TO RESTORE OPAL TO FAVOR COPY OF THE MATrERHoRN
Js~sIsrs Plan to Remove silly Super
stltion Connected with esauti-
fuI Stone.

The tendency Of late to rid the opal
Of the foolish superstition that has
chung to It for so many years Is the
result Of a reform movement begun by
the jewellers and art workers who ap-
prsciate its great beauty. At first the
opal was not considered to be in any
way connected with misfortune, but
was supposed to embody all the vir-
tues Of the, other stones, a. 1t con-
tanned all their colors. It was also be-
hevsd to share with the turquoise the
sympathetic power of revealing the
owners state Of health. II 1t turned
pale tho owner was Ill, and II II brigh-
toned up perceptibly he was on the
road to recovery.
The opal's reputation for misfortune
dates back about six or seven centur-
les. when 1t was used in the crown Of
. Fsigning prince. Through some
chemical process the stones began to
contract and finally dwindled away
and foil out Of their setting. This bad
omen. followed by the destruction Of
the principality, resulted in the con-
domination Of the opal.
