Now let us note the circumstances under
which these Indian tales and fables reached
the West. We have already seen that one COL
lection Of them the 'Panchatantra,- was trans
lated into Pehlevi by order Of one Of the Sas-
sanid kings OF Persia about $50 A. d. Both
this version and the unmodifed original have
been lost, but two early and notable transla-
tons from the Pehlevi have been preserved
The Syriac one was made about $40 A. d., n
manuscript Of it was found by chance in 1870
and. becoming known TO scholars by a chapter
Of accidents. was published in 1870. The Arabic
translation from the Pehlevi entitled Fables
Of Pilpay," wns made in the eighth century
by a Persian convert TO Islam. In this trans
lation a wicked king Is represented as reclaimed
to virtue by Brahman philosopher named
Bidbah from which Pilpay il derived. This
Arabic version is Of much importance as hav-
ing been the source Of other translatlons which
exercised great influence In shaping the lit
erature Of Europe in the Middle Ages. These
TRANSACTIONS were the later Syriac tabout looo

In tho early davs Of Sanskrit studies Euro
peans became acquainted only with that later
phase Of the ancient language Of India which Is
familiar TO the Pandits and IL commonly
called classical. as distinguished from
Vedio Sanskrit SO II came about that
the literature composed In this dialect
engaged the attention OF scholars almost ex-
clusively down to the middle of the century.
Colebrooke had. 1t Is true. supplied as early as
1905 valuable information about the literature
OF the older period IN hts say "On the vedas "
Nearly quarter OF century later F. itosen,
q German scholar. conceived tho plan Of making
this more ancient literature known TO Europe
from the collection OF manuscripts az the Fast
India House. and his edition of the first eighth
of the "Risveda' was brought out In 1893 shortly
after his premature death II was not. how

vedic philology. published his book 'On the
Literature and History OF the veda" in Is4o,
that the studies OF Sanskritsts received LASTING
impulse In the direction Of the earlier and more
important literature Of the yedas These
studies have since been prosecuted with such
zeal that nearly all tho most valuable works
OF the Vedic, as we'll as Of the later period have
within the last fifty years been made accessible
In thoroughly trustworthy editions. To aid
US In appreciating the magnitude Of the work

that the workers have been far fewer in this
than In other analogous fields, although the
literature OF the Vedas alone at least equal.
In extent what survives OF the writings Of an
cient Greece. Thus In the course Of century
the whole range Of Sanskrit literature, which
In quantity exceeds that of Greece and Rome
put together, has been explored. The great
bulk Of 1t has been edited. and most Of its val
liable productions have been translated by
competent hands There has long been az the
service Of scholars a Ssnskrit dictionary larger
and more scientific than any that either Of the
classical Languages yet possesses. The detailed
Investigations In every department Of Sanskrit
literature are now so numerous that COM
prehensive work embodying the results OF all
these researches has become a necessity. An
encyclopedia covering the whole domain Of
lndo-Aryan antiquity has accordingly been
planned on more extensive scale than that OF
any similar undertaking and Is now being pub
lished at Strasbourg in parts contributed to by
about thirty specialists OF various nationallties
There is no doubt that Sanskrit literature de-
serves far mora attention. not only from
scholars but even from the general reader.

And how ecstatic was the sensation

Great Britain was the first foreign
the Southern Confederacy. She did SO
on May Is, 1861.
Just when the day became divided
into hours is not known. nor Is the
process explained. The Greeks and Ro-
mans measured time by the water glass
and the sun dials. The hourglass, filed
with sand, was the outgrowth of these
vessels, from which the water dripped
through tiny openings.
The most curious street pavement In
the world Is that which has recently
been put down In Lyons. France. 1t is
of glass, the blocks being about eight
inches square, each made up of sixteen
smaller blocks. The glass blocks
are SO tightly fitted together that
water cannot pass between them. As
a pavement glass is said to have greater
resistance than stone. 1t Is poor con-
ductor of cold, and Ice will not form

were so graduated in size that 1t APP
peared the female must have laid the
eggs at regular intervals, probably
three or four days apart, and that incu-
baton commenced Immediately after
the first egg was deposited. Still more
remarkable was the fact that the sexes
alternated. the Oldest bird being male,
the next female, and so on.

Asia $500, Australia 1000 and Africa
