For a whole week, from September 9 to 16. 1792, thieves, taking advantage of the then prevailing disorder in France, pilâ€" laged the crown furniture repository and the Regent diamond disappesre1 Several thieves were found and guillo tined, but the Regent was not found It was not until December 10, 1703 that the diamond was returned, thoug‘h very mysterlously, All that bocan.» known was that it had been hidden a hole one and a half inches in dism eter which had been bored in a pie~ of the framework of a granary. Several million francs were asked for it, and despite the sucess then ob tained by Law and his famous specu lation, the royal finances seemed in a not suffifficiently good state for such &n expenditure. However, Law spoke about it to the Duke of Saintâ€"Simon, who succeeded in persuading the re gent, and the purchase was madle, but after long bargaining, «o that its price was brought down to two million francs. Contrary to wha‘ was feared the public, far from condemming this purchase, approved it, and the dia mond, called the Regent, became the finest plece of the crown jewels. ! Such an accident almost happened to an even more famous diamond, the Regent or Pitt diamond, which has beâ€" come French national property. The bistory of this diamond is very curiâ€" ous. Its discovery in 1717 has been related by one of those who contriâ€" buted most to its being bought by France, the Duke of SaintSimon. By an extremely rare event an employee in the diamond mines of the Great Moâ€" gul concealed the great gem not upon bis person but actually within his body, and embarked without detection. To crown his happiness, he arrived in Europe with his diamond. He carried it to England, where the King admined it without being able to make up his mind to buy it. From England the man and diamond were directed to John Law, who proposed to the regent its purchase for the King. But the price was too groa‘ for the Regent, who refused to take it. _ It is announcedâ€"and the news is probably trueâ€"that the Bolshevists, at their wit‘s end, have prepared to sell the Russian crown jewels. It is said that they are worth seven million gold rubles. One of the most famous of the gems is the Orloff diamond, acâ€" quired by the Tsarina Catherine II What constitutes the value of this diaâ€" mond is its size as well as its purity; but if it is sold the jeweler who acâ€" quires it can make the greatest profit by breaking it up into small pieces, which would be the cause of great reâ€" gret.
