Every wave of inva- sion that has swept down from the north or west has passed over Indra- pat and its stones would tell a thrill- ing story if they could speak The city has been rebuilt again and again, the last time about 300 years ago, but it has little to exhibit now but its antiquity There is a massive city wall with huge gates, and there is a stone library building erected hum dreds of years before Carnegie was born, but the glory of Indrapat has de- parted. Not far from Indrapat Is the splendid tomb of Humayun and anoth- CT of the Asoka pillars.
 Eleven miles south of the present Delhi is what is called old Delhi (Delhi seems to have had a movable sitel immoIgllized by the famous Ku- tab Minar, or tower, erected near the close of the twelfth century, by one of the earliest Mohammedan conquer ors after the capture of Delhi.

 Suez, April 8. 190s.-Strictly speak ing, the term, Mohammedan India, could only be applied to those from tier districts in which the Moham- medans have a preponderating intlu- ence, but the Mohammedan emperors left such conspicuous monuments of their reign in Lucknow, Delhi and Agra that 1t does not violate the pro- prieties to thus describe this section, The Mohammedans themselves have laid virtual claim to this territory by the establishment of their chief col lege at Aligarh, nearly equi- distant from Agra and Delhi. and their claim is still further strengthened by the fact that while they have not ma- 5ority, they have very large percen- 1age of the population of both of the last named cities.
 In approaching this section of India from the east the tourist passes trough Cawnpore, made memorable 41. the massacre of the British resi- oants during the muiiny of 1857. The recollection of the mutiny Is still fresh in the minds of the British or dciaIs and numerous monuments have been reared in the bravery of the be- sieged garrisons.
 At Calcutta one is shown a black piece of pavement which covers nart of the Black Hole of Calcutta fthe rest of the hole is now covered hv A building) where in 1756 146 hu- man beings were forced to spend the night and from which only twenty three escaped alive. The hole is twen- ty-two by fourteen feet and only six teen or eighteen feet in night, and the awful sufferings of those who per ished there are commemorated by an obelisk which stands near by.
 But the cruelty practiced at the time of the mutiny far more stirred the English heart, and as the uprising was

more extensive, several cities contain memorials. Of these the most beauti- full is at Cawnpore and Is called The Angel of the Resurrection. It Is made of white marble and represents an angel with hands crossed and each holding a palm. It stands upon an elevated mound in a beautiful park and is tnclosed by a stone screen. It was the gift of Lord and Lady Can ming and bears the following inscrip- tion: Sacred to the perpetual mem ory of a great company of Christian people, chiefly women and children, who near this spot were cruelty mur- dered by the followers of the rebel Mana Dhundu Pant, of Bithur, and cast, the dying with the dead, into the well below, on the fifteenth day of July. 1857"
 There is also at Cawnpore, in an other park, stately memorial church. the inner walls of which are lined with tablets containing the names of British soldiers who lost their lives during the mutiny
 Lucknow Is not far from Cawnpore, and here, too, the mutiny has left it's scars and monuments The Luck now residency, now an ivy-mantled rum, was the scene of the great siege that lasted from the 1st of July, 1857, to the l7th of November At the be- ginning there were within the walls 300 British troops and officers. 15o volunteers. 700 native troops. 500 women and children and TOO non-eom- batant natives; total about 5000, When relief came but 1000 remained The night before the arrival of Sir Colin Campbell with achievements one of q besieged, a Scotch girl is1 dreamed q the coming of relief and her dream gave rise to the song so fa miliar a generation ago, The Camp bells Are Coming"
