oStracized from civilized eociety on pain OF per-
petual punishment This was about 1892, when
Brazil was still possession of the Kingdom OF
Portugal. ITiven into the most remote and
lonely part of the country they set to work TO
explore various mines there in the hope of max
ing some important discovery which might re-
instate them in the world of men.
For over six years they wandered about in
this deSolate region, exposed to many hard
ships and always in danger of being seized by
soldiers Of the government. At last they tried
the almost dry river bed of the Abaite, which
was very low after long drought. While
washing for gold they found a stone Of enor-
nous SIZE so large indeed that they doubted
its reality. Although elated over their find,
they hesitated between the hope Of regaining
their liberty and dread of the rigorous laws
then in existence regarding the discovery of
diamonds. Uncertain as to their course of
action, they consulted clergyman who adj
vised them to trust to the mercy af the state,
and went with them to Villa Rica, whore he OBJ
tanned for them audience with the governor.
There they threw themselves at the latter'S
feet, told him their story and delivered the
stone To him. The governor, aStoniShed at its
SIZE undl then the greatest known, was in
credulous as to its genuineneSs, but appealed
to the officers of his household, all of whom
declared 1t to be real diamond He therefore
suspended the sentence of the men and sent
the stone to Rio de Janeiro, whence it was dis
patched by frigate to Lisbon the clergyman in
charge.
FINALLY the stone was delivered to the reign
ing sovereign OF Portugal who confirmed the
pardon of the unfortunate wretches and put
the dia' iond safely away in the royal treasury.

nected with them In the introduction the
author says in part
THE diamond has been a factor in tragedies,
q motive of war and rapine, setting father
against son, making life a curse where it had
been blessing. No intrigue or crime exists
on record but has its parallel in the history of
famous gems and there has been no worse
infamy than that in the Eastern wars which
have been waged on their account 1t is as If
the diamond needed dark background to
show up its fascinating hues."
According to this authority, the word for
diamond has been found in the Oldest Greek
records, although the substance itself was I'M
known in Europe until comparatively recent
times. 1t is supposed that large stones may
have existed in India in the time of the
ancents, and a vague tradition assigns great
antiquity to the Kohinoor and other famous
gems However. only small specimens were al
lowed to reach the West as the Indian princes
kept the finer ones for themselves, prohibiting
all export of stones over a certain weight.
1883, Of those most celebrated for size and
beauty there were only six diamonds in Europe
of 100 carats and over. In 1888 there were only
19 weighing much as 80 carats known, and
in 1882 this number had increased to only 100.
Fifty of these were in Europe, the rest In
Persia, India and Borneo This number has
since been augmented by the yield Of the South
African fields, but still large diamonds are very
unusual. The Portuguese treasury is said to
have the richest collection in Europe, the exact
number being unknown.
The word carat" is itself of interesting origin.
1t comes from Greek word meaning the fruit
of the locust u Ne, the seeds of which, being
largely uniform IN size were used as weights

helped to prove this theory in one of the most
spectacular emergency parachute jumps on rec
ord
Mai. Gilkeson was plotting a pursuit plane
over Edgewood Arsenal Md, in a test to deter
mine the glide necessary to attain 200 miles an
hour. AT so feet from the ground at the above
speed a loud crash occurred, followed by
severe JOLT which jerked the plane about AS
degrees to the right. A cloud of gas, oil and
water enveloped the ship as it shot up in the
air to about $50 feet, rolled to the right and
then started down. At 100 feet Gilkeson
jumped.
The plane rolled completely over, landing
upside down an instant later. Maj. Gilkesons

There is record that the men ever received
anything further for their remarkable find,
which, If they had been able to keep it, would
have made them rich for the rest of their lives
Being convicted criminals however they had
small chance of escaping from the country for
it must be remembered that means of travel
were not SO plentiful a century and a half ago
as they are now.
THE Braganza is described by those few who
have seen it as being as large as goose
egg. 1t weighs over IL ounces and is of q
yelloWiSh color. It has been valued at over
f5,000,000 in the rough ($25 900 00O), but of
course this value would be considerably dimin-
iShed in cutting, and no definite price can be
set on an uncut stone. Apparently, it has never
left the Portuguese treasury, where it, Is jeal-
ously guarded from the gaze of sightseers. This
caution is evidently inspired by the doubts
which have been raised as to its genuineneSs,
for, representing so large part of the national
wealth. it is obviously desirable to have it known
as one of the worlds largest diamonds. 1t is
said that Don Juan VI had hole drilled In 1t
and wore it hanging from his neck on gala
occasions.
of fascinating interest, the most authentic work
on the subject being written by an Englishman,
who in 1882 undertook, with several compan-
ions, an exhaustive research into the accounts
of the most famous diamonds on record at that
time. Having access to all the works on the
diamond which had hitherto been published,
they verified or corrected the earlier records,
leaving a remarkably interesting book, which
describes In detail the celebrated gems of this
class and gives the true history of their occur

n diamond weighing 1914 carats uncut
~ has just been discovered in the KIM
N bcrley mines in South Africa 1t Is
said to have brought $40O per carat, which is a
record price. This brings to mind statement
of Louis Cartier of the famous diamond firm In
Paris that large diamonds are exceedingly rare,
which, of course, adds to their value and
interest.
In fact the part the diamond has played in
human affairs is one of great fascination, and
celebrated stones reads like fairy tale. In
the Orient, where this gem has long been
symbol of power as well as a talsman Of in
11uence as great as that of the gods whose
temples it adorns there fanciful legends OF
lurid character concerning it, but fact outrunS
fancy in this respect and the actual record OF
human depravity on its account far exceeds
the product of human invention.
bI~FE BraganZa, named after the reigning
~ house of Portugal at the time of its dis
covery is among the largest diamonds on rec
ord, weighing 1880 carats in the rough. 1t
has never been cut, and its genuineness has
always been suspected although never dis
proved 1t is estimated that 1t would lose about
thirds of its weight in the process of cut
ting but it would still be one of the largest
diamonds in the world-that is, of course, If its
genuineneSs remains unchallenged.

interest the widest flight of the imagination,

and constantly to pray that, in the
present need, wisdom and strength may
