CROWN JEWELS HOARD IN MOSCOW.

Fifty million pounds is the value now set on the Russian Crown jewels, officials of the State Bank having revised the estimate of £24,000,000 made some years ago.

They are kept in one closely- barred room which must be the richest room in the world.

Foreign correspondents here have just been shown the collection again. Contrary to rumours, it was found to be intact, except for a number of lesser crowns and pieces which, it was stated, have been sold abroad.

The imperial crown, made for Catherine the Great, and worn for the last time by the ill-fated Tsur Nicholas H., is still in the vault. It has 5,000 diamonds of a total of 2.888 carats, topped by a 100- carat ruby and a cross of diamonds and platinum, and is valued at £10,400,000,

Diamond in a Wound.

In the same glass-fronted, steel- lined case, is the gold sceptre, also made for Catherine the Great, containing the famous Orlov dia- mond of 196 carats. It is the most costly present a lover ever made a queen. In return, Cathe- rine bestowed upon Orlov the title of Count and gave him a State annuity for life.

The diamond is said to have been stolen from India by a French soldier, who, to smuggle it out of the country, cut open the calf of his leg and buried it in the wound. Through a third person the soldier sold it to Orlov for £40,000.

Almost every jewel has its legend.
