with their hands extended crying
"bachsheesh" until it makes your
head ache.
On our way back from Darjeeling
heavy fog settled down over the
mountains and shut out most of the
view. 1t was cold and rather disa-
greeable. We repeated the sleepless,
broken night by changing cars and
listening to the natives yell them
selves hoarse along the way.
We arrived at Calcutta at about /
o'clock, an hour late, as usual, cross,
tired, sleepy and peevish. This brave
bunch of world viewers had shivered
all the way2up the mountain, shiyered
at the hotel and melted back into q
hot climate and dust again during the
four days away from the ship.
Calcutta
Probably you have heard of it, If
YOU have only heard of it you should
smell it-once. 1t is one of the most
fearfully filthy places ever invented
in the native section. However it is
only right to say that the English
section has broad streets, many good
business buildings, with splendid and
imposing public buildings. This
covers only a small portion OF the
city. The population amounts to
/ 1868 .292, which could be reduced
about 80 per cent, if quality were con-
sidered. Some may think our deduc-
ton for depreciation and rot is too
low, if we can half way succeed in
describing the place as is.

DARJEELING, THE FLAG.
STAFF OF INDIA-IN
ONE WAY ONLY
(,nl. r.. 8. Rreen'S Twentv-fhird Latter

Calcutta, Feb. 26
Sure we've all been to places where
we were glad to have been, and also
returned. That goes for Darjeeling
up in the Himalayas and also for Cal
cutta the dump up the river from
Diamond Harbor, where we parked
our ship before wandering away to
Darjeeling, some $50 miles up into the
Intervals of Bengal. This country has
everything, including golf.
We let our mud hooks down up the
Hooghly river in Diamond Harbor
February 21st and that afternoon
were invited out on a tender for a
42-mile jaunt further up the Hooghly
to Calcutta, where we were to be fed
and watered and entrained for OAR
jeeling, city located 1000 feet uI
in the Himalayas- the same
altitude as that of Flagstaff. That's
why it suggested the idea of its be-
ing the Flagstaff of India-not be-
cause of its people or local conditions
We were an hour late getting to
Calcutta owing to a black smoke and
fog settling down on. the big river
along about Z o'clock. We were but
toned in as though chucked into a
knapsack. The native boats which fill
the wide river, carry no lights, conse-
quently traffic here at night under
such conditions is no joke.
The English captain of our tender
had a bad two hours, but compli-
mented his Indian crew with being
able to see in the dark don't know
whether they could see in the dark oil
not, but heavens how they could yell
at each other now and then as we
crept along, turning and twisting.
The Hooghly is great river and
runs from one to ten miles wide and
has many of the characteristics of the
Mississippi in moving its bottom
around, thus causing the pilot heap
of trouble in finding enough water to
navigate in. We nearly ditched ma
tive six-man row boat in the dark
This raised bedlam among the crew
and reached out into the surrounding
country. With the means of search
light the captain eventually locked us
along about 8 o'clock at the Outram
docks and we ditched the good boat
"Homall'' for s'train" motors and
scudded to Sealdah railroad station
In the "refreshment' room we were
refreshed slightly with a seven-course
meal, half of which could have been
eliminated so far as we were con-
cerned With our hunger thus partly
placated, we were run into a train
chute for second-class accommoda-

tic and beautiful places thinking of
the contrast, lest we note them down
first.
We did not visit the "Black Hole of
Calcutta where some 200 British
subjects were smothered to death
during one of the mutinies years ago
but we stopped at the Grand hotel,
which hotel and accommodations i'm
pressed us that all said about the ORR
ginal BLACK Hole" was true but pos
sibly only partly told.
The "Jain temple" built some 30
years ago by better caste of Hindusl
which includes the educated business
men, is undoubtedly one of the most
elaborate and beautiful things of the
kind we have visited on the whole
trip. The entire interior and exterior
lis a mass of beautiful colors done in
mosaic The inner shrine was done
in silver. Diamonds glittered on the
head of the goddess within. The mass
of brilliant colors, delicately worked
into the pillars, sides and dome; on
the outside and even on the steps
leading up into the temple, give an
ensemble most beautiful. In the
SJOuIlQo NClI AiOWC1 DShS
each set off by mosaic work. It was
all of colored glass and stones set in
marble and highly polished. (Did these
Hindus originate the stained glass
church window idea in America?)
This temple, which has been added
to and kept up since its inception in
1867, was a gift to the Jains caste by
Raj Buddree Dass Bahabur Maxim to
the viceroy. You may not know him,
but he spoke quite eloquentIy and was
the big noise around here in his day.
Peacocks strut about the place in
profusion, including fish in a pond in
the rear. | am not sure that fish
strut, but hope so. | saw one in the
pond that looked very dignified, any
how. Just to clinch our argument that
the place was most seriously good to
look at, we went back and went bare
footed for second time the following
day That's some recommendation

for temple from "us," having ming
led with them by the thousand during
the past months internment iii the
Orient, where temples crowd our main
thoroughfare. These jams (it is pro-
nounced like the tough guy speaks of
his lady friend "jane"), take for
their lodge motto: Regard for life is
the highest virtue" They also believe
in reincamation, which amt quite so
good, when you notice what sort Of
things live around here.
But I didn't try to start anything
or change their ideas, feeling that |
didn't have to stick around and see
how the thing worked out.
The marble palace in Muklaram
Babu street (just mention the street
number on account of the name, also
because you might try to pronounce
| it) was worth casual glimpse. The
big bum who had the money, some
chowlingree or other, had hobby
for digging up statues, peacocks,
paintings and such stuff, and even
tually gave the place over as a sort
of museum, where bunch of Indian
natives collect from the visitors.
| Queen Victoria's memorial, of
white marble, built like the capitol
building at Washington, not quite so
large, but on that pattern, costing six
million, was most impressive. Fort
Williams, the headquarters of British
troops, the race tracks and vast polo
grounds, all were interesting and
showed conclusively that England was
doing things and making India pay
for its upkeep. They apparently are
partly for use and partly to impress
the natives with the power of the
government.
The native part of the city can not
properly be described in print
The streets are narrow, filthy and
winding, filled with a rabble of So
called humanity living in a condition
that would make hog raiser shudder
and agonize for fear of their health.
