Most Hraallfal HulldlnK In World.
The Taj Mahal Is the moot beautiful
building of the world, and It has a beau
tiful setting. It la surrounded by a frame
pet hays teu acres In w hich the structure
Is situated is a wall of low buildings of
11 parts of India come, here to worship.
The. sandstone buildings about the gar
dens are rent houses, In which pilgrims
may stay over night. The gate at the
nuance Is a wonder. It was built twenty
sight years after our Turitan forefathers
landed on Plymouth rock, but it is in per-
carved and is Inlaid
the Koran. Entering it one Vets his fifst
view of the TnJ. Jle sees it looking 'over
a: long row of fountains bordered with
cypress trees and rising, as 11 were, out
of the green. In the. distance the building
looks small. .It is, I Judge, 1.000 feet away,
a marble jewel framed against tho clearest
sky that heaven' ever gave to man. The
daik green of the trees shuts out tho view
on each side, and you look down over the
flashing waters at the great ivory monu
ment. As you do so the crows caw, the
cockatoos fly from tree to tree, the sun
turns the falling waters to
the rich colors of the Hindoo girls)' dresses
add to rather than inur tho beauty of tho
scene.
As you go nearer the Tuj its size rapidly
lncreuues, and when at last you mount the
steps and aland upon Hs plulform you re
alize Us Immensity. The margle foundation
upon which It Ik built covers three acres
and at each corner there is a tower of
marble, or iniuaret, as high as a seven
slory house. The tomb Itself covers almost
an acre. It is a building which rises to
one-third the height o fthe Washington
monument and ends in a central dome,
which floats In the sky. The whole Is of
the purest white marble, so symmetrically
Joined that It seems to be curved out of
on block. The dome looks like a silvery
