England has timur ruby , It has JUBt become known that the famouB Tlmur ruby, known in tho dayB of the Mogul omplro as tho "Trib ute of tho World," Is now among the British crown Jowels. . Somo experts bad supposed It was last. The gem Is royal match to the Kohlnoor dia mond, the "Mountain of Light," which has been In the DrltUh regalia since 1850. The Tlmur ruby Is the largest In ex istence, weighing in its present shape a trifle over 352 carats, it Is uncut, but polished. Tho first account of this ruby Is In 1398, when tho Ameer Tlmur, known In Europe as Tnmerl nno, plundered the Indian city of Delhi, and seized a groat Btock of princely gems. Tnmerlnno bequeath ed the Tlmur ruby to his son and BuccesBor, Mir Shnh Rukh, who passed It down In turn to his eon, Mlrza TJlugh Ileg. The ruby fell Into tho hands of n PorBlan king at tho downfall of tho Tartar empire. In 1C12 tho Btone was presented by Shah AbhaB I., greatest of the Sofavl kings of Porala, to tho Mogul Emperor JehariBlr. At that time It had engraved on It tho names of Tamerlane and his son and Shah Abbas. Tho Emperor Johanglr oblit erated thorn and engraved on tho ruby tho nomeB of himself and his father, Akbar tho Great Nur Jehan, faorllo wife of .Tehan glr, told him ho ought not to have scraped off ' Tamorlano's name, to which the Persian monarch replied: "This Jowel will more cortalnly hand down my namo to posterity than nny written history. Tho House of Tlmur may fall, but as long ns thoro lb a king this gem will be his." Shah Julian later put his uamo on the ruby and Bet tho etono In the famous Peacock Throne. There It re mained until Nadir Shah Invaded In dia and sacked Dolhl in 1739. He car irled off tho Tlmur ruby and 'J5.000 other gems., When tho Nadir was as sassinated In 1747 the ruby descended to Ahmad Shah, who founded the king- idon of Afghanistan.
