The lido -book tells you it can only be reached by camel, and until a few years ago Vele was true, but the modern car is ubiquitous and the desert track from the south, though bad, Is practicable for motors, Forming a link with the railway 100 miles away. But, let us confess, it is 100 miles of very indif. ferent ground; a helping gland may bo needed now and then, and In the nature of things one does not expect to arrive before the evening. Yellow limestone hills hem in the road for the last score of miles, and save for one fleeting, far -away glimpse the city, though it stands up- on a rock, is securely ]ridden from the traveller until he Is almost at the gates. As we -emerged from the hills the sun set, and seen thus he the quick -fading twilight the city wore a deserted look. But though the des- ert without was bare and empty, the lower street of the town through which the car slowly pushed a way, was densely thronged. The roofs were lined with woolen and children, and an ' ever-increasing crowd of shouting boys fell in behind the cat or raced past it to the farther gates. It was a noticeably good-humored crowd too. The children looked well and happy, and every face wore a cheerful grin of welcome, by no means a universal experience in In- dia to -day. But with every mile of desert Ivo had slipped back a year into the past, and the India of to -day was as far off as the railway. There is no Dak bungalow at Sala - Omer. A. guest -(rouse provides ao- contnrodatton for State guests, but uninvited visitors must make thele own arrangements. Unaware of its attractions, it has never set out to catch the casual stranger. It is Just a part of the desert. Indeed, from the Palace roof it is hard to say where the one begins and the other ends, and the yellow limestone of which the city is built is hewn from its own heart. Amongst the desert's other qualities it shares its inaccess- ibility, and this inaccessibility has given it, metaphorically as well as literally, a place- apart, When the rest of India w u: plunged in turmoil or disorder Jai::almer stood firm, a city of refuge and security; and tra- dition dies so slowly in the East that whilst the Eindea was =klieg the Indian O..ta0 the rich Marwari mer- chants of Calcutta, resorting once more to the practice of their fathers, were sending their valuables to Jais- almer, The rare collection o1' Jain mann cript, housed beneath the carv- ed Jahr 1010ples 1n the t'or't name hero years ago through just such a cause.

The Port itself, said to be the only bastioned fort in India and the an - dent stronghold of the 13hati Raj - puts, who trace their descent from the Moon, was built by Jaisal in A. D. 1166. Surrounded by a bas- tioned wall, it might.be at a guess a quarter of a mile long and is a se- cond city in itself. Its approach is designed on la common Indian plan of a succession of gates, and the argo round stoner, intended for the heads of reckless stormers aro still In situ on the walls. In all its 700 years of history it has been captured once by treachery, but never in fair fight—no mean re- cord even for Rajputana. Inside the Fort is a wonderful medley of tem- ples and houses, streets and squares, with the Palace dominating the Fort as the Fort dominates the city, and commanding.from its frail stone bal- conies a thousand square miles of dgsert.
