els, Was Never Told.

All the world has heard of the Koh-
i-nor, or, as 1t has been sometimes
called. the Great Mogul diamond, and
IT would seem that there was moth
ing more to be said about IT, remarks
Eleanor Maddox in Asia Magazine
Yet. in point Of fact. not tenth part
of its history has ever been traced,
so far does II extend back into the
sstas OF the past.
Perhaps one of the strongest things
about II is that It cannot be lost to the
world indefinitely. II was bricked and
plastered up In a wall and miraculous
ly found after Its former owner had
been murdered. II was twice thrown
away as bit of glass and once went to
the washerwoman In the pocket OF an
Engllshman's drili suit.
This mstchless gem Is called In In
dia the Mountain of Light" and the
"Talisman Of Kings" the latter be-
cause II was said TO bring sovereignty
to its possessor. Strangely enough. af-
ter IL fell into the hands of Turkish
slave of iliegitimate origin. line
known as the "Siave Kings" sat on
the throne Of Delhi for eighty years.
during which period the desire to pos
sess the talisman amounted to fren-
zied obsession. Suddenly 1t disappear
ed In the chaos that brought the slave
dynasty TO an end In 1900.
The Koh-i-nor later scintillated with
out bloodshed through the reign of
Shah Jahan down to his son Aurang-
zeb, who exhibited II to number Of
Europeans whom he was entertaining
at his court. Among them was Tavcr-
nier. the French jeweler. who later
wrote a descriptive account Of IL for
the delectation Of Europe After be-
ing tossed like shuttlecock I'm the
Delhi loot, and remaining for a period
of years with the Silks in the puntab.

world now rests on purple velvet

tradition the debate, which was pos.

when Benjamin Franklin solemnly
suggested that there be Incorporated
another clause making II part OF the
organic law OF the land that no for.

country with an army OF more than

A somewhat similar point was
