main:s but ash. * tin weighted scrap I when carefully burned leaves a resi duuma like excessively flne wire gauze. -New York World. The Derivation of Gibraltar. In 711 A.

The idea that Mohammedanism is "played out" would be a dangerous one for statesmen to bank upon. It isn't. Mohammed began his career as a prophet more than 000 years later than the beginning of the Christian era. At present he has 170,000.000 diesiples, more than one-third as many as there are Christians'in the world. Nine hundred years ago uhere were in India no Mohammedans. Now there are 50,000,000. and they are increasing in number constantly. They are by all odds the most energetic subjects in British India. The western wave of Mohanineldan ism rolled up to the farthest corner of Spain. up to the walls of Vienna. and then began to recede, but the shri;nk ig rrocess was accompanied by ex pansion elsewhere. In Africa Mohai medanisn is steadily proselyting. Rus sia In Europe has 3,00".000 followers o the prophet. more thin there are in what is called "Turkey in Europe."
