GIFTS TO THE PEOPLE OF
INDIA.
These are the days of reversals
: Instead of the Western world look
! ing to the East for fancy articles,
! many parts of the Orient are
reaching out to the United States
! for goods.
The United States Consul in Kara
chi, India, says that fancy leather
goods are much favored in his dis
trict for the holidays and for birth
day and wedding presents. Worked,
carved and plain leather writing
cases, jewel cases, collar and brush
boxes and picture frames are used
in this way. Since the war began
J Russia no longer sends carved
' leather to India. Since the hotels
| do not generally supply stationery,
j there is a demand among officials
j and business men for writing cases
; in which to carry it.
There is also a steady, although
not large, sale of inexpensive im
ported jewelry in Northwest India,
the articles most in demand being
brooches, pendants, rings and brace
lets (banges). The chief purchasers
; of this kind of jewelry are in Euro
pean residents. Expensive articles
are not in general demand. Dia
monds and other stones have no
gyreat sale to the general pubic
in this district. India princes and
ver yrich natives buy jewels in
large quantities, but the business is
done privately and there is no way
of knowing how expensive it is.
Rings are usually plain gold or
have a device worked in gold. Those
with stone settings have a smaller
sale.

RADIATIONS FROM THE EARTH.
While much attention has been
' paid in recent years to rfieasure
I ments of the amount of solar
■ radiation received by the earth,
’ at different places and seasons,
and under various conditions, there
| have been comparatively few
measurements of another import
ant factor in the thermal economy
, of the earth, viz., the amount of
heat radiated outward by the
earth’s surface at night. Normal
I measurements of terrestrial radia
I tion have generally been limited
to the comparison of readings of
unscreened minimum thermometers
laid on the ground with those of
similar thermometers exposed in a
screen some feet above the ground.
Such observations merely show
whether nocturnal radiation has or
has not been active, but give no
real quantitative values.
Since May 14, 1914, measure
ments of the loss of heat from a
blackened surface freely exposed
to the sky at night have been made
by the weather bureau at Mt.
Weather, Va. The maximum rate
observed was 0.22 calorie per min
ute, or 13.2 calories per hour,
and occurred on a clear night in
early June. The rate has been found
to be very uniform during a clear
night. If the same rate is main
tained during the day, the total
radiation from the earth during
24 hours of clear weather in June
may amount to 317 calories, or
about 40 per cent, of the isolation.
The average nocturnal radiation in
June was, however, less than 60
per cent, of this maximum, and
continued to fall off as the water
vapor cor.ient of the atmosphere
increased.
Buenos Aires, South America,
capital c-ty of the Republic of
Argentina, maintains an important
daily newspaper, "La Presna," which
is different from any other publi
cation in the world, in that it not
only circulates the daily news, but
provides free legal advice to the
public, and a medical and dental
service without charge. It conducts
a school of music, bureaus of in
formation relative to schools, etc.,
and maintains rooms for public
meetings, plays, concerts and lec
tures. It also furnishes a library
and reading rooms for the use of
the public, as w-ell as luxurious
apartments for the entertainment
of distinguished guests. On the roof
of its fine building is an observa
tory which keeps track of the
weather, and locates fires by the
aid of its powerful searchlight. "La
Presna” supports for the benefit of
its employees a restaurant, gymn
asium and hospital. Its editor-in
chief is Doctor Adolfo E. Davila.
Senora Angela de Costa, of Buenos
Aires, is the President of the South
: American Association for Universal
Peace, and this flourishing capital
city is keenly interested in all the
' great international questions of the
1 day.—From The People’s Home
’ Journal for March.
