	INDIAN DIAMONDS tered. A few inches to a few feet thick at the most; sometimes near the surface, sometimes twenty or thirty feet under it; nothing to betray them except where they themselves appear on the surface, thousands might look long and far and not find them. As the ancient mines became exhausted, India as the land of diamonds was eclipsed by Brazil and now fades to a memory before the rising sun of Africa.
