WHERE 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 fa-
nous Muzo mines in the department
of Boyaca, seventy miles north by
west of Bogota, which have been
worked since 1868. The Spaniards
mined there in the middle of the six
teenth 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 NIuzo occur in calcite veins
running through black carboniferous
limestone in all directions and at all
angles. Often the limestone is cov-
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 a steel bar forged to a
point at one end. The pieces of cal
cite vein are examined superflcially
for emeraIds, and are then set aside
for conveyance to the sorting-shed.
where a detailed examination is made
and the emeralds are divided into If
teen grades, according to color, trans
parency, size, freedom from flaws, and
SO on.

THE BAROMETER OF THE POST
OFFICE, THE READING OF
WHICH SHOWS WESTERN
CAMADA'S GROWTH.

Several of Western Canada news
papers coming to hand during the
last part of the year 1912 contained
items of news such as the following,
speaking of the Christmas work in
the postoffice:
"Other years have been heavy and
the employees have had plenty of op-
portunity of learning what 1t was to
work overtime, but the past has had
nothing equal to the present Forty
extra men have been employed Tin
Winnipeg, and mail trains have been
run special The increase in the mail
this year has been due to the enor-
nous influx of people into Western
Canada during the season, and also
the general prosperity which the
prairie provinces have enjoyed. To
the latter cause has been due the
heavy increase in the number of par
cells which have been shipped to the
old country and Eastern Canada"
The above extract taken from q
Winnipeg paper gives fair idea OF
the great work that the Canadian
postoffices have had all through the
year hundreds of new postoffices were
established, many of them at remote
points from the railway, but all forced
upon the country on account of the
new settlements that have taken
place during the year. 1t Is said or
the Canadian government that in fts
immigration and settlement policy
there is nothing left undone to take
care of the people and their welfare,
whether it be in the new town along
a new line of railway or in the re-
motest hamlet. This solicitude and
care are not confined to the postof-
fee, but with every branch that has
to do with organizing new districts.
Bridges have been built, roads con-
structed, the district policed, and a
dozen other things have to be done
and are done. Is it any wonder that
with the splendid land, the high
yielding land, the land that is free to
the homesteader or open to purchase
at reasonable prices from the railway
and land companies, that the Cana
dian immigration records for 1919
will show arrivals Of upwards OF
100000, one-half of this being from the
United States. The new literature
being sent out by the immigration
branch at Ottawa, and it's agencies
throughout the United States deals
with many of the new and interesting
features that will mark the work OF
that branch for the year 1913.-Ad-
vertisement.

aurochs or the bison by so much as word. AS
the authors of these classics great sports
men and close observers, this would support the
theory that both these animals had already then
become quite extinct in western Europe.
In the sixteenth century, when Europe, SO far
as art was concerned, had at last been aroused
from its medieval stupor by the invention OF
printing, and an extraordinary demand had
sprung up for pictorial matter illustrating
cent exploration of new worlds and the various
forms of the chase, there were produced quite
number OF pictures Of the aurochs by artists
very few of whom had ever set eyes upon live
wild specimen, though they may have seen cap
tive ones. The artist of whom positively
know that he had before him at least stuffed
specimen was the Viennese engraver Augustin
Hirschvogel (born in Nurnberg about 1909, who
illustrated the famous travel book of Baron Her
berstein, the authority most frequently quoted in
connection with the aurochs. for he was absolute
ly the last intelligent observer who the beast
in it's wild state and left pictorial records of his
Impressions Herberstein was gifted with pres
cient eyes, for he foresaw that the aurochs
doomed to speedy extinction. Hence on his sew
eral expeditions to the unknown interior of Rus
sia as the ambassador first of Emperor Maxi
milan in 1868, then on many different occa-
sions Charles VS. and Ferdinand's emissary,
he made notes about It, and, what was much more
important, actually brought back with him some
skins and skulls, which he had mounted in his
house in Vienna, and from which Hirschvogel

picture of bison AS these two portraits"
which have been published scores of times, will
be familiar to all interested in this matter.
will merely quote the inscriptions placed by Her
berstein the two pictures. for 1t is per-
fectly correct differentiation. The picture OF the
bison has the following: II Bison. am
called by the Poles a Suber by the Germans
Bisont or Damther and by the ignorant an
aurochs." Over the woodcut of the aurochs: 81
am Urus which is called by the Poles Tur.
by the Germans Aurochs and until now by
the ignorant Bison" The inscriptions In the
various editions-Herberstein' volume appeared
In several languages-vary trihingly. but the
above, which taken from the edition of 1856,
give the sense in the best form.
Shortly after Herberstein the Flemish painter
Stradanus, who lived and worked for over fifty
years in Florence (from 1853 to 1605) produced
drawing of an aurochs engaged In terrific
struggle In arena where he was matched
against a lion, two wolves and bear This
original drawing Is not the least interesting of
the twenty odd ancient pictures of the aurochs
in the writer's collection. In 1878 the Antwerp
publisher Philip Gale published this and one
hundred and three other sporting drawings by
the Florentine master, and underneath each OF
the engravings there is latin inscr ption The
one under the plate reproducing the drawing

er similar print was produced fourteen years
after bmy the Nurnberg epgraver Johann Slo-
macher who etched nine other sporting plates
Then follow, in rapid succession. half dozen
portraits" by Tempesta the pupil of Stradanus,
one of which prints reproduce. 1t shows In
what the gigantic wild bull was held, for 1t
depicts formidable-looking machine Wherewltn
the bull could be attacked and brought down.
Tempesta's pictures need not be taken seriously,
for his Roman Studio nothing but work
shop where apprentice hands turned out vast
mass of prints of little value in an enquiry
Of this sort. His English contemporary of the
pen, Edward Topsell, in his illustrated natural
history hodge-podge called the Historic OF Foure-
Footed Beastes' 1607 only added to the exist
ing confusion. "a Bison" he says, sis beast
very strange may appear by his figure pre-
fixed which by many authors Is takeI for Urus,
for Bugle wild oxe, others, for
Rangifer, and many for the beast Tarantus or
Buffe." And to show that he really meant what
he said, he afHxes a picture Of what is unmistak-
ably reindeer! Fortunately, however, he adds
as pictures Of the bison and of the aurochs, re-
pleas of the two prints by Hirschvoge out OF
Herberstein's "Rerum Moscovticarum Common
tarii" which, have already mentioned, are
among the most correct representations pub
lished at period when the aurochs still existed
In England, the bef that tn aurochs was
bison-like creature continued throughout the
eighteenth century. The picture taken from Sam
uel Clarke's Julius Caesar" published in 1712,
shows what extraordinary ignorance still pre-
vailed the animal with antlers like an inverted
umbrella being a bison, Bos germanus, and
the beast In the center aurochs. The graver

ton; indeed, goes better for the bison is

mittee that the important item for
chemicals and apparatus" $1,000, had
been omitted by the substitute bill.
The eighth clause of section four Of
the present law is as follows: 1T
shall be adulterated-
Eighth If it contain any chemical
rreservatives or anti-ferment; such as
formaIdehyde, salicylic acid or salicy-
la tes, boric acid or borates, benzoic
acid or benzoates, or fiourides; If it
contain any artificial sweetener, such
as saccharin, dIlcin or glucin'
which If strictly enforced would pre-
vent the use of vinegar, sugar or salt.
See numerous briefs now on file with
the commissioner of agriculture. This
clause has been the cause of much
discussion and frequent consultation
between the commissioners, the state
chemist, and a very large number Of
wholesale and retail merchants and
jobbers, representing the grocers and
druggists of the state. This clause
was omitted from senate bill No. 80
after full discussion with the commits
sioner. The amendment suggested to
the committee by the state chemist TO
senate bill No. 80, is as follows (and
to house bill No. 1897:
Add to section the following:
Eighth If it contain any added
forn1ic acid, formaldehyde. salicylic
acid. salicylates, boric acid. borates,
benzoic acid, or benzoates. or flower
ides, saccharin. duicin, or gl1cin, or
any derivatfve thereof"
The wisdom of such an amendment
IS left to the committee and the legis-
latlIre; as the WISCONSIN decision"
deals only with labelling. in the opinion
OF the writer such an amendment would
not conflict with the decision. How
ever. a number OF prominent attorneys
hold that it would.

gratuitous, covert personal SANDER,
carefully worded in the attempt to
avoid criminal action, and is the echo
of certain lobbyists, representing man
ufacturers, who have infested the halls
OF the Legislature for weeks.
The ''preservative clause" and the
wisdom of it's elimination has been the
subject of numerous consultations be-
tween the commissioner of agricui-
ture. the state chemist, and the trade.
It's elimination after the wisconsin

chemist, the commissioner Of agricul-
ture and the representatives of the en-
tire trade, as necessary to perfect the

CALIFORNIA FRUIT GROWERS
HAVE BEEN HOLDING CONFER
ENCES WITH FLORIDA DELE
CATION FOR PURPOSE OF Sc
CURING UNITED STAND ON
QUESTION.
BY WINFIELD JONES.

Washington, May 12.-President
Powell, of the California Citrus Fruit
Exchange, has been holding confer
ences for several days with different
members of the Florida delegation in
congress- to urge them to combine with
the California senators and represen-
being put on the free list by the SEN
ate. Mr.. Powell believes that if any
changes are made in the lemon and
will be treated alike, and expressed
the opinion today that oranges may be
put on the free list. Under the present
cents pound and oranges one cent a
pound.
The Underwood bill provides for a
duty of a little less than IL cent a
pound on each. Mr.. Powell believes
that only by making an effort to in
crease the duty on both over the I'm
derwood scale, by the combined efforts
of the California and Florida delega-
tons will it be possible to keep both
oranges and lemons from being put
on the free list by the senate.
1t is very doubtful whether the Flor
ida senators will accept Mr.. Powe1.'s
point of view and join issues with the
California delegation.
Hon. D. T. Gerow, postmaster of
Jacksonville, was at the capitol today
visiting Senator Bryan. He is on his
way to Cambridge, Pa, to visit his
father.
