Bodies Under Big Stones.

These cenotaphs are shams. The bodies
they represent are in the crypt below,
which is reached by a rude stairway.
The good mullah who showed us around
was careful to caution US Of the danger
of slipping upon the damp stone.
The sarcophagi occupy precisely the
same positions as those above, and are
evidently of marble, although the dark
ness and the Pickering of the single
candle prevented us from inspecting them
closely
neatness with which the tomb is kept
and the grove that surrounds it. The mut-
labs show a reverence and habits of or
der that do not appear at the tomb of
Timour's wife and other buildings in
Samarkane.
1t is a pity that the Russian govern
ment allows these noble monuments to
perish for the lack of a little money and
little care. OF course. the Mona mme-
dan world should naturally be held re-
sponsible for their preservation. and there
ought to be public spirit enough among
the adherents of that faith in the city of
Samarkand to restore and preserve them.
Several Mohammedan merchants are
very rich, but they take no interest what
ever. They show neither pride nor pa
triotism. and allow some of the noblest
historical structures in the world TO fall
in fragments before their eyes.
Half Thing Remains.
Nearly one-half Of the tiles which cover
the surface of Tamerlane's tomb remain
in place. The best preserved are in shell
tered places under the arches and in the
corners. which indicates that the weather
has had much to do with decay.
There is large crack reaching about
half way down the dome which should be
attended to- When We called the atten-
ton of the mulah to that danger he
shrugged his shoulders and remarked
that Allah was merciful and would pro-
tect the dwelling of his servants, which
he invariably neglects to do.

Comparative Dignity of Tomb.


This mausoleum does not compare in
dimensions, in design or decorations with
the tomb of Napoleon in Paris or the
mosque of Omar in Jerusalem, or with
a dozen other similar structures in Eu-
rope. 1t is like an ordinary chunk Of coal
compared with A diamond in contrast
with the Tai Mahal at Agra and other
tombs in India.
Their material is marble. worked with
exquisite skill, and the detail is as fine
and as perfect as the lines of an en-
graver, while the Cur Amir is a mass of
masonry, of excellent proportions and
impressive only by it's size and the recol-
lection that the barbaric love of color
possessed by its builders caused it to be
covered with an acre or two of glistening
porcelain.
1t was built by Tamerlane himself, be-
tween the years 1895 and 14O4. at the
heighth of his power and glory. That
extraordinary man, evidently, fearing his
name would be lost in oblivion. endeavor-
ed to place perpetual reminder of his
character and achievements before the
eyes of posterity.
Lest they. should forget who he was
and what he did, he caused the portals
and the pediments of the building to be
inscribed with bombastic eulogies of him
self. similar to those engraved upon the
in Egypt
The walls are made of gray virireous
bricks, made in the neighborhood, similar
Tn shape and size, to those used in Pom
peii. The tiles. made in Persia and
brought more than nine hundred miles
upon the backs of camels. are about six
inches square. three-quarters of an inch
thick and similar to those with which
the exteriors of all great buildings in
Samarkand were decorated.
Inclosed in a Grove.
The mausoeum stands within grove be-
tween the old city of Samarkand and
the new Russian settlement. 1t is in
closed by a low balustrade of stone, we'll
preserved and we'll kept, and the grove
is musical with the sounds of, running
water.
The tomb proper is a cartridge shaped
dome 100 feet high. On the lower half of
the elevation the walls are straight and
veneered with tiles covered with inscrip-
tons from the Koran. The upper half is
slightly dubious or melon shaped and the
surface is creased with narrow lines to
the apex.
The tomb is approached through mon
umental archway sixty feet high and
thirty-SiX feet wide at the base. which
was also veneered with tiles Beside it
of the dome-perhaps 40 feet-which evil
IDENTIFY was originally much higher and
has been broken off at the top. At the
foot of this minaret Is mosque of Ordi-
nary size and description.
The group Of buildings covers full
acre at least, perhaps more, and the
walls are of surprising thickness. often
showing twenty-five and thirty feet of
solid masonry. If this were not so they,
would have entirely disappeared before
