cumstances for you to send your boy

Six diamonds, cut out of the famous
Cullinan stone, and mounted as orna.
ments, were presented to Queen Mary
by Sir Richard Solomon, high COM
missioner of the union Of South Africa,
on behalf of the government and peo-
pie, and In commemoration of the es-
adjustment of the union.
The two largest of the diamonds,
winch are considered by experts to
be of matchless quality Zone weighs
" and the other 62 karats), have
been mounted as a pendant; three,
averaging about 10 karats each, have
been mounted as a small pendant, and
the sixth as a ring.
In 1907 Sir Richard Solomon pre-.
sented the original Cullinan diamond,
weighing about 5000 karats, more
tnan three times the size of the larg-
est diamond previously discovered, to
hing Edward, as an expression Of the
feeling of loyalty and attachment Of
Tue people Of the Transvaal.
The stone was cut into two large
pieces, which are kept among the his
torlc Jewels forming the heirlooms OF
Inc crown, and the stones now pre-
Sented to the queen are the residue
