The Flame Queen

It is impossible to state definite
figures as 10 the value of opals. They
vary widely, according TO the fire
and beauty of the stone. The pur-
chaser pays as much as he thinks he
can pay with any hope of profit. and
the seller gets all he can. Opals, up
in the Lightning Ridge region of
Australia, are all dug by miners
working independently or as mem
bers of small partnerships This is
the only corner of the mining field
into which the great companies have
hardly yet intruded.
The most famous stone yet won at
Lightning Ridge is the Flame Queen.
IL Is oval, measuring approximately
20 inches by 2.3 inches. in struc-
ture and color it is unique. The CEN
ter is slightly in relief, and around it
the border is set like a frame. The
center blazes as vivid crimson
flame and two parallel slight de-
pressions in it give a remarkable
effect of erupting craters. But it is
only necessary to change slightly the
angle of observation and the central
field of fire is transformed to patch
of emerald, cool and exquisite.
around which the border now shows
as royal blue. Yet another angle.
and you have bronze center touch
ed with points of darker tone, the
whole set about with a wavering
frame of blue and amethyst. The
changes of color in this remarkable
stone are so strange and rapid as to
give the appearance of living or
ganism. The opal is old. and the
back of 1t bears the fossil impression
of a plant known to scientists as
Ginko, which occurs in the Jurassic
rocks of Queensland, but not else
where in association with any opal
deposit.
1t Is to be added that the Flame
Queen has an excellent reputation
for singularity. Sinister tales are
told about opals, but this one has
brought good fortune to everybody
connected with it. You may take
that story for what 1t Is worth

Crew-Practice Held
Especial to Kennebec Journal)


-Waterville. Sept. 1.-THE Coburn
gridmen were out this afternoon un-
der Coach Haines. They We're on
the field at 2.45. twenty-five men re-
porting. Glasses are over at go
now instead of at 3.15 which will
give the squad a longer session.
The practice consisted of kicking,
passing, and signal drill with a pre-
liminary talk on the football code
The men are getting on to the for
nations quickly and are showing
considerable football knowledge. This
is a great help to Coach Haines as
he is without the services of an as
sistant this year.
Two men reported today, one of
them, Freddie Danton, played last
fall but left school in December. He
is a valuable half back, being fast
and a sure ground gamer off tackle.
Danton is also a hockey and track
man.
The other newcomer is Charles
Major a colored boy and one of the
greatest athletes ever to attend De-
Witt Clinton. n. Y. high school He
is an end of the rangey type and has
a world of speed. Major is also an
excellent basketball center. However
his best sport is track, and he is a
champion in his line. Charlie holds
the National Junior A. A. L. high
jump record which he made recently
at Newark. \. j.. with leap of six
feet two and one half inches. He
qualified for the Olympic team but
pulled a tendon in his leg and was
unable to go across.
These new men will bolster Co.
burns football hopes as well as other
branches of athletics and it appears
as though the Crimson and Gold
would have banner year.
