BowSer could not determine whether he
had developed Il new soft corn or had

he said:

One Of the rarest and most precious

times conf founded with the ruby, from
which it differs Ry the intensity OF Its
fires, produced BY an Internal luster OF
gold, while under the purple Of the ru-!

Or lacquer. Ethiopia produced the
most precious ancient carbuncles. The
Chaldeans regarded this stone as a
powerful talisman. Legend makes the

OF Pegu wore an enormous one, which
at night appeared to be lighted up with
