Much of the romance of all ages centres around this mineral, while the history of many great diamonds of historic times may be traced through extraor- dinary melodramatic vicissitudes, Where the diamond was discovered is matter of dispute among historians, although the evidence now existent in the British Museum and in the Bibliotheque Nationale of France would show that It was first intro- duced to the Greeks about 500 B. C. from India, where it must have been mined at an early date. By the Greeks it was known as “the in- vincible,” a term suggested doubtless by the lavish display of the gem by Lais and Phya (or Phue as she ts sometimes called), and Thais, the mistress of Alexander. Pliny in a@ burst of enthusiasm quite unusual with him speaks of the diamond as “the rarest, the most val- uable of all gems, known only to kings.” At various parts of his work this writer mentions three oth Varieties of the same stone—the Macedonian, the Arabian, the Cyp- rian, all affected by the women of ir material for the art of the gem en- graver, In common with all precious ston a cred virtues, such as the powei sanity and of warding off evil spirits. In the Middle Ages it was held by Italians and F harmless between husband and wife, a power which, in a somewhat different sens it maintains to this day, The centra) localities for diamonds have been India, where they have been mined from the earliest age: {South America (principally Braz where they have been sought sin @) the beginning of the eighteenth c tury), and South Africa, which since 1870 has been the supreme centre of the diamond industry. Among the most famous diamonds of history are the Great Mogul, weighing 787 carats, owned by Aurangzed in 1665; the Orloff, weigh- ing 194% carat: | soldier from the eye of an idol In a Brahmin temp! itolen again from him by a ship's captain, bought from {him by Prince Orloff for $240,000 and given to Catherine IT; the Hope, conveying Its influence in disaster and disgrace; and the Koh-i-noor, owned by Queen Victoria. robably the most all stones is the Regent or Pitt diamond, Weighing 410 curats, bought in the seventeenth century by Pitt, | then {it17 by him for $400,900 to the In- mous Regent Orleans and cut to arats, the remainder being for the payment of his debta, | 136 14-18 | sold Stolen with other crown jewels gur ing the Terror, It was found again and restored to France, September 19. i all heard of Pegasus Jewels, a distinction due per-) stolen by a’ French | valuable of Governor of Madras, sold in! | Sayings of A JM Howlin vi . — ne ODDS Irs.
