Sketching crystals Is Hue nnd delicate work, requiring much study, a sharp pointed, hard pem ll and a steady hand. First of all, having selected your nest of crystals, It is well to study all the luniks have to say about thini, their angles, cleavage planes. luster, etc., then take a large ore magnifying glass and ( Namlne them closely under It. An ui'.T.p cted world of beauty will thus ofti n be revealed. If the erysinls atv 111 a little geode or cavity, such as Is common in the zeolite da: s In volcanic rocks, you may see the l'nliy-llke cav ern lin-'d with sparkling gems, from which radhite tufts of tine silken hairs with n big gem crystal set In t lie ii'idst; sometimes the caverns contain purple gi ins of amethyst or fluorspar. Yon will observe crystals that have been stunted in I heir growth or mis shapen by the pressing against them of other stronger growing crystals. You may see line stria' or parallel lines or Indications of twinning of crystals: you will notice also the Unci of cleavage characteristic of certain crystals fin I Invisible to the naked eye also crystals that have bren broken nnd faulted and receiiientcd by min eral matter. Having thus thoroughly studied the crystals, place them on a piece or whltu paper in strong light nnd shadow. Draw the outlines clear and strong, nnd the angles and faces of the crystal sharply. Some crystals re.-emlile one another so closely, like (- t.-iln form" of calcite and quartz. th:.t only by very cai'.-ful drawing can one be distin guished from the other, especially without th" u.-e of color. Ill highly colored ores and erysinls some beauti ful realistic effects have been obtained by photo-lithography In colors, but many ores nnd crystals have r.o dis tinctive colors; then you must rely on form. Again, some forms of crystal are Identical In form with others of au entirely different order and you uiny have to distinguish tlicni by cciir. Shading, especially In transparent crys tals, should be used sparingly, except when the shadow Is very pronounced, or when the bses of the crystals de scend into tlu. dark depth. mid re cesses of the geode cavern. To bring out distinctly the forms of white ot translucent crystals it may lie well to shade a dark background back of them. Soiuetiir.es a row of quart crystals. in the centre of a vein Is locked in the embrace of an opposite set, like a ow of clench 'd teeth. Occasionally these are beautifully tlulcd with ame thyst!!:!' purple, whilst bnei: of them Is a laytr of milky white opaline quartz, agaie or chalcedony, and back of that a dense layer of red. yellow or vnrle- ated Jasper. Iu drawing crystals the main point to be aimed at Is their char acteristic shape or grouping, so that any one seeing the sketch nuiy recog nize tluni as belonging to a particular family. When crystals are very small, as In twin crystals of twin, or In crys tals of telluride ores. It Is legitimate to magnify the cry .-till so as to bring out Its distinctive features. Some ores form a series of conc-nlrle rings, like en malachite and blue nzurlte ol copper: they had betiev be represented by their natural vivid colors. M' and Minerals.

HK passing of the rtockles" 4 e-p ( picturesquely describes n SS (',la"'( 1,1 ,ll K'"gt'aphlcnl ? f conception of the United OW States which, it is Fald by nn authority, will very soon become generally acknowledged. This person maintains that there are no such mountains ns we have known ns the Itockies. that those rugged peaks ex tending In n:i unbroken chain from Mexico to I'uget Sound are really noth ing more than a geographical myth. HesltKs Upsetting the general belief In this famous long range of high mountains we are further Informed that It Is not possible to Irrigate the vast extent of country west of he Mis sissippi, and hence for I'aji'inihg pur poses (lie plateaus and valleys of the l.ockles are not advantageous homes for the Immigrants who are filling up the land. Mr. Cope Whitehouse, of New York nty, whose explorations in the Libyan Dcsut. to the west of Middle Egypt, have completely changed Its appear (nice on our maps, now denounces ns a pernicious error t lie popular represen tations of the vast plateau between the watershed of the Mississippi and the Pacific Ocean. In Egypt lie showed the feasibility of converting millions of unproductive acres Into fertile laud, snd proved that several hundred square tulles, which had been depleted as far above the level of the Nile were III fact far below the levil of the Mediterra nean. It is not a i an iconoclast, nor solely In the Interest of sclentitic truth, that h" has directed attention to his subject by preparing a map for certain inembi is of t'ongress to nld especially the Comuiltieo on Irrlgntii.u of Arid Lands. A study of United Slates maps, e?pe. dally those prepared in foreign coun tries, will show nt n glance that the Idea of this western mottntaiu range has from year to year undergone re markable changes. At first the Itockies were represented by a series of high mountain chains, extending In unbrokeu lines from north to south, and from the 1'acllle coast to the valley of the Mississippi. Appar ently these mountains were a continu ation of the Andes in South America. Later the smaller chains were pictured separated by valleys und plateaus, but still forming a line from Southern Unl ifornla to Washington. One of the newest and most truthful maps of the West, according to Mr. Whitehouse, ornaments the front window of a rail road otHce in Fifth avenue. In It the Itocky Mountains are shown In a fairly correct extension and relation, ns small and separated ranges with high peaks here Hiid there. Among the documents presented to the Committee on Arid Lands Is n map prepared by Mr. Whitehouse, wjileli Is Intended to show the objections to any fostered immigration In th plateau west of the one hundred and first de gree of longitude. The map, which Is colored by .Mr. Whitehouse, is the one published by the United States (ieo loglcal Survey, 1!H)2, and Is most cred itable to the workers under Major 1'owell and Mr. Walcott. Mr. Whitehouse has endeavored to explain by ids map why settlers should not be encouraged to make their homes on unfruitful soil, while at the game time he points out lhe neglected areas of the Appalachian range, which are both profitable and easy of access. "It is obvious." says Mr. Whitehouse, speaking of this subject, which Inter ests him so thoroughly, "that witli all the work done by the Bureau of lninil gratlon in New York and the Depart ment of Agriculture and Bureau of Sta tistics In Washington, there is no really adequate machinery for the wise utili zation of the stranger lauding in our ports. He may be passed through Ellis Island nnd saved from financial ruin for the first few days nftrr his landing, but there ought to be au examination of his habitat, ns It might be called. If he were frankly looked nt as the par ent or giaudptirent of a future genera tion. . "Tiie immigrants possesa a certain power of resistance to adverse influ ence," continued Mr. Whitehouse, "which docs not apply to the second and third generations. It would lie my Idea to furnish each one of these Immigrants with a certificate nnd n map. as au Insurance company would do If It had a policy on his or her life. There should be, according to my scheme, a map showing the area In whlc'.i the Covernnient Invited the Im migrant to live. It Is even within the limits of the same compulsion which Imposes vaccination to require bl:n to continue to live In the district assigned to him until at least he was capable of passing another examination and was declared Immune. The result of givlug a Norwegian, a Syrian and au Italian n map of the favorable, or necessary, climatic conditions would Immediately disabuse the minds of the men who are charged with Its preparation of that wonderful figment of the disor dered Imagination of the map mnkers, that there was, roughly speaking, one third of the United States which was as available for ssttlers as the bills of Pennsylvania or the plains of Iowa and Kansas. "Tho most striking feature of this scheme Is, however, a negative one, and Is best expressed by tbe reference to 'the paiilng of tbe Itockies.' An In spection of tbe map shows tbat a line drawn at an elevation of 30U0 feet la due north and aoutb. When It It con sidered that tbe plains of Illinois are under COO feet, and tbat European countries, except tbe seinl-arid parts of Spain, are to a very large extent be low tbls line, It la obrlous that Profes sor Bumpus, of tbe American Museum of Natural History, or any other lead ing authority in natural history, would never advise tbe Government to en courage these Europeans to cross the danger line of tbe Western plateau. - "Of course tbls doea not apply to Al (bit reaideuta of tbe auony and fertile Disproved. -"cS J valleys of Colorado or New Mexico nnd Oklahoma.
