ones as I entered my bath
  place one morning.  I recognised them for the descendants—­decadent
  somewhat—­of the famous fellows who played Alberich to the Gold of
  Hindostan and regarding which Herodotus (commonly known as the Father of
  History, or of Lies, I forget which) asserted that they were of the
  bigness of foxes and ran with incredible swiftness.  He evidently got
  this yarn from Pliny—­

    “Indicae Formicae. 
    Aurum ex cavernus egerunt terrae
    Ipsis autem color Fehum magnitudo Aegypti Luporum”
    (Lib. xi. ch. 31)—­

  and passed it on to Sir J. Maundevil, who swallowed it greedily.  “Theise
  pissmyres ben grete as houndes; so that no man dar come to the hilles,
  for the pissmyres wolde assaylen hem and devouren hem” (ch. xxx) For the
  wily method of catching the ants napping, together with other contes
  drolatiques, read Maundevil’s Travels.

  while mere boys, in the heroic defence of Chitor against Akbar. 
Jey Singh, (Sowar Jey Singh.) Succeeded to the throne of Amber in 1699,
  founded Jaipur in 1728.  He wrote the following, which I had not read
  when I visited his observatory at Jaipur “Let us devote ourselves at the
  altar of the King of Kings, hallowed be his name!  In the book of the
  register of whose power the lofty orbs of Heaven are but a few leaves,
  and the stars, and that heavenly courser the sun, small pieces of money
  in the treasury of the Most High.” 
Jheel, A small lake, or pond. 
Jhelum, (Kashmiri, Veth, Hindu, Vetasta, the ancient Hydaspes.)
