Pacific Swimmers
Infant Gives Exhibition and
Paddles About, Using All
Approved Strokes; Began
When He Was Six Weeks

Los Angeles lays claim to having the
Youngest champion aQ latic performer
~ the united States, and possibly in
me world. This young man is Richard
Headrick, the -year-old son of Mr.
and Mrs. e. Headrick
hlcnard can swim much more easily
than he can walk; in fact, he was able
10 maneuver IN the water before he
could SIT un. When he was six weeks
old ms mother discovered this strange
capacity OF her boy, which is the more
remarkable because neither of the
parents can swim. At that are she
gave Richard his first bath in a large
tub and she relates, he worked him
self out of her hands and started
swimming on his back with a perfect
stroke. The mother was not certain
whether she was seeing things" and
called IN neighbors to witness the un-
heard OF spectacle.
Like a Baby Fish
A fish could hardly have been more
at nome in the water than was this
infant, she says
=, At SIX months Richard was taken to
blmini Baths, where he gave exhibit
tlons of swimming and diving. He can
be seen at this place almost every
morning now, going through his regu-
lar exercises With no urging he
dives into the water from one of the
fountains at this bathing house and
swlms twenty-five feet with his head
completely ly under the water, using a
perfect Australian crawl stroke.
Professor Howard Schneider, swim
ming instructor at Bimni, recently
timed the infant swimmer, who regis
tered thirty y-seven feet in twelve sec
onds. The whole distance was covered
with the head completely under water
Yet Richard never swallows water
Rescues Are Attempted
The spectacle OF such an infant in
the water, especially with his head i'm
mersed and only his arms and legs
visi HE, has created many scene both
at Bimini and the various beaches and
lakes. Many women have gone into
Mysteries at sight of what they thought
was a drowning child, and men have
leaped into the water to attempt
rescues.
Richard swims IN any kind of water,
but prefers fresh water to salt The
latter makes his eyes sore, he COM
plains
No theory Of inherited powers can
explain the proclivities. Not only are
the parents Of the child not swimmers,
but even the family history fails to
disclose the remotest relative, past or
present, that can lay claim to fame in
such a capacity. The reverse is the
truth.-Los Angeles Times.

Mexico and Idaho Supply
Stores of Precious Opals
Hope Opal, One of the Most
Famous ia the World,
Taken From Persia

Mexican opals are likely soon to ap-
pear plentifully on the market again,
inasmuch as mining for them has been
resumed in the districts whence
jewellers obtained supplies before the
war.
From that source we have been ac-
customed to get most Of our fire"
opals, which are very beautiful and
brilliant, with flaming hucs This
variety, however, is less highly es-
teemed than the so-called noble" opal
which is whtish. translucent and shot
through with CLEANS of all colors of
the rainbow
Remarkably fine opals, many of them
NOBLE are obtained from the
neighborhood of Moscow, in Idaho,
where they occur in beds of volcanic
ashes. Apparently their material was
deposited by water while the ashes
were hot, and masses of cold cinder
when broken open reveal the gem
stones.
Opals are in certain respects alto
gether peculiar among gem stones, and
more interesting on that account
Whereas other gems, such as the ruby,
the emerald and the sapphire, owe
their colors to mineral elements by
which the crystals are stained, the
brilliant tints of the opal are due to
its structure, ever so many minute
cracks rejecting lights at different
angles from their edges.
An amethyst is quartz crystal
stained with manganese. Opal is
quartz crystal of another variety, con
! tanning from to Is per cent Of water.
Both are formed by the deposition of
silica from water: and it was in this
way that three molluscan shells trans
formed into opal, recently given to
Harvard University, underwent then
strange metamorphosis. The shells
were in rock; their limy material
dissolved out and was replaced, par
ticle by particle, with water-borne
silica.
The most famous gem of the kind is
the Hope opal, formerly the property
Of Henry Philip Hope. a Dutch banker
who owned the finest collection OF
precious stones ever got together. He
liquidated the national debt of Brazil
and took his pay in diamonds, which
/ originally inspired him with his hobby
Among the treasures were the cele-
brated Hope diamond and the largest
existing pearl, drop shaped and weigh
/ ing three ounces.

American millionaire) is believed to
