a pilgrimage to the hundred and ten
places in India connected with Buddhism
and bore back with him five hundred
packages Of books. beside images and
relics, gave an account OF his travels
which sheds more light upon the India
OF that period than any other document.

A New Shrine for Many Millions.

When this extraordinary news has
made its way into the lamasaries of
Thibe., the temples of Japan, the mon
asteries of China and the sacred places
of Ceylon. Siam and Burma, and then
has afterward gradually percolated out
among the natives in the paddy fields. it
may be expected that something like a
Buddhist revival will follow. The ag-
gressive Buddhist priests of Japan have
for several years past been endeavorinS
to promote a revival of this ancient faith
to offset the inrcads Of Christian mis-
sionaries, but they have had no such
cause for enthusiasm and interest as this
find now provides.
Although the relic was not discovered
until late in July-~tEis present articl"
being the first detailed information con-

British officials in India to where it
