Strange Adventures Of Some Fa-

From the Innflnn (sHanhfc

nous Regalia Diamonds.
From the London Graphic
The presentation of the Cullinan dia-
mond to the king by Sir Richard Solomon
naturally calls to memory other famous
diamonds which have been the treasured
possessions of royal personages Chief
among these. of course, is the great Koh-
-i-noor, which, while not nearly SO large
as the Cullinan lit weighs about 1O2
c:arats as against the Iatter's 3.O23 carats
uncut. which will probably be reduced by
cutting to about LOO carats) has had q
history in which romance and tragedy
have succeeded each other through some
thing like 1000 years if one is to believe
the Hindu legend to the effect that it
was originally the property Of one Of the
heroes Of the Indian epic poem the Ma
hablfarata.'
Be that as it may, it is at any rate re-
corded that in Sc Il. c. the gem was in
the possession OF rajah OF CJayin.

rajahs Of Malwa, next came into pos
session. and they in their turn coded 1t
to the sultans Of Delhi Tavernier in 1885
mentions that he saw It In the treasury
Of the grand mogul at Delhi. In 1879 it
passed into the hands of the Persians.
when Nadir Shah conquered Delhi and
took Mohammed Shah. the sultan pris-
oner. Ahmed Shah seized the diamond on
the death Of Nadir and was afterward
forced to sell 1t to Ranjet Sing. 1t re-
NAMED in the possession Of the Afghans
for some time and was finally brought to
Lahore. In 1885, on the annexation Of the
Punjab by the British government It was
presented to Queen Victoria.
Many stories have been written around
the theft of precious ornaments from
pagan idols. and most OF them-Wflkie
Collins 1.-The Moonstone" in particular
are founded upon the history OF the Or
Iof'' diamond. Weighing 1873 carats, which
is now mounted in the scepter of the

idol in the temple Of Brahma, in the Is
land Of Seringham, in 4nysore.
A French soldier by imposing upon the
confidence of the priests in charge of the
temple succeeded in abstracting one OF the
eyes and fed with the gem to Madras,
where he sold It for couple OF thousand
pounds to captain in the British navy.
The captain took it to England and
made a good profit on the transaction by
obtaining E12.OOO for the jewel from a
Jewish diamond merchant 1t found its
way TO Russia about ITO, when Count
Gregorei Orloff bought it on behalf of
Catherine II. The price paid to the Jew
was E9O.COO and life pension Of E4OO0
Then of course there is the magnificent
Regent diamond. sometimes called the
Pitt" on account of the tact that II was
bought at Madras by the grandfather O.
William Pitt first Earl of Chatham. In
I'LL Pitt sold it, through the financier
John Law. for E135000.stO the Duke OF
Orleans. who was then regent of France.
Its value has since been estimated al
G@3O, GOO. Napoleon used it as security
for a loan from the Batavian govern
ments, and 1T was subsequently stolen.
but one Of the robbers revealed its hiding
place. Napoleon then caused il to be
mounted in his state sword and it was
afterward set in the imperial diadem of
Napoleon Ill Its original weight was 40
carats. but it was reduced in cutting to
CS6A carats.
Among other famous royal diamonds
may be mentioned the diamond necklace
which Louis XIV had made for Nine. du
Barry Before it was finished. however,
the king died u77D. An adventures
styling herself the Countess de I.amotte-
valois tricked Cardinal de Rohan into
buying the necklace on behalf OF the
queen. Another adventures impersonat ed
the queen and thus secured the necklace
from the cardinal, who had bought ii on
credit. The fraud was exposed when the
cardinal was unable TO meet the first in
stsllment due, and in Sc the case was
tried before the parliament of Paris. De
Rohan was exiled. the countess" beaten
with rods and branded as a thief and
her husband. who had helped in the sale
of the diamonds. was condemned TO the
galleys for life.
