FAMOUS JEWEL
MAY Be LOST
BUT OFFICIAL DENIAL is GIVEN
TO REPORT CONCERNING
TlMuR RUBY.

London April 27.--The Timur ruby
has been part OF the British crown
regalia since II was presented to Queen
Victoria in 1861 by the directors OF the
East India Company. There has been
more or less mystery i'm the history
OF this jewel. some experts even con.
tending that IL had been lost. The re-
cent visit of the King Emperor and his
consort to India resulted in the pltbll-
cation OF a history of the jewel written
with the idea OF clearing away the
misspprehensions surrounding II.
The Timur Is the largest known
spinel ruby. weighing Just over 352
carats. 1t Is uncut but polished and
was probably discovered in one OF tho
old ruby mines OF Badakshan. 4 was
seized by Ameer TiWur, better known
to western historians as Tamerlanc,
when he plundcred Delhi in 1898. In
due time IL descended TO his grandson
10y which time the great Tartar empire
was on the wane and during one OF the
many wars between the tartars and
the Persians the ruby fell into the
HANDS of the Kings OF Iran. Shah Abb
has ! presented the ruby TO his friend
the Mogul Emperor Jehangir in 1872.
When his favorite wife demonstrated
with him for inscribing his name on
the jewel Jehangir made the striking
prophecy that the ruby would more
certainly carry his name down to pos
terity tran written history, for IL would
always remain In the possession Of the
ruler of Hindustan, a prophecy which
has been fulfilled to the present day.
In 174O Nadir shah sacked Delhi and
carried the ruby away with him. When
Nadir was assassinatod in f747. Ah-
mad Shah seized the ruby with other
booty. and. proceeding south. founded
the Kingdom of Afshanistan. When
his grandson was expelled from the
country he sought refuge in the Pun
lab, where he was compelled to surren-
der both the Koh- -i-noor and the Ii
mur.
When the Punjah was annexed by
the British in isfg the Koh-i-noor, the
Timur and all other state jewels were

tration and the first-namcd jewel was
taken directly to hendon, where 1t was
presented 20 Queen Victoria. The III
muir was later packed up with other
jewels and taken 10 London for the
great exhibition of 1851. AT the close
of the exhibition the ruby was pre-
sented to the Queen by the Court OF
Directors of the East India company
since which time it has been one OF the
crown jewels

biplane. now the property OF the Ger

a Wright machine just made for the
German army. The comparison is
striking. The old machine has two
light propellers and its equipment
comprises only the Indispensable

but one propeller and it is equipped
with wireless telegraph apparatus.
With its 5000 horsepower motor the
military Wright weighs but no
