Here and There.

Lovers Of gems In gem. .strewn Oxford
County may be interested In the newly
found opals grown on trees; but don't
get the idea one can 90 out into the
woods and shake the opal trees and get
gems. These opals grew on trees that
fourisbed and fell ages ago-fell into
swamp land to be covered by water and
mud. Charged heavily with . solution
OF silica which petrifled and changed the
nature of the wood until 1t became opal.
These trees grew ir Humboldt County,
Nevada, several thousand years ago, and
some of the stones are now on exhibition
in the American Museum of Natural
History, New York.
Just now ouija boards are in the lime.
light. Sir Oliver Lodge brought them
there, but very few people, however,
realize how very much they are there.
Some people take them seriously and q
great many people take them as joke;
but taken either way there are Q great
many OF them In existence. Now the
State OF Maine is quite a factor In the
ouija board business. Not that our peo.
pie are more mystically inclined than
those of other states, but because our
trees seem to be. Over In Bridgtop, Just
across the line from Oxford County, there
is ood.working shop where crew of
FIVE men have been busy for several yesrr
making the travellers, as the little heart
shaped boards are called, and the three
little legs upon which 1t rests. This
shop has done nothing else during the
time mentioned, and It now looks as
though they would do nothing else for
some little time to come, as the latest
order received was for half million OF
the travellers. These little boards are
made OF thin pine lumber. Perhaps It
is because OF this that the ouija board
receives Its mystic, illusive, fascinating
quality. When one listens to the wind
coughing through them It is not so hard
to believe them to be mediums with the
spirit world.
Oyeralls are the thing to wear now.
Carpenters, painters, plumbers and men
Of other like callings have worn them
for 10, these many years, and now doc-
tors, lawyers and ministers are taking
them up because they want the public
to believe they can earn almost ss much
as mon Of the above calllngs and belong
to the same sristocracy. The wearing

CICOTTE TO PLAY
 PART OF SQUAWkER
Baseball Player Will Not Be Pun
 iShed for His CrOOkedneSS

Chicago. Nov. 17.-Eddie Cicotte, former pitcher of the Chicago White Sox, whose confession resulted in numerous indictments by the Special Cook county grand jury in connection with the 1919 Worlds Series scan dal, probably will not be punished for his part in the gamo throwing, &C., cording to officials of the state att torney's office.
 Cicotte will turn states evidence when the men indicted are tried. and his only sentence will be banishment from organized baseball.
 D. r. Cassaday of Detroit, Ci- cotte's attorney. conferred yesterday with state attorneys over the pitch CTS confession and possible testimony. At this conference. according to state officials. Mir. Cassaday promised that Cicotte would tell the court the same story he told the jury. As a result, it was arranged for the pitcher to furnish bonds without personally ap- bearing.
 While no official announcement was made by the state attorneys office. an official let it become known that but for Cicotte's testimony the jury never would have had sufficient evil dence to indict more than one or two persons and that there would be lit- tie chance for conviction without the pitcher as state witness.
 Before Cicotte confessed we had reams of hearsay evidence" said this official last night, but none of 1t would have held in court We might have returned a few indictments on it, but that would have been the end of the case We wanted convictions and not indictments, and in order to get the evidence necessary we had to have a confession.
 We were certain Cicotte knew more than many others whose names had been given us, so we went after him. Of course. we have to concede something to such. a witness, and wed rather see Cicotte free and con- vict tho rest than to let them all get away
