Eats Eye Stones.

The cat's eye stone, now prized as an ornament, is a very different thing from the ancient cat's eye or eye stone of India, an agate cut so as to show the so-called eye or eyes. It is supposed by some that this latter was used as money in parts of India four centuries ago, aud specimens found to-day have an interest to numismatists.
