LONDON, November 11.-Electricity
has become so popular in India. par
ticularly among the rulers and state
officials. that contracting companies
there are hiring scores of electrical
workers in England and placing huge
orders for goods with English manu-
Sacturers. Most of the palaces of In
dian princes and mobiles are entirely
lighted by electricity, and many vii
lagos, even in the remote parts Of
the country, have electric street
lights and some OF the stores are
lighted by the same method.
Native leaders who have visited Eu-
ropean states are largely responsible
for this wide introduction of cleo
tricity.
A plant has recently been estab-
hshed at Chamba, 10000 feet up in
the Himilayas, which supplies power
to some ESQ towns in the vicinity and
Is entirely operated by a native staff.
The Raj Sahib of Wankaner en-
pIoyed English engineers to outline
his palace with electric lights, and
the hundreds Of lights may now be
seen at night for several miles. This
ruler also has placed a powerful
searchlight on the roof OF his palace,
with which he can illuminate the sur
rounding hillsides.
Electric fans, as may be supposed,
are being rapidly introduced among

they saw that conservatism would
