speaks OF an ancient ruin. We are
now in the heart of the ancient city Of
Chaityagii, which flourished from 400

being reached under King Asoka,
about $50 D. c. Tradition says that
it covered an area Of IL miles by g.
on the tongue of land formed by the
junction of the Betwa and Bes rivers
Scattered over this area there are
still left in more or less preservation,

able architecture ofthegreat Buddhist
period of Indian history, of which the
great tope of Sanchi is the finest: it is
probably the work of Asoka, so far
as its best architectural features are
concerned. The tope itself is a huge
dome of brick, faced with stone, slight
~ eliiptical log feet in diameter and
AZ feet high. This is placed on a cir
cular platform, 100 feet in diameter
and a feet high, which, surrounded
by sculptured rail, made a walk for
worshipers all round the top. The
beautiful rail lies in fragments at the
base, and it is pity the Government
does not erect and restore it as far as
possible. The entire topeissurround
ed by another rail and four sculptured
gateways; it is superbly placed on the
leveled summit of a beautiful hill
about 800 feet high All round. on

ii. Hennequin OF Paris, France,

aerial navigation, arrived in the city
a few days ago from San Francisco

in Fontenay at the time Tissindier

ture ia balloon. The traveller is an

story OF their fall OF mile as tine

They assembled from Tissindier,s
house ia Paris and iioated of toward
Nincennes and, as the wind was some
what strong from the northeast, the
two men soon disappeared from view

There seemed to he no atmosphere

hungry pack Of our enemies appeared
below ns-howling, snarling and fight

that long, dismal night we remained
there, listening to their discordant
tones, and thinking OF the dear ones

The night was intensely cold and in
spite OF all my efforts TO keep my
sluggish blood in circulation, i became
so benumbed before morning, that /

Of my wife, who begged me to hold
out, and not leave her a widow and
my children fatherless.
Daylight came at last and never wag

| scarcely need add that we arrived
there IN due time TO find our poor
night-long terrified children almost
frantic with Joy at our safe return.
