HUNTING FOR BLACK oPALS
Gem Is Found in Matrix Of, lronstone
and Sandstone in Australia
Sapphires Rank Next.

The gem most sought after in Aus
tralia is the black opal, declares a
writer in the Daily Consular and
Trade Reports. 1t appears in limited
quantities in the matrix Of ironstone
and sandstone in the lightning Ridge
district Of New South Wales 1t is
estimated that since 1890 opals val
ued at over $5,500,000 have been found
in the state of New South Wales. The
state of Queensland also produces
many opals, the production up to the
present time. amounting to nearly
S1,000,000
Sapphires rank next among Aus
tralian gems in value of production.
They are found in New South Wales
and in Queensland, chiefly in the lat
ter state, in the gravel or creek beds.
The gems show excellent fire and
luster, but the color is darker blue
than the oriental sapphire. In Queens
land the present production amounts
to about $4,000 per year, the total
output to date being about 100000.
Other precious gems found in diff
ferent parts of Australia include emer-
aids, turquoises, topazes, ircons, gar
nets, rubies, amethysts, tourmalines
and beryls Diamonds are found to a
limited extent in New South Wales
and in South Australia. In the latter
state the total production up to date
has been somewhat over S500,000.
These diamonds found locally are
used mostly for glass cutting, while
South African diamonds are mostly
used in the jewelry trade. Pearls
found in pearl shall fishing along the
northern coast Of Australia are usual
ly small, but their aggregate value is
probably considerable.

Kinq's Watch in Pawn.

A time-honored London tavern, the
Castle, at the corner of CoWcross
street, facing harrington street, en-
joys the unique distinction of being
also a fully-licensed pledge shop.
Over a door in the bar, which gives
access to the landlords private room,
and thrown into bold relief by the
official document behind it, the his.
toric three-sphered symbol is dis
cernible. Anyone may here negotiate
a loan upon his personal belongings
without being under the necessity OF
first calling for refreshment.
This strange combination Of bust.
ness dates from the reign Of George
~, who, after attending a cock fight
at Hockley-in-the-Hole applied to the
landlord of the castle for a temporary
accommodation on the security Of his
watch and chain.
BY royal warrant few days later
he invested that obliging boniface
with the right of advancing money on
pledges, and from that time down. to
the present a pawnbroker's license
has been annually granted to the
Castle. This hostelry is mentioned
once or twice by Dickens.-Stray

r. L. S. IN THE ADIR0NDACKS
Stevenson, While Fighting Off Dis.
ease There, Seemed Indifferent
to the Laws of Health.

Robert Louis Stevenson, for SO wise
man, seems to have been singularly
unaware of, or Indifferent to, the laws
Of health, but that, too, may have
been part of his wisdom. He spent
the winter of 1887 in the Adirondacks
struggling against the disease which
was not to subdue him for seven
years. He lived in a little cottage that
was much overheated and from which,
all ventilation was carefully excluded.
The smoke of his incessant cigarettes
Obscured the atmosphere and perhaps
helped to drive away the visitors who
came to gaze upon him as one gaZes
at lion in a den. Fashionable call
ers were specially unwelcome and
Stevenson once remarked, according
to an account in the Medical Record,
that "it isn't the great unwashed
which I dread, but the great washed"
But whoever else was unwelcome
there was always greeting for Rich
ard Mansfield. 1t is an impressive, al
most a tremendous picture, that of the
clouded room fitfulIy lit by the flames
of the log fire and Stevenson huddled
close to the warmth while Mansfield
at the other end of the rooom gave his
weird impersonation of DR.. Jekyll
and Mr. Hyde. 1t must have been like
God looking upon his handiWork and
finding it good.

FIRM SUPPORT FOR HAMMOCK
Neither Trees Nor Porches Needed
When Using ContriVance Recently
Invented by Tennessee Man.

1t is no longer necessary to have
trees or a porch in order to swing a
hammock. A Tennessee man has in
vented a hammock support which not
only has all the advantages of the
natural support but shade, but in
oludes many virtues of its own This
contrivance consists Of two bars, tel
escoping one on the other At one
end of each bar is a pedestal on which
stand uprights, shaped like the letter
Duncan Arizonian., 1913-02-05

"A" To the tops of these uprights
the hammock is swung Advantages
of this support are that the two ends
can be moved as far apart or as close
together as the telescoping bar. will
permit, and the uprights may be CIV
en- any slant desired by means of
brace rods, which fit into holes bored
at intervals along the bottom. The
whole thing can be taken apart and
folded into a small space when not
in use or can be put up in the house
as well as outdoors. A canopy can be
made to shield any person using the
hammock from the sun.

ALL AUTHORS ARE TALKATIvE
Him Converse About His
Work.

I know nothing about really great
authors, but l think l speak for a
large number of the followers Of the
trade when 1 say that they like to
talk about their work, one great rea-
son being that writing is a lonely pro-
fession. If you write, as a rule you
must do it by yourself; or if you do
attempt it in company, you or the
company will be sorry. Therefore,
when the writing is done, and SYM
pathetic listener offers, the writer is
glad to wipe out some of the lonely
hours with a little conversation
So, if you know an author, don't be
too breathless about his calling; treat
him like human being. Let him talk
little, and do not be shocked if he
manages to keep the tears back when
be tells you about his last short
story. Only, be tactful.
Do not say, as an eager 'acquaint-
Rnce once said to me: ooh, I do think
1t is SO interesting to write. 1t must
be just fascinating when your manu-
scripts come back!" I discovered af-
terward that she meant proofs in
stead Of manuscripts, but the mistake
of just that single word made me,
who am usually so garrulous about
my trade, feel for the time being that
Of it again. So I repeat, let the poor
author talk, but be tactful.-Atlantic
Monthly.

Abroad. but Americans Pay Ex-
orbtant Price For Home Goods Be-
cause Of Deception and Prohibitive
Tariff.
BY ROBERT KENNETH MAC LEA,
Formerly consulting expert of the tariff
board.I
New York, Aug. The prohibitlve
tariff. revised upward by the Payne,
Aldrich law. permits and fosters
wholesale frauds upon the American
consumer of cotton goods.
Less than per cent Of the cotton
fabrics consumed in the United States
comes from abroad, because the pro,
tective duties have been made so high
that importation is Improbable.
Yet fully one-third OF the cotton
piece goods going over retail counters
is solS< as >"lMPORTED" or under
names Enplving a foreign origin
This deception is generally perpe-
trated upon the consumer for the pur-
pose of obtaining exorbitant prices for
domestic goods.
The consumer, believing the goods
are imported and knowing that the
tariff adds excessively to their cost,
pays 80 to 100 per cent more than a
fair price and does not suspect that he
is being cheated.
Drains the Pocketbook.
Let us go straight to a specific ex.
