BUDDHIST TEMPLE FOR LONDON.

It has collected £lO,OOO, and the work will soon be begun. The temple has been designed by an English architect. Its front elevation will be copied froma design in one of the famous caves at Ajanta, in the state of Hyderabad. The Ajanta Caves, cut into the sides of a river ravine, date from 200 B.C. and were once used as a Buddhist college and monastery.
