THE Cars EYE.-This beautiful stone
was little known till within the last two
or three years it began to come into fash

worn at present in Europe than here, the
fashion having been set by the Prince Of
Wales. The true Cats Eye is cnly found
in perfection in Ceylon, though a lower
grade is obtained in some parts of Europe.
1t is drab colored, opallescent stone with
a long changeable gleam running the
whole length of the stone. A handsome
