contains about a hundred students. The main building, seen in this view, is of white marble. [Sidenote: 31. Chand Pol Gate, Jaipur.] [Sidenote: 32. A Street in Jaipur.] [Sidenote: 33. Chand Pol Bazaar, Jaipur.] [Sidenote: 34. A Wool Cart, Jaipur.] Next we visit Jaipur, a walled city surrounded by rocky hills crowned with forts, the capital and residence of the Maharaja of Jaipur State, the best governed of all the Rajput States. This is one of the entrance gates, and through the archway may be seen the crenellated wall of the city, with thatched huts built against it. Here is a street within the city, with a fort-crowned rock visible at the end of it, and here is the Bazaar. Jaipur has a modern aspect, for it is a busy and prosperous commercial centre. Here is a wool cart in the city. The streets are broad—perhaps the broadest in the world—and cross one another at right angles, and at night are well lighted with gas. [Sidenote: 35. The Samrat Yantra, Jaipur Observatory.] One of the most interesting of the old Indian observatories, with great stone instruments, even larger than those of Benares, is in this city. It was constructed at the beginning of the 18th century, and has recently been restored by the progressive Maharaja. This is the great Samrat Yantra, or sundial, the largest in the world. The gnomon is 75 feet in height. Notice how small in comparison is the keeper of the observatory, who may be seen standing just outside the line of the shadow on the circumference of the dial. In the distance, above some dwelling houses, is visible the clock-tower of the Maharaja’s palace, the time of which is regulated by this sundial. [Sidenote: 36. The Palace Gardens, Jaipur—Crocodiles.] [Sidenote: 37. The Same, Tomb of a pet dog.] [Sidenote: 38. Flamingoes at Jaipur.] [Sidenote: 39. Sita Ranji Temple, Jaipur.] The palace stands amid beautiful gardens. We have here a tank in these gardens showing the Maharaja’s crocodiles, and here is the tomb among the trees of one of the late Maharaja’s pet dogs. Outside the city walls are fine public gardens, covering some forty acres, containing an aviary and menagerie. Here is a group of flamingoes, caught in the neighbourhood. Finally, we have one of the temples in the city, built of red sandstone and finely carved. [Sidenote: 40. The Lake and Palace, Amber.] [Sidenote: 41. Shish Mahal, Amber.] [Sidenote: 42. The Palace, Alwar.] [Sidenote: 43. The Same from above.] A few miles from Jaipur is Amber, the ancient capital of Jaipur State, but now abandoned and in ruins. Here we have a view of the old Palace and the Lake, and here one of the many fine buildings, the Shish Mahal. Next we see the Palace at Alwar, a comparatively modern city, the present capital of the State of Alwar, and then we have a view over the palace looking down from the hill above.
