Calcutta is one of the educational
centers of India, and one finds in the
educational and political. The uni
verrsity Of Calcutta grants degrees and
affiliates to itself the colleges whose
students are preparing for the uni
versity examinations. Besides the
university there are medical, law and
technical schools which draw young
men from the entire country. The
position taken by Lord .Curzon in the
matter of higher education aroused so
much opposition among the native pop
ulation that an association was formed
two years ago for the purpose of rails
ing money to defray the expenses of
students desiring to study abroad.
Last year fourteen students were Sc
lected and sent to different countries.

The botanical garden, while not equal
in variety and beauty to the gardens at
Buitenzorg and Handy, has one object
of growing interest. namely. gigantic
banyan tree. This tree is nearly a
century and half old and shades a
in circumference. Great arms run out
from the parent trunk and these are
supported by 464 aerial roots or minor
trunks, some of which are several feet
in diameter. Seen from a distance the
tree presents a very symmetrical ap-
pearance, and, as it is still growing, it
is likely to become, if not already, the
largest tree in the world
The geological garden contains some
excellent specimens. We were es-
pecially interested in the Bengal tigers,
in red-nosed African mandrill (Which
looks like a cross between hog and an
ape), and in the monkeys. Three of
the latter belong to the shouting variety
at least, they do shout. When the
attendant gives the cue they set up
such a chorus Of ear-splitting yells as
one seldom hears. The echoing and re
echoing makes din before which the
noise at a football game seems tame

everywhere, and the securing of these
pots seems to give employment fol-
leisure moments.
While much carving is done on the

are numerous. The water buffalo is tc

beast of burden: The Indian bullock
is smild-eyed beast, usually white OF
