as distinct shock and surprise to mis-
relatives, comrades and friends. Gen.
Stewart had been in failing health
here at the home of his son, Or. A.
p. Stewart Jr., for a year or more.
Death was due to heart disease.

ticies Of silver and gold, studded with
gems
One of the diamonds on exhibit
ton is the Koh!noor, or. Mountain OF
Light. which. after cutting, weighed
100 carats. The stone formerly be-
Ionged to Runjeet Singh, ruler of
Lahore. India, but in 1S4s 1t was sur
rendered when the Puntab was an
nexed to the British Government.
Another gem in this collection is
the beautiful ruby diamond worn by
the Black Prince. During the COM
monwealth, practically all OF the roy
al regalia was sold, as the funds in
the treasury were very low, conse-
quentty all the collection Is modern.
The magnificent Premier" dia-
mond has lately been added to this
collection. In 1907 1t was presented
| to King Edward VII. by the Trans
vaal government. It was discovered
| in 1905 in the Premier Mines, South
Africa. Its weight is 1924 carats.
which is equal to about one and one
quarter pounds, and is the largest
stone ever found. 1t is now being
cut for the king by skilled diamond
cutters, and, when finished. will be
pear-shaped, and placed in his majes-
| tvs crown.
Another gem of worldwide fame
Is the "Cullian," found in India in
1927, and weighing 1877 carats. In
1913 1t fell into possession Of British
soldiers in a battle at Lahore, India,
and, in July, 1849, was presented to
Queen Victoria. This stone is pure
white In color, and oval in shape, oc-
cupying the central position in his
majesty's crown.
Like the Premier" diamond, its
value has never been estimated
