The Jain Temples of GiTnar.


The Jain Temples Of Girnar are
very elaborate and beautiful. The
older one, and older portions OF 9th
ers, are of granite; but all the modern
work has been composed out OF soft
oslitic stone which is to be found on
the base of Girnar and abounds over
Kathiawar The principal temples,
seven i'm number, are on the ledge
that runs above the great precipice OF
Girnar. but there are others z: thereu
about on the peak rising immediately
above. and some of these latter are IN
course Of repair, and also of erection,
the funds being supplied not only by
Jains, but 10y wealthy, pious Hindns.
In outward appearance the temples
are much in the usual style Of Hindu
architecture The most striking char
ac.eristics Of their interiors are their
fine tesselated marble pavements !;
shaped and carved pillars, sometimes
of granite and green sveniti their
antique porticoes, and beautiful small
sculptures, and colossal statues. The
central dome of the first temple, that
to Neminath, is curiouslv painted ana
surrounded by female figures. II has
beautiful marble pillars. The pave
ment is composed of alternate slabs of
brown aad white marble. and it colt
tains a large statue of Neminatll, in
black marble with ornancnte6 goli
and jewels, and with Il symbol Of ISL
M inlaid in the marble floor before it.
? There are two or three apartments off
! the central dome the doors are of
carved stone, and there are blocks of
stone on marble stands with nearly a
! thousand small footprints Of disciples
/ OF the Tirthankara. Another temple
has colossal statue covered with
marble like chunGm, of Risha ba, the
first Tirthankara, who is also called
! Adinatha, ard Adj Budhanatha. The
temples are sacred in Parishnath, one
/ of them containing a very large white
marble statue of that saint, though his
! proper color is blue, SO dark that he is
sometimes mistaken for Neminath.
In another, the chief statue is n bhin-
andanatha. with Adinatha on one hand
and Sha ambhavanatha on the other.
Great bells are hung in some of the
temples The temples are all beantl-
fully clean in themselves fitting re
ceptacles for the q and solemn statues
they contain, they are rendered all the
more sticking by ti:ei position on the
edge of a great cipice.--Btdck1cOOd

THE ISvENTIoN OF PUNCTUATION

THE INVENTION OF PUNCTUATION =
The invention of the modern system
of punctuation has been attributed TO
the Alexandrian grammarian, Aristo-
phanes, after whom it was improved
by succeeding grammarians but it
was SO entirely lost in the time of
Charlemagne that he found it necessa-
ry to have it restored bv Warnerfried
and Alcuin. 1t consisted at first of
only one point, used in three ways, and
sometimes of a stroke formed in several
ways. But as no particular rules
were followed in the use of these signs
punctuation was exceedingly uncer-
tain until the end of the fifteenth cen
tury, when the learned Venetian prin-
ters, the Manutil, increased the mum
Der of the signs, and established some
fixed rules for their application.
These were so generally adopted that
we may consider the Manutil as the
inventors of the present method of
punctuation and although modern
grammarians have introduced some
Improvements, nothing but a few par
ticular rules have been added since
their rtime.-CasselFs Popular Educa-
