Politics may make strange bedfel- lows, but world wars bring stranger visitors. Ahmed Mirza, the young shah of Persia, is reported to be plan- ning a visit to the United States. If he comes and brings with him even a part of his $200,000,000 collection of Jewels his visit will be strenuous. The shah’s crown is of solid gold thickly studded with gems. It is said to weigh more than ten pounds. It contains a ruby “as big as a hen's egg.” This ruby is said to be 3,000 years old. According to tradition, it once adorned the turban of Saladin, the chivalrous foe of Richard Coeur de Lion during the wars of the cru- sades. To replace his heavy, ponderous crown the shah has, for state occa- sions, an astrakhan hat adorned with an aigrette on which gleams, like a headlight, an immense diamond, " known as the Taj-e-Mah, or “Sea of Light” This'is the most valuable gem in the Persian collection. Its beauty : was once as famous in India as that of the Kub-Nur, the “Mountain of 5{\ Light,” which is now in the crown of England. : 3 The shah’s belt is so thickly studded with gems that it weighs 18 pounds. His diamond-set scimitar is valued at $1,600,000. An emerald in his tarboosh 18 80 large that the names of all the kings of his line are engraved upon it. One of his robes of state is stiff with arabesque patterns wrought in diamonds, 1ubles and emeralds. His epaulettes are of gold set with diamonds, with a center of enormois emeralds and hung with a heavy fringe of solid diamonds. 3§ The Resuit.
