adornment Is certain. Whether the
large. clear, green stones which, ac-
eording TO ancient authorities, orna-

really emeralds is matter OF dispute,
but this gem, owing TO its regular
shape, which is commonly six-sided
prism-and its beautiful tint that
stands less In need OF the lapidary's
art than many others, II probably
formed part OF the regalia of princes
at very early period. That it was
known to the Romans is certain and
the mines now revisited used to send
their treasures to the gem cutters OF
the capital. Ever since then the stone
