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 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 Gov
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
so on.

depend are causing 1t great suffering.

Replying to an inquiry as to why we
say 'she" so much when referring to boat,
train or vehicle, l beg the right to explain
that this comes under a rule to the effect
that objects distinguished for their grace,
beauty or gentleness are regarded as femi-
nine.
Thus boat or train would come under
the head Of grace and gentleness, and Is
therefore regarded as feminine.
Objects distinguished for their size,
power or sublimity are regarded as mas

nounced like "Kaisar," the title of the Ger
man emperor Nowadays, however, we use
soft in the pronunciation of the above
Latin words unless we are reading Latin.
In the former case we Anglicize them.
Both ways are considered correct, as the
