Diamonds were first found in India, and at one time the mines near Golconda were very produotive of stones of great size and brilliancy. Asia controlledthe diamond markets for years, and only lost its hold when, early in the eigh- teenth century, some natives of Brazil were found playing at cards. They were using stones for counters, and these stones. were rough, but very vaivable, diamonds, This wasin the province of Minas Geraes, $lowiul from her ;Routh, nostrild iii whiollmines were worked as early as and ears. The police at Agues street station were notified and the etmbulauce was called for to rernove her. Xier iujuries were fatal, for she 'died soon after reaching the hospital.

Small diamonds were also oc- casionally found in the stomachs of slaughtered animals, and this led to a careful overhauling of every carcass. On one occasion a gens of seven carats was found in the tangled locks of anegro slave. Scores of slaves had their wool shaved off at once, but no diamonds were found by the barbers. While the ignorant were hunting in this irregular manner and trusting to chance the more experienced were dig- ging mines. The best diamonds were found near the surface,and only ten or twelve feet of soil was removed. The soil was of the usual diamond indicating nature. It was piled in small heaps by the side of a natural or artificial stream, and washed in long troughs by slaves. The overseers occupied seats on elevated gryyiiund or' on stands erected for the pur- po$e, and were able to watch the washers vel y closely. iThe slaves washed with great care, for the finding of a diamond of eighteen or more carats was rewarded with freedom, and many hundred slaves were luoky enough to secure their papers in this manner. . In 1754 the Bahia mines were discovered, tend more recently diamonds have been found in many oler provinces of Brazil. In some years the value of the gems exported has exceeded $5,000,000; of recent years, however, the output has not been so heavy. At first Brazilian diamonds were not popular in Europe, and there was an idea that they were off in brilliancy and generally inferior to the Asiatic article. 13 u this was evidently mere prejudice, for some of the South American gems have a world wide repu- tation. The "Star of the South," an ir- regular dodecalxedron,weighed 124 carats when cut, and an octahedron, found in the same mine, weighed nearly as much. The great diamond fields of today are in South Africa, where the production has been so great as to cause apprehen- sions as to the maintenance of prices. In 1867 John O'Reilly, while traveling in the Transvaal, ate dinner at the house -of a settler named Neikirk. On the table there wag a collection of Orange river stones, and O'Reilly selected one which he believed to be a diamond, and asked th he might take it. lie was referred to 'Tis owner, a bushman named Jacobs,who parted with it without a moment's con- sideration; Bir.

Others , dined them, but for' over two ars their efforts were unsuccessful, d they were unable to find any dia- x ondiferous earth. But in 1860 Mr. elkirk traded about 82,000 worth of t xttle for the famous "Star of South rice" diamond, which had been found. a Iiottentot. Tho trade proved an cellent one, for the wonderful dia- ond was speedily sold by its new wner for t50,000, or about 40 per cent. f its value. The "Star" weighed 83e arats in the rough and 461 carats when .ut. It .formedthe most striking feat- tre of the Countess of Dudley'a famous eolIection of jewels.

Few of the newcomers were experts in diamonds. or diamond seeking, and for a time results were far from encouraging.
