Mr.. Editor
The Town Commissioners having
decided to keep open Milbourne Ave.
as a public street, it is to be hoped
that they will see that its proper
width of forty feet in the clear is
maintained, and that the property
owners on the same put down their
pavements in order that it may ap-
pear as one of the public highways
of the town and not as a neglected
alley.

HINDU IDEA OF SEVEN SEAS"
Writer in Boston Herald Shows That
Expression Is Older Than the
English Language.

The question as to the origin and
meaning Of the term The Seven Seas
having been raised in this column. !
am surprised, says a writer in the
Boston Herald, that as yet no one has
called attention to the fact that the
expression is far older than the Eng
fish language, antedating even the
science of geography as we under
stand ii. In prehistoric Hindu thought
our world consists as to its solid parts
of seven couCentric, cOntineEsl Dvi-
pas, whose names are Jambu. Plaksha,
Salmali, Kusa, Krauncha, Saka and
Pushkara. According to the sacred
Vishnu Purana; "They are surrounded
severnlly by seven great seas-the sen
of salt water Uavana). Of sugar-cahe
juice tIkshu), Of wine (Sural. Of clari-
fed butter (Sarpis), or curds OadhD,
Of milk Dugdha), and Of fresh water
Cala). Jambu-dyipa is the center Of
all these, and in the copies Of this is
the golden mountain Meru." Jambu
is the dvipa occupied by human he
lngs. Meru the indescribably glorious
north polar mountain by which the
portal to the heaven or heavens Is at
tainable.
In oriental literature, therefore, the
expression "the seven seas has no ref
erence to the bodies of water named
seas by our geographers. but is an in
teresting survival Of the geocentric
world view which we of the western
nations have lost, but which all ortho-
dox Brahmins and Buddhists still hold
sacred and true, It's recent appear
ance in occidental literature Is doubt
less more due to Kipling than to any
other writer.
