NANK1N's PORCELAIN TowER.-Ihe Guy
of Nankin, once the capital OF emma, hss
for centuries been famous to the "oaroar'
ansn of the outer world for its porcelain
tower-a relic of the splendor of it's ancient
dsvs before Pekin usurped its dignity as the
seat of the empire. The place is now, TO
great extent, city of ruins, and the Guy
nror or has shrunk to one fourth OF It's form
ar dimensions. The porcelain tower WAS
hnilt quite early in the fifteenth century ny
the order of the Emperor Yungloh, ana -
a work of fiial piety. 1t was monument
to the memory of his mother, ana De De
sermined that its beauty should as Tar o.iI-
shine that of any similar memorial as ,ne
transcendent virtues of the parent, IN her
oon,s avea surpassed those of the rest OF ne!
CO.. M expense was spared in its erection
end ira total cost is estimated at more IMAM
three quarters of million Of our own
money. The work was commenced at noon
on a certain day in 1413, and occupied near
" twenty years IN lis completloh- Aue
total height of the porcelain tower wa
more than two hundred feet, ana IL was
faced from top to bottom Win tne anesS
porcelain, glazed and colored. 1t consisted
of nine stories, surmounted by o spire, GU
the summit of which was ball OF brass,
richly gilt. From this ball eight iron
chaius extended to as many projecting points OF
the roof. and from each chain was SUSPENDED
bell, which hung over the face of the tower. ms
same arrangement was carried out IN every story'
These bells added much to the graceful appear,
snce of the tower, breaking its otherwise iormal
aud monotonous outline. Round the outer lace
of each story we're several apertures for lanterns,
and When these were all illuminated, Weare tod IN
the magniloquent language of the Chinese ms,
torisn, that their light illuminated the entire
heavens, shining into the hearts OF men, ana
eternally removing human misery 1t is not
difficult to imagine, however, that the appearance
of the tower on such an occasion must baVe been
beautiful in the extreme. On the top OF the tower
were placed two large brazen vessels and BOWL
which together contained various costly articiesn
the nature of an offering and charm TO avert
evil Influences Among these were several pearls
of various colors each supposed to possess miracu
lous properties together with other stones
and quantity of gold and silver. In this con-
nection designed to represent the best treasures
of the State were also placed a box: OF tea. some
pieces of silk and copies of some ancient Chinese
writings The tower was demolished by the
Tapping rebels in 1858.
