The original building, "??t 'he present one. for this Is of a comparatively modern period, was built over the place made sacred by the great teacher Buddha, who here received that enlightenment which was the basis of his future teaching, and today Buddhists come from ull purls of the world to pay their homage at this shrine. There Is something very impressive in the sight of some pious Buddhist who has made a Journey of thousuhds of miles, along difficult roods, to rest his eyes on this sacred spot, every Inch of which has been honored by the presence of the Buddha. But what Is found when, one passes Inside the temple of Buddha? Here It an Image, hut strange to say, It hears the "trident" mark, the emblem of Vishnu, and even more strange, the rites are performed by a Brahmin. Could anything be more Incongruous? The pious Buddhist pilgrim places reverently his pieces of gold leaf on the aaered Image of Ids Lord, hut he must pay In his gift to the Brahmin priest who officiates. Nor. Is this nil, for It Is found that the Mahant or gdardlnn of the Buddhist "lloly of Holies" is a Mohammedan, and he can easily how his right to the post. How?

Then with lowered lids she said: " 'What would you do If you had?' " 'Travel.' " Ships on Scrap Heap Ships emne and ships go. hut on the whole we hear very little about them. Here are some remarkable figures about the world's fleet: Last year there were lost through one cause or another 31(1 merchant ships, totaling nearly two million tons, and nearly three-quarters of them were steamers or motor ships. This does not mean that there were | more wrecks, for there were actually fewer; but the huge total of more than 1.1100.000 tons of shipping was scrapped, t lie. biggest figure ever recorded.

The branches of pendent strings were seldom more than two foot long, and In general they were much shorter. . The strings were often of different colors, each having Its own particular j signification. The color for soldiers was red; for gold, yellow; for silver, white; for corn, green. The (pilpu was especially employed for numerical 'and statistical tables, each single Uhot representing ten; each double knot stood for 100; each triple knot for 1,000, etc.; two single knots standing together made 20; and two double knots, 200. In this manner the ancient Peruvians kept the accounts of their army. On one string Were numbered the soldiers armed with slings; on another the spearmen; on a third, those who carried clubs.
