MANY CLEVER THEORIES TO ACCOUNT ro
THE SPLENDOE OF THE GEM.

MANY CLEVER THEORIES TO ACCOUNT FOR
THE sPLENDoK OF THE GEM.
From the St. Louis Globe Democrat.
The mineralogists and biologists have of.
fered many very clever theories to account for
the splendor Of the opal, but no one has COM
pietely satisfied everybody, and perhaps never
will. 1t is conjectured that 1t is due either to
the presence of water in its composition or to
the diSintegration of the lamfnse or layers of
the stone, but even this is not certainly known
The Turks believe that the gem is Of celestial
origin, and thus escape all difficulties at once.
INC bn ep dis
precious stones i'll Arabia, Syria and perhaps
other parts Of Asia, from which the ancients OBJ
Central America and Mexico abound in opal
bearing districts, which are much more abund-
ant than might be supposed; but perhaps the
Hungary. The fire. opal is found in the
greatest perfection IN the porphyrite rocks
neaietz IS he most Of Ups this
also the most sensitive, and is frequently
ruined beyond hope or repair by damp or exc
weather. There Is probably no gem, however.
which is more subjet to injury fhan the opal.
Exposure to the light Injuries it very materially.
though there Is not one thing strange about
this. the fact being true also of amethyst. the
garnet and OF almost all other precious colored
stones.
Hungarian mines. When first extracted nom
their native matrix, the gems are soft, friabie.
tender and easily broken. The arst thing to be
done is TO expose them to the air and light f0r .
few days, until they have become hard. and then
their coiors begin TO appear. At the same time
this change takes place in the gem, It becomes
also reduced In size from the evaporation or the
quarry water contained In It's veins. Great
care must be exercised In drying the stone, OF It
will split and crack in q thousand directions,
and become utterly worthless. II 10 also liable 70
another calamity, 4 exposed 70 high tam
perature-that Is, Of losing tridesCence, and,
when this once happens, the stone y aheoautely
worthless

Comfort.
Hast thou Ger the clear heaven Of thy soul
Seen tempeStS roll:
Hast thon watch all the hopes thou wouIdst have
Fade, one by one?
Wait till the clouds past then raise thine eyes
To bluer skies!
Hast thou gone sadly through a dreary night,
And found no light;
No guide, no star TO cheer thee through the plain
No friend save pain?
Wait, and thy soul shall see, when most forlorn,
1uSe new morn.
Hast thou beneath anothers stern control
Bent thy sad soul,
And wasted sacred hopes and precious tears?
Yet calm thy fears,
For thou canst gain even from the bitterest part,
stronger heart
Has Fate o'erwhelmed thee with some sudden blow!
Let thy tears flow
But know when storms are past, the heavens appear
Mere pure, more clear;
And hope, when firthest from their shining rays,
For brighter days.
Hast thou found life a cheat, and worn In vain
Its iron chain:
Hast thy soul bent beneath earths heavy bond?
Look thou beyond;
II life Is bitter there forever shine
Hopes more divine!
Art thou alone! and does thy soul complain
1t lives In vain:
Not vainy does he live who can endure.
q be thpp sure
That he who hopes aud suffers here can earn
4 sure return.
Hast thou found nought within thy troubled life
Save inward strife?
Hast thou found all she promised thee, Deceit,
And Hope cheat?
Endure and there shall dawn within thy breast
Eternal rest.
