Another symbolic jewel which is to figure
al the durbar Is the celebrated Una, which
VIII adorn either the throne Of King George
at the homage ceremony or else the canopy
above mis- throne. Il is a jeweiIed bird
about twelve inches long, shaped like j
pigeon, with an exaggerated tail. Rubes,
diamonds. emeralds and pearls are strewn
about the uuivering feathers Of delicate
golden iligree work. II holds a priceless
ruby in its bill and an emerald of immense
size and lustre hangs from It's breast
There are many legends woven about this
bird in the Orient The Hind,is have g.vcl
1t the name Of Una, and are convinced
that whoever owns the Tina must reign
over India The fact that both the Una
and the koh-i-Noor are now in the pos
session of King George makes it almost a
matter ~ course for the native princes OF
IIindustap to acknowledge him as their
lege lord. It may be a bitter and bewil-
dering thing, this rule Of an alien from
the West: but the powers above have
wilIed it so and pious souls must now bow
in submission TO the nat Of fate.
King George wishes TO bring this fact
home 20 the people of India. and i'm
press upon their minds de visu, that the
Eoh-i-Noor and the Una, the two SYM
bols OF Indian empire, are in his posses

Why the King Insists Upon Delhi.

All sorts of pressure is being brought to
pear upon the King and upon the govern
ment in order 10 secure a change in the
locality designated for the scene of the
great coronation durbar in India Just twelve
months hence. 1t is urged that Calcutta,
after all. is the metropolis of the great
Indian Empire and the seat of government.
While the city is SO large that there would
be no difficulty whatever In housing the
influx Of Indian vassal rulers princes and
dignitaries, as Well as all the British mobiles
who intend to be present a. this ceremony
without parallel or precedent in modern
times. 1t is argued that Delhi IS now little
more than a city OF ruins, that SO far as
England'S S domination of India is concerned
its principal associations are connected
with the Sepoy rnutiny of 1851. which it is
both unw.se and unpiea asant TO recall. and
that the accommodation there is of such
a restricted character that at the two for
mer durbars held there, the first when the
late Earl Lytton as viceroy proclaimed
Queen Victoria as Empress OF India, and
the other In 1858. when Lord Curzon pro-
claimed King Edward as Kaisr-i-Hind, d
whole vast city of tents had to be erected
al enormous expense-tents which would In
the event of inciement weather have be-
come Welln1gh uninhahita BILE.
1t is understood that King George at the
durhaT will appear. when he receives the
homage of the vassal rulers and feudatory
princes Of India, not in the mere uniform
oE a field marshal, but arrayed in his cor
onation robes, decked with the crown Jew
els, with the crown on his head, and in
his hand the sceptre, from which will daz-
zle the greatest diamond in the world, the
five hundred-odd carat Star of Africa It
jewels ever leaving England, and repre-
senting. as they do, q value Of many, many
millions of pounds sterling, the most eX-
traordinary precautions viii be adopted
for their safety in transit between the
Tower of London. where they now repose,
and the city of Delhi.
In thus ar-aying himself in the crown
Jewels at the durbar King George Is
prompted not by any mere desire Of per-
scnal display-for he is man of the most
simple rastes-but because he appreciates
the impression which will be created among
the natives Of every class and creed by
appearing before them wearing that Koh-
t-Noor which for many centuries was the
symbol of empire and Of supreme power In
India and for the sake OF which civil wars
appalling Inassacres, terrible invasionS,
conspira cies, assassinations and hfdeous
tCrtures without number have taken place
Probably there IS no precious stone IN the
world that has more blood stained history
than the Kot-t-Nocr, which came into the
possession OF the late Queen Victoria some
seventy years ago.
