During my visit to Delhi | spent some
time in the great palaces there, and took
photographs in the famous audience hall
of this same Shah Jahan. This room was
of white marble inlaid with Jewels and
precious stones the ceiling was of solid
silver, and when put up it cost almost a
million dollars. The silver was stolen and
carried away, but an imitation of 1t in
wood has taken its place at the direction
of Lord Curzon The wooden ceiling can
not long last, for the white ants which eat
everything wooden, are feasting upon It,
