That at Delhi One Of the Worlds Re.
mar liable Antiquities.

Among the remarkable antiquities
of India Is the great sundial at Delhi.
IT Is So feet high, the length of the
oblique edges being 116 feet and the
radius OF the circle about 10 feet.
Its construction is unique. A mar
row flight of stone steps, parallel to
the axis of the earth, towers upward.
The walls which support 1t are Of
marble.
The shadow falls upon huge marble
arcs, built out to the right and left,
and accurately indicates the time.
Broad galleries and steps are con.
structed on all sides. The platforms
of the structure were once used It Is
supposed, for smaller astronomical In
struments, which have crumbled away
with the passing years. Before the
year 1900 English tourists found the
building used for horse stalls.
The sun dial is the largest in the
world and is supposed to have been
erected by Jai Sing H., who built great
observatories in many places in India,
and their present massive ruins give
silent testimony to an unsurpassed
knowledge OF the science of astron.
