HUNTING FOR BLACK 0?2Ls
Gem Is Found In R1atrix Of Grcnstone
and Sandstone In Australia
9apphires 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 matrfx of tronatone
and sandstone jim the lightning Ridge
district Of New South Wales IT is
estimated that since 1880 opals val
usd at over @5,500,000 have been foand
in the state OF New South Wales The
state Of Queen land also produces
many opals, the production up to the
present time amounting to nearly
$1,000,000
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
then the oriental sapphire. In Queens
land the present production amounts
to about $4,000 per year, the total
output to date being about S700,000
Other precious gems found in diff
ferent parts Of Australia include emer-
aids, turquoises, topazas, 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 $500,Q00
These diamonds found locally are
used mostly for glass cutting, while
South African diamonds are mostly
used in the jeWeiry trade. Pearls
found in pearl shall fishing along the
northern coast of Australia are usual
.ly small but their aggregate value is
probably considerable

ALL AUTHORS ARE TALKATlVE
If You Know One, Be Tactful and Lei
Him Converse About His
Work

I know nothing about really great
authors, but l think I speak for a
large number Of the followers of the
trade when ] say that they like to
talk about their work, one great. rea-
son being that writing is a lopely 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 viii be sorry. Therefore,
when the writing is done, and a sym
pathetic listener offers, the writer is
glad to wipe out some of the lonely
hours with little conversation.
So, if you know an author, don't be
too breathless aboutshis calling; treat
him like a 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
it is so interesting to write 1t must
be just fascinating when your man1-
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
really did not care ever to speak
of it again. So I repeat let the poor
author talk, but be tactful-Atlantic

Stevenson, While Fighting Of Dis,
ease There, Seemed Indifferent
to the Laws Of Health.


Robert Louis Stevenson, for so wise
a 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 oYerheated 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 a lion in a den. Fashionable call
ers were specially unweIcome. and
Stevenson once remarked, according
to an account in the Medical Record,
that cit isn't the great unwashed
which dread, but the great washed"
But whoever else was unwelcone
there was always a greeting for Rich,
ard Mansfield tt is an impressive, al.
most a tremendous picture, that OF the
cIouded room fitfulIy lit by the flames
of the log fire and Stevenson huddled
close to the warmth while Mansfield

New York, Aug The prohibitive

Less than 2 per cent OF the cotton
