Wood Turned 20 OPAL.

Wood, under the chemistry Of time
and the elements of nature, has often
turned to stone, but It does not often
turn into precious stones, as in the de-
posts of the western parts Of the
United States. There are deposits Of
wood turned into opal in Nevada,
which is manufactured into jewelry.
says the Christian Herald. The new
Jewel consists Of petrihed wood, the
fiber OF which has been gradually re-
placed by PARTICLES Of the silicate call
ed opal. It Is Of dark red aud blue
shades, with many flashes Of color
through it.. In the sunlight the stone
has fascinating play Of hues. Opal
escent wood is used for pendants.
brooches, rings, etc. In appearance it
rivals the precious opals that have
been found in Hungary. These opals
from Nevada are cut with convex
surface in order to bring out the play
or colors.

EVIDENTLY JOHNNY WAS NOT.
Barber's Customer Took Somewhat
Astonishing Question Literally,
and There Was Trouble.

Port Jervis had big revival meet,
ing. and among the converted was q
barber, who had been bad actor In
his day. Once he put some homemade
sea foam on q young mans hair which
turned. the hair red, and the color
didn't come out for year.
The barber confessed to this ana
other crimes. It was a hard-won con-
version, and the evangelist was elat-f
I'd. He saw . chance for passing re-
ligion on to host OF Port .Jeryis iciti-l

fishing with patron, why not say q
few words calculated to turn him into
cleaner paths? Remind each. as you
have been reminded. that while he IL
large in life he must get ready for
the end, which comes to all men.
The barber thought that was nne.
idea, and pledged himself. Then he
went back to his shop. 81
Little old Johnny Looseleaf came in
from his days work at the perfume.
factory. Johnny was afraid OF ghosts
and green horses and his wife. He
wanted his whiskers taken OF.
The barber got through with the
lathering and half OF the shave with
brief remarks about the fog and the
movement to Ill up the abandoned
canal. He was just poising the razor
over the patrons throat when it oc-
cured to him to address a few words
Of inquiry to Looseleaf concerning the
state Of his soul. sg 3

Rock PAINTING, in Tunls.

Rock paintings OF an interesting
kind In the south region OF Tunis are
described by NJ. Henri Roux and pub
ilished in the Revue Tunisienne. Ono
Of these was noticed on q rock wall In
the Djehel BLY,, which probably rep
resents q combat OF men in conven-.
tional drawing and animals which It
is difficult to identity. The age Of this
painting raises quite = controversy
among scientists, and some think that
1t is contemporary with the Berber
civilization. that Is. intermediate be-
tween the stone age and the age Of
metals. According to this idea It be-
longs in the last part OF the neolithic
period. But NJ. Roux wishes to place
It at 4 more ancient epoch and class
It in the middle or first part Of the
neolithic period, it being due to a civ.
ilization which is more ancient than
the Berbers, and M. Colbert also thinks
that 1t Is the work Of negroid people
to whom are due the fints Of the neo-
lithic age found in North Africa.

many years in a certain wild section
OF the country. was being queried
by a brother as to the church which
made most appeal to the people In
that region. He answered that the
Baptists had been most successful In

some objection to the practice Of total

country. 1t seemed to him supereroga-
tory. =ss.. SIS Il
"Ah, yes.' remarked the clergyman.
II grant you that such ceremony
