AZ Least SO Many Persons Say who
Hayc Had Experience.

The silly superstition about opals-that
they bring i'll luck-dies hard. In fact,
although Queen Victoria has taken a firm
stand against II, and proves her position
by making presents of opal jewelry to her
friends and relatives, there are many who
think that it is increasing. The supersti-
tion and the arrival within a year of a
bushel or so OF opals from Australia, un-
surpassed in color, have had a tendency to
lower the price OF these lovely gems, and
some dealers are willing to dispose OF
their stock OF them for less than their
cost. One jeweler, who formerly sold a
good many, refuses to keep them any
longer. al haven't an opal in the place."
said he.
Mind, I'm rot in the least affected by
this idea of opals bringing bad luck, for
love the stones, and would as lief have an
opal on my finger as diamond, but they
are running down in value and have but
few buyers, so that il does not pay me to
keep them and, besides, women come
back here with opal rings and pins that
sold to them years ago and demand to
change them for something else, because
in the meantime their pet cats have died,
or their babies have had Group, or their
neighbors have expressed horror at their
temerity in wearing forbidden gem. In
other words, they want to exchange worn
and unstable goods for things that are
newer and of more value, and in cases
where they are good customers l have to
submit to it."
One man in Brooklyn took the opal out
of his ring and smashed il to atoms with
hatchet because he had failed in busi-
ness.
While Sir Walter Scott did something
to give the opal bad name by his ac-
count of it in "Anne of Geierstein," it
was held in distrust long before his time
1t was considerably in use in Venice at
the time OF the plague, and il was noticed
there in the hospitals that before death
the stone would sometimes brighten on
the victims finger. IL never seemed to
occur to the people that the illness could
produce the glow of color; they took it
for granted that the stone occasioned the
illnesss. AS a matter OF fact, opals are
affected by heat, even by that OF the hand,
and the fever, being at its height just be-
fore death, caused the colors to shine with
unwonted clearness.
This confirmed the superstition, and to
this day there are sane and able bodied
people who believe that chip of stone
in the house can cause calamities. Some
times IL seems as il mankind had not
gone far beyond its swaddling clothes AZ
yet. Probably another reason for the
distrust excited in opals is the fact that
they change and lose their color. This
has its cause in the softness and porous
ness OF the material and its capacity both
for absorbing water and of parting with
what it has, one OF which transformations
tends 10 make 10 dull, the other chalhy

black in color yet exhibiting iridescent
flashes, was cut into handsome stones,
but on opening the papers that contained
them few weeks later il was discovered
that they had crumbled into powder
