carvings and sculptured figures. Yet what
remains is wonderful. anCs what would re-
ward excavations may be easily inferred.
The ruins belong TO very varied dates;
some going back lowell. before the Chris
tian era, others to three or four centuries
after il, while one very beautiful and eX-
tensive group belongs mainly, if not who'll
ly, to a comparatively late period in Sing
halese prosperity, the middle OF the twelfth
century. Their connection with Buddhism
Is very close the most conspicuous remains
at the present times being commonly tenn
piles, monasteries and dagabas-huge
dome-like structures which in magnitude
are not unworthy rivals of the Pyramids
of Egypt.
One of the most remarkable Of the
groups of ruins is Mimintale. the noun
tain city. A rocky mass arises abruptly
from the plain to a hight of 1000 feet. The
slopes are now covered with dense forest
from the base almost to the top, except
on the space where a gigantic stairway
OF granite slabs leads up TO the summit
This might we'll be taken for part of the
natural hill; in reality it is a huge ruined
edifice, the remnant of a dagaba, in the
construction of which millions of bricks
have been employed. Near 1t are other
dagabas of great size, and besides these
Tock-cut chambers and many other re-
mains of the ancient monastery. The city
is associated with sacred memories in the
history of Ceylon. Here 1t was that the
nation in the third century before Christ,
adopted Buddhism. Gotama himself is
said to have visited the island, the inhab-
itants of which were then snake worship
pers, and to have converted the king. On
a second visit he left his footprint on the
rock as he rose into the air from the sum
nit of Adams Peak. But this sign is ap-
propriated, as is we'll known, by the fol-
lowers of different creeds to diverse per-
sonages. The Mohammedans attribute it
to Adam; the Portuguese Christians were
divided in opinion as to whether it had
been left by St. Thomas or by the eunuch
of Candance, Queen of the Ethiopians. In
deed, some critics go so far as to doubt
whether Buddha ever visited Ceylon at
all. whatever may be the origin of the
