The Sultan’s Jewels.

One of the finest collections of crown jewels in the world is possessed by the Sultan of Turkey, their value being estimated at $40,000,000. Every Sultan, from the earliest times, has made a point of collecting jewels, and selling none, and thus, through the course of ages, the collection has become enormous. The jewel rooms of the Turkish Sultan resemble nothing so much as the description of Aladdin's cave in the Arabian Nights.
