London,

London Is a vast world in itself. You
arc impressed when you find yourself IN it,
with Its immensity; as one is impressed by
the vast reach of tho ocean when he stcams
over it, day after day without glimpse OF
land, or tho sight, perhaps, of o single sail.
You feel like nero atom III this vast bill
lowy tide Of human life. Cut up into
smaller communities London would make a
dozen cities equal in population to New
York, Brooklyn, Boston, Philadelphia, Bal
timore, Washington, Buffalo, Cincinnati,
Chicago, st. Louis, New Orleans and San
Francieco! 1t contains moro people than
our six populons Now England States more
than the whole kingdom of Denmark, moro
thah twice as many as Norway, nearly as
many as all Scotland. 1t is said to contain
moro Jews than Palestine, moro Catholics
than Rome, more Irishmen than Dublin,
moro Scotchmen than Edlnburg. There
are omnibuses running across the city, by
rs straight route as its cow-path streets
allow, which start before five o'clock in
tho morning and barely make two round
trips before midnight. And year by year
tho great city pushes out its borders, en-
composing village after village of tho out
lying suburbs in its spider web of pave
lnents, and water mains, and omnibuses
and busy traffic. The villas around it's
fringes, as Hare says, secnto be constantly
making an effort to get into the county and
never succeeding. Many noighborhoods in
tho solidly built city, still bear the names
by which they were known when thcy
were only little hamlcts in the fields, miles

Largest Sapphire In tile SYorId,

A corrcspondondent writes a. follows.
have recently boon favored with tho sight
or ono OF tho famous jowcls OF tho world
a stono that has It's history and pcdigroo, and
Is celebrated In the annals of tho noted gems
OF Europe; have held in my hand and ad-
mircd beneath the rays of tho sunlight tho
finest sapphire that Is known to exist. This
beautiful and well-nigh priceless stonc CON-
blnes in singularly perfect dogroo tho Load
Ing qualifications Of size, shape, color, and
water. In form 1t Is flat oval, being about
two inches long by an inch and half wide.
1t Is cut slightly on cabochon on top and in
to multitude Of small facets beneath. Its
huo Is perfect, boins warm, l,lstrouu
Marie Louise blue, not so dark rs to show
black beneath tho gaslight, but having all
tho velvet softncss and purity of tint that is
required in really fine gcm of this dcscrip-
tion. Its weight is 300 carats, and 1t be
longs to noble wealthy Russian family in
whose family 1t has been for tho past two
centuries, and it has been placed by its
owner In tho hands Of one of tho great dia-
mond merchants of Paris for safe kecpipp.
Ono OF tho Rothschild family has offered
for 1t no less than $500, 600, but tho offer
mas been refused. l asked tho courteous
gentleman in whose caro- 1t has boon left as
to tho actual valuo OF the stone. Hc told
mo that, being, as 1t was, perfectly unique,
no precise value could DO set upon it, but
that he was inclined to estimate it at some
S4oO.OO0. He also showed mo string of
enormous graduated pearls of extreme pur-
lty and fneness (the center ono was as large
~ small cherry, and he told mo that tho
necklace belonging to the noblo Russian
was composed OF six similar strings Of equal
beauty and exceptional size. Tho great
sapphire was mounted to be worn as a
brooch, being surmounted with largo dia-
monds OF twenty carats each. It's guardian
informed me that tho pendant belonging to
this brooch was composed or large pear
shaped sapphire weighing sixty carats, and
sst IN diamonds. Tho whole collection Of
jewels belonging to this ono family is " orth
over $2,00s, 900! "Thero is no such sap
phire az that largest one," continued my in.
formant 'even among the crown jewels Of
Russia. furnished myself two very ..fne
ones to the Rmprcss, each weighing sixty
carats: but they do not compare with this
magnificent som." Tho gentleman who
spoke was we'll qualified to give an opinion,
- hs u one OF the few great diamond mcr-
chants OF the world, and 10, moreover, a
noted export. He 1t is who was recently
sent for by the Russian Government to 90
70 St Petersburg to mako 4 full estimate
OF the valuo Of tho crown jewels, and ho
furnishes whatever ornaments In precious
stones are purchased by the members Of the
Imperial family.
