which at once set fire to the temporary
structure A cap was finally placed
over the mouth, but this only held part
of the pressure within. The flow of
gas was estimated at from one to three

Conflicting Stories Regarding It's
Disappearance.
Contradictory stories are told by the
Stockholm papers about the great ruby
which is, missing from the Swedish crown
jewels. According to the report, Carl
Sandberg, treasurer of the jewel room,
there was, in 1879, a large ruby In the col
lection. 1t weighed 255A carats. Goth
enborg's H. and S. Tidende says that this
ruby was taken in Prague in 1648, was
pawned by Queen Christina, but was re-
deemed by Carl XII. for 161, ,681 daler. 1t
was delivered in Stockholm in 1895 and
should be still there. =!
Stockholm Aftonbladet, has a very
different story, however. It is now in
Russia, says Aftonbladet, having been
presented to Empress Catherine by Gus
tat III. He took all the crown jewels with
him to Russia and wore the famous jewel
at a ball in the winter palace. The en-
press admired 1t SO much that King Gus
taf gallantly presented 1T to her. Since
then 1t has been part of the imperial
collection Of jewels in the winter palace.
