On the other hand, there had also been great revival or old Iit- erature both Chinese and Japanese, due in part to the awakening of national con sciousness and partly to the reduction in the cost of printing.

Costliest Gems On Earth
From Pearson's Weekly.

oil cal SUI D "tchiys
 American women are greatly excited over the magnificent show of black opals which the Australian government has sent to the Panama exhibition.
 These exquisite gems. which were prac- tically unknown up till comparatively re- gently. cost more. carat for carat, than do diamonds even, while experts declare that they are infinitely more beautiful.
 And in this connection it may be point ed out that the term black opal' is distinctly misleading. It was coined to distinguish it from the familiar light opal" As a matter of fact, the black opal is alive with myriad shades of flaming splendor, from brightest tnts of green glowing fire to meteoric gold or lavender. that in an instant quivers to crimson, or slips into motion ruby or sapphire. as the angle of light alters.
 Black opals are 80 dear not only be- cause they are so beautiful but because they are so rare. They are found only at one spot, comparatively small tract of ground in New South Wales, adjoining the Queensland border.
 The field is called Lightning Ridge It is a wild and desolate spot The nearest towns to it are Walgett and Collaren- dabri, and 1t Is about 500 miles from Sydney as the crow flies.
 Black opal mining Is about the big gest gamble extant. There Is really noth- ing to guide the miner in selecting a likely spot. The work is hard. The shafts average 40 feet in depth. and all rock has to be "bucketed'' to the top. Water is scarce. food almost unobtain- able. On the other hand, the prospector who Is lucky enough to stumble upon a pocket or fair-sixed, fawless stones reaps a fortune forthwith.

MARIE TARNowsKA.

MARIE TARNOWSKA."
 By Anne yivanti Chartres. The Gen.
 tury company, publishers, New York.
 Hints of the Countess Marie Tarn- owska's tragic story went round the world five years ago at the time of her famous trial in Venice for instigat ing the murder of one of her lovers by another. This modern Gree. as she has been called, who "wielded a strange and irrisistible influence over men, lur- ing them to their doom" was sentenced to long term in prison, from which the King of Italy has just pardoned nurse in one of the Russian war hos pitals. Her son is a page in the Czar's imperial guard.
 The countess was visited in her prison cell by Mrs. Chartres. to whom she poured out not only the secret his tory of one of the most startling and mysterious of modern crimes but the story of her entire life The book as
 it stands is neither a defense nor an
 extenuation It is a confession, pure
 and simple; and it exposes in minutest detail the manner of life of the most
 corrupt aristocracy of Russia.
 It Is. according to the London Times "a study of the feminine temperament , in derangement and of the psychology of crime which leaves us aghast and
 disturbed. Five men figure in this
 drama along with the enigmatic coun- tess. and her husband is credited with
 having been the first to push her down hill. At little more than 16 he took
 her away from her home, let her know she was but one of many women who subserved his pleasures and plunged
 her into dissipation. With the birth of her second child her health broke down. His neglect and his jealousy brought about the customary crime passionel So she arrives at the most extraordinary relations with three in-
 fatuates. Kamarowsky supports her and treats her as his future bride but
 is kept at arms length. Prilukoff dogs
 her steps, sits gibberng at them in their
 hotel and finally establishes himself secretly in her rooms. Naumoff is gradually cajoled and fascinated At one moment when distraught at the tangle in which she has involved her self she has slammed illness and has all three men locked behind doors in the same house."
 The book was written at the sugges- tton of Prof. L. M Bossi of the Uni versity of Genoa, the Italian alienist aud gynecologist, who contributes a predatory letter urging that the coun- tess was the victim of a morbid phys ical condition and that the publication 1 of her story will be of service to science in revealing so intimately a certain type of feminine criminality which he believes to be capable of cure. Professor Bossi vouches for the general sincerity of the narrative.
 l The author. Mrs Chartres (Anne vi- vanti), is the daughter of Italian revolutionary friend Of Garibaldi and Mazzini. Her home is in England. She 1 has written poems, plays and novels. | Her poems have been translated into | most of the European languages and have commanded such distinguished ! translators as George Brandes in Dan- l ish and Paul Heyse in German. She herself writes in four languages.
