The names of precious stones reach so far back in the depths of time that their original meaning cannot be traced. This is true of the word "em- erald." So far as seems to be known. 1t is a derivation or a variant of sanskrit word meaning precious stone, but no doubt the people who spoke Sanskrit gave 1t the name be- cause of something which the stone meant to them. It may have been given this name because of its color. its hardness. it's rarity or because ol something which it symbolized. IL may be that the ancient and eaered hnfus age of India adopted the word from some older language and that in the and its name the first sihniicance of of the name had been lost. The Greeks adopted the word "eperald" and it seems to have had no other signiiicafcs to them than to us. being merely the name by which one might identify . particular stone. N
 The same condition is found in the case of the word opal" IL meant 10 the Greeks particular and beautiful stone. Distinguished students of lan- guage can but conjecture what the word "opaP meant in. the beginning of its use. It may have been some ancient word signlfying q multitude Of colors, or peculiar irridescent dus- Ire, but that is mere guessing.
 The word diamond" is sought to be | explained as meaning -something ex- | ceedingly hard which may. be seen | through" and is said to have been formed of the Greek words "dia, . which through" and "adamant. " which stands for extreme hardness. Is is fairly plausible but it is probable that the word 'diarnond' or something like 1t may be found Sin a langauEe older than Greek. Pearl" is thought by some writers to come from the Latin "Pirula.' meaning "a little pear" be- cause 50 many fine pearls were pear
 shaped. Ruby is thought to have
 been SO called from -ruber." the Latin
 for red" but 1t may be that the word 1 "ruber," meaning red. was derived iron

disappointment to the many who had hoped fqr lower rate in view of pres lent falling costs and prices, 1t is pointed out that much of the money to be raised has been spent during the seven months of the. fiscal year already elapsed and that during much of this period costs were at p ak prices.
 In speaking of road-upkeep costs on
 Thursday afternoon First Selectman John
 A. Gilbert r0inted out that whereas labor lcost only s1.50 day Is and 20 years ago, it has been up to s4.5o day during the past year and only recently came down to $3.59. Teams that could be hired for $3.0O per day in the period men, toned now cost the town $S per day. And
 under the tremendously increased motor traffic of these days, roads are cut up and
 broken down probably three times as quickly and more badly than in days
 when the apkeep costs were ene-third of
 what they are now
 | What IS true in these respects as to
 highways is fully as true as regards
 costs in other departments of the town.
