The Hindus still have the boarding
habit. Montague & Company, bank
ers, of London, in their annual bullion
letter, estimate that the gold buried
in India in 1912 almost equals the
product of the Transvaal mines for
that twelve-month.
India in 1912 imported E27,SOO 900
in gold or twenty-eight per cent of the
worlds total production. Practically
none of the gold that India imports
ever leaves India again.
The Hindus are constantly regilding
their temples with gold leaf. They
put their savings into gold ornaments,
which adorn the ankles, wrists and
shoulders of their women. One Rajah
has been using gold sovereign to
form a center in each pane of the in.

India absorbs, is simply buried. The

In an area as large as the United

Under the Hudson.

the air pressure in the tunnels un-
der the Hudson river is about half a
pound greater than normal, and, as
his train enters one or another of the
tunnels, the traveller feels this in
creased pressure in his ears, feeling
as If the ear drums were being sucked
in.
If half pound of pressure causes
such perceptible discomt as this, the
discomfort of the caisson worker may
be imagined, toiling in an air pres
sure sometimes of forty pounds.
The caisson worker, when he first
enters his caisson, also feels sucking
in of the ear drums, but with him this
feeling is about a thousand times
greater than that experienced in the
Hudson tunnels. The caisson worker
relieves his sucked-in ears by holding
his nostrils tight shut and at the same
time blowing his nose. This simple
operation seems to open the drums.
By the same operation the traveller
in the Hudson tunnels may instantly
relieve his ear drums also. Now and
then, indeed, caisson-wise travellers
may be seen holding the nostrils shut
and at the sam etime blowing the
nose in true 'sand hog" fashion.
In the tunnels under the river at
Liverpool and Paris, by the way, there
is no perceptible air pressure, and nc
! discomfort to the ears. It is claimed
however, that these tunnels are less
healthy, and their air less pure, than
the Hudson ones.

SENATOR WALSH ON
KIRSCHW|NG AFFAIR
WRITES LETTER TO GREAT FALLS
TRIBUNE IN REGARD TO
THAT "MoBBING."

Washington, D. c., March T.
Stories of the "mobbing" of Repre-
sentative Joseph Kirschwing in Great
Falls because of his vote on the state
fair removal bill, have followed Mon
tana congressman and senators to
Washington, much to their humilia-
ton, and they are doing a lot of ex-
planning.
Having his attention called to re-
ports and local newspaper comment
many times in the last few days, Sena-
tor T. ]. Walsh has sent the follow
ing letter to the Great Falls Tribune,
a paper of no mean standing which
has been considered until this time
as one of the best boosters for Mon
tana:
Senator Walsh's Letter.
To the Great Falls Tribune:
My attention is just called to the
account appearing in your issue of
Monday, February "a, of the exhibi-
ton of savagery directed at Hon.
Joseph Kirschwing by some of the
citizens of Great Falls, on the occa-
sion of his taking his departure for
the capital on the preceding day, and
to your editorial tacitly approving of
the same. I prefer neither to com
ment on nor to characterize their con-
duct, being confident from the some
what intimate acquaintance I enjoy
with many of the participants that
few of them will in time recall their
part in it except with the most poigant
regret. This communication is intend
ed to direct your attention and that
of the public to most significant
silence on your part, touching the rea
son which the mobbing party assigned
to account for the vote of Mr.. Kirsch
wing which provoked their resentment
If he spoke honestly on the floor OF
the house, if he believed the bill In
question to have been born in iniquity
one might regret the darkness of his
mind, but would be compelled to &C
cord the highest praise to his rigid
adherence, under embarrassing cir
cumstances, to what his sense of pub
lie duty demanded of him.
Senator Dragged In.
Mr.. Kirschwing's detractOrs evident
ly disbelieved him. They sought some
unworthy motive for his action ani
believed they found it, according tt
the report in your columns, in a cor
rupt bargain he had made with some
one whereby in consideration of his
vote he was to be appointed United
States marshal. AS it is generally un
derstood that the appointment to tha
Office is made upon the recommenda
tion Of the United States senators, ant
as the conditions, his absence ant
want of direct interest necessarily ex

ously involves me, and the omission
of the Tribune to say word in dis

changed. F'our-ffths Of the Amer

altogether managed by natives.
The highest officials and the cleri-

MS has come from a decision IT
the railway managers made a num-
Der of years ago, that they must e6u-
cate the natives to fill such positions
if they would have permanent en-
ployes at reasonable wages. They
began this, and, wherever possible.

have elevated native firemen on the
engines to locomotive engineers. have
picked out the best native brakemen
n made them conductors. and the
same with every branch Of the opcrat-
ing force.
AS a result, more than half Of the
railways are now by native en-
! plOyes, and that at five or six times the
wages they were receiving when they
entered the employ OF the roads. but
at very much lower wages than for
eigners could be had. The natives re-
ceived from Is to IS cents gold per
day at the time they came into the
service, and they are now earning
from $1.25 to $500 per day. and IN
some cases more.
I am old that this experiment has
proved good for the railways. It has
c~heapened the cost. and at the same
time has popularized the manage
ment. 1t has also helped to create u
middle class in Mexico, in which re
spect the country is woefully lacking.

changes will be continued, and that
the number Of American employees
will be less and less from year 10
