PAPERWEICHT VALUED
 MORE THAN $35,OOO

LONDON, Nov. 14.-Declared to be the largest sapphire in the world, jewel, once used as a common paperweight, has been brought from India and is now being offered for exhibition in London The jewel is worth more than $35,000, wieghs 916 carats and is in the form of a pluck ed flower with a short stem It was acquired by a government of ficial in India, who, ignorant of it's value, used it as a paperweight in one of the guard huts on the Indian frontier.
 The discovery of the jewel was made by the director of Indian Reve- nue when he visited the outpost. It's history has been traced to the twelfth century when one of the Bellala kings, while on a pilgrimage to Ceylon, was given the sapphire by a Buddhist monk. During the reign of this king the stone became the object of much veneration and was afterwards captured by Malik Kaffur, the great general of Allan dan. Later it came into the pos session of a state official, but was lost about 1875.
 Experts are of the opinion that the jewel was hair ornament of an ancient deity and there is, it is believed, a companion stone in existence

PEPAT NEW YORK
CONVENTION HAS
BEEN A F|ZZLE
No Popular 0utburStS as in
0Iden Days Have 0C-
cured.
By FRANK J. TAYLOR, ,
Times Staff Correspondent.

NEW YORK, June 26.-Former
Vice President Thomas r. Marshall
says that what this country really
needs is a good scent cigar. The
delegates. visitors and observers at
the Democratic convention here say
that what the country really needs is
a new system of choosing presiden-
tial candidates. The convention
so far as pep is concerned, has been
a fizzle. The Republican convention
at Cleveland was a quiet, lady-like
affair all the way through. Old
timers there said, Wait until you
get to New York. Theylbhave some
thing to fight about there"
Here in New York they do have
everything to fight about. There is
bitterness between the camps Of the
rival candidates. There is high
feeling yer the Khan issue. the wet
issue and over other questions. But
with all the trappings that in former
years have gone to make a hell
roaring convention, this one is a
hzzle. so far as popular outbursts
are concerned.
