A very unusual argument In favor

they cannot mortgage or sell land

ingenuity of the imitator The stone
owes its charm not so much TO its own
intrinsic merits as to the splendor OF
the rays Of light it reflects. 1t has been
called .'the chameleon Of stones and il
lovers of gems. Nearly 20OO years ago
Pliny remarked that it displays at once
the piercing fires of carbuncles, the pur-
pie brilliancy of the amethysts, and the
sea green of emeralds. the whole blended
together and refulgent with a bright
ness that is quite incredible"
The opal is a stone with a temper"
The diamond rises superior to climate,
as does the ruby, the emerald, and the
sapphire. but the opal is of such deli
cate organization that when exposed to
severe cold it loses color and under the
influence Of excessive moisture becomes

the temparture of ones hand will cause
IT to resume its wonted fire and bril-
liancy, as will also be the case when II

The opal has always been invested
with much charm, mystery. and SUPER

vfded the stone was not employed to-
ward selfish ends. Misuse of the opal re-
suited in divers misfortunes. And SO
originated the notion that the opal was
unlucky. Succeeding generations have
kept alive this superstition. which has
been utilized by many writers, among
whom may be mentioned Sir Walter
Scott. by whom. in Anne Of aelerstein."
