Is known that the trustees OF Lowell

trying to get together on a new con-
tract. The old contract for street
lighting does not expire for over sour
years. The people OF Lowell are not
satisfied with the light. and the COM

should be, and the town trustees are
firm in their demand that the company
live up to their contract. The com

to bring the service up to its proper
efficiency will mean that new wiring

means a big outlay of money which

MILLIONS IN GOLD

Unlike Africans, They Garry
Precious Metal Away and
Hide It.

Delhi, Special: There is buried in In
dia every year sum of gold equal to
the amount taken yearly from the
mines of South Africa. The African
miners extract this treasure from the
grip of the earth to put it in circula-
ton; the natives Of India seize it with
avidity, hoard it and hide it, save it
and lay it away. They guard it for the
future and effectively remove it from
circulation. Thus is the work Of the
South African miner largely nullified.
These facts are derived from statis-
tics issued lately by a firm of Indian
bankers, and the amount of wealth in
gold, jewels and precious stones stored
away and buried in india today is
practically incalculable
Gold is put also to some queer uses
in India. In some parts Of the coun-
try thin gold leaves are taken by the
people for medicinal purposes, and
thousands of dollars worth is consumed
In regilding the domes Of religious

Many a poor lad has been berated by

RAPID DEVELOPMENT
is APT TO BE BURDEN
By DR.. Franz Boas In Science

"A study Of the phenomena of growth
OF various groups of the same popu-
lation has shown that early develop
ment is concomitant of economic wen
being. and that characteristic of the
poor Is the general retardation in early
childhood, and the later rapid growth.
1t follows from this that there is a
corresponding, although not eqdal. re-
tardation In early mental development,
and crowding of developmental
processes later on, that probably place
a considerable burden on the body and
mind of the poor, which the we'll fed
and cared for do not bear The general
laws OF growth show also that a re-
tardation kept up for an unduly long
period cannot be made up in the short
period of rapid growth; so that it
would seem that, on the whole, excess
sive retardation is an unfavorable
element in the growth and Develop
ment of the individual. Whether there
are similar disadvantages in con-
siderable amount Of early acceleration
Is not so clear
