ALL INDIA BOWS TO CASTE
Life, Spiritual and Physical, ls Based
Upon That One Idea, Without
Possible Appeal.

Caste" IL the essence Of Hinduism.
writes Harold Cox. The Hindus, who
enormously outnunlber all the rest Of
the population Of India, are divided
up Into multitude Of castles, re-
ligiously separated from one another.
Into whatever caste q man Is born, In
that caste he remains until he dies.
At the head of the whole system is
the prlestly caste Of Brahmans. But
the Brahmans themselves are divided
into q number Of sub-castes, all keep.
Ing their respective rank, which is de-
termined not BY wealth but by birth.
One Of our best pupils in India was
2 very high-caste Brahman boy. So
high was his caste that he could not
find any one in the neighborhood suf-
ficiently sacred to be permitted to cook
his food. He had to import an uncle,
who lived with him In hut In the
compound and prepared the meals
while the boy was attending classes
In mathematics and English litera.
ture.
Similar barriers run right through
Hinduism. The lowest castes are in
TACT known as the "Untouchables" be-
cause merely to touch them pollutes
Hindu Of higher caste. have my
self seen an Indian servant, when
asked by his English mistress to fetch
shawl for the baby, toss the shawl
to the baby's nurse instead of handing
1t to her, because she, being Of d
lower caste. would have polluted him
II she had touched the shawl before
lie parted with It.
In parts Of southern India, where
the caste system Is even more rigid
than In the north. the Untouchables
are forbidden to walk on certain roads,
lest higher castles should be polluted
merely by seeing them.

THE FIRST WESTERN
RAILROAD TRAIN

|
The first train to run west OF Chi.
cago made its initial trip over the
Galena & Chicago Union Railway. sew
enty-nine years ago. November 20.
1S4S. This infant railway was only
ten miles long, and its western ter
minus is now thickly populated
section. The train was drawn by
locomotive appropriately called the
Pioneer, and this quaint and antigua
ted little engine is still to be seen in
a Chicago museum.
Chicago's history as a grain center
may be said to have begun with the
first trip Of the Pioneer, for on the
first eastward trip 1t brought to the
city several bags Of wheat, which had
been unloaded from farm wagon into
the crude car. Some days later Chi
cago received its first rail shipment Of
live stock, a load Of hogs drawn into
the infant city, now the worlds live
stock market, by the Pioneer.
The Pioneer was but toy iocomo-
tive compared to the giant mechan-
isms that now haul long und heavily
laden trains in and out of the Windy
City. Many steel highways now
stretch Westward from Chicago
across the continent. but the ten.mile
Galena & Chicago Union was the
daddy" Of them all.

GYPSY MOTH PARASITES
ARE ON THE INCREASE

An imported parasite of the gypsy
moth known as Apanteles melanosceIus
has been present in New England since
1911 and is now firmly established 1t IS
spreading rapidly from the coaanlD
which have been liberated and b b.
creasing in spite of it's being severely
attacked by another parasite, according
to department bulletin 1923, by S. S.
Crossman, now issued by the United
States department of agriculture.
The fact that the parasite is able to
complete its life cycle on several native
insects adds considerably to it's value as
an introduced parasite and makes its
permanent establishment more certain
than if the gypsy moth were its only
host The parasite has two generations
each year on the gypsy moth and is
very abundant in many small areas 1t
gives promise, says the bulletin, of be-
coming one of the most valuable of the
imported parasites. IS method Of attack
consists of laying its egg1 in the larvae
Of the MOTH
The gypsy moth alta clss both orchard
and forest trees, particularly oaks and
birch. 1t is not fond of conifers, but is
especially destructive in the mixed type
of forests such as are prevalent in New
England.
