Agates are reported to have been
as plentiful at Newport this year as
usual. It is a very peculiar fact
that water agates are found in no
other place in the world except on
the beach for a few miles at New
port. At first the theory was that
the agates were washed up on the
beach from the bottom of -the ocean,
but the question arose that if they
conld be washed up there why not
elsewhere? Now the generally ao
cepted theory and the one which
is undobtedlr the true one is that
they are in the cliffs, and are wash
ed out as the cliffs gradually crum
ble away during the winter. This
fact was demonstrated this Bum
mer by' an Albany lady who
dug a 'water agate from the
side of the cliff. She had Been
the edge of the stone protruding
from the cliff, and when the dug it
out she discovered that she had
found ao excellent water agate.
