MARKS CENTER OF THE EARTH
Lofty Monument In Delhi, India.
Erected After a Meteorite Fell
Noar the Spot.

The idea that the earth Is not fiat
disk, but globe, does not seem to
have "caught on" In India, for they
still talk about a certain place being
the "center of the world.
In Delhi stands lofty monument
that goes by name Of Kutub Minor,
a structure towering high above tho
temple of which 1t is part.
The appearance Of this curious
piece of architecture Is that of q
number Of tiers of columns, seemingly
tied together la bundles. At big in
tervals there are balconies.
The Kutub Minor lie Of special inter.
est and note in the world over which
the religion Of the teacher Buddha
holds sway. Here. long ago, tradition
has 1t a meteorite fell, sent by the
ruling powers in the mystic world be-
yOnd this life to mark in the exact
center of the world.
