He Saw the Black Hole.
The first thing I wanted to see in In
dia was the "Black Hole" of Calcutta.
I could hardly wait to see the famous
prison in which. In 1756, 133 people
were suffocated in a single night One
hundred and fifty six British prisoners,
captured by the natives, were cast Into
a room eighteen feet square, and the
following morning only twenty-three of,
them were living.
Without waiting to unpack my trunk
I hurried to the spot But I was sadly
disappointed, for all there was there
was a monument with-a chain around

served the prison, with Its two small
windows, and put a showcase in the
corner with samples of the nails and a
rusty hinge.
The restored prison
would have been filled with wax fig-
ures, their coats noticeably dusty and
hunched at the collar, and outside

After one has ridden for a few weeks
on Tokyo trams he realizes that more
than 2,000,000 people, living within a
radius of three miles of the Imperial
palace, require many trams to carry
them. Seats are always at a premium.
Even the New York subway Is not as
continually crowded. The trams are
fast, well handled and plenteous, but a
moving stairway or sidewalk covering
all the tram lines In the city would
scarcely fill the bill.
There are five or six stations from
which trains depart for different parts
of the empire, but these stations are
only joined by city trams, so that If
