TO SELL QUEEN'S JEWELS.
From the Crown Used at' the
Coronation. Paste .Will Be
Put in their Place.
London Aug. 14. Many elabor-
ate descriptions have been printed
this week of the crown which the
archbishop of York placed on the
head of Queen Alexandra in West-
minister abbey last Saturday but
the facts has hitherto not been 're-
vealed that all the diamonds in it
except the famous Koh-I-Noor will
soon be placed on sale. The wives
of American millionairics may
therefore deck themselves with
diamonds which ornamented the
crown of Queen Alexandra.
As the crown will not be used
again when it is put among the
the other regalia in the Tower of
London its 3088 stones will be dis-
placed by jnaste jewels. The dia-
monds some of which weigh seven-
teen karats each and some of which
are small were collected by the
Carringtons the Regent street
jewelers none except the Koh-I-Noor
belonging to the siate.
The king and queen can scarcely
afford to keep in their possession
such a bauble worth as it is several
thousand pounds and they have
given the jewelers authority to sell
the stones. Each will be sold with
aguarantee that it was used in the
queen's head.
COAL! COAL!
The first thought in regard to
coal is that it is made to give heat
or warmth; the next that one of
its principal uses is to illuminate.
But there are obtained from it the
means ol producing over 400 colors
or shades of colors among the chief
of which are saffron violet blue
and indigo. There is also obtained
a great variety of perfumes -cinnamon
bitter almonds queen of the
meadows clove wintergrcen. anise
camphor thymol (a new French
odor) vaniline and- heliotropine.
Some of these are used for flavor-
ing. Among the explosive agents whose
discovery has been caused by tjie
war spirit of the last few years in
Europe are two called dinitroben-
zine or bellite and picrates. To
medicine coal has given salicylic
acid naphtnol phenol and antipy-
rine. Benzine and napthaline are
powerful inseetcides.
There have been found' in it am-
moniacal salts useful as fertilizers
tanning saccharine (a substitute
for sugar) the Havor of currants
rasberry and pepper: pyrogallic
acid and hydroquinine used in
photography; and various substan-
ces familiar or unfamiliar such as
Ntar resin asphaltum lubricating
oils varnish and the bitter taste of
beer.
By means of some of these we can
have wine without the juice of the
grape beer without malt preserves
without jjj0&im!&! or sugar per-
fumes without flowers and coloring
matters withlut vegetable or ani-
mal substancemor which the" have
been hitherto clnwlv derived.

KILLED ON AUTOMOBILE
American Millionaire and Wife
Victims of Fearful Accident.
Evreaux France August 14.
Mr. and Mrs. Charles Fair Ameri-
cans who were related to Mrs. AV.
K. Vanderbilt Jr. (Miss Virginia
Fair) were returning to Paris from
Trouville when their automobile
swerved and crashed into a tree
fifteen miles from here. Both were
killed.
The chauffeur became insane as
a consequence of the shock.
Mr. and Mrs. Fair had been stay-
ing at Trouville during racing week.
They had a very fast forty-five-horse
power automobile which at-
tracted considerable attention and
with which they were highly pleas-
ed. Mr. Fair had been from Trou-
ville to Paris and back again in
one day one machine.
The accidenoccurred at half
past 2 o'clock this afternoon and
almost in front of the Chateau Ruis-
son du Mai. The Fairs intended to
dine and spend the night in Paris
and return to Trouville for luncheon
tomorrow.
The wife of the gatekeeper of the
chateau was the only witness of
the disaster. She says she noticed a
big red automobile coming along
the road at a tremendous pace.
Suddenly something happened and
the heavy machine slid sideways
from the right to the left lide of the
road for about sixty vary. It then
dashed up an embanknpnt turned
a complete somersault and crashed
into a big elm tree in front of the
gate of the chateau. The automobile
was completely wrecked the front
axle was broken and other parts of
the machine were smashed includ-
ing the steering gear. When the
automobile turned over the wife of
the gatekeeper says she saw Mr.
and Mrs. Fair thrown high in the
air and fail with a heavy thud to
the ground. The chauffeur who was
sitting behind the Fairs was pre-
cipitated into a ditch. Pie stagger-
ed to his feet calling for help. The
gatekeepers's Avife rushe'd to his as-
sistance and aided him in extricat-
ing Mr. and Mrs. Fair who were
buried beneath the wrecked ma-
chine and in the last throes of
death. Both had sustained ghastly
injuries and were almost unre-
cognizable. N
BODIES TERRIBLY CRUSHED.
Mr. Fairs head had been crush-
ed in while his wife's skull was
split. The chauffeur was terribly af-
fected at the calamity and seemed
bereft of his senses. He threw him-
self ito a ditch on the opposite side
of the road and rolled about crying
"My poor masters."
' M. Borson owner of the chateau
Riiison du Mai was summoned and
after advising the local authorities
of the accident he ordered the
bodies of Mr. and Mrs. Fair to be
carried to the gatekeepers's lodge.
Here they now lie on mattresses
and flowers have been strewn over
them. In the room are- three wax
tapers burning dimly. The accident
was evidenttyjlue to. the bursting
of .a tire. At the time it occurred
the automobile which was capable
of running seventy-four miles an
hour was going at the rate of sbcty-
twt miles an honr.
The local police authorities hold
in their possession and have sealed
up a valise belonging to the Fairs;
which contain jewelry two letters
of credit a French bank note worth
$200 and some gold coins.
j TRYING VOYAGE ENDED.
Two Men Grossed the Atlantic m a
Small Kertosene
Launch.
Falmouth England. August 14.
Captain Newman and his son
Edward arrived here tonight in
the 3S-foot kerosene launch Abiel
Abbott Low in which they sailed
from New York Juiy 9. In an.
interview with a representative ot
the Associated Press Captain
Newman said: "The launch' has
proved herself a noble boat but we
experienced awful times since we
left New York. Several times in
terrible gales we ne&rly lost our
drag anchor owing to the gear
chafing away. We voyaged 3103
miles. We had great trouble with
the kerosene because the tanks
which held it broke and the oil
flooded the cabin. My boy become
ill and homesick. I suffered greatly
from exposure and long sitting in
one position. We spoke the Amer-
ican line steamer Groonland Aug-
ust 1 in mid-Atlantic. After this
we encountered a series of severe
gales and the hardships were so
great that I feared we would not
survive. We did not speak another
wsel until August 13 when we
met a fisherman ninetv miles off
the Scilly islands. Those last
ninety miles were the longest I
ever ran in my life. I would not
hesitate however to try the voyage
again.
The vovagers rarelv used the sail
on the launch. Captain Newman
lost thirty pounds in weight in the
trip but his son seems to have
derived benefit from the experience.
A MONTH IN AEgTH.
At Kawaneka a tiny Spring near
Ikao in the Province of Joshu
Japan the bathers stay in the wa-
ter for a month on end Avith a
stone on their laps to prevent theni
from floating in their sleep and
the caretaker of this establishment
who is a hale old man of eighty is
in the habit of remaining in the bath
during the whole winter.
Elsewhere also indulgence in
this natural luxury is carried to al-
most incredible extremes. Some of
the people at one of the Japanese
springs excusing themselves to a is-
itors for being dirty on the score of
only having leisure to bathe tAvice
a day informed them that it Avas
their custom to bathe four or five
time a day in the winter adding:
"The children get into the bath
Avhenever they feel cold."
Ordinary hot water bathing is a
national institution. In 1890 there
Avere over 800 public baths in the
city of Tokyo in Avhich it was cal-
culated 300000 persons bathed dai-
ly at a cost of about a cent AA-ith a
reduction for children.
Other cities and villages through-
out Japan are similarly provided
with public baths. EATery respect-
able house too. has its bath-room.
The Avater is heated to about 110
degrees Fahrenheit. Some of the
springs reach 130 degrees.
IT ALL pEPENDS.
'You see boys" said a scientific
lecturer "that two and two always
make four and nothing else.
"0 yes they do "cried the young-
ster "they sometimes make 22.
