FACTS ABOUT EMERY.
How 1t Is Quarried In the Hiatorio
beds of Naxos, an Island In
the Mediterranean.

Emery comes from the island of
Naxos, In the eastern Mediterranean,
whence it has been exported for the last
two centuries or more. The beds are
in the northeast of the island, the de-
posits descending into some of the
neighboring islands, the emery being
foand in lenticular masses, resting on
layers of schlst in limestone, almost
identical with parian marble, the finest
marble known, which comes from the
island of Paros, close by.
There are about 300 men engaged in
the trade, all of whom have to be mar
ried before they are admitted to the
fraternity. The material is much too
hard to be dug out, or even blasted.
Great fires are lighted around the
blocks till the natural cracks expand
with the heat, and levers are then In
serted to pry them apart. This system
is continued until the blocks are re-
duced in size to masses of cubic foot
or less, and they are then shipped as If
they were coal. There are said to be
20,oO0,00o tons yet available at Naxos,
and the last reported years export was
1880 TONS 1t Is one of the hardess sub
stances known.
