RARE GEMS LOST TO SIGHT
Russian Crown Jewels Supposed 70
Have Been Disposed Of In Small
Assortments.

The great collection Of Russian
crown jewels seems likely to share
the mysterious fate of the peacock
throne in Delhi, writes Frederic ].
Haskin in the Chicago Daily News.
The peacock throne, which cost the
Shah Jehan $3O,O0O.OOO, was won
derful canopied chair Of pure gold In.
crusted with rubies, sapphires and fes-
ICONS of pearls, and Ornamented with
two great jeweled peacOcks and life
sized parrot cut from single emer-
aid. 1t was a fabulous work Of art,
and when it slipped out Of sight after
the death of the shah there was much
speculation. Presumably a strand Of
pearls was Topped off here, a ruby
pried off there, and the emerald par
rot cut into number of less distinc-
tive jewels. Today mere throne
uncertainty as the peacock throne.
The crown jewels of Russia are sup
posed to be slipping away In similaH
fashion. There was no word Of any
looting when the Kremlin in Moscow,
where the glittering Jewels Of royalty
reposed, fell into the hands of the rev.
olutionists. The Kremlin has been
guarded by the soviet government.
The condition of the treasury galleries
Is yelled in mystery.
South African papers in close touch
with the diamond trade state that $1O.-
100000 worth of stolen Russian dia-
monds were thrown on the jewel mar
ket in ten months in Iceland the
crown Jewel collection of Russia was
particularly rich In diamonds.

Had Almost Too Much Learning.

The cultured calculators have been
extremely rare. The extraordinary
Baratier may. perhaps, be cited, born
In 1921, who, at the age Of twelve, had
all the mathematicians guessing. He
could read at three; at four he could
speak Latin, French and German; at
seven he knew Greek and Hebrew; at
eleven he had written dictionary Of
the last two tongues; at thirteen he
was sending contributions to the vari-
GUS learned societies, etc. Finally, at
nineteen, on Sept. s. 1740. having
learned apparently all there was to
know, he died. That's what much
learning leads to.

The Hopeless Search.

Every once in while we read OF
man living In poverty falling heir
to millions. And every time we read
that sort of a news item we scan the
horizon of our family sky In the hope
Of finding some distant relative who
might some day do that thing for us,
but always with the same result. If
there are any millionaires in our
family we haven't located them.

Circus Tent Stakes Driven by Power


The automobile truck has largely
superseded the horse as means of
transportation for the itinerant cir
Gus. 1t has also relegated the use
lessness of the former sledge-swinging
skill Of the canvasman.
Now the stakes for the tents are
not driven by hand, but by truck
built especially for that purpose. It
carries the stakes and the tent poles
and 10 equipped with miniature
piledriver of the modern automatic
type, operated by belt from the

Swallowed Each O,ner.

A perfectly formed hard-shell crab
about the size of the end Of persons
thumb was found In an oyster shell.
The crab had evidently been swallowed
by the oyster, but presumably 1t proved
too much for the oyster, as there was
no oyster In the shell when 1t was
opened.

No AduIteration Possible There.

There are many odd and interesting
sights to be seen In Paris. Some Of
them would surprise the American boy
or girl. In the older sections of the
city the milkman goes from door to
door, playing his "Pan Pipes" Ia
bunch of reeds tied together) and fol-
lowed by his flock of goats, ready to
be MIXED. He stops before the door

who are sure of getting fresh milk.

The Wool Combers.

In the Latin quarter of Paris one
often sees groups Of bareheaded wom-
en-, sitting in some quiet corner Of the
street, perhaps within a church door,
picking and combing the wool of their
mattresses. No matter how poor
French peasant may be, he almost al
ways possesses a comfortable bed with
q wool mattress.
