"I EUROPE NO LONGER REVELS IN JEWELS i Paris, July 17.?Europe's four year "jewel jag" is about over, and the Paris jewel trade foresee-s the passing of the crisis in the trade that resulted from the dumping of about 'a billion francs worth of stolen, confiscated and smuggled jewels on the Paris market. Leon ard Rosenthal, the jewell expert employed to value the Hapsburg treasure, says the collapse in. the precious stone market was prevent [ ed only by the war's creation of [ enough profiteers to absorb the over-supply. The flood of jewels, Rosenthal says, came in three waves. The first was brought by fleeing Russian aristocrats who smuggled out fami ly fortunes in their hair or sewn in the linings of their clothing. Some-I times valuable stones were swallow ed to be recovered by the use of emetics, and were even embedded in the flesh. One Russian prince sold for 3,500,000 francs a group of emeralds his ancestors oougnt two centuries ago for 480,000. One of the Czar's emeralds was sold in Paris for 32 times its cost. A Rus sian duke congratulated upon sell ing his jewels for 10,000,000 re plied, "How can I live on 500,000 francs a year?" His pre-war expen ditures in Petrograd varied be tween 12,0100,000 and 1 15,0?10 000 francs yearly. The secoiid -wave consisted tf jewels valued at 300,000,000 to 400,000,000 confiscated by the Soviets. The third wave was the 1 dispersion of the collections of 'king and kinglets, princes and dukes of Germany and Austria Hungary. The Hapsburg court fur | nished the treasure of 10 cen j turies and for this Emperor r.tiorlnc Qfl>anic ooVorl Kh HllO flflft ' francs but took between 21),000, 000 and 30,000,000. i . | A MILLION FOR REMEDY ANY ONE FIVE DISEASES { Washing-ton.
