WE FIND EMERALDs
Famous Muzo Mines In the Republic
of Colombia Produce Finest
Gems. /

The finest emeralds are found In
the Republic of Colombia, at the Ia
nous Muzo mines in the department
of Boyaca. seventy miles north by
west of Bogota, which have been
worked since 1858. The Spaniards
mined there in the middle of the six
seenth century, but withdrew after
q time, owing to continual fighting
with the Indians; with the result that
For awhile the locality of the mines
was unknown. They are now worked
by an English company, in partner
ship with the government. The emer-
aids at Muzo occur in calcite veins
running through black carboniferous
limestone in all directions and at all
angles. Often the limestone is COW
cred with earth, in which bushes and
trees are growing; this has to be
cleared before prospecting is possible.
When calcite veins have been located,
the side Of the hill is dug away in
banks usually by indians, whose
chief tool is steel bar forged to q
point at one end. The pieces of CAL
cite vein are examined specifically
for emeralds, and are then set aside
for conveyance to the sorting-shed.

and the emeralds are divided into fif-

QUEER poReuPNE ANT.EAIER PLAGUE or Iu,An Monkeys

a plague OF monkeys some years
ago sorely troubled the officials at 8
small station on the Saran railway
in Northwest India. Trucks full Of
grain for export were often stored
up In the station, and the monkeys
came down In large number from a
nesghboring grove to help themselves
to the grain. picking holes in the tar
paulin roof of the wagons.
The officials were weassed cut with
keeping watelrRnd soaring Lay the
thieves, who daily grew bolder, till an
ingenious guard hit upon q strategem.
For several DAYS sweets and fruits
were put on roofs of the wagons,
with the result that the whole OF the
monkey colony were attracted to the
spot, and soon became perfectly In
different to man.
One morning, when they were all
bus1ly feeding an engine was stealth
lily attached to the wagons, and sud
denly the train moved off. The mon
keys were quite scared. ana made no
attempt to escape, sitting crouched
together till the train had gone sew
eral miles and stopped at a jungle.
Then they wanted no hint to leave.
Every monkey leaped down bowling
and fed into the jungle, whence they
never returned to trouble the railway.
