live, and despite the torrid heat never
have ice; the nearest approach to a cool
inc drink is water from canvas bags which
is cooled by constant evaporation. Here
is an interesting comparison: America uses
ice water and suffers sunstroke: Australia,
with much greater heat, knows neither
snnstroke nor ice water
There is fully 30 degrees difference be-
tween the mean temperature of most of
the United States and India, this country
averaging about 80 degrees and most of
Hindostan being above so degrees. Thus
the Anglo Indian is well recognized type
of humanity. with his testy temper and
impaired liver. for which the excessive
temperature is held responsible. Yet it is
possible that the heat after all is not so
mich to blame; no one looks on a Dutch
Indian as a well recognized type o. man

afford torment In his family and torture to
his friends hut great merriment upon the

Dutch East Indies is considerably above
