WHERE WE FIND EMERALDS
Famous Muxo 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
teenth century, but withdrew after
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 a steel bar forged to a
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,
where detailed examination is made.
and the emeralds are divided into fif-
teen grades according to color, trans
parency, size. freedom from flaws. and

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

Several of WesteC u 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 Cd
portunity of learning what it was To
work overtime, but the mast has had
nothing equal to the present. Forty
extra men have been employed lin
Winnipeg, and mail aims 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
GELS which have been shipped to the
old country and Eastern Canada"
The above extract taken from A
Winnipeg paper gives a fair idea of
the great work that the Canadian
postofices have had all through the
western prairies. During the past
year hundreds of new postefices 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 of
the Canadian government that in it's
immigration and settlement policy
there is nothing left undone to take
care of the people and their welfare.

Dealer Successfully DeCeiveS
italian Commissioners.
Sells Them Imitation and Brags About
the Affair Until He Gets Into
Trouble. bat Comes Out a
Winner Financially.

Rome, Italy.-A law was voted by
the Italian parliament in June, 1909.
for the preservation and defense of
the artistic, historical and archaeolog-
I ical patrimony of the country. The
object of this law was to prevent the
smuggling abroad of art objects and
old paintings, a practice which is re-
sorted to by art dealers who find 1t
more profitable to sell abroad instead
of in Italy any article of artistic or
historical value The expectation of
art objects is now prohibited by law
and it is only exceptionally allowed
after the object to be exported has
been examined by a special commits
sion and permit of expectation grant
ed, in which case the would-be ex-
porter must pay tax amounting to
20 per cent. of the value declared
The government commission is in ev-
cry case entitled to exercise the so
called right of presumption and ac-
quire the object to be exported at
the price declared by the owner.
Recently the members of the gov
eminent commission were instructed
to exercise more care in the examina
ton of art objects, especially old
paintings and to apply the right of
pre- emption more frequently. Last
year an ar< dealer submitted to the
commission an old painting for expor-
tatior. which he declared was worth
only $4,000, despite the fact that he
attributed ii to the celebrated Dutch
painter. Jakob van RuysdaeL The
members of the commission immedi-
ately jumped to the conclusion that
the painting was genuine master
piece of great value and suspected
that the dealer had only set a low
price on it in order to pass it of as
a worthless. unidentified old canvas.
They Immediately exercised the right
of pre-emption and acquired the paint
ing for $4,000, announcing that it was
a genuine van Ruysdael worth at
least $4,000.
The dealer pretended to be greatly
disappointed, but as a matter OF fact
he sold shortly afterward another iden-

After being in poor health for the last

finally at the suggestion of friend

Now, after about four weeks on
this delicious and nutritious food, she
has picked up most wonderfully and
seems as well as anyone can be.
Every morning she makes a good
breakfast on Grape-Nuts eaten just as
it comes from the package with cream
