THE OPAL THE GEM OF THE DAY
1t Is a Soft Stone and Requires Frequent
pOlisbinr

"Some people claim that the trade in
opals has increased 500 per cent in the
last three years." said a wellknown
dealer This is an eXaggeration. While
] don't know exactly what the figures
are, should say that it hadn't increased
more than 300 per cent. There's been
wonderful revolution, though. in the
opal business. 1t used to be a rare thing
for man or woman to come in here
to purchase jewels who wasn't afraid
to wear an opal; now it's rare thing
to find a person who is afraid of one. OF
course. there are good many who
haven't been able to wipe out the super
stition of several generations, but the
extreme beauty of the opal is convert
ing them just as it has the others. Peo-
pie simply could no longer resist the
beauty of this stone.
Now. look at this stone (holding up
one an inch long). There is not pret-
tier one in this city, but it isn't Hun
sarian opal. For many years the Hun
garian mines supplied the world and
the supply there is very limited, so it is
a rare thing nowadays to see one of
those old Hungarian gems that look like
beautiful soap bubbles. Most of our
opalS come from the mines of Austria
liza. A few years ago we Americans
thought we had struck fine opal mines
in Idaho, but / haven't even so much
as heard of an opal from there in the
last six months, so I'm inclined to think
that the first pocket was the best las is
often the case in gold, silver and other
mines.
"The most popular ways of setting the
opal is in finger rings and necklaces,
but superstitition has been so far re-
versed that a woman who can't afford
these things will buy a simple little stick
pin or pinkie ring, set with an mex
pensive stone, to wear as good luck
stone.
Customers come in and tell the most
marvellous stories about how the opal
changes it's color. OF course, it does. 1t
is very soft stone and wears off. A lit
tie polishing restores it to it's natural
brilliancy. Then they want us to guar
antee that the opals they buy won't
crack. No gem expert would guaran-
tee the finest opal that ever was taken
out of the earth. The stone consists of
millions Of infinitesimal fractures and
shows it's colors on exactly the same
principle that piece of broken ice does
How could one guarantee a stone form
ed in such a way? Gem experts have
seen other crystals besides opals do
queer things; for instance, the diamond
emerald or ruby. Another notion is

Agricultural building being 300x200 feet.
The Commerce building is sol feet in
width and 256 feet in depth. The style
of architecture Is based on the Corinthian
and Ionic orders of the Graeco- Roman.
The interior is divided into aisles and
nave, the former being twenty-five feet
and the latter forty-five feet high. The
central pavilion is two stories in height,
the second story forming a gallery on
either side overlooking the nave. This
gallery Is reached by four broad stair

that water changes opals. This is not
true. If woman washed her hands
several times a day without removing
an opal ring, of course the stone would

the Chidren's building. which is being

like the one at the recent Atlanta eX-

country are being eaten up is in supply
ing timber for railway timber work
There are 200 miles of trestle structure
work in the United States, according to
an estimate by the forestry division
This trestle work has to be replaced en-
tirely every nine years on an average,
and every year timber amounting to
200 900, ,000 feet, board measure, is used
for this purpose. Nearly all the timber
is cut from the largest and finest trees
The annual expenditure on this work
is estimated at about $7,000,000.
