Plates of Gold

PLATES OF GOLD.—The throne of the empress of Russia is completely covered with plates of gold, and contains 1,500 rubies and 8,000 turquoises, besides many other rare and costly gems. The throne of the czar, known as the diamond throne, is truly a marvel. It is generally conceded that Russia possesses more precious stones than any other nation, a majority of which were procured at the expense of blood. The jewels in the cathedral of Moscow alone are valued at $12,000,000.—Sel.
