this unrivalled edifice, men come from
all parts of the globe and having look
ed upon its indescribable beauty, they
Join in the universal praise of the build
ing which Gin solemn brilliance is I'M
surpassed by any human structure" The
building is the tomb of Mumtaz Mahal
and was completed more than $50 years
ago.
Mumtaz Mahal was the adored wife of
the great MOhammedan emperor, Shah
Jahan, who ruled in magnificent splendor
over the vast dominions of India, a hun
dred years before George Washington
was born.
A woman of SURPRISING beauty and
brilliance, she shared with her young
husband all the sorrows and all the
fears he experienced in the eight years
his life was in danger from the perse-
cutions of those who sought to deprive
him of the throne to which he was the
legal heir. And. when, by heroic meas
ures, he finally came to the throne upon
the death of his father, she it was who
had been his councillor, his helpmeet
and his strength.
Not only by the magic of her beauty
anu W.T. out dlSO Dy n6T prudent cOun-
ellis, she became a powerful factor in
the state and held the confidence, the
esteem and the passionate attachment
of Shah Jahan. With ecstatic joy they
ruled over a brilliant court, planning for
the welfare of an empire and for a time
finding life full of happiness and hope.
But soon Mumtaz Mahal died and the
grief of Shah Jahan was inconsolable.
He put on the white robes of mourning;
he lived in seclusion and for two years
he abstained from amusement and pleas
ure. A poet tells us that in sorrow his
hair grew white in a short time:
"His hair was gray but not with years.
Nor grew they white in a single night,
As men would grow from sudden fears;
Ali cankerous grief his heart did
blight
In such grief he planned the erection
70 an immense mausoleum to the dead
queen.
Shah Jahan employed most eminent
artists. architects and masons to be
found in India, Persia, Arabia, Turkey
and other countries; masons came from
Bagdad, Damascus, Delhi and Mutton;
dome builders from Samorkand and Ash
attic Turkey; mosaic workers from Kan
ami and Bagdad; and skilled workers
from al parts of Mohammedan world.
Twenty thousand men were employed
