ND IA
AND ITS PEOPLES
By Copt. l. R. CIoud Robinson
A BRIEF SURVEY OF
INDIAN HISTORY

IF WE try to form mental picture
of Indian history, we see a con.
fused procession of kingdoms taking
shape and dissolving again. Here and
there great figures stand out-the
founders of mighty dynasties or the
makers of kingdoms. At one moment
we are dazzled by the magnifcence of
some unusually brilliant reign; in the
next, we are left contemplating the
ruins Of all this greatness subsiding
amidst anarchy and confusion.
In the Fourth century, B. G., Chan
dragupta holds our attention as he
wrests an empire from the generals
of Alexander. A century later we
find Asoka is equally compelling for
his patronage of Buddhism, which re-
suited in it's becoming one of the
greatest religions in the world. In the
Second, Fourth and Seventh centuries,
we catch passing glimpses of great
sovereigns in Kanishka, Samudragupta
and Harsha; and in the Eighth cen
fury we witness the rise of the cele-
brated warrior clans of the Rajputs.
During the Rajput dominion Buddhism
was attacked and vanquished by Hin
duism.
Hardly have we realized the mean
ing and greatness of the Rajput sway
than we see new forces pouring
through the defiles of the northwest
frontier, conquering, Staying and pro-
selytising, and assailing Hinduism
with militant fanaticism inspired by
creed which recognized only one
God. With this Mohammedan con.
quest of India, we inevitably associ-
ate the fierce figure Of Mahmud of
Gazni in the Eleventh century, and
the resplendent epoch of the Mogul
dynasty. Towards the close Of the
Mogul period, we see the close of the
Marathas Of the Deccan, and once
more we witness that familiar sight in
Indian history of a great empire crum-
bling and finally disappearing from
the land.
While there is romance in plenty to
color these feeting pictures of the
mind, our impressions, based on hard
fact, will show us that it is war that
casts it's sinister shadow over the
whole; the result Of fierce ambition
and clash of rival creeds. Nor does
the early period of European ascend
ancy in the East differ in this respect
from the eras which preceded 1t.
Spain, Portugal, France, Holland and
Great Britain, fought fercely for do
minion until at length single power
emerged triumphant.

ONE CANNOT GENERALIZE
ABOUT INDIA

n LNE people out of ten still talk
of the people of India, when they
mean the peoples of that continent.
When over period Of time one has
been brought into contact with the
business-like parsi of Bombay, the in
dolent and easy-going Burman, the
cultured Brahman of southern India,
the primitive Kohl or Bhil of the jun
giles of Central India, the emotional. in
habitant of the towns of Bengal, the
cheerful bill men of the eastern Hima-
layas, the great landowners of the
United Provinces and the Punjab, the
proud aristocracy of Rajputana, the
wild Afridi of the Northwest frontier
and the picturesque people of Balu-
chistan, one realizes it is impossible
to generalize about India.
One does not generaize about Eu-
rope, and in some respects Europe is
far more homogeneous than India.
Nevertheless there are certain rough
congratulations which may be made.
Thus it may be said that India is es-
sentiaIly an agricultural country, q
per cent of her people, or approx
mately 219.OOO,OO0 being dependent
in one form or another upon agri,
culture for their livelihood. The pop
ulation as whole lives in small
towns and villages. There are on the
whole of this huge continent less than
$50 towns with population Of 10000.
and only 80 towns with population
of 100000 and upwards.
Again, take the case of climate. In
general way India is hot country
and the fact that there are parts of
India where cold weather Is expert
enced during certain seasons, and 9th
err parts where winter of almost arctic
severity prevails, does not disprove the
general contention. If India were not
a hot country, it is unlikely that her
people would consume about 100000
miles of cotton cloth every year, as in
point of fact they do
II may also be asserted that as a
general rule the outstanding charac-
teristics of Mohammedan architecture
are it's simple grandeur of outline, its
purity and it's stateliness. while Hindu
architecture is characterized by an
amazing detail of ornamentation and
elaborate intricacy of design.
Lastly. it is undoubtedly the case,
excepting in those regions which are
dominated by Mohammedanism, that
the Hindu doctrine Of transmigration
exercises an almost universal sway.
These are CONGRATULATIONS which are
unuuestionably true. But having made
them as a protest against too rigid
Interpretation of the statement that
one cannot generalize about India, let
me add that subscribe to 1t on the
whole.

Electric Light Helps Wheat

The Canadian agriculture depart
ment, at the Ottawa experiment sta
ton, is conducting experiments in
the direction of improving the wheat
crop Of the country and by crossing
the grain and producing hybrids, it
is hoped to produce harder varieties
and possibly a grain which will
grow two crops a year. Some trials
Of stimulating the growth Of the
seed by the use Of banks of electric
lights have resulted in the produc-
ton Of the hybrids in one-half the
usual time. Thus experiments which
usually require eight years are be-
ing done in four. The element of
time in this work is very important.

Dye Reveals Presence
of Cancerous Growth

DR.. Arnold A. G. Butts, director
of the Emery laboratory of Hahne-
mann hospital in Philadelphia, an
nounced that progress has been made
in the development of a dye which
will make it possible to detect in
ternal cancers in the early stages
of their growth. So far the dye,
which has been in use in the hospi-
tai for two years, has been employed
only as an aid to early diagnosis.
Doctor Butts believes it will provide
an accurate method of detecting can
cerous growth and will pave the way
for prompt surgical removal Of the
cancer or treatment by radium or
X-rays. The dye in diluted form is
injected directly into the veins of
the natient.

The Wall of Pretense

The train stopped with such sud.

CHAPTER II-Continued

There was one small sheaf Of GER
not to sell for two years at least.
But these went into brokers' hands
before Mr. and Mrs. Courtney Roth
left Boston. However clever one may
be, there are times when currency Is
absolutely necessary, and Roth ex-
planned that with lovely young bride
on his hands this was one Of the times.
He passed lightly over the fact that it
was Linda's money that furnished the
means of their migration. He forgot
the unpleasantness as quickly as pos
sible, and advised her to do the same.
The Roths went around the world,
but not as rapidly as they had planned.
1t took two years to go as far as they
had counted on going In six weeks.
But they did not travel as the crow
flies; they went as the fox runs-from
cover to cover, wherever the grass was
greenest and the hares most plentiful.
Not a bad two years, If you didn't
care too much, gay two years If
lovely frocks and brilliant restaurants
were enough; If you didn't mind ugly
scenes with landlords, and delayed
luggage. If you were careful about
making friends and chose them among
people who had delightful houses and
played bad cards. Linda was made
amazingly beautiful and interesting by
all this travel and change, and Court
new Roth held his head higher than
ever. Wherever they went people re-
marked about them.
"What a lucky pair. They have
everything. Good looks, popularity,
and wonderful times! Life is per-
petual play-for them"
It was-a desperate sort of play
that carried on rather grimly behind
the scenes.
Linda learned all her husband could
teach her In those two years, and If
she did not respect him she liked him
in a tolerent way, plying his boyish-
ness and sometimes even admiring his
GOODNESS in the face of overwhelming
situations.
But Roth had lived for ten years
out with peculiar fires and he wanted
to rest, though never suspecting his
own tiredness. 1t was q game, how
ever, that had no breathing spaces.
The mad whirligig of change held both
of them relentlessly. He grew to de-
pend more and more upon Linda's
ingenuity in managing, and when she
failed or seemed to fail, he became
victimized by a silly, futile rage that
blamed her for their particular pre-
dicament.
1t took them two years to get to
Switzerland, but they reached there
at the proper moment. The ice was
at it's best and all the winter sports
were as keen as If the weather had
been ordered by aerial wire.
Roth meant to enjoy every moment
Of it. He liked snow and there were
some new stunts that year. But three
days after their arrival he had an un-
comfortable interview with the man
ager of the hotel. He promised to
move on that night then he went up
stairs and struck Linda across the
face with blow that left an ugly
mark for time to come. He left her
lying across the bed shielding her
shame, and staggered out, determined
to have his play to the last. He had
it for two hours. Later they brought
him Ia on stretcher with broken
neck, and that was the end of honey.
