Repeopling n Deserted City.

A curious attempt Is being made for tho
first time to occupy again some Of the old
stone cities of northern and central India,
built by Mohammedan or Hindoo dynas-
ties and long ago abandoned to malaria,
the panther and the snake. OF these Ak
bars Windsor, Fathepoor Sikri, near Agra,
is tho finest. Around his sons capital of
new Delhi there arc two or three old CAPT
tails, such as Rudyard Kipling werdly de-
scribes in his " Naulakha."
The present experiment Is being made
with Champaner, long the capital Of the
Iiindoo sovoreiRns Of Guzcrat, on the bor-
der between Rajpootana and Baroda. Since
tho Emperor Hoomcgoon took 1t in 1913,
and it fell again to the Marathas, the great
city has been dcsolato. Mnharajah Sindia
gave it to the British government at the
beginning Of this century, with its mag
nif!cont mosque tomb, palace, temples
and gardens all walled in.
Champanor stands at the foot Of Paw
gadh, II lordly hill, which rises to $500
feet, and is tho center of II land as fertile
as the adjoining Malwa. The cultivation,
promoted by tho peace and prosperity of
our rule, has been gradually banishing
malaria, so that one of the city suburbs,
Halol, Is hcalthily occupied and beauti-
full garden has been laid out.
Now an official, DR.. Pollen, has, before
leaving India, induced the Mohammedans
to undertake the gradual reoccupation of
the city and has recommended government
10 settle n colony of police army veterans
within its walls, with free grants of land
tutsidc. The tomb of Siknndar Shah, built
IN 1926 BY "A brothers love, as the TAI Ma
hal at Agra was erected by husbands, is
still beautiful. Tho people arc chiefly alb

dive into the canteen, always emerging In
time to give them another command be-
fore they reached the end Of the parade
ground, One day, however, as he was
drinking pint of beer, some of 1t almost
choked him. Out he rushed, spluttering
and coughing, just in timo to see six of
tho men marching through gate and tho
rest standing, marking time, with their
faces close to tho wall. Before no got his
throat cleared tho colonel came upon the
scene, and at once commenced to make
inquiries. That man does not drill the

were discovered about mile Off, still
marching, and were complimented for
