EARTH,S MOST COSTLY GEMS

DesoIate Spot.

American women were greatly ex'
cited over the magnificent show OF
black opals which the Australian gov.
eminent sent to the Panama exposi'
ton.
These exquisite gems, which were
practically unknown up till compare
lively recently, cost more, carat for
carat, than do diamonds even, while
experts declare that they are superbly
beautiful.
And in this connection 1t may be
pointed out that the term black opar'
is distinctly misleading. 1t was coined
to distinguish it from the familiar
light opal" AS matter Of fact the
black opal is alive with myriad shades
of flaming splendor, from brightest
tints of green glowing fire to meteoric
gold or lavender, that in an instant
quivers to crimson, or slips into mol

Kovno has shared in the expansion
caused by the demands of the present
generation of Russians for home in
dustry of sufficient development to
hasten the supply of the young nation
with the material element Of modern
civilization. II has developed several
important metal industries, and has
large factories producing nails, wire
barbed wire and machines. 1t has also
developed a large commission bust
ness, and was an important entrepot
for timber, cereals, fax, flour, spirits
fish, coal and building stone, products
of trade between western Russia and
Prussia. 1t has a population of about
$4,000. Kovno was founded in the
eleventh century, and, between 1884
and 1898, 1t was a possession of the
Teutonic knights.

early part OF the tenth century, but
is first mentioned as the chief fortified
town of the Lithuanians in 1928. 1t
was the nucleus about which the great
Lithuanian power grew, and capital
in which the ancient religious service
was continued until the end of the
fourteenth century. The god Perkunas
was housed here in a splendid temple
and protected his people in their
swamp and woodland until the temple
was destroyed ruthlessly in 1887 by
Prince Jagiello after his conversion
and baptism.
Wars, plague and destructive fires
have played havoc with the city's
prosperity and growth. 1t was nearly
ruined altogether in the seventeenth
century, during the struggle between
Russia and Poland. Russia finally
took possession of the city in 1895,
after Poland's partition. The Poles
of Wilma aided the uprisipgs against
their Russian overlords in 1881 and in
1868, and bitter punishment was ad-
ministered for this by the cars gov
eminent. The native Russian element
in the city is small. 1t is estimated
that mort than so per cent of the
population is Jewish, while the Lithu-
anians and Poles make up the greatest
part Of the remainder.
Something About koVno.
Kovno, the key to the~railway sys-
tenn of northwest ern Russia, Is the
central fortress in the Russian north
western chain of frontier strongholds.
It stands at the confluence of the Me
men and the Viliya rivers, east of
central East Prussia. Petrograd lies
$50 miles by railroad to the northwest,
while behind Kovno, and between this
fortress and Petrograd, the Russian
plain Is strewn as thickly with lakes
as fallow meadow lands are with July
and August daisies. Mitau, Kovno,
Grodno and Lemberg lie nearly in the
same line, north and south.
The railway from Eydtkuhnen, East
Prussia, to Wilma runs through Kovno,
and at its terminus joins the trunkline
between Warsaw and Petrograd. Kov.

wilma is a city of 10000, an indus

midst OF a region Of tangled forests
almost impossible marshes and low
lying lakes, at the intersection Of the

and from Libau, the Baltic port, to

of Grodno and Dvinsk, two other

railway. Petrograd lies 436 miles
away to the north-northwest Of Wilma,

The city is an ancient one, OF which
fact it's appearance bears every testi-

knot of low hills upon which the city
is built in accordance with the tradi-
tional aimlessness of the middle ages.
It's streets are narrow and not espe-
cially well-kept. It wears, however, a
general air of comfortable prosperity;
for wilma sends large quantities Of
goods to the Black sea and to the Bal

ness in grains and timber, articles
which 1t exported before the present
war in great quantities to Germany, to
Holland and to England. It also has

ExpansIveness Of Compound Interest.
The wealth of the world grows very
slowly and the amount of real saving
is amazingly small. IT, for example,
the wealth Of the United States when
George Washington became president
was equivalent to a billion dollars
land that perhaps is not bad guess)
and this amount could have steadily
earned little over five per cent every
year since, this gain, compounded,
would exceed the present estimated
wealth of this country. This means
that all the rest of the saving and the
gains from new enterprises and a rap
idly increasing population have only
just about balanced the annual waste
and loss. True, more than two-thirds
of the wealth of nations is still the
human machine and not the visible
taxable property. But the fact serves
to show how slight is the annual gain
even in the premier get-rich quick

ply was the teacher, and her work
is reported in a neat and careful
manner.
= The dates set for the seventh
and eight grade examinations are
March 3Oth and 31th. The Sc.
ayenth grade examination will be
given in the various schoolhouses
throughout the county, while the
eighth grade, will be given in the
various o. towns. Only applicants
-. from schools holding less than
nine months of school will be ad-
mitted to these examinations.
There will be a later examination
for applicants in the seventh and
eight grade who are attending
schools having nine months in the
term.
The spring conference of the
county superintendent is to be
held the last week in April this
year at Pierre. One of the big
topics that will come up at this
conference will be the question of
revising the state course of study
We will be glad to hear from Bon
Homme County teachers on any
part of the course thought best to
revise. In sending in suggestions
please give arguments for proposed
changes.
This is the springtime of the
year and every school child should
be on the lookout for the return
of the first robin. Many schools
keep an observation list on which
is set down the dates of arrival of
each kind of bird. This is COM
mendable and should be encourag-
ed everywhere.

Owing to delayed train service,
the county superintendent was I'M
able to be present at the Spring
