URUGUAY RICH IN AMETHYSTS
Gems Found in "Goedes," Which 10
Natures Way Of Storing Precious
Stones for Posterity.

Stones Tor PoSterity.
The northwestern part of Uruguay
is 4 newly discovered field for the pro-
duction 'of amethysts, which occur In
"geodes." The geodes, so plentiful
that they are picked Up In the fields,
are carried on muletback or In carts
to the nearest railway station and
shipped in barrels to Salto. whence
they are transported by river boat to
Montevideo.
Naturally, 1t will be asked, What Is
a geode? Originally, 1t was a hole In
rock. Water percelating through the
rock deposited silica, making q lining
for the cavity. The lining grew thick.
er and thicker, and after a long time.
II the rock were broken or ~weath-
cred" to pieces, hard nodule would
drop out. The nodule is geode !;
and If, as sometimes happens, the
silica has formed crystals inside Of
1t; colored by metallic salts, the goede
is little jewel box containing anne

MANY WAIT TO COME
HERE FROM ENGLAND BUT
CAN'T GET THE MONEY

Washington, March 29.-Gkeat
numbers of the laboring classes of
both England and France want to
emigrate to the United States but
are finding it impossible to do so
through inability to save enough
money and also because Of the ad.
verse monetary exchange. This con-
dition was reported to the Secretary
of Labor today by Rowland B. Ma
hany, who was sent to Europe by the
Wilson administration to attend the
sessions of the international com.
mission on immigration and emigra.
tion and whose resignation was ac.
cepted last week by President Hard.
ing.
Low wages are preventing many
Englishmen from coming to this
country, the report said, while in
France the present rate of exchange
on the franc is an almost insur.
mountable barrier to immigration
There was said to be a noticeable
note of expectancy in England fol
better times, but rather a lack Of
optimism among the poorer classes
Of France. In both countries, how.
ever, the laboring classes were said
to be getting plenty Of Wholesome
food.

According to ali accounts. London

connections continued to attribute the
reversal to German reparations pay

cumulate large reserves In this coun-

scribed the reaction as being due in
part to the refusal of American bank

The break in stocks was hastened
by reports that the Mexican govern

rested there, nxed and steady. Framed
In the middle Of It, peering over the
edge, was a little hairless, brown face,
holding what looked like tube in its
mouth. Hugh had one glimpse Of a
dark, skinny hand putting something
In the tube. and then he switched OF
the torch and ducked, just as another
fly pinged over his head and bit the
wall behind.
One thing, at any rate, was certain
the other occupant Of the room was
human, and with that realization all
his nerve returned. There would be
time enough later on to find out how
he got there, and what those strange
pinging noises had been caused by.
Just at that moment only one thing
was on the program; and without Z
sound he crept round the bed toward
the cupboard, to put that one thing In.
to 66ect in his usual direct manner.
Twice did he hear the little whis-
Ting hiss from above, but nothing sang
past his head. Evidently the man had
lost him, and was probably still aim

that barely touched it, he felt the out.
lines Of the cupboard.
It was standing an inch or two from
the wall. and he slipped his fingers be-
hind the back on one side. He lis
tened for moment, but no movement
came from above; then, half facing the
wall, he put one leg against It. There
was one quick. tremendous heave: q
crash which sounded deafening: then
silence. And once again he switched
on his torch. -.
