DIAMONDS OF GOLCoNDA.
Marco Polo's Account of Them Rcnd-
Like One of SIphnd,a IuIes

Like one or SlEbHd's lHIes.
II is in this kingdom that diamonds
are got; and will tell you how. There
are certain lofty mountains in those
parts; and when the winter rains fall,
which are very heavy, the waters come
roaring down the mountains in great
torrents. When the rains are over, and
the waters from the mountains have
ceased TO flow, they search the beds
of the torrents and find plenty of dia-
monds. In summer also there are plen-
ty TO be found in the mountains. but
the heat of the sun is so great that it
is scarcely possible to go thither. nor
is there then drop of water TO be
found. Moreover, in those mountains
great scrpents are rife to marvellous
degree, besides other verInin, and this
owing to the great heat. The serpents
are also the most venomous in exist
cnce. SO that anyone going there runs
fearful peril: for many have been de-
stroyed by these evil reptiles.
Now among these mountains there
are certain great and deep valleys, to
the bottom of which there is no ac-
cess. Wherefore the men who go in
search of the diamonds take with them
pieces of flesh. as lean as they can get.
and these they cast into the bottom of
the valley. Now there are numbers OF
white eagles that haunt these noun
tains and feed upon the serpents. When
the eagles see the meat thrown down,
they pouncc upon it. and carry it up
some rocky hilltop. where they begin
to rund II. But there are men on the
watch. and as soon as they see that
the eagles have settled, they raise n
loud shouting TO drive them away.
and when the eagles are thus fright
cred away the men recover the pieces
Of meat. ard find them full OF diamonds
which have stuck to the meat down
in the bottom. For the abundance of
diamonds down there in the depths OF
the valley is astonishing, hut robodv
can get down: and If one could. itwould
he only TO be at once deyoured by the
5, s,rpcnts which are so rife there.
There is another way of getting the
diamonds. The people go to the nests
of those white eagles. of which there
are many, and find plenty OF diamonds
which the BIRDS have carried OH WIN
the meat that was cast into the valleys
And when the eagles themselves are
taken diamonds are found in their
stomachs.
So now l have told you three different
ways in which these stones are found.
No other country but this kingdom of
STutfili produces them. but there they
are found both abundantly and of large
size. Those that are brought to our
part of the world are only the refuse.
rs it were, of the finer and larger
stones. For the flower of the diamonds
and other large gems. as well as the
largest pearls, are all carried to the
great khan and other kings and princes
of those regions: in truth. they pos
sess all the great treasures of the world

MChAMM EDS COAT.
>ncrcd Relic to which the Sultan
Annually Pays His Devotion.


No more striking illustration of the
alarming condition of affairs that pre-
vail Just now t tConstantinople could be
afforded them the fact that the sultan
should have considered it necessary to
proceed by water, instead of by land,
from his residence at the Yildiz Kiosk
to the old seraglio for the purpose of
paying his annual devotion to the holy
coat of Mohammed, which.is preserved
in great box in the innermost sane
tuarv OF the imperial treasury. The eX-
tent TO which this garment is venerated
by all believers may be estimated by
the fact that the principal and most
highly cherished title of the sultan is
that of guardian of the holy mantle
This robe, which it is needless to say
is green, was brought to Constantine
pie by Sultan Selim along with the keys
of the holy cities of Medina and Mecca,
from Cairo, where they had been pre-
served until that time in the keeping of
the caliphs.
This worship of the mantle by the
sultan is the most solemn and impor-
tant religious function which the Turk
ish ruler is called upon to perform
throughout the year, and, as general
rule, his majesty's progress from the
Yildiz Kiosk to the Sublime Porte is
marked by magnificent display OF
troops four or five ranks deep, who line
the entire route on either side.
This year, for the first time since his
accession to the throne more than 90
years ago. the sultan. through dread oi
assassination, has abandoned the Gus.
tomary procession by land, and has
gone by water instead. furtively and al
most by stealth. the public being led
till the last moment TO believe by the
military display that The sultan was
about to proceed to the old seraglio in

Where the sound was wholly uncom-

of music on the capillary circulation
was tested by a plethysmograph at

The opinion at tho present time OF
