A legal dispute over whether the

which the Empire Builder climbed
to greatness and to wealth so vast
that with one stroke of his pen he
purchased for 26 million dollars a
competing mine.
In the collection of replicas be-
ing shown at the Circle is the
Kohinoor which now is on Queen
Victoria'S crown. It is called the
MethuSelah of all diamonds, its
history going back 5000 years to
the invasion of India. One king
had boiling oil poured on his head
because of it. Another was blinded
by his brothers for its possession
and the brothers later starved
rather than lose it. Originally
weighing 1856 carats, il was recut for
Queen Victoria's crown, and now
weighs only LOG carats. One of its
traditions is that it never brought
bad luck to woman, although for
men its history is perhaps the
bloodiest of all diamonds.
The fate of the Great Mogul is
unknown. Mined in 1850, it weighed
787 carats, and after cutting
weighed nearly $50 carats. Some
think it was recut and part be-
came the Kohinoor; others think it
reappeared as the Orloff diamond.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1936-05-01

and there are those who think it
has been cut into small stones. All
trace of it has vanished.
The Brilliant Regent began its
history as a 410-carat stone hidden
in the bandage of the leg of slave
in India in 1701. Offering it for
passage on a boat, he was MUIR
dered by the captain, who then sold
the stone for $4,000. Napoleon Sc
cured it after the gem had caused
trouble in England and wore it on
his sword hilt. 1t now is exhibited
at the Louvre in Paris.
The replicas include one of the
Pigott, which was considered the
most valuable possession of an
Egyptian Khedive, who ordered it
crushed and his wife killed after his
death. His wife was murdered, but
the diamond escaped.
The 898-carat Shah of Persia; the
55-carat Sancy; the Jubilee, which
is the third largest of known fin
ished diamonds; The Orloff: the

other stones which may be seen in
