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. His son surren
